Honestly
Cristi I fear I want to make this to respond to the blog you posted about a lot of people thinking that just because people are Spanish that they are for sure working together and while I agree with that statement in majority of situations, I also disagree it on a personal standpoint.
A lot of Spanish or Brazilian people will know that from Tengaged I actually worked with and were friends with a LOT of them (outside of the shops game whew) and I was always an advocate for those groups as I played on the .br and .es websites and made connections with many people through that. I will say when Tengaged closed down the only person from either of those groups that bothered to stay in touch was Ricardogv and the people I thought I was friends with turned out to really only use me for the designs I was able to get them on Tengaged. As you can see a lot of my early games I played closely with people like Vitor, Tusi, Peach, laura, etc. and I feel as though for a while I worked well with them because obviously I considered myself very close friends with them because of our previous relationships. However, when it came down to me vs. the Spanish it was never going to be me even against someone like you who from my understanding they did not even like coming onto this site they chose you.
I feel like my perception through my experience is that no matter how hard you try to work with SOME of the Spanish or Brazilians for example Gabs and Gabbes (idk which one is Brooke sorry) it is never enough because they will always think that because they are Spanish or because they are Brazilian you will never work with them over working with a person that speaks English. Even when people try to talk with a lot of you in your native language like I try to do with lbrice on WhatsApp to make it easier to communicate so it isn't always you guys having to put in that extra effort to talk to us you all seem to think it is just me being fake or me wanting something.
Idk personally I just feels like this sort of thing goes both way with you guys getting the more obvious end of it but there still being a bit of a double standard.

CLOCK, and I got attacked relentlessly for it yesterday…
I’m talking about Kovaze. On Tengaged.com I didn’t really try to integrate because I didn’t play that much and I wasn’t that interested in the site once .es closed, but when we started here, for example with you, I did try to build more relationships and I’m still open to that. You know that on some occasions I’ve supported your game 😊 The reason they save me before you isn’t because they choose a Spanish person first even if they dislike them. It’s because towards the end of Tengaged and after it closed, we interacted more and made peace with each other, so before starting Kovaze we already got along well. I’m speaking from how I genuinely feel because I really did try. For example, in the royales I tried to work with everyone and they only saw me as a piece to use and then throw away once they no longer needed me. I’m sorry that you’ve felt like people only wanted to use you or didn’t take you seriously. I appreciate the effort you make to even communicate in our language, and I know you’ve always been open to playing with everyone regardless of where they’re from. From my side, in my blog I wasn’t generalizing or saying that everyone was like that, but the truth is that unfortunately that’s what I’ve come across most of the time :(
Cristi And it is no shade or anything to you! This is just my personal experience as someone who has really tried to befriend and be close to both the Spanish and The Brazilians whether that be in or out of game. I have always and will always leave my door open to work with them and my messages are always open to talk to them!
