I’m barely on Tengaged anymore and it’s crazy how March 23rd has been engraved in my brain as the day I joined. At the time, I was 14 years old and I had just watched BB10 a year prior and got addicted and wanted to find something online similar. And Tengaged popped up.
At the time there was only Casting, Rookies and Stars. No Survivor. No Hunger Games. No Duel (el oh el). Just the three basic games in their three basic iterations. No “fasting” or “frookies.” I was ADDICTED from day one. Little ole me was so excited about playing these games, earning T$ and karma and leveling up. I joined my first Stars (Stars 39) as a red level. I didn’t do so hot (I got 9th lol) but it was just hella exciting.
I made some great friends on here, many of them now long and gone. But those many late night Skype calls I’ll never forget, and I wish somehow I could track all of them down and talk to them and catch up. I know they’ll never see this but its the Original Amigos 4 life (@xAdam93x, Bonkers, SummerLilly, AlyKat!)
I don’t want this to be to drawn out, but Tengaged was a huge part of my teenage years. Here I am now, 24 years old, graduated from University last May, moved into my first apartment in January. Still working a pretty sh*tty job, but I’m working at least lol. I know randomize has gotten a lot of crap in recent years about the site, but I just want to thank him for creating something that’s truly amazing. I know a lot of crazy shit and crazy people are here now (lol, we need a lil crazy sometimes) but sometimes we just have to stop and think about how truly great Tengaged was and is. Especially for those of us who has been around for years.
I’m going back into hiding now! I may join a Stars game for the lolz in March 2020 but until then, I’m out! But if you wanna keep up with me don’t hesitate to follow me on IG and Twitter: @unusuallyeric
