This was my first elimination event, I just started a little over 2 months ago and had no idea what I was getting into.
It was pure chaos in the beginning but once we got our Discord and leadership sorted it was a blast.
The thrill of each push before the tick to keep not only ourselves but our allies up was one of the best gaming moments I have had in a long time.
Shoutout to KCB who kept all of us babies motivated and also gave me my first Armalite which I feel I did honest by her getting 166 attacks in during the event.
Cheers Lizards!
What a run, from being zero’d 3 times and coming back to out pushing and everyone pulling together on the pushes.
From the leadership team guiding us newer players and experienced players keeping chat as calm as they could when things were starting to turn.
From late nights and early mornings and jumping in/out all day during work.
From spending hours and hours in hospital with maxed C/D’s and flying to all the countries to turtle with low stats.
I came away with 182 hits and loads of brilliant memories and loads if knowledge.
To everyone who participated on our team, brilliant job. I’ll certainly be more prepared next time.
Go the Reptilians.
Ape stronger together
HELL YEAH ELECTRIC LIZARDS BABY
WE MAY BE SHAFTLESS BUT WE NEVER GIVE UP
Great fun fight along you guys trolls and all it makes it a unique elim experience 4th again for me oh well gives me a reason to come back and do it all again next year
great team to be a part of for my first properly active elims, solid efforts all round, hope to see you all in the next one
Fantastic team to be a part of - thanks!
Worth a particular shout-out to KCB. Literally no idea how she does/did it. Also thanks for the 10+ hours of completely silent voice chats! <3 🤣
It was fun while it lasted.
C u guys next year hehe
WHAT A WEEK.
This was my first time participating in Elims, and I could not have asked for a better experience … well, maybe winning, but BESIDES THAT, this has been so much fun, despite the long hours, lack of sleep, and mountain of work I need to catch up on.
Thank you to Star and Kwack in particular for the monumental efforts you’ve made this week, but none of this could have been done without Fidel, CAV and Brad as well.
Anyone who spends a little time with me knows I love to yap, and yet not even I could have kept up with the sheer volume and consistency of messages from our push captains. Thank you forever for the insane amount of time you spent relaying orders, often with little notice as the sands shifted around us. Forever in awe of your work.
Every team has amazing members, but I am of course insanely biased towards every single one of our danger noodles that showed up and poured every ounce of energy they could into moving us forward, one ticket at a time. We spent a lot of time fighting back from the bottom of the list, and I promise not one second of the time you spent fighting as hard as you could went unnoticed or unappreciated. While we would have loved to take you to the top 3, I could not be more proud of what we have achieved.
... I am not sorry about not seeing croc tiddies in chat daily though, ya bunch of menaces.
I am particularly impressed by our smaller members, who not only embraced the challenge of doing Elims with few stats, but did it with such great spirits, even when they were being sat on by behemoths.
Thank you to those who supported us throughout this journey, your trust and friendship is gratefully received, and I hope I get the chance to work with you again in future years.
Finally, before I get mushy, have some of the memes shared throughout the week.

Well… 4th place. Not the result we dreamed of, but honestly, I’m proud of what this team did.
We fought valiantly from beginning to end. There were good calls, bad calls, unexpected situations, people disappearing at the worst possible moment , and probably more chaos than any leadership team would ever ask for.
But through all of that, Reptilians kept pushing.
A huge thank you to our leader Starkiller, and to all co-leaders and leadership team who kept everything moving when things got messy. Leadership can make the plan, but a plan is nothing without people willing to execute it, and many of you kept showing up and pushing when it mattered.
Also, respect to everyone who contributed behind the scenes:
- Armory — keeping the war machine supplied.
- Discord — keeping communication alive when everything was happening at once.
- Forum — keeping information, discussions, and coordination organized.
- Intel & Strategy — watching, thinking, adapting.
- Every fighter — every attack, every target, every push counted.
This was my second Elimination, and I learned something very different this time. In the first year, I cared way too much about the scoreboard. First place felt amazing, last place felt terrible. This year, I realized that Elimination is much more about leadership, coordination, trust, and whether people can move together when the pressure is on.
And yes… not everyone follows orders.
Sometimes that creates problems.
Sometimes it creates unexpected opportunities.
And honestly, that's part of what makes this event fun.
4th place doesn't erase the fight.
We entered as Reptilians.
We fought as Reptilians.
And we finished together.
Cold blood. Clear minds. One Nest. 🐍
GG everyone. Proud to have fought alongside you all. ❤️
I had a blast with y’all this year thanks for the fun times
had fun hitting overseas, gg
was a fun experience for my first elimination ^_^
Go Reptiles :) See you guys around!
Would've never thought I'd get to experience such a rush from a text game when first starting Torn 3 months ago, but now I'll be cold-blooded for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Reptilians!
Tried my best myself. Every time I got hits instant hospital.
Sad to see some who didn't try any hits
My first elim and the fun I had with you all made me want to come back next year, despite my friends warning me that, as a low-stat guy, I’d probably end up in the hospital. If it were possible, I’d have loved to choose you to win it with u all together next time, but sadly, that won’t be possible.
And thank you KCB for this, which I got from the discord spin on day1: 19:01:54 - 10/09/26 KillerCareBear sent a Jackhammer (Expose) to you.
I would’ve loved for us to go further, but the fight we put up was 🔥 for me! I wanted to contribute more, but real-life commitments just didn’t give me those extra few hours to do so. Huge thanks to the team, the leaders, captains, and helpers for getting us this far. 💚
Great times team! I felt like this team really got along (minus the obvious and normal trolls)... I mean I know all teams have camaraderie, but I felt this one more than previous teams.
I did want to express one that got me in my feels. We were doing pushes and needed the hits and it was my daughter's birthday party at my house. I was trying to get hits in between setup and the party and a bunch of the team told me to leave it and be with my little one. We needed everyone on deck and I know we all say IRL is more important (and obviously it is, but I had blinders on trying to juggle both)... that was really appreciated at the time.
Thanks Reptilians! Hisses and Croc Titties 4eva.
Ty for the great elims, hope we fight together in the next one. But that time we are gonna try and win it all xD 🦎
First eliminations ever and I got to be apart of one of the best teams randomly put together. So many emotions from excitement to pure upset and back to geeking out. Mood swings were abundant. I love wars and elims opened up a whole new playstyle. Trust leadership on repeat, and it was the best record on repeat to be played. Starkiller was def on his toes and a great job he and his crew had done. Much respect. I will be back next year.
Until we meet again, Iso out!
The battle of the warm rock!
