ayyyyyyy lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Greetings all
I come to you today with a breadth of understanding you cannot possibly comprehend. I have been in this community since the beginning, and my legacy will be with it when it finally collapses: either under the weight of the stupidity of those members of the community who are permitted to act as they are presently doing, or under the impossibly heavy weight of time, which eventually brings all down at some point or other.
To be clear, I have not come to vindicate myself wholly: I am responsible, personally, for some of the damage done to this once prosperous collective of nations which fought amongst one another for the enjoyment this game surely provides. And, yes, I am prepared to make that responsibility clear. What I cannot do, however, is sit idly by whilst vermin who have no place in this community continue without hesitation to stand upon politicised positions, destroying other groups upon the basis of the most twisted and quite frankly obtuse logic, whilst other comparatively senior figures come out to openly support them.
I speak of course of Nerferdude16 (http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?id=19469388), of GeneralJon12 (http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?id=18287826), of Zombiepatrol (http://www.roblox.com/user.aspx?id=16370044) and of Avatarofjustice (http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?id=19334166).
Without one another these men would be relegated, as nature dictates, to a pathetic and backward position in the proverbial backbenches of the community - incapable of doing harm to large, un-politicised groups and only moving from the fringes at times of great crisis. They are the literal extreme of the community, who have been allowed status and influence on the basis solely of inaction by those of us who have had at varying times the opportunity to halt their murderous charge. I will explain this in detail later.
Firstly, it is reprehensible to say I do not care about this community: I do. Otherwise, I would not have so created it, nor would I have pledged so much time to it. I have found many great friends on this game, in large numbers, who have supported me in some cases for as long as 6 years. It is testimony to the wealth of words and spirit ROBLOX provides that I can say I have met some of these brilliant people in person, and from this can draw great cultural experiences which I will never relinquish.
Secondly, what we must make clear is this: none of my groups have ever supported, condoned or promoted any kind of extreme ideology. Where necessary, I created organisations for the promotion of nationalist (that is to say, "pro my group") propaganda, and these organisations in turn expanded, as is to be expected on a game where the influx of members is sufficient enough to warrant an expansion in the various departments assigned to the boosting of the morale of soldiers at the front. This is not to say that these organisations were not misused by corrupt officials - they were, at times, and those members were mercilessly punished for extravagances such as racism or anti-semitism. I fondly recall seeing several black avatars in Holy Rome and Allemand, a testament to the fact that our groups were open and accepting to anyone willing to fight for us. In addition, I can call for witness a good few Jewish members who will make it quite clear that I have on not a single occasion promoted any extreme ideology.
Thirdly, this is in abundance contrary to the figures I have aforementioned. They all state - barring Jon and Nerfer - quite clearly they adhere to extreme ideologies, in both cases on the left.
Now, what does this itself tell us? Primarily, that ROBLOX does not deal with so-called National Socialists in the same method by which it deals with Marxists and Communists, who are of a by and large far more violent and murderous ideology than any wannabe National Socialist could be! Secondly, it makes quite clear that these individuals are politically minded, that they exist upon this game for the promotion of their own, rancid ideologies, that they have that as their purpose and will maintain it throughout and without any kind of hesitation. This should be clear to all by now: these individuals are not here for the betterment of the community, they are here to destroy groups. This is why the community has fallen so far in its prowess, that a once thriving genre has become nothing but a backwater collection of non-entities, wandering the plains of existence until they either fall in upon themselves or are dismantled by all-powerful exterior forces whom are themselves influenced by individuals with a political motivation and who cannot possibly at any time be dealt with reasonably.
I have offered on five separate occasions peace to Nerferdude16 and GeneralJon12. Each time these offers have been rejected, and the personal attacks upon me levied even further, to the extent of sharing pictures of my father and I on a camping trip around as if they were some kind of measure that I was to be personally attacked. No action was taken by the admins. They are not interested in assisting their users, but rather, are intent upon maintaining their lofty position so long as the influx of money is unabated. And, who can blame them? When one can sit atop a golden throne without having to take action, is that not the essence of modern society? Has not laziness become the watchword of the day and the apparently imperial right of disinterest the mantra by which we exist? I do not blame the admins for this situation whatsoever. They are being ruthlessly manipulated by individuals who are prepared to report WW2 groups mercilessly, to attack without any kind of restraint individuals who try to create good, functioning groups - to attack them personally, to attack them without even the slightest pause for thought. This is what we have become: a community defined by those individuals most willing to spend their time destroying the work of others.
GeneralJon12 is not an inherently bad person. He has had serious personal attacks warranted against him, mostly by individuals from Panzer Lehr. I cannot say I do not feel pity for this man, because I do. He had a great deal to offer this community, as shown by his work in building up TGAA - an impressively organised group by all accounts, something the WW2 community should envy. That which is good must remain good, and not be put down simply because of bad mistakes by its leadership. Here I must say: were I able, I would go back to the point at which I was introduced to Jon and fix things from the outset. Because this cannot be done and because I expect he wishes to maintain the current course of things - that is to say, to destroy groups without any kind of measure of restraint, then I can only apologise, Jon. For everything - we could have forged something to outlast our own significance and built for those to come a community based upon the values of transparency, open fighting, no flaming, the punishment of politics and the refraining from personal attacks. Alas, you were attacked by Panzer Lehr personally - just as Nerfer was. I held no part in that action and I am proud to say I went to a great length to explain it to a man who was affected by it directly but without understanding. You may contact me personally if you wish for an explanation upon that front, naturally.
Zombie himself is not bad either - he is a relic of this community, just like me! A man who has stood the test of time and sticks with us today, even if he roleplays quite unabatedly. And what person could attack him for that? He brings quality and life to a collective of nations which has been so brutally dishonoured that I cannot attack him for it. I wish, again, he would speak to me and try to sort things, that we might fight equally and on good terms without politics, propaganda, attacks or lies. Alas, he too has been influenced by the worst criminals of this community.
Nerfer and Avatarofjustice are enormous liberal-lefties, Marxists, communists, etc. Nerfer was originally one of my loyal followers, but, after a schism, he turned against me wholeheartedly and without any kind of looking back: he has, since 2012, dedicated his existence to my personal harassment, and has used all of the organs at his disposal to attack me personally, be it on ROBLOX or outside of ROBLOX. He paid, certainly, for attacking Erik2811nl and Panzer Lehr. They chased him down, and for a time, he quit. But he has come back even more fanatical than before in his pursuit of groups, of people, of me. And he will not stop. Avatarofjustice is impossible to reason with on any account and this will always be the case. I have tried, personally, to talk to him: he is unwilling or perhaps unable to see anyone else's perspective and insists upon a permanent and direct war against me personally.
But how do we fix this? How do we build up our community to be free, fair, open, transparent - to be willing to fight without any kind of politics, abusing of admin, personal attacks, harassment, no reporting but dealing with issues that concern us directly and amongst each other? How can we possibly turn around and repair the damage that has been done at this point, when we have come so far, and lost so much?
I propose the following:
An international body with overarching powers above those nations which agree to participate in it, which concerns itself on with the nations which adhere to its doctrines of free, fair-play, of transparency, of dealing with issues directly, of removing politics, extremism, racism, discrimination and hatred, etc.
Those nations which become members of this collective will have the opportunity to voice their dissent, to make their problems clear, and those in positions of influence: that is to say, those who have the bigger groups, will be able to speak to an assembly of neutral persons who will offer to negotiate the issues at hand with the appreciations of those involved.
GeneralJon12 and Zombiepatrol will be offered participation in this collective, with no demands made upon them other than that they follow the established rules of the community, and that they engage with each other and with those other members of the community upon those lines.
Those who have damaged the community to a great extent (the other two individuals I mentioned earlier) will be declined any participation in the collective, and will be left to their own devices. Those individuals interested in dealing with these two appropriately, should bring this group to the attention of the administrators: http://www.roblox.com/groups/group.aspx?gid=2630602
with the clear indication that the group itself is dedicated to reporting ROBLOX groups which do not agree with the political machinations of the group holder.
This is how we rebuild what has been so gracelessly lost. That which has become weak in months can be made strong again in weeks, if only those who read this are willing and prepared to take part in what I have proposed, with the fullest understanding that we have only one chance to fix what has been broken. But once chance. All I ask for is your support. We can do this - as one. Or we will remain broken, and after us, comes nothing but ruination.
