Taking a Break! Jun 26, 2009
I have barely been on recently and I doubt anybody cares.

But I'm going to be taking a break from Tengaged. It gets overwhelming being constantly worried about "being active" in games. You are almost forced to put complete focus on the game if you really want to win. (Which in every game, I actually try really hard in)

This Monday, I have my college orientation at Rutgers University! I will be staying there for one night. I can't wait to meet new people!!

Then later, I will be leaving for Shanghai, China where I am part of a study abroard program. There, I will learn Chinese, the culture, and get to explore the city at night <3 Can't wait and I'm looking forward towards meeting new people again. I'm still kinda nervous though, like what if I get KIDNAPPED in China.

There are people in China who kidnap kids, cut their legs off and then USE them to go out in public to beg for money (cuz people feel bad for them)

After all of that, hopefully I will have time during college to play. Actually in China, I will bring my laptop and go on it once in awhile. I wonder if China allows Tengaged to be played?

Anyways, can't wait for the updates! And if you ended up reading this whole blog, Thanks!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND... Jun 22, 2009
imageBBDamian's blog about how "rich Tengaged made Amazon"

http://www.tengaged.com/blog/BbDamian/67348/how-rich-has-tengaged-made-amazon

He's talking about how Corey and Duncan are known for getting tons of T$ from the Offers.

If you go to Page 5 of the Offers page (you need to have less than 30T$), there is an AMAZON offer. You can pay Amazon a certain amount of money and in exchange, you will get T$.

Pretty much, it's unlimited and it's YOUR CHOICE in how much T$ you want.

That's why Corey1 and Duncan have like every outfit on the Auctions lol.

I'm GRADUATING!!! Jun 22, 2009
imagetomorrow guys from High School. Finally, after 18 years.

I get to leave my parents and go off to Rutgers University Business School. I'm going to miss so many of my friends though (luckily a lot of them are going to Rutgers University as well)

I'm wondering if there are any other Seniors in High School who are graduating soon as well?

I might post some of my graduation pictures on Wednesday. Can't wait for graduation.

Btw, props to supergoten for his graduation outfit: http://www.tengaged.com/design/id-2588/graduation-cap-and-gown

Perfect Timing.

Clothing for GUYS ... for Once Jun 21, 2009
I'm usually not one to advertise an outfit but please plus this outfit :)

I'm not a big fan of Aeropostale in real life, but we need some more "regular clothing" for guys for once in the Auctions.

There were a lot of nice dresses for girls, now we need some clothing for GUYS.

Should BETS be HIDDEN from Players? Jun 19, 2009
In almost all of my rookies games, the players are constantly comparing how many bets each person has. How much people bet on you can be a significant indicator of how well you will do a game.

If you have a lot of people bet on you, obviously, the greater majority believes you will do well in the game.

Most people usually perfer to have more bets. Believing that the more bets they have, the more support that is garnered towards them to win.

But in almost all of my games, there has ALWAYS been talk about evicting me just because of how many bets I have.

So, would it be better if the players of a Rookies game not be able to see how many bets they have until the game is finished? Of course, looking at one's record can impact one's judgment on someone else's skill.

But I was just think the Bets make a pretty big difference as well. It's just SOMETHING ELSE that can alter how the game can play out and I think without it - it would better even out the playing field.

Just my opinion :)
