Match Three Oct 12, 2009
So, I just played match three as the immunity challenge in my survivor game, and really like the game... But I suck at it!

It's still a nice change from numbers, the one with the wheel that takes up far too much time, and the one that's completely based on luck. Bring on more!

A Little More Experience, A Little More Orange... A Little Less Triumph Oct 7, 2009
I've played three more games since winning my very first one (two rookies and one casting), and I've encountered a few problems with people being unfair or just plain stupid, but I can't say I wasn't warned!

My most recent game was really great. It kept me on the edge of my seat for the duration, so thanks to everyone that played with me! It's been memorable. Skyy, you're crazy. I have nothing against you but you're extra paranoid, and you kept throwing me under the bus, which I didn't appreciate.

I was loyal to you from the beginning, and when we got to the final five you kept talking all this smack about how you carried me. I said this to you in the game and I will say it again here.

I go to a really tough school with lots of work, plus I work to keep myself afloat. I do not have the support of family to get by - I support myself. So sorry for not being on tengaged all the time being as active as possible in order to make sure I get HoH to keep my alliance safe.

Quite frankly real life is a whole lot more important to me than this.

With that said, thanks again to everyone who played, and good luck in all future games! Especially becky, you're a really sweet girl, and sheldon, you're the only one who truly had my back! You seriously deserved to win, I could not be happier!

As a sidenote: I hate premades. This game:

is absolutely ridiculous. FIVE of those people were in my first rookies, and I also know three of those five just finished playing an additional rookies together. Like, just stop. Move on, play different people. It's rather pathetic.

My next challenge: survivor, now that I've become orange!

I have to go to class now. Just wanted to say a few things about my recent experiences!

There's no way I could have possibly - what? I won?! Sep 21, 2009
I don't know how this happened! I made it to the finals with three really great players and somehow I beat them all?! In my first game!

I thought I was playing a good game but I didn't actually think it would matter in the long run. I made little moves throughout the entire game and well, it all paid off.

Congrats to my alliance for making the final four and good luck in your next games!

Now I have to decide whether to go yellow and play Rookies, or take a break. I was hoping to make it to Rookies after my first game, but I had no clue it was even actually possible! Guess I'll have to try my luck!

First Casting - Final Four! Sep 20, 2009
Wow, what a crazy ride this has been. I never expected to make it this far, especially in my first ever game. Luckily I fell into a great alliance from the start with some really awesome people. Noontar, GoGoGirl, saxtomophone, I couldn't have done it without you three. From 20 to 4, we did it.

To those that fell by the wayside, good luck in future games, and no hard feelings! Those that were active played well, and I'm sorry you couldn't have made it farther.

Good luck to all, and congratulations to whoever wins. Team green (unintentional or not)!

Unpredictable Algorithm Sep 18, 2009
So this is my first game ever here on tengaged, and it seems that there are a lot of inactives in my game, #9911. I'm talking people who haven't been around for almost two real-time days, who only joined in the beginning to neg everyone. Expecting them to get algo'd out, however, seems to be foolish because it's day 5 and they (one in particular) are still in the game while another who was active 6 hours ago, was algo'd out. The same thing happened yesterday.

As I understand it, negging is detrimental to your individual algorithm and could have played a part in the houseguest's early departure, but there hasn't been any negging since those three at the very beginning.

I suppose it doesn't really matter because TheBitchIsBack will in fact not be back, and will get voted or algo'd out EVENTUALLY. But it helps to know that even when I think I'm safe, or when I think I'm definitely screwed, I'm really not. Good to know.

I hope to still be around for a while!

As a side note, Miley's "Party In The USA" randomly popped into my head, and seconds later a car passed with it blasting.

"Nodding my head like yeah, moving my hips like yeah"
