I'm laughing over how silly and petty people can be over a GAME.
Yes, this is a social website, and as such everyone should have fun and get to know each other. But Tengaged is not just a social chatroom to sit around and be nice to each other on. It's a competition. Hell, the Tips in Newbies ENCOURAGE it:
"TIP: Have you try to send private messages to another housemate?, Maybe you could create some secret conspiracy."
Listen. Everyone wants to have their shot at staying. But people have to go, and in the self-centered world that you live in, when that gets stripped away, you DRAMATICALLY and publicly denounce two players who claim it was an accident, and then continue to bitch them out just for playing the same angle the game encourages.
If it was an accident, that sucks. Move on, and stop throwing a childish tantrum. If it was a backstab, then that sucks. You got played. Move on, and start another game.
Because you do realize that when you lose one, you can just... START ANOTHER! :O
I have a genuine belief that it was a mistake. I've spoken to the people in question, as I've already gotten along with them very well over the site, and they were broken up about it and didn't mean for it to happen.
Even a top player admitted that she's messed up votes herself. It can happen.
But just in case, this is for all of you that don't understand the concept of Big Brother:
Get rid of the competition, or join up with them and trash the rest. Yes, it sucks, but you have to do it. I'm doing it right now, and I don't like having to do it when I actually enjoy talking to them. But it gets me and the people that cared to talk to me in the final 5.
Trust me, you can do all this cold strategy while innocently socializing and having fun.
So when you get evicted, just laugh in disbelief because you got owned, and start over. You're not playing for money. It's not your one and only shot at half a million. It's reincarnation with people you already know and can play with again, like any board or card or video game.
It's a game of social chess. Pick up the pieces again, reset the board, and enjoy your next round.
It's just too bad this all had to happen over an ACCIDENT. Forgive and forget.

I understand the concept of Big Brother very well. But like I said to them its all good. I now know better. It was my first game and my first experience even after I heard of all the other dramatic games that were going on. Its my blog, I'm allowed to write whatever I want. If people choose to read it, that's up to them. If peopel choose to talk about it, that's also up to them. I'm allowed to have my opinion just as you are allowed to have yours. In my opinion, I don't think it was an accident. :) So forgive me for "denouncing" two of your friends. I'm entitled to do it on my own blog if I choose too. Just like you are doing now.
