2013 - A year in Link's Survivor

Dec 30, 2013 by themissinglink
2013 was the first full year of Link's Survivor.  So I thought I would look back at it.

Full seasons of 2013:

Thailand: Winner - bluejays96
All Stars: Winner - Leli14
Japan: Winner - Renegade628
Egypt: Winner - Gaiaphage
Alaska: Winner - Chastain
BT - The Shifting Isles: Winner - dfalc7
Cape Three Points: Winner - Chastain
The Australian Outback: Winner - Zuelke
Vietnam: Winner - sicnarf2789
Second Chances: Winner - jxhn
Marquesas: Winner - Giraffez

That is 11 full seasons (plus special shout out to Galapagos which had it's last few rounds at the beginning of January with chilltownbb7 masterfully playing his way to victory).

We visited 11 different countries on 5 different continents.

132 different players competed in the 11 seasons.

11 full seasons produced 10 different winners because Chastain became the second 2 time winner of Link's Survivor, an achievement that deserves special recognition.

Egypt and Vietnam both produced unanimous winners thanks to the exquisite gameplay of Gaiaphage and cunning of Sicnarf.

The Link's Survivor Hall of Fame was created and has seen 14 individuals inducted, so far.

Now for the fun bit.  I thought I would celebrate all the wonderful achievements of 2013 by handing out some special awards.  Remember these are entirely for fun, so don't take them too seriously... (he says knowing people will...)

So without further ado:

The 2013 Link's Survivor Awards:

Most Improved Player - Bluejays96

The Best Floater of 2013 - Waggamuffin

Best Hidden Immunity Idol Play - manalord (Egypt)

Craziest Player - ilikebugs

Best Fight - jenbb8 vs ilikebugs

Sorest Loser - JoeyGraceffaGaming

Dumbest Move - Joeker repeatedly not playing Hidden Immunity Idols!

Best Move - The 3-2-1 Play to eliminate Peaceout14 in Second Chances

Best Rock Pulling Moment - lifer107

The Donosaurus_rex award for effort - donosaurus_rex

Biggest Disappointment - Skillzdatkillz and LoganWorm in All Stars

Funniest Moment - The "Lesson about Lies" thread in The Shifting Isles

And finally...

Best Player of 2013 - Chastain

So that has been a 100% serious look back at 2013.  There is a lot to look forward to for 2014.  We have Madagascar starting in January, followed by the season to end all seasons... Look forward to seeing you there!

Peace out!

I appreciate that ChilltownBB7

Ilikebugs was the best person to ever play in Survivor
Sent by Ilikebugs,Dec 30, 2013
To be fair Joeker it could also be called "Most Frustrating Player Award" but I decided Dumbest Move had a nice ring to it :P

I wish I had time to do group games again :/

None of these new players have any idea about my amazing gameplay haha

Hold on while I shoot myself in the face

Thanks for the award TheMissingLink

It's funny how I got most improved, when my placement has gone down every time I played. However, I understand why I got it and am very glad for the recognition :)

I'm so glad you take joy in my vote off. :D

Sent by manalord,Dec 30, 2013
Thank you sooo very much Link! I've played in different series and will play in many more in the future hopefully but Link's Survivor will always have the most special place in my heart. As far as group games go, it's my home and you made all that possible so thank you for the great honor. x3

Congrats everyone!

Because he begged me lol

lol begged might be an exaggeration skillzdatkillz you got the same message all the other big players got...

I just enjoyed it, almost all Idol plays never end up working out in the long term.

I got it like 3 times lol. That's pretty excessive
Sent by SkillzDatKillz,Dec 31, 2013
themissinglink  so true but Im pretty sure i was out the next vote anyway... I blame Alex and Ck's inactive team for all handing that win to Gaia on a silver plater......
Sent by manalord,Dec 31, 2013
SkillzDatKillz and you were too scared to say no, even though you knew you wouldn't be active? :S

Some people don't like to admit when something is their fault Leli14

I wasn't afraid to say no...I just joined and didn't do anything lol.

themissinglink

I'm admitting I didn't care what the hell went on that season because I didn't care lol. Sorry not sorry.
Sent by SkillzDatKillz,Dec 31, 2013
skillzdatkillz should I apply for your season with the same attitude then, since you begged me to...
Sent by themissinglink,Dec 31, 2013
themissinglink

If you want to, since I only sent it to you once. I'll send it to you 343534535 more times though and then I'll get halfway to the amount that you sent me
Sent by SkillzDatKillz,Dec 31, 2013
SkillzDatKillz Yeah exactly. Because you're too afraid to say no.

I don't even know why I'm arguing with you, your attitude just annoyed me, plus your comebacks are really bad :/ And why are you angry at Link for asking you more than once? He obviously think you were good and wanted you back, and you act like a little child when he says he was dissapointed in your performance when, as you said yourself, you didn't care even about the game...
Sent by Leli14,Dec 31, 2013
leli14

You started this for absolutely no reason. If all you want to do is bitch at stupid shit, I'd advice to take your shit elsewhere. You're too stupid to get anything through your thick skull and even more pathetic at picking battles that you can't win. And when I don't respond the first time, or the second time, a rational person would take a hint and realize I'm not interested. Thus why I joined and didn't do anything just to get the madness to stop. And idc if he was disappointed in my game...I was too! Why? BECAUSE I DIDNT DO ANYTHING!! I'm disappointed now but back then I didn't care about it enough. So step off this battle because you're acting like child picking fights where none were even existent to begin with
Sent by SkillzDatKillz,Dec 31, 2013
Leli14 won twice. You didn't even win once. So bye
Sent by ChilltownBB7,Dec 31, 2013
SkillzDatKillz

I see you took it to heart I said your comebacks sucked lol. I am sorry I got you so riled up, I was just annoyed with your attitude. Had I known you were one of those people who goes crazy if you say one small thing to them, I wouldn't have said anything, because you need time to understand.

Oh and jsyk there's a filter-page on Tengaged. If it really was that "bad"you could have used it, but instead you joined the game... Your logic doesn't make sense :S

But anyway, sorry I hurt your feelings. Sorry for the fight Link, I quite enjoyed reading your blog, I just had to respond to these messages.

(Plus we all know I would have gotten best player if Iceland had been in 2013 right Chastain ?) ;D

Everything was fine until the false accusations came. I apologize for my outburst, but like I said in my very first comment that I wish I tried to actually play the game, but back then I didn't care enough to try. And I don't filter people...I can handle my own :p

But anyways have a great new year and sorry again for the fight!
Sent by SkillzDatKillz,Dec 31, 2013
Lol

I mailed everyone once and then a group of select people I sent out personal invites to.  That is hardly excessive, it is possible you got the first one twice by mistake but it isn't like I was mailing you every hour begging you to play.  A rationale person would expect a response, not to just to be ignored and a rationale person would just say no if they didn't want to play and "end the madness".

So perhaps you should just get over yourself skillzdatkillz since I would never have begged anyone to be in a season.
Sent by themissinglink,Dec 31, 2013
And by randomly attacking, one of the nicest and most popular people on tengaged, after he questioned your logic you have shown that what a good thing it is you weren't a factor in the season.
Sent by themissinglink,Dec 31, 2013
Lmao Leli14 can you let me enjoy my moment please :p ? You can be the 2012 player of the year. :x
Sent by Chastain,Dec 31, 2013
I'm honestly trying not to interfere, but I just hate the character assassination. themissinglink doesn't "beg" anyone to be on his season. He has and always had a plethora of players to create the most star-studded casts you can come up with. The only reason he could've messaged you more than once is that because instead of assuming that you're disrespectful and indirect, he gave you the benefit of the doubt and probably thought that you didn't get the invite. And it's very appalling to see you repay him by being so rude.
Sent by Chastain,Dec 31, 2013
Yay my move won best move of 2013!

Thanks themissinglink for such a great year of Survivor. Playing once was nice, playing twice was nicer and winning was just fantastic. Looking forward to a great year to come!

Lmao get over yourself. You begged and you got caught in it. And I'm glad I was part of that season because it made it that much more shittier because I took it from someone else who probably would have made it better. At first I was upset that I didn't participate but now I'm completely satisfied in myself for not doing anything in that season. It obviously upsets you and that makes me feel even better that I caused you grief. Happy New Year!
Sent by SkillzDatKillz,Jan 1, 2014
And actually, you started all of this by tagging me in it. All you had to do was keep my name out of your mouth, but alas you couldn't thus triggering all of this. So next time, think twice before you make stupid remarks.
Sent by SkillzDatKillz,Jan 1, 2014
Lol

Clearly you are going to believe what you want.  Good luck with your season then, still only got the one applicant?
