so I have an ongoing love/hate relationship with Rookies charities. I am able to see both the pros and cons of hosting your own charity game. However, I'm a firm believer in accountability and being organized/responsible for when it comes to hosting your own charity on Tengaged.
First and foremost, there's no reason that a Rookies charity should take an entire day to fill! If you're going to host a charity on Tengaged, get everyone on board before you take up a game slot. I'm looking at you mrmuffinman. you took at least 42 hours to fill a Rookies game? That is just unacceptable. The amount of time your Rookies charity game should take to fill should take less than 8 hours to complete. If you don't have enough friends to fill your own charity, a charity for you isn't for you. No exceptions.
Don't expect every Tengaged user to just roll over, waiting for their belly to be scratched like a little puppy. If you are going to have a charity game, be active and be aggressive in ensuring your charity is successful for yourself and for your betters. I'm looking at you HRHjonathan. I don't care what excuses you use, if your charity has been going on for 5 days and you have been inactive for 3 1/2 of those days (for your OWN CHARITY GAME may I mention), don't expect me to keep pushing you towards free karma and Tengaged money. If you won't return ANY of my messages, create a spam line for when you go to sleep or go to work, or at least notify me of who we should be voting out each day change, your charity will be DOOMED. why should I keep someone WHO ISN'T EVEN TRYING to win? especially when it is YOUR OWN CHARITY?
Lastly, I think Rookie charities must have SIGNIFICANT PURPOSES. You shouldn't host a charity for yourself if you haven't reached Gold color level by yourself or if you haven't played 500 games on Tengaged. and I also think Charity redoes are totally ridiculous. I'm looking at you Matedog1209. If you have reached Gold color level, your charity will actually mean something and will most likely be held accountable. If you have played 500 games on Tengaged, you have experience and your charity will most likely be held accountable. I find the most ridiculous purposes for "charity" on Tengaged and I sit back and laugh at all of the users who lose 30 t's over something that could have been easily avoided. ACTUALLY PLAY THE KARMA BASED GAMES AND BUILD RAPPORT AMONGST TENGAGED USERS FOR ONCE.
Remember, a charity is a voluntary act of giving help, typically in the form of money, to those in need. Just because you want a Rookies charity for yourself, doesn't mean you need a Rookies charity for yourself.
signing on Tengaged is like "playing The Price is Right" from the 90's. I like Bob Barker, but let's spice things up a bit and make this website more interactive. let's get with the program. it's 2015.
