Another Castings game completed and another oh-so-close finish but I still have yet to win a game ;)
So let me start by saying this is the 4th game I've played, and while it started out as my worst game and I was nominated earlier than ever before I actually managed to get my best finish out of it; go figure :P
This was the first game in which I never had an alliance. In my other three games I really went out of my way to make sure I was always voting the same as someone else and that I had a tight bond with at least one other person, but this time I decided to see what would happen if I just rode solo. To begin with nobody actually nominated for the first round and for some reason 2 people were just automatically nominated (I had POV so I was safe) so Mentalist was the first go go.
An interesting conversation/argument came around about people 'negging' others comments, and because I was online at the time I was accused and thus for nominated because of this. I thought I was toast, and at the time didn't really care, but despite getting the same amount of votes as netali I was more active so she got the boot. So right now I'm feeling like I'm a goner no matter what; yet ironically I was never nominated again :P The next five boots (saamlot75, KrisStory, rosieskeleton, CindyStar & emo_chick) were all eliminated because of the same reason netali was; being inactive.
So right now its down to 8 and this is when I started having small chats with rhysarnie14; the only person I would ever have PM conversations with. I would hardly say we had an alliance because we shared around 8 posts in all; yet both of us avoided nomination and watched the other members fall one after the other starting with MatthewAlvarez then conza1994 and RonnyKuhh. While summerlover and I talked in the public chat, and even played online games together on another site; we never spoke strategy; and she followd RonnyKuhh.
Now we're down to the Final 4, and thankfully I got POV at the right time because it meant I would be in the Final 3 and have a shot at winning. rhysarnie14 wanted Lotta gone, so she did. I didn't know if I would have a chance winning against rhysarnie14 or FEY91, and in the end I didn't because rhysarnie14 won with FEY91 coming in 3rd. I'm pleased that I've made my best position; but now I'm more hungry than ever for a win.
Oh and a side note; all four winners in the four Castings games I've played worked with me in the game. The moral of the story being if you work with me you will end up winning LOL ;)
