Edit: Those who claim Frookies is good enough, it isn't. There's no strategy. It's all about joining with large premades and blowing through the whole game in a few hours.

Edit 3: Hi guys. It's been a while. ;)
Edit 4: Wow! Huge response. I wasn't expecting this! We are almost the number 1 blog! We have proof that a lot of us want it back!
I agree it was great there was no reason to get rid of it. It was the CLOSEST thing to Big Brother we've ever had. Some people complain the hours were too short, but you just have to join the right game at the right time to fix tha.. you can't join a game at like 12 am and expect time changes to be perfect you have to join at a time you know you can join.
And this is so true. Frookies right now is NO strategy. It's just premades who knock out the other alliance 1 by 1. But in these 6 hour rookies I remember 5 of us joined ALONE and then there was a 2 seperate premades plussing each other and negging us. And I actually had the TIME to TALK to each and every non-premader in the pm's and make them realize who the premades were. So we actually formed an allaince and took out both premades and I got to the final 4.
If it was just a normal frookies we would've all gotten out because people don't take the time to look at their PM's because they're too busy spamming stupid things like "GLGLGL" "Freeze" ":)))" "Stop negging" and it's just no strategy whatsoever.. and it's very unfair.
But if he happened to bring this back, the 1 thing I think he should change which I know we'd all agree on is the final 4 situation. I really wish in the final 4 it continued like r/l Big Brother. The HOH auto goes to the final 3, and whoever wins POV is the sole person to evict one of the two nominees. And then I think whoever had the best activity in the final 4 that survived that round gets final 3 HOh and evicts one of the players. That is the most fair..
Because it's stupid how like if you win final HOH & POV and the two people you DON'T take to the finals you auto lose 2 jury votes from bitterness and they don't have time to get over it.
Yeah i don't know why I just typed a bible but anyways yeah.. I wish the final 4 would change if he changed the rookies back, it would be SO perfect :).
Timster - Could not agree more. It was a pure BB experience unlike anything that exists. No other Tengaged games compare to it. I don't see why he doesn't just add it as another option. Call it "BB USA" or "Pros" or something.
People will complain no matter what, there's no "perfect big brother game", everyone will always have opposing opinions and randomize can never win, or do something that will please all. A third big brother game will cause slow enrollment in all 3. I think frook
I would be willing to bet that Slow Rookies enrollment has slowed since bringing back the old Rookies. If he has to pick one of the other, I truly believe the last one was way more interesting.
And as far as slowing enrollment.. that's true for adding any games to the list. But the fact that you can play more than one game at a time will mean that the fun games will always fill up.
my last 4 frookies I joined alone and guess what I made F5 in all of them
so I don't understand the premades part and there is plenty of time to convince people and yes people do look at pms still, even if their spamming
I know people would hate the idea of 2 week game though
instead of 6 hour day changes, we could have 12 hours day changes but the game would take 14 irl days to complete instead of 7 irl days
I wonder if people would play that tbh?
Hinata0014 I would :) but the karma would have to be good because I wouldn't want to be screwed over and get like 5th and waste like 12 days on a game to only get 10 karma.
randomize I recently came back to find you'd got rid of the old rookies - the best one ever. the 24hr dc's on the current one is boring - the veto was much better on the old version. The jury was really good on the old version, the fact that you still played a part in the game even after you were evicted. It used to be my favourite game by far. For a period there was no crookies and people would just hope in vain that someone wouldnt vote and it would be a slow rookies, like the previous crookies
Hi!
I haven't been on in a while.
I'm guessing this Classic rookies is "conversation" based?
ew.
If it was just like the fast rookies with competitions for veto, Iwould like that better.
I was kind of hoping the rookies would be like that when I got back, now I kind of just wanna leave again
timster
It doesn't matter the "join at the right time" because the DC is NEVER set at specific hours at those rookies because people go to sleep, the 6 hours pass and the new hoh is sleeping so the game gets longer :|
so if you join at like 4 pm you won't always get a dc at that hour, in fact a day could last 18 hours like it happened to me once :/
xxandytraicyxx well its better than the crap we have now. And it makes the game unpredictable. I won an HOH and missed my noms and nommed my 2 allies but didn't care. O well i'd still prefer this over what we have now.
I just hope the 6 hour dc rookies replaces frookies
because if it replaced crookies, plp will bitch about that, even though people like the original 10 person rookies more
Randomize Read this plz! we all want it back If u do no more complaints from me and much others 10 person rookies would be good to just bring this back PLEASE
madacc responding to your earlier comment. the rookies you want back do not have a set dc time. You had 6 hours to nominate, 6 hours to use POV, and i think 6 or 12 hours to vote. If HOH got POV, it would go directly to vote messing up the DC time....
idk why everyone wants them back now, people were complaining so much when we had them anyways
People have been trying this forever but it doesn't work. But I wish it would. And you are right. It was the closest thing to actual big brother. I wish we could get it back! randomize
Randomize Just add Veto comps in the week game like Dail;y there will be comps and some days just activity. like the real BB game some days had comp sand others day don't. don'r ruin the base don the activities based game as much.
OMG Yes randomize I so miss it than this crooks that has noting but talking and algo decisions. Make the Duration the same as a crooks so game doesnt go so fast, and everyone can partake and not feel pressure to not compete in the challenge n etc.
I had my best game in the Old Slow Rookies. It was like the best thing that was there. I had a LOT of fun playing them even though I never won it was still a great experience for me. You really can have a LOT of fun (like I said before) playing the Old Slow Rookies.
