Flaws With Rookies (LONG)

1stJun 6, 2010 by soccerguy0428
- Random HoH
- Hmmm completely activity based game for hoh (Once premade gains control, they keep it. They just nom the 2 most active not in their own alliance so that next hoh goes to one of their own again.)
- That there are 3 noms, there should not be an algo for who the most inactive is. What if everyone is actively talking? Then no one deserves to go up on the block for being "inactive."
- That PoV goes to someone in the top 3 most active. And that the PoV holder is not publically known to everyone and that there is no ceremony so they can use it however they want and can keep switching who they veto. There should be a real ceremony so that only 2 people are noms.
- That the previous HoH, if not algoed, gets to vote out their own noms. They should only vote and in case there is a tie, the algo looks at the hohs votes and breaks the tie that way. Otherwise, the hoh should get no vote.
- Another point, the hoh should not be able to become its own nom by algo. It just doesnt make sense. If there was no algo, this would be solved.
- Voting, it should be a vote to evict like in Survivor. You get 1 vote, not 6. The 3-2-1 voting scale just does not work. And if we took the algo out of the game then it would work out fine. If you have 4 people on your side out of 7, you should get to evict who you want. Not have to think of a plan when the other side has pov and has 3 voters. If you have the majority, you should get to evict who you want. It should not have to be a huge math equation to figure out how to all vote so that you get who you want gone.
- Also, if it wasn't based so much on activity there would be far less spam. Sometimes you can tell people just are posting for the sake of posting to get hoh or to not be the algo.
- This is where some people might not like it, but there should be a challenge for rookies. NOW WAIT it will be a new challenge. A challenge that takes 5-10 mins to complete and would be a new one that is difficult and not something you can practice. It will only be in rookies and because the rounds are 24 hours long everyone will have time to do a longer challenge.
- Also, the problem is is that if you deserve hoh the next round in this current rookies, if you are nommed then you dont get hoh. Some new system needs to be brought up so that anyone can get next hoh, not just the people who are un-nommed next round. This will definitely not let premades always have control in the game.

With all of this, STRATEGY will actually needed to be used. It is not guaranteed then that your side of the house will always be in power with hoh. You will need to privately talk to other people then outside of your alliance. It will be good to actually talk to everyone since you would definitely have to do that in the real game. This whole blog is just because rookies should not all be about premades. You get 20, 12 and 10 karma for 1st-3rd and if you join with a premade and the other people in the game are oblivious, you will just walk straight to the final day. All you need to do is keep switching off hoh from your alliance by nomming the right people. It's just too easy for premades nowadays and something needs to be changed.

Make a second rookies then and call it a different name if some people will still want to play this version. But a new version of rookies needs to be created, one that actually reflects more of the real version we all love to watch.

Now I expect negs, plusses, criticism...etc but please let me know what you think of all of this.

Comments

I agree with you!  Rookies definitely needs an update or at least a new game needs to be created for it.  It's really not as fun as it used to be..especially if you can't be on 24/7 or join without a premade.

+5 I think the biggest problem is that we have to alter Rookies to make premades less successful. I HATE that your only shot to stay alive in Rookies is to go in with a premade 90% of the time. That drives me absolutely crazy. There is some major flaws in the Rookie game which sucks because I absolutely love Rookies and I can't play most of the time because there's a premade, so I have to wait for the random chance that there's a game full of "randoms" which is almost never... It's like I'm stuck playing Castings forever because I seriously don't want to play with a premade, it isn't fair.

ILLEGALIZE PREMADES!

I agree the rookies game is nothing like the real BB, random hoh on the first day is stupid and some people with no lives can eat, study and do homework at the computer, continuously posting to get HOH while other people actually leave the computer for periods of time.

rookies is fun, if only there are no premades..D;

i think making the HoH random everyday is the simplest solution..=]

if hoh is chosen randomly = premades can't dominate , because..

1. they can't control who gets hoh because its random, so even if they nominate the 2 most active. there's still a chance that someone not part of the premade will get it..:D

2. if you join with a premade and the hoh is randomly chosen, then you'll be seen as threats. chances are you and your allies will get nommed everytime the hoh doesn't go to your side.

3. because of #2 , people "might" start joining rookies without a premade. its a good strategy to keep low profile or to get the target off your back..=]

-well i can be wrong but this is just my opinion/idea, i agree to most part of this blog..i already tried joining rookies alone a few times and its more fun than joining with a premade and walking straight to final day..=]

i just disagree with the part about how anyone should win HoH. Thats wrong, because basically, then if u nomm me, and i win HoH, who is the other nomm? considering you basically wanna do away with the algo!

Honestly, I already blogged about this. Rookies should not be changed, many people got used to it and a bunch of people won't be happy if its changed, we just need a new BB game with pov being shown, 2 nominees, 1 sole vote etc.

POV isn't given to 1 of the top 3 active ppl anymore, that was changed months ago but randomize never edited it saying that in the rookies hints. Now POV is completely random and can go to any1

Sent by Heathlalalovesyou,Jun 7, 2010
Until anything is done to reduce the strength of pre-mades, they will remain the best chance for anyone to win, so they will definitely stay.

Unfortunately, some people will always win by employing the same strategy every time, as the only chance for others is to be the first HoH and nominate two members of the alliance.

The betting industry thrives as people who can identify them will surely earn good money.

I don't think the current rookies should be updated like this, as it is called 'rookies' for a reason, it's for beginners. A new game should be created with these new rules implemented. Some nice suggestions +9.
