Quartz

Quartz, also known as Q̴̜́u̶͠ͅà̵͙r̸̨̃t̶͖͝z̵͇͌; was one of the first ten contestants to play in the reboot of Bowser Party on Discord, competing in Season 1, he returned for Season 3 & was later considered and allowed into the first All-Star season. He competed in seasons 6, 7 & 8 before taking a break and returning to Season 11B. He then returned for Season 12, before taking another long break and coming back for Season 2-2.

Prior to the Series
Quartz and I had similarly met on Skype, and Quartz was no stranger to doing my ORGs. So it didn't come as a shock when Quartz was invited to Bowser Party and ultimately accepted in.

Bowser Party
Season 1:

Quartz first played in the first season of Bowser Party, but did not perform all that well here. He was in the first ever bottom two of the season, and after Episode 2 was voted out and received 9th place that season.

Season 3:

It was likely due to that first bust that Quartz wasn't in the second season, however he did decide to make a return for Season 3. He was placed on his first team ever, Team Fat Chicks; who managed to dominate their way to merge through immunity challenges. Quartz' game improved a lot this season, never making a single bottom two this season and winning an immunity challenge in Episode 11 with Ari, alongside winning the final immunity challenge and likely being the reason that the previous winner lost. However, Quartz placed 2nd, due to the jury. Regardless of it, he had a splendid run.

Season 5:

It wasn't a shocker that Quartz was accepted into All-Stars for his spectacular Season 3 run, and he was placed on the Heroic Hawks due to his shining grace. Too bad his team didn't view it like that, as Quartz was the first player voted out of the season, ultimately leaving him with 16th place just after a good run.

Season 6:

Quartz once again returned for Season 6, this time competing as a new character and on a new team, Team Badass Bitches. The Bitches managed to steamroll a lot of the other team, only ever losing two challenges in which Quartz was in neither of the bottom twos, so once again he made it to merge. As he did in Season 3, Quartz managed to not make a bottom two at all anytime he was up for elimination, and he managed to steamroll the final three challenges. This lead him into the jury, and it was what allowed Quartz to become Bowser Party's sixth winner on Discord, and the first ever veteran player of Bowser Party to win a season.

Season 7:

Quartz once again returned for Season 7, as a representative of Team Object Show Central. While Quartz did not steamroll much of the challenges, due to his team having a fairly mixed track record that left him the only remaining member of merge prior to the rejoin. Regardless of that, Quartz kept up his bottom two streak and did not make it to any until his elimination in Episode 12, which left him in a fairly comfy 6th place as the last Object Show Central member eliminated.

Season 8:

Quartz kept up his new streak in Season 8, being placed on Team Silvering Schoolfish. Unfortunately, a lot of things broke here for Quartz, like how he made the first bottom two this season due to not submitting, but being spared by a quitter. He was also in the first bottom two of his team, but managed to avoid elimination until they lost in the next episode, giving him his first pre-merge since Season 5, and 12th place as a whole.

Season 11B:

Quartz seemed to take another, more longer break, but returned for Season 11B, now being apart of Team C. While Team C managed better in the earlier half of the game, they did not fare much better once Team B dissolved and sadly for Quartz, he barely made it to the merge as he ended up taking 7th place as the last boot of his team and the pre-merge.

Season 12:

Quartz returned again for Season 12, being placed on an unknown team before later joining Team Sexual. Not much to comment here, but Quartz was eliminated with Semi in a tie for 15th/16th place.

Season 2-2:

Quartz' final appearance as of now was in the second season of Era 2. Arguably Quartz' worst season since his debut or Season 8, as he was the second voted out before later returning, and then being taken out right after his return, giving him 7th place.

Current Status and Overall Thoughts
Quartz has since not returned to the series, but is more than open to return in the future if he wants to.

As Quartz pointed out when I asked him about his time on the series, he tended to be someone who either flopped, or dominated. But for all of his low points, Quartz has set a lot of highs in my eyes. He was arguably one of the first major players to get a proper redemption run for Discord in Season 3, and the first veteran winner of the series for a reason. He had an extremely good gameplan back in the day, and while it's hard to say he sticks with it as much now, it doesn't make him legendary in my eyes.

Other ORGs
Quartz has played in a handful of my other ORGs as well, first competing surprisingly in Total Drama All-Stars Take 2, my first long term ORG. Where he competed as Dave, and actually made it all the way to the end of that season, getting 3rd as a whole. He also competed in Randomizer Rockstar, where he got 11th place.

 * When not counting the rejoin, Quartz has been booted as the second boot twice in a season, ironically the first season of the Eras he played in.
 * Quartz has received the same placement two times. Getting 16th in Season 5 & 12 (albeit by a tie), and 7th in Season 11B & 2-2 (due to a rejoin).
 * Quartz has competed as both Drake and Josh from the Nickelodeon show of the same name, where he won as one and got 6th as the other.
 * Quartz' total season count is the same as his first placement.
