1st place

Hello. I've been playing TFM since 2015 and during that time a lot of things have happened here. Sit comfortably, because I will tell you a story about everything from the beginning to the present, everything I still remember.


Chapter 1 - Beginning
I first joined the game on 31/05/2015. In fact, the first thing I noticed when I joined was how big is the chat for players! In other online games, it is sometimes even difficult to open a chat normally and write to others. But here I had a chat over a third of the screen. Thanks to that, I felt closer to other players from the very beginning.

I was lucky that a "fishing event" was running at this time. First one I was part of and in my opinion, it is one of the best events that completely drew me into the world of mice.

I spent the beginning, maybe a month, only on the basic game mode "transformice". Vanilla seemed too simple for me and I wanted to train my skills. I somehow didn't notice racing or bootcamp at all. It was gamemodes that I find strange and I didn't go there. Countless diverse maps and the CZ/SK community, which was very active at the time, didn't even allow me to try to find another online game. I just felt good here. I loved how peaceful the world was on Transformice.


Chapter 2 - #utility
Still in 2015, I found out that there is something like a #utility (which was very popular and I didn't find a moment when I wouldn't find any #utility room) thanks to my friends from the game. (At the time, I was convinced it was another official game mode. I had no idea what the modules were, how they were created, who was behind it... But believe that you will hear a lot more about the modules later in this story.)

Shortly after, I started playing only #utility because I liked communicating with other players and making new friends. It was a whole new way to spend time here. We played a lot of games with others. For example family, horrors, zoo, school, amusement park, etc... Even though the games were often repetitive, I still enjoyed them. We often played with someone new who gave the game a slightly new touch. Here my friend list started to fill up with names very quickly.

Later, in addition to playing games with others, I started making my own rooms, where I had only one goal. Have as many people in the room as possible who enjoy the fun. And I did well. Sometimes I had even more than 20 people in the room. We talked and played with various maps (I had my map sheet where I wrote down all the interesting maps I saw) and everyone was happy.

But I had no idea how much #utility would affect my life. Not only TFM life, but also the real one.


Chapter 3 - Greatest friendship
We are still in 2015. September at the beginning of the new school year is the point where everything has changed.

At this time, I was about level 60 and still didn't have divine mode. We just finished the game on #utility and I went afk. When I returned, we were only 3 players in the room. Me, my friend Bejrymka and her friend (for me an unknown player) named Meggynka. Bejrymka introduced us and then left. Only the two of us stayed in the room. After a while we started talking and became friends. Then we started meeting at TFM every day and came up with new #utility games. Like that we started spending all our free time together and we became best friends. Not just in the game, but this was my strongest friendship I've ever had.

We spent the next year together in every free time we had on #utility and we were still playing new games with the same fervor as in the year 2015. We both began to understand that it was not just a friendship, it was something more. We couldn't even imagine not seeing each other one day. Then, on the map @4000002, Meggynka finally told me that she likes me. That she likes me more than just a friend. It was evening and I was sleepy but this woke me up instantly. I was so happy because we finally started talking about our relationship.

Suddenly it was all over. At the beginning of 2017, due to a few problems that I will not discuss, Meggy had to move to a place where they did not have internet connection. The unimaginable has become a reality. We haven't seen each other in at least half a year!

That's what happened. Suddenly I was alone and I had nothing to do on Transformice, but I still hoped she would return soon. So I made a #utility room and give both of us admins so she could call me by the sound after changing the map. And I waited. I waited for hours, days, weeks... and then I waited for months. Whenever I had free time, I go to #utility, turned up the sounds to hear them, and went to do something else. (this is proof: [•] You have played for 383 days, 2 hours, 7 minutes and 2 seconds). Sometimes I played vanilla, because I was sometimes playing vanilla with her in 2016. But mostly I was afk. Until...

I was not at school due to illness and I spent time watching youtube. Suddenly I heard that sound I had been waiting for. I heard a clink after the room changed. After all those months! My heart started beating very fast. It was an unbelievable feeling. The sound came again. And again. It was clear that someone was changing rooms. I finally opened the transformice window and saw her. She was there with me in the room connected via a school computer. I was again so happy to see her! We got in touch on the messenger thanks to which we were finally able to communicate.


Chapter 4 - Vanilla
In the second half of 2017, suddenly I really want to play Transformice again. And I started playing vanilla. Probably due to the fact that most players played there and I already had some experience with this game mode. I also set my TFM goals. The first was to have level 100 and the second to collect 10000 firsts. At this time, I managed my skills the best and in three months I got over 6000 firsts. For the first time, I focused more on playing than on finding friends or playing with them.

I also had and still have a secondary goal. Get all the badges (I don't count the fur badges). I was fascinated by the events. Especially Lua events, which are made by the players themselves and were often very different from ordinary ones. I enjoyed figuring out how to finish these events and then helping others. It just seemed a pity that official events were often repeated (I think this game would need a big new event like Halloween or Fishing).

Before the summer holidays in 2018, Meggynka returned to Transformice and we started playing together again. This time half vanilla and half #utility as in the old days. Later we started meeting in real life! This year I even managed to meet the first of my goals, to have level 100. And the tribe "Hvezdo kupa" was created on 23/11/2018, which was for me, Meggynka and our friend.


Chapter 5 - Tribe
We have just reached the point where I started to influence the environment and, most importantly, I completely dug through my view of the game and how I will play it, forever. Everything that has happened so far (playing modules, organizing a #utility party, finding friends) only determined what would continue.

I set a new goal. Create the largest cz/sk tribe where players will have fun and where they will make new friends. I redesigned the whole tribe to suit my plan and started running a lot of contests using Lua games I found on the internet. The tribe began to gain members quickly and soon in 2019 became one of the largest tribes. It was amazing, I met a lot of great people every day and we had a lot of fun together in the tribe.

It didn't take long for me to start wondering how Lua games that I could run in a tribal house were actually created. I started studying the code of these games and eventually I made my own games just for my tribe.

I had my tribe; on vanilla I collected one first place after another; Meggy and I met in real life. This was a peak of my transformice career. Everything was perfect! Until.. everything went wrong.


Chapter 6 - The fall
It is said that the higher you get, the harder is fall. That's exactly what happened to me in mid-2019.

A group of very toxic people began to predominate in our server. In large numbers, they randomly cyberbullyed other players, spammed cafe, discord, rooms... There were trolls who could say even the most disgusting things just to annoy as many players as possible. Our server does not have a moderator or sentinel, so no one had to solve these problems. They also started noticing me because of my frequent playing and because of my tribe. But I just ignored them.

Suddenly something worse happened. My relationship with Meggynka ended. Mainly because of how far we lived... I was devastated. Unable to respond properly to toxic players, I just exploded and started arguing with them like never before. And the war began.


Chapter 7 - The war
I think the problems lasted until 2020. A ton of toxic players attacked me, my tribe and all tribal members every day. Every day, a new accounts of toxic players came into the tribe and started swearing to everyone. Some members began to fear and left the tribe. Over time, the Hvezdo kupa team began to track down enemy accounts and did not let them into the tribe. It all came to an end when one of the main toxic players created a new tribe that had a single goal. Get as many players from Hvezdo kupa as possible. He organized 2 competitions and the prize was fraises. Players who didn't know what was going on really started leaving. I remember when I went to Transformice and with the people in my tribe, we counted how many people crossed into the enemy tribe today. Once the 2 strawberry competitions ended, the enemy tribe was dissolved.

Hvezdo kupa was damaged by this war. A lot of players left and the new players didn't want to join a tribe that could cause them problems with the toxic community. However, I and other helpers continued to take care of the tribe, and it didn't take long for new players to join. Over time, the war was forgotten and the tribe became fully active and these days it is almost the last active cz/sk tribe. We have a lot of fun, original competitions, forum, leaderboards, discord and a lot more!


Chapter 8 - As everything went on
Because there was no moderator or sentinel, toxic players and trolls were always part of our community. The worst it was in 2019, 2020 and 2021, as a lot of players started to leave the game and fewer and fewer normal people remained. Today, most toxic players no longer play either, so newcomers aren't bombarded with a ton of hate messages and they stay here longer.

I and the rest of the team still take care of tribe to this day, inventing and creating new competitions and new ways to entertain others. My interest in Lua games also grew into creating modules. I even became a module member and I currently own two modules: #amongmice and #rivals. I love playing this game called Transformice and I hope that one day TFM will play more players again, there will be more players in our community, we will have moderator and sentinel and I will be able to do more competitions in my tribe, on my modules and on #utility.


Many thanks to everyone who has read my story to this point. I appreciate it and I hope that you all will have a lot of fun in this game. <3

2nd place

Hello! :) I’m Kamiityx2#4813 and I’ll tell you happy moments of my play games in Transformice.

2012-2013:
So it started when my friend that introduced me in game and it was in the summer 2012. I was trying to speak English back then, but I didnt speak it well and it wasn’t understandable :D I played in room *801. The old village and some utilities with someone called wolf or idk? It was 2012-2013. I somehow got addicted from the first enter and I kinda regret it now ;-; Oh yeah, I also played bootcamp and survivor, but there werent hotkeys so I was dragging planks and built.

2014-2016:
I met a friend and we had so much fun. We talked about memes and more + other friends. We also played in the music rooms, farmed bootcamps, vanilla cheese and events? We died and I dont remember what the event was but we told each other to /mort. Anyways I had a few months break, because I broke the pc and when I returned there was the server of my community created + Facebook wall and we spammed it haha. Later on in 2015-2016 I started playing in the international English with the hope of finding bulgarian friends and I found, of course. I had discovered about the community of the game more and I improved in the game. I was mainly in survivor and vanilla. I worked on stats, but not statpadder. I just wanted a higher level and complete all the survivor badges. After I did that I switched back to Bulgaria and had some fun there. I was playing with many friends and there were ups and downs, but I wont focus on the downs. We were making fashion shows, played in the music room, wrote crazy things :D Including voice calls, different tribes and more. I personally liked it, but I suddenly left the bulgarian community for english only.

2017-2019 (the fall):
In 2017 I started going into e2, en, br, tr, es, ar and moree servers.. I felt like I was that bored and I switched over the servers + I was playing still kinda seriously. I was still having fun w my friends and I grew around them. I started playing #fight in 2017 and I dont regret it. Its fun + I was making maps, played unotfm, discodance and more. But in 2018-2019 I started falling in the deep void so I got myself banned :D it was really depressing experience until early 2020.

2020-now:
In 2020 i played fashion shows, easypvp again, made maps, got more friends and my pc ofc started overheating after june so i dont have much to say because i sorta left the game in 2020-2021. I returned in november 2021 and i have been mostly in either village, utility, survivor or easypvp. I made new friends and we test our maps, talk shit, listen to music and more haha. Its not as fun as it was long ago tho cus there arent the music rooms and baffbot and other things, but we still find a way to do smth in the game!

3rd place

Hello Amaz_ing#9155! I heard that you are organizing a competition in which you can win prizes, telling our experience about Transformice, how do we find this game, how do we started playing, ect.. So I'm writting to you, of telling mine exprerience and expressing my opinion regarding this theme! I hope my story is enough good and lovely. Everything started from Atelier's website. One day as usuals ones, i was searching for entertaining and funny/cute games which including mice, while i was boring. Suddenly one advertising popped in my screen with colourful content, and i found it interesting. I was in my childhood around six to seven years old, and i said that, why dont i click it and start playing?? I didnt focused enough at the title of the game, that only interested to me is to just play it and have a good time. When i had already grew up, around my 11 years i had forgotten about this game, as the title too! Everyday i was wondering and overthinking.. ''What was the title of the game..?'' or ''How can I find this game again?'' but I had a great idea how i could refind it and start playing it as i used to do. As i said before, i searched ''funny/cute mice games'' and when i refound the game again, i literally started crying and screaming of hapiness. But this is just the start! I was playing as souris at the start but, when i created my first account at my 12, after i had already seen all theese mice with theese fancy furs, theese all fancy titles and theese amazing profiles and friendships i said that, ''Oh my god! now i am like theese cool and pretty mices with a lot of friends!'' hahah :3, and i started crying again of hapiness. my Registration date : 12/06/2019 and i will never forget this date, I'm still playing Transformice at my age of 16. I made alot of friends but alot of enemies too. I LOVE this game, and i will never leave it again. I hope you liked my story and found it entertaining and funny! <3
