is it just me or is it now harder to get a good placing in castings?
while i appreciate that the nominations are no longer based on the algo, i do believe that the minigames are too much a factor. there are some people who are just naturally good at the games and takes advantage of that by just coming in every day change, participate in minigames, then leave. it's unfair to the people who are more active, but people may argue otherwise.
You have to make the minigames have a decent role otherwise it would be pointless having them, but they don't necessarily mean someone is not nommed anymore. In some instances, because they don't have many keys and are not active, the highest scoring players were nommed, so the changes actually make it easier to get better in the game, especially if you aren't very good at the minigames because before you were automatically nommed with a bad score, but now that's not automatically the case. :)
