Jenn City's Song Time

I'll make this short and simple. I'm a noob at BB games, everyone called it. It was my first game...so I'm surprised I even made it to jury.

My questionish statement is:
Tell me where I went wrong in the game and how I could do better in future BB games. However, you have to play to my strengths...whatever you think they might be. I don't want you to put me in your shoes...I want you to put yourself in mine :-P

(sorry if this is a very selfish question...I just think everyone already hit the questions I had pretty well)

I think you are off to a good start. The key for me when I make allies is I like to align with people that I can talk to about not only the game but also life. You and I had a lot of good conversations about life and you were an awesome person to get to know. I think this trait is good to have because it is a lot harder to gain then further understanding.

I think once you play a few more of these and understand what strategies work and what strategies don't you will be a lot more successful. I think one of the keys is to be outgoing and trying to talk to everyone. For whatever reason a lot of people early on said you were one of the people they didn't talk to a lot which was the exact opposite for me so I think just working on continued social interaction will do wonders.

Thanks for your question! Good luck in future games!

Hey Jenn! I have been in the org community for a little over a year so I can connect to how you feel. You did fairly well for your first time, but I do think your social game needs some tweaking. I felt like I really didn't connect to you at the beginning of the game because I would have to start almost all of our conversations. Don't be afraid to initiate the conversations yourself.

So yeah, a social game definitely helps you out throughout the game because you can form bonds and such to better your chances. I mean, you don't have to LIVE on AIM to have a good social game, but it helps to be on frequently and start conversations as well as try to hold them. Other than that, I think Big Brother orgs have a learning curve to them that you would have to identify yourself as you keep playing. It would have to be up to you to see how you want to play each game, ya know? A suggestion I have is looking at other games and all the different strategies people had in those games. They might help you find the way you want to play these games.

So you're doing a good job so far and good luck in your future games!
