Mr. uWinker and I tend to find ourselves in long, very wordy academic discussions about incredibly random things that sometimes go on for a day or two. Sometimes I worry these discussions are annoying other people who happen to be in games with the two of us.
I just wanted to publicly say, I'm a little creeped out by some of the avatar trends. And not the ones you'd think.
It'd be interesting to see why people choose to represent themselves the way they do via their avatars. And specifically why some chose to participate in these silly trends in the Tengaged setting where the social pressure for these things is next to nothing.
The social structures of Tengaged are just so bizarre. I think I might start observing a lot more of the interactions than I have been previously. Its really intriguing me.
So this karma business. I don't get it. I mean, I do get it and I think it's a good point system to have, but I don't get how it works. You get karma for when a game finishes, and for inviting friends, but there's apparently something else which I'm not getting. My karma randomly jumps a point or two and I can't figure out for the life of me why.
As my first two games reach their last 12 hours, it's become apparent there's a bit of subterfuge and alliance-forming happening behind the scenes. It'll be interesting to see if this strategy really works out for these mystery compulsive down-voters.
I'm confident my strategy of being a nice person and not being too concerned with winning will prove to be a much more fulfilling way to use Tengaged, but we shall see. Oh how we shall see.
