I'm in two castings right now where there seems to be debate about the best way to go about playing in a casting.
Some people believe it's wisest to keep the inactives around, because they'll die and won't pose as much of a threat in the future.
I, however, am on the opposite side of the argument. To me, the point of playing castings isn't to win (even though it's favorable) but rather to meet people. If you're social and become friends with people in the games, you're much more likely to be successful in future castings and other games.
If you reach the finale, no matter what position you've come in, you've played the game as best you can, and hopefully you're there with four other people you appreciate.
