Feel the fear in my enemies’ eyes. Listen as the crowd would sing; “Now the old king is dead, long live the king.” One minute I held the key. Next the walls were closed on me. And I discovered that my castle stands. Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand. - Coldplay
Sometimes, good things fall. Every story has an end, but in life every end is just a new beginning. Some days, you just have to create your own sunshine. It is what it is. Accept it and move on.
I recently had a really good run at achieving the final day in rookie karma based games. My streak had started on June 13th of this year and had ended on December 9th of this year. I had reached the final day in rookies 13 consecutive times, out of being eligible to join rookies once a week over the last 27 weeks. I don’t think too many people can say they have achieved what I was able to achieve in rookies, despite only joining 48% of the time over the last 7 months. I don’t toot my own horn very often, but I am proud of what I was able to accomplish. I was able to work my magic amongst cast members and convince people on the outside to bet on me in most games, despite the odds being so stacked against me. I had joined some really tough rookie games early on in this streak (by splitting up fraternities, working my way inside charity games, and convince others I was working with them, while working against them). I didn’t think this streak would end by the end of this year, to be honest. But I will be the first to admit, I started to get big headed and I thought I could roam into any rookies game and reach the final day without a problem. as I said earlier, I am accepting it and I am moving on. I might just start up a new streak now!
My streak first started on June 13th, when I was able to highly upset mminervini219 (the fraternity president) and IceBeast (for 11th and 10th places respectively) in our Symmachia fraternity rookies game, by convincing others to follow my lead. The betters were really pissed off and were mad at me. I still feel pretty terrible at running the game at my own pace, by betraying two really good friends of mine (just so I had a chance at reaching the final day). At the final day change, Algo was in my favor for once and I was able to win my very first rookies game. I was unbelievably stoked! Let me tell you.
My streak just ended yesterday, when I was unavailable to spam during cswaggerr’s 300th game charity game when he was online. I only had a friend or two in the game playing alongside of me, as I wasn’t able to convince the others to keep me around long enough to see Carlos’ charity succeed. I had an eerie feeling that my streak was coming to an end. Throughout the course of those 13 games, I had won 3 times (1 fraternity game and 2 13 post games) and I had gained 361 pieces of karma from this streak. So it’s been “all good in the hood lately.” And I couldn’t be more stoked to play careless free again. Hell. I just joined a 13 post game ruined by 3 TV stars. So what should I expect? LOL.
Successful charities I was apart of: mminervini219 (400th game charity) Mitchkid64 (silver color level charity) Dane_Williams (1,000th game charity) wym395 (sky color level/200th game charity) LuckyLefty (black color level charity)
What’s the most consecutive rookies finals anyone has ever been in? Let me know! I’m just curious.

probably Doug
the actives were really fucking dominant with their premades back with Doug/Megan/Chris/etc
Common hey! do you have their usernames by chance? I enjoy looking back at players' past games. I'm an analytic, statistical person. it gets me through the day.
Shonaynay yeah man. that sounds like it was pretty stout. that has to be a good moment on here. I think one month, I scored like 350 karma on here. I was pretty pumped about that.
