Goodbye Blog

2ndSep 16, 2018 by mudndawilderness
Hey Tengaged,

It has been a great three years on the site, it's crazy to think that I spent that much time on here! I have had so much fun playing in games, hosting games, and getting to meet so many new friends. Sadly, that time has to come to an end as I move on with life, as I sometimes feel tied down by constant strategizing and hosting that gets in the way of real life. I am also going into my first year of college this year, and I figured that this would be the easiest time for me to leave.

I came onto this site because I wanted to play online Survivor. Not for the shops, not for blogging on the daily, and certainly not to make new friends. That's the one thing that shocked me on this site; although there are bullies, multis, etc, I didn't expect the community that came with it. There have been so many people that I have had the pleasure of meeting throughout the last three years that I never would have met if it wasn't for this site. So this blog is for those people, and for appreciating those friendships that I have made. On a site where the games are full of lying and deceit, it's more difficult to make long-lasting friendships. Which means I must have some pretty kickass friends.

ZforZombie - My best friend on the site, we met all the way back when you played in France, but we didn't get close until All Stars. That's when we started just having late night conversations about whatever and helped me realize how close of a bond I can make with someone online. We haven't played too many games together, and for good reason, but you have been a great friend to me and I'm glad I met you.

TJ2807 - Our friendship started in Icons, where you backstabbed me LOL. However, we played in plenty of other games after that and became close friends. My favorite moment with you was when we played in that Amazing Race group game, when I drove to all the locations while you carried me to the airports. Even though we didn't win, I'm glad we played together and got closer through that.

IceMakeRampart - Also meeting through Icons, I ended up voting you out lmfao. But afterwards, we had plenty of long conversations about things either meaningful or meaningless, and we got closer from the Revolution. I really enjoyed a lot of the moments we had together, whether on call or off, and was one of the few people I thought I could tell anything to.

Maddog16 - I really do enjoy all the conversations on Skype we have through various group chats, and you just saying “Hi” can brighten anyone’s day. There are plenty of people around you that care for you so much, including me, and you’ve definitely been an important part of my tengaged experience.

Hufus - My loved one, one of my best friends on the site. Your first group game was M&M’s Survivor: Borneo, which was also my first time hosting, and you were robbed honestly. But I saw you grow as a group gamer throughout my time on the site. Besides that, you’re an amazing person that I love talking to and just venting about games I’m in, as well as listening to you vent about games you’re in LOL. Although my favorite moment was definitely when we slayed that challenge together during the loved one visit!!

lionsden121 - Damn, we go way back. Started out as rivals in a group game, then became really close friends, then WANJ’s happened, but to this day we have been great friends. You’re definitely my longest friendship on this site, and I am glad it has lasted this long. I hope you’re happy I finally revealed my identity. :P

Path - We go back to when we would just have long conversations about games and such for no reason, and we played in Cmack’s together. After that, we rocked Zombie Island together and made it all the way to the final 3. It was amazing to have someone I could rely on so much in a game, and we showed that we can make anything happen if we put our minds to it!

Silver09 - In comparison to a lot of other people, I haven’t known you for too long. However, you’re really easy to get along with and hold a conversation with, you’re in like almost every single Viewer’s Lounge along with me. I also enjoyed our fake hatred for each other and rivalries in fast games. I wish I knew you for longer because we would’ve had even greater memories.

zorbo678 - THE OG HOSTMAN! Even though we weren’t really that close when you hosted me, since then we’ve gotten so much closer and I’m glad we did. You’re such a straight-up person and I appreciate you a lot. Just keep doing what you’re doing.

RainbowKing - Another person I didn’t get too close with until recently through the Revolution and YouTube Survivor. Although playing a game with you can be quite stressful sometimes (sorry lol), I’m glad I’ve gotten to know you outside of the game, and have always been energetic and easy to get along with.

Jaybirdnifty - I refuse to write anything about you because you are a liar and a manipulator. Lol jk, your overly sarcastic personality has always been uplifting to me and others around you. Even though I wasn’t too close with you until recently, I enjoyed all the late night calls in the Revolution and such.

oreo270 - It was really fun connecting with you through YouTube Survivor recently, and I’m glad I met you in there and the group chat. Your genuine personality makes it easy to have a conversation with you about pretty much anything.

ClumsyConnor - I met you all the way back in the “Fun 5 person games” chat, and have gotten closer with you through the Revolution. We have definitely shared plenty of laughs on call along with the others and it has been a great experience. I just wish we could’ve played a game together, that would’ve been fun.

tuter32 - I met you through Blatastic’s Big Brother, and also played in your Survivor game twice. I’m glad I have friends like you who I can just have a random conversation with whenever, even though it’s through the internet. Even though you’re not on tengaged much anymore, I still figured I’d write this.

ThePug - One of the first winners in my Survivor series, I got to get to know you through hosting you. Since then, whenever we’ve played together or hosted each other, we always had that mutual connection despite what we would do to each other in games (throwback to K&G’s :)). But you are always joking around or trolling or doing something of the sort, which is why so many people gravitate towards you.

jamessmith5 - My OG APEX alliance member, I’m glad I had someone who I could trust 100% in any game I played, as well as a very loyal friend. We would go on talking for hours about whatever in-game or out of game, and have made the games I play with you much more enjoyable. Although we have never made final 2, we were the final 2 on our tribe in M&Ns, and that’s because I knew you were a dependable person that I could lean on if I needed help.

I just did my first page of friends, I have met so many amazing people on this site so I wish I could do more. I will be doing a PYN where I will be writing things about whoever wants one so stay tuned for that :)

Thank you to everyone for making my time on the site such a fun experience, including all my friends, some of which are above. Also, thank you to the hosts for allowing me to play all these games ( cmack311, Blatastic1234, TwentyOnePilots, ZforZombie, tuter32, NJKoda1998, Pieguy555, OldNewz, WANJ, ThePug, and ghrocky100 to name a few).

Other than that, it’s been such a fun time on this site, and I can’t believe it’s coming to an end. I hope to keep in touch with some people, but for most people I’m afraid this will be a wrap. So goodbye everyone, and wish me luck :)

-Ben (Mud)

Can I just be the first person to say...THANK GOD. It's about time I finally got you off of this sight. YOU ARE A LIAR AND A MANIPULATOR, and I'm happy to be able to say: I VOTE TO EVICT BEN, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

But on a serious note, it's been a blast getting to know you Mud :) And I hope you're still around on skype so I can continue to bully and harass you :P
