Games
Okay there are three types of games: Casting, Rookies, and Stars. When you first enroll I would assume that you are told to start playing in a casting game (the only game available to newbies). Now I don't know exactly how the enrolling process for newbies goes as recent, being as I joined way back in June when everything was different, but I would assume it is along the same lines.
Now, when you join your first casting game you have to wait for others to join and enroll into the same game that you are playing. There will be 20 people overall in said game. Once when the enrolling process for that game is finished, the same enrolling process for a new game starts. So lets say that you join the game "7748" (if you aren't the last one to join) you have for 20 (or less) more people to join game "7748". One when the enrollment process for the game "7748" is finished, the enrollment process for game "7749" starts, and so on and so forth.
The key to any Tengaged game is to be as active as you can. If you are active there is a good chance that you wont be put up for nomination. In a casting game there are NO HoH's and NO POV's. Those are only available in the Rookies game. Well you say, how can I be put up if there isn't an HoH, Randomize (the wonderful creator of this site) built in something called an algorithm. It detects ho many points you have earn ( the plusses or minus) that you were give that day, amongst other things, and that decides who is put up for nomination. It is a little confusing, but all you have to worry about is just staying active and keeping on top of how many points (plusses and minuses) that you have gotten through that day. ALSO: AS A NOTE, you really want to make friends EVEN in casting games, because that could be the determination factor of weather you stay or go in ANY game. These would be otherwise known as "alliances".
Now as you move on through the days of the game (in casting there is a total of 9, 12 hour days) you will notice tips on how you can help yourself move further in the game. I would recommend following these tips each day, because they are really helpful if you are confused. ALSO: 2 people are evicted each day on a casing, leaving a final four on day 9.
Now, Rookies are a different kind of breed, and take a LOT more time and devotion. There is a eviction each day over a period of seven days. The algorithm will pick the HoH randomly the first day, and from days 2-6 will be picked based on activity, points, and such. The POV is picked (by, you guessed it, the algorithm again) but this time it is randomly chosen between the top three active contestants. So winning the POV is a little different thank winning the HoH. NOTE: HoH = randomly chosen 1st day, and on days 2-6 it is based on activity, points, and whatever else. POV = activity! Be active and you will win it. ALSO: You cannot win HoH and POV at the same time. So don't try to reach that goal.
Betting is only available on Rookies games, and can subliminally change how the HoH makes his/her decision on who should be nominated.
ALLIANCES! You want to have the strongest alliance in the "house". This would usually consist of trying to get the smartest players of a past/present Rookies games. Hall of Famer's are also more of the nicer people of Tengaged, and if you need help just go ask them and they will give you good, reliable information, because they have all been there. ALSO: Only 1 person leaves at one certain time NOT two, like the casting. And, if you have ever seen Big Brother (US) you should know that the POV saves any one of the nominees, that same rule applies for Tengaged.
Stars. The hardest game you will EVER play. It looks like all fun and easy, but it is FAR from it! When you enroll (only every Saturday at 6 pm EST/ 5 pm C) you are welcomed to a screen that automatically updates how many seats are available (out of 16), how much money is required to enter, and what color level you have to have to enter. NOTE: Color levels RARELY reach to an orange, even a light green at times. Money is also an issue for people.
Unlike the Rookies game, everyone has a form of HoH control, everyone can nominate anyone (besides themselves) and two receive the most nominations from the group of 16 is nominated for all of Tengaged to vote to evict from the stars house. NOTE: Stars nominate people, once when the votes are tallied and the nominees are revealed, Tengaged votes on who they want to see leave.
Stars goes to down to a final thee. The final eight get money, the final three get money AND karma.
NOTE: People get very confused over this, but when you want to evict somebody you give he/she a 3 not a 1.
So, what have we learned?
Evicting: 1 = the one you want to keep, 2 = You're not my friend, but I'll give you a second chance, and a 3 = I hate you, LEAVE!!
HoH = your best friend
POV = helpful, but not necessary, unless you are up for nomination
2 leave in a casting game, 1 leaves in Rookies and Stars.
Blogs
These are very simple creatures. All that is needed done is just post a topic that you find interesting and what other people find interesting. Then once when you figure out a title, post it, Then once it shows up in the public people have the right to plus or minus the blog, depending if it is out of gratitude, complete hatred, or whatever, you are bound to get a few plusses (which are good, and maybe a few minuses (which is bad). Though, this correlates with money. The more plusses and comments you have the more money you will get. The minuses actually don't do anything, as a matter of fact even if you got -55 and had 60 comments, you are getting money form those comments, EVEN after you got negged (minused). The unfortunate thing is that you don't make a ton of money off of blogs.
What did we learn?
Topic = something interesting, nothing boring. (The better the tone of the blog the more feedback you receive)
Money = Plusses-YAY! Minuses-Eww!
Comments = are my personal favorite of blogs, they bring the community together, and get you money!
Next lesson is on Money, something I already toughed a little on
Ok so im new to this whole thing... so if you wanna fill me in that would be great mkay
