ALGO Jul 28, 2009
I wish the algo was a little more accurate...man, I've finished 2 games and in both of them I was algo'd out (7th and 5th).  The problem I have is that some of the people who made it passed me weren't as active as I am.  It's so frustrating to see someone who hasn't been on for the last 14 hours still alive when I'm out of the game.  I know that a strategy is to vote out the more active players since the less active players will get algo'd, but when I try doing this and I get algo'd BEFORE that inactive player?!? How does that work?

In my second game, I thought I was for sure in the final 4, because myself and the other 2 voters planned out who we were gonna vote out so that the most inactive nom would be algo'd. Instead, I was algo'd! I don't get it!  Ontop of that, this player I thought should have been algo'd in my place WON THE WHOLE THING! First place! I don't understand how the algo lets that happen!

I just wish that the algo was a little more accurate...it's soooo frustrating to be algo'd out and look in and see someone with the "1 Day" sign under their name...

My 3 Games Jul 28, 2009
This forum is all about my success so far in "Tengaged", which has shocked me at how well I've done.  Alright, I already have a post all about my first game, so I don't need to go into detail over it.  I will say, however, that I was fairly confident about final 6, and I got algo'd 7th...It was a dissappointment for me, but I stepped back and realized I did make money and Karma, so it was a successful 1st attempt.   Then, I joined a second game...I was so nervous the 1 time I was nommed in the final 8, but I secured the votes and wasn't voted out. I was actually more nervous of the algo again, it would've sucked to go out in the same position as my first game.  But, I made it to final 6.  I was very excited, and I saw the other players who were nommed and inactive, and I pretty much already figured I'd be in final 4.  Then, I got algo'd 5th. Very dissappointing, and oddly enough the guy I thought would end up algo'd in my place won the game.  Finally, my 3rd game.  I'm in the final 4, with all 3 members of my personal alliance.  I can't believe it! Well, in 11 and a half hours that game ends, and no matter what happens, I can still say that I've improved each game and I've never been voted out, even with my 5 nominations.

Why Should We Have To Wait? Jul 22, 2009
So I took 7th in my first casting game (I'm pretty excited about that lol) but I was confused when I was unable to jump right into a new one.  Why should evicted players have to wait until their game they lost in is completely over for them to be allowed to join a new one?  I mean, I can't do anything for a couple days, which isn't bad.  But what about people that are voted out early?  Like in Bjork's case in my last game, he got 20th place, so he had to wait 4 DAYS!?!?  That's not cool.

Eventually, when I can play in other games besides just Casting Games, I hope that you don't have to wait.  Do I have to wait to play a casting game if I'm evicted from a Stars game?  I don't really know, so if someone wants to let me know please do!

Thanks!
