Here to report that I've final 3'd in over half my games! That's much higher than I was expecting coming into this game. And I won these game by, wait for it, (***drum roll***)....
Telling the truth and being loyal!
That's right. Not backstabbing. Being loyal.
That being said..eventually you have to get blood on your hands. The trick is getting the least amout of blood on your hands as possible.
Why do I care about the amount of blood I get on my hands? Because I will run into people I've played with before.
Usually when I see a familiar name..I check the records and see how the last game went. Was he loyal? What place did he finish? Did he lie to get there? And most importantly, Can I work with this guy?
The people I've played with, if I've won with them or not, see me as a trustworthy guy. That leads them to trust me and allows me to truly play the game I play the best.
So what's the lesson? Try to keep the target off your back, keep your hands clean, make friends, and be liked. Your win percentage will shoot up, I promise :)
2nd week on Tengaged and not looking back. Till next time.
Weird things can happen in fastings. People can lie, alliances can break over nothing, or players can be flat out bad. If you are a good player you can work around the obstacles thrown at you.
However, sometimes stupid people do things so stupid that is severely hurts your chances of winning. I experienced one of these stupid people today. His name is addytbh.
Let me say that again with some space to make it clear:

If you see this guy....DONT ALLY WITH HIM. He will do what im about to explain.
I had a 4 man alliance. He was one of them. He didnt like one of the players so he decided to POST THE CHATZY LINK IN PUBLIC CHAT. In goes everyone who is still playing into the *secret* alliance chatzy. The other alliances now know who to pick apart.
Oh yea...if you know how chatzy works you can read every messege ever posted in that particular room...so EVERYONE knew our original alliance + our targets.
Now: With that being said I still managed to F3. I got lucky mid game and out played the other alliance late game. I had no business winning that game after that stunt.
So kids...when choosing a site/app to communicate over...do skype. Skype is life. That is all.
In the meantime im starting frookies soon (1st week on this site is officially over!!)

oh and im posting my pic because it seems to get a lot of responses...i dunno it works XD
So this is my third day playing on this site. I have played 8 games (7 fasting) and I got my third top 3. I almost had this set up in my second to last game (a 7th place finish, not great but not bad) and I learned a valuable lesson from it, and it is this:
Even when you have set up a clear path for someone to win and it is a no brainer to stay with you, players can still turn on you.
I was in a position where I had a true F3 and a cluster of side alliances among the three of us that were going to be picked off one by one until F3. The move happened one eviction away from having majority with a one person side alliance and the F3 alliance. The one person I wasnt taking with me, the one person side, convinced someone within my F3 alliance to turn and they brought in the next evict into their F3. Confusing i know, but these games often are.
The player that flopped was safe no matter what. Probably why he made the call.
My other F3 member was evicted 8th followed by my 7th place eviction. It was a true 5th/4th finish because the rest of the evicts were inacts.
I was shocked. The first time in the game that I have been truly blind sighted. Why did this happen?
Because I got comfortable. I even started thinking about my Tributes shortly before I realized what was happening.
So what is the lesson here? Even if you trust someone and you have cleared a path for them....keep them on their toes. Try to eliminate anyone your F3 has connections with so they are more comfortable with you. This rule really only applies for the 7th-4th place evictions. Do this in a way that they dont realize it was your idea. Plays like this separate the good players from the great players.
I ended up top three-ing my next fasting event (which is why I have time to write this....redemption!)
Even though three top 3's across 7 games (the 8th is being played right now...my first week long "casting" game) is nothing to sneeze at, it could have been three top 3's across 6 games. Either way I feel like a champ other than my back door exit out of that game. Ill have more to post when I get more games under my belt.
