It's been 3 years since I first played Tengaged. It was back in 2010 when I was looking for a game like Survivor, because I was totally in love with reality shows. I already knew Big Brother (Brazil) since like forever... since I was a little child. But I started watching Survivor when my english was decent, and I could understand all of it. I think it was 2009, or 2008. I can't remember it.
I also can't remember my first account here, but I do remember the day I first played because it was my cousin's birthday (today). I do remember one of the accounts I made after forgeting my first one:
http://www.tengaged.com/user/maat_br
I didn't really play much on this second account because I found out there was a brazilian tengaged and I didn't know about it. I went for that and that was really nice, back in that time I didn't have really any friends in here. I was that lonely boy on school reading a book alone.
Tengaged not only helped me realize I was smart and could win something, just using my head, but it also told me I can be friendly and I can have friends. Tengaged gave me the confidence that was missing, and I can't be more thankful for that.
Tengaged gave me so much and I just couldn't walk out from that experience without helping it grow even more. That was when I started helping randomize , reporting some issues, asking him to fix some bugs I found, and also I was a connection between randomize and Tengaged Brazil, since most of them can't speak in english.
After I got know as a helpful player, the current admin (D4NG3R) gave me the Administration because he knew Tengaged really mean a lot to me and also that I was the best choice at that point.
After that, it all got frustrating. Randomize didn't reply my as often as Tengaged Brazil was needing. I was needing him to transfer the mod power from D4NG3R to my account, because I was Admin helping Tengaged Brazil (and he knew that, I mailed him before getting the Administration). I also told him I was logging on D4NG3R so I could use mod power to remove ilegal content from the website.
Then, without notice, he just fired me and gave power to someone that could even speak in portuguese. It was a mess, I got banned permmed like 3 times for no reason. I'm banned permmed untill today and randomize didn't even unbanned me, I had to make another account:
http://www.tengaged.com.br/user/realness
Today I don't see Tengaged as I used to see. It's not a community as it was. It's just a bunch of people trying to get famous, karma, T$ and trying not to get a beef with mods, because they will ban for no reason.
I miss when we use to talk like we were all friends, solving the problems together. When someone was banned there was a discussion and if the mods did something wrong, they would just unban the player and apologize.
I'm just sad because I know people won't get to see the Tengaged I saw, and with that, they won't be able to know awesome people like I did. Right now, tengaged brazil it's only gaming, and gaming.
Thank you randomize for changing my life. I hope you can do the some to others, just not like Tengaged is right now.
I'm typing from a cellphone, it has auto correct in portuguese, sorry if there's something wrong or a few words in portugues, lol.
