Rookies Change? F*ck NO!

Jul 7, 2010 by jamesbuc
Seriously. Rookies is A-Okay as it is! How come? Let me count the ways against suggestions I have heard.

THREE NOMINATIONS - ONE ALGO, TWO HOH
I like the three-way vote system we have now. Right now this system places a good balance in my eyes between a complete domination of a game vs an actual battle of power which is what BB should really be about. With that one algo player, it means whoever the HOH had targeted for that day, has a slightly better shot at actually evading eviction.

3-2-1 VOTING
Again a system I really enjoy using a lot. When mixed in with the POV this system can become one of the most powerful tools used in the game as sometimes all it can take is a sympathy point here and a number-shift around there (Suggesting since somebody is being veto'ed, why not give them the 2 and garuntee the person supposdly getting a 1 pointer is safe only for the 2 not to have POV and be out the door).
With some clever number-play players can easily create a majority out of a minority. I should know, ive done it many times.

HIDDEN POV
One of the most exciting things is wondering who has POV in my eyes. It what helps drive the 3-2-1 voting and what helps keep players on their toes which is important in my eyes to try and reduce some inactive players.

GAMES
HELL NO. Please just eff no. Right now there are a total of three games already on tengaged that use the four minigames. Since most players on here will rarely if ever play STARS. Rookies will come down as the ONLY game without any form of mini-game and you know what? Some people happen to hate the minigames with a passion.

PREMADES
Okay, here will always be the issue with Rookies. Then again it will always be an issue in EVERY GAME BAR STARS. There will always be a gang of people joining in a pre-made in any game. My advice? Either look at the game before joining or get at least 1 friend along for the ride with you.

ENDING
Okay yes, sometimes the ending of Rookies can be a big WTF. Id like to see more clarity in why the winner wins and why everyone else gets whatever placement. However if rather have that than a Jury who can
a) Be manipulated by outside betters
b) Be a bloc-premade, created solely to bolster votes
c) vote soley on immature reasoning (He left me on skype yesderday so im not voting him)
