Everyone expects the game of Stars to be completely fair, but the truth is that nobody can predict when a glitch or server disconnection is going to strike.
- There's the "Overcast" Stars glitch which have occurred 3-4 times until Randomize finally managed to fix it. The glitch allowed more than just 16 players to enroll by mistake. There was Stars games with 17 players, 18, 19 and even 20 people one time, if I'm not mistaken. The course of the days continued as normal, no extra days were added...it remained the same, which resulted in x amount of people(whatever amount was overcast by) to be AUTO-evicted before the Final 3 poll. I, personally was affected by this as I had made it to the F5 Unnominated and in a good position in the game, to only be auto-evicted without even going up on the block.
- There's the "Unopenedable" Stars glitch which made the Nominations tab/poll not capable of being opened. It was locked down as if you had already cast your nominations, except you did not. I remember this happening to two people in the same game. The conspiracy theorist through it was a lie to further themselves in the game by claiming they couldn't vote, but it was proved to be true when it happened again a few Stars later and the person used teamviewer to record and prove that the nomination tab would not open for him, regardless of the browser he used or computer. The issue was HIS account.
- There's the "New Day Change" Stars glitch which happened every time the server went down and came back at a random time. Once the server went down it FROZE the game so whatever was going on in the game the moment the server went down was FROZEN. Once the site was back up it would CONTINUE where it left off resulting in new day changes which resulted in wrong people getting nominated and evicted out the door!
- There's the ones where people got UNFAIRLY banned therefore couldn't vote for 12 hours+ but I'm sure a glitch had nothing to do with this...it was definitely a moderator trying to further his friend or himself in the game -SIPS TEA AGGRESSIVELY-
- There's also been times when the TIE BREAKER in Stars(Which has changed over time) has worked weird, sometimes splitting nominations when not 1 single soul split them, etc.
- Then there's the one where the server goes down, but the time kept running which made nominations and eviction votes be algorithm'd, which has only happened once(Yesterday) but I doubt it'll be the last time @_@
- There's more and more...... some haven't effected the game as much as others

16 people glitches were never fair for the first few in the game yet they got no coupon
yea BUT you can not deny its unfair for a "twist" or "unpredicted event" to completely prevent you from having any chance of winning (i.e. getting algoed out) and not being rightfully annoyed at it.
They just did it in Big Brother UK, the opening twist was a random pick for who was auto evicted. black0ut247 twists don't have to be fair to be a twist ;)
The one that stands out for me is the one that was happening when Randomize made the update to the site which made the oldest players go to the far left of the cast. It was a 20 person stars and the person at the front of the cast, jojo7784, who was always going to be auto-evicted because of the glitch, went unnominated as a result of it changing on the last day & the people who were on the left hand side (well on the second row) were shifted into being auto-evicted. :O
