I just got 6th place 2-1 in my second rookies game!
In the first few days, i had two people approach me for an alliance. Moonfelar and stageman96. They both told me they were in a group with someone else. Unfortunately both of their partners were evicted. Then they were. It sucks knowing that my teammates were dropping like flies, but I ended up pulling of something I thought impossible. I won 4 vetoes in a row. 4!. And I was nommed every time! The moment I lost, I was voted out, which sucks. Good luck to everyone left in my game!
