Unlocked Version. One day, you will look back on your time on ROBLOX and despair of how much time you wasted. I did write paragraphs on this, but have removed them on second thought. For you will ignore me as I ignored those before me - and think pffft, maybe they wasted their time - but I'm doing something! This is perhaps one of the things you can only learn through experience. I was benefitted INRL from my choice of heir. That is all that I will say on the matter. This game has taken so much of my life and so it is only fair to recoup what I can from it. Nevertheless Steff is by no means a bad leader. He has a bad reputation because he led JC before - and led it well (Other than giving Corporals exile powers when he got back from a party utterly drunk...) - When I asked for it back he hesitated for a day and my veterans were up in arms against him until he gave it back. But he is a fun leader, he is not an extremely serious one which has led others clans to be so deadly boring, but he has the right balance and a background coming from the British Army. He knows his stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYhnlugh2nc You may think I have betrayed the clan by not returning it to Atomic, but the clan as it is now is no longer John's Cobras. It bears no more resemblance to the Empire I led than modern day Italy bears to the Roman Empire. When I returned from Africa, JC had been dead for 4 months under Atom. The new tech release was "Just around the corner" - just as it had been for ever month preceeding. The vast majority of my veterans had left or gone inactive and the people who remained in the HICOM were "Brotherhood". The brotherhood may have fought for me for many years, but they are not MY Veterans. They are independant, easily swayed either way. They know not what loyalty is. For me to give them back the group would be to pass it on to strangers. Although I love Atom as a brother, his companions I do not even like. The other choice to continue my legacy would have been Secula, a Scotsman born to be a leader, and who in ages past would have no doubt been a warrior. But I am not willing to pass on what trapped me for so long. Being the leader of John's Cobras consumes your life entirely, it changes who you are, it gives you some positive attributes which you could never get in any other walk of life, but it comes with too many sacrifices. I urge him to live life instead of staying here. Anyway, there is no longer any competition worthy of Secula to face. I could write a massive post about JC's history, all the eras we have been through and all the kak we went through together. But people would no longer believe it. My Veterans have their memories of the wars we fought, and that is all that matters. I must now mention those who have done so much for me. My brothers: Secula. Gave up HR in VAK to rejoin with me before I left for South Africa. Has abandoned all he has worked for many times to answer my calls. The finest leader ever to have served under me, although accompanied by a temper. If I had one person to pass on my legacy to, it would be you. Blast87. Unconditionally loyal. Didn't sleep for consecutive days working on buildings for me. The most hard working and clever young man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, INRL and online. Thank you for everything Blast, I can never repay what I owe you. The Battle League is proof that you can do anything when you set your mind to it. I expect great things from you in life. Exterity. You've given up everything for me more than once. A better HR I could not ask for. Believe in yourself as I believe in you and you will go further than you think possible. AtomicRXN. Independant from me although loyal. A pain and a friend. A lion concealed within a sheep. I don't need to write anything more, you know what we had.

But I love you all. Thank you for your service and loyalty. You are all special for standing with me through all these years against such odds. You don't belong with the crowd, you are better. You will all go far in life, of that I am sure. Thank you all for your service. I wish you all the best. John
