I joined stars this week with the goal of proving to myself that I could still play the game and play it well. At the end of the day, I’m proud of myself and the fact that for what feels like the inevitable, I went out again to the person who likely will win the game.
I’m always nervous when I join stars because of all the things I don’t have. I don’t have big chats outside the game to rack up some votes. I don’t really have the connections on this website anymore that I used to have. I don’t have all the working knowledge of who knows who and their history because I’m just not around that much.
But what I always do have is a heart. I always play caring about the people I play with, which makes it hard, but I also can always be evicted knowing I’ve not made it nasty or personal.
