August 10th, 2013, my sister lost her 2 year battle with cancer. My family and I attended her funeral on August 15th.
I realize that some of you probably think that I'm just some kind of "fake" or I am just trying to get people to feel sorry for me. You people can leave now. This is for the people that actually care. Go down in the comments and say tl;dr, or whatever. This isn't for you inconsiderate jerks.
It was so sudden, and so unreal. I remember seeing her calm, peaceful, lifeless face... Something like that, you just can't forget. You carry it on for the rest of your life. After we buried her, I realized how sudden a life can leave this world for the other, and I've recently been spending all of mine on this game. I don't want to do this anymore. I want to live. Go outside, breathe in the fresh air. I realize I'm sounding like I don't care about anything I've done on this game anymore. That's not true. It's just not appealing to me anymore. My sister's death opened my eyes. Life is short. Her's was so short, it was cruel. But that's life and death. But at least now she can finally be at peace.
Instead of just up and leaving, I want to say some words and reflect about everything I've done here.
My brief career on ROBLOX started in 2008. One of my friends told me about ROBLOX, saying it was just like building Legos in real life. At the time, I was obsessed with Legos. I loved building things and seeing what I could make. So I made the account legoman3000000, and started playing with him. After I think about a week, he lost interest and quit. But I kept playing for a few months, mostly just going to war places and firing rockets and using those old slingshot tools. It was fun, it was simple. Back in '08, everything was simple. Afterwords, things got a bit boring so I moved on to other games or sports in real life.
A year later, I started playing ROBLOX again in '09. This time I joined under the account Beta365. I did the same things as before, got some of my real life friends involved with the game as well, and we'd play sometimes. Nothing too serious. Just going to Plane Wars and shooting each other down. But like in '08, things died down and I quit again.
In 2011, I made the account Anon688. Initially I did the same things as before, but this time, I met two guys named ina70 and Johnhugh. John, Ina and I are still good friends as of today. Me and Ina used to do everything together, We hung out for two years. Seems longer. Ina's like a brother to me. Anyways, I'm ranting on. Let me continue.
I'll skip some boring dramatic history, and skip to when I first got enveloped into ROBLOX's Colonial Community. I met a man named Stonewind, a guy who taught me half of what I know as a leader. He mentored me, and I still consider him as one of my oldest friends. His group had a meltdown, partly due to me having a disagreement with Stonewind's successor. (Eman's still the worst leader in the history of Colonial ROBLOX) I moved on and eventually decided I wanted to try my luck with leading. A friend of mine named Sincerus convinced me to make a Colonial group. I had the idea of a nation of Spanish heritage. This was how the best thing I've ever done on ROBLOX was born.
The Spanish Dominium is both my blessing and my curse. Because of it, I've met so many amazing people, one particular man I'm proud to call my greatest friend. No not friend, brother. When TSD was first founded, It was so easy, and fun. Getting it started was a bit challenging, I found a great, amazing guy to make us spectacular uniforms, and a couple of my friends from Stonewind's group volunteered to be the High Ranks. When you have a small group of about 50 to 70 people, you really are lucky. I remember I was able to individually get to know every single one of those soldiers. You can connect with them on a equal level. And you really starting feeling a bond between yourselves and them. They, in a way, become your family. And those members of my family are mostly still present today. That's what big, massive groups like EGB miss out on. They don't have connections like that with their men. And I'm so, so thankful to have had that experience with mine.
TSD also exposed me to a world of stress, pain, and suffering. Starting and maintaining groups like TSD is so difficult. It's like keeping your car crystal clean. You take it out for a drive, and it gets dirty. And you're forced to keep cleaning it constantly. But that's the kind of stress that comes with being a leader. If you go starting a new group, thinking that it's going to be all fun and games; then you've got another thing coming.
The little things like little fights that break out into an almost near civil war; are the things that make leading so stressful. You've got to handle other groups butting heads with your own, and you've got to keep your men happy. It has to be fun for them. But when trying to make it enjoyable for them, it starts to become less enjoyable for you. It's those little things that make leading so hard.
I'm done ranting about TSD. This next bit is for my greatest friend on this game, you know who you are:
You came into my world as a random guy I met. I didn't think anything of you at first. But once you started spending more time around me, I got to know you a bit better. I'm an introverted person. I don't like coming out of my comfort zone. You, you convinced me to do the opposite, and if you hadn't have done that, I wouldn't have been nearly as successful as I was. I owe so many things to you. I haven't paid half of them back. Some consider you a complete ***, but I know, that you're an amazing, great guy. Some people won't ever see that side of you, which is a shame. You helped me out of dark places too many times to count. With your random photos on imgur that made my cry with laughter, and your rediculous sense of humor, and your partial insanity. Those things like the hilarious Nick Cage profile pictures, or the lion that leaped and mauled a giraffe from a hundred feet, I'll carry with me forever. Good luck with anything you do in your life, I know you'll be the best at it.
PS- You're still the craziest man I ever met.
So, that basically sums everything up. I don't have much else to say. I'm going to go out and live for my sister, I'm proud of everything I've accomplished on this game. But it's time to wake up and go out in the real world.
Thank you all for everything.

I've known you since Z2008 brought me into Stone's CA. I've only talked to you a handful of times, but from what experience I have with you, I will say that you are one of the most honest leaders on this game. You don't lie to your men or give them excuses for you not being there; you admit your faults. To me, this makes you a very respectable person.
Also, I know what it's like to lose a sibling; that memory will never leave, but with time, the pain will slowly go away.
You have my sincerest gratitude for making my time in Colonial Roblox enjoyable and I wish you luck in your future ventures.
Addio, e buona fortuna., -Kildato |

Eh, you might not know me but I knew a guy name Descripto well. He brought me into TGSN when it was popular, and I flew up in the ranks fast. After a while I learned about you, Anon. People told me you were a great leader. Yesterday I went to TSD and weirdly, they were having a meeting. Because I was a TGSN Admiral, I was allowed to go in. (Strange right?) At that time I was not thinking of you, but when I sat down in the meeting room, Mrwilson was talking, (I ignored most of it) I saw a picture of you behind him. I don't know why (because I never knew you, pretty much the only time I met you was when I had to arrest you in Rizal, which is another story) but I thought of you like a better version of Descripto. Man, I like Descripto (Even know a lot of people don't) I thought of him as a great leader, better then SirTricorneHat, who is a pain and never respected me once I left TGNB when I was a Commodore. But back to you, you looked to me in my mind like I wish I met you when I could. Darn, I am still kicking my behind that you left, and I am sure a lot of people are sad that you did. Today I looked at your profile to learn more information about you. I saw that you quit. I am very sad about it. I want to meet you, but that won't happen, you're probably not even reading this. So instead of saying "Farewell" or "Good luck will come your way" I say this : "COME BACK SO I CAN MEET YOU!"

"Stop trying to get people to feel sorry for you with all these pitifull sob stories. " You're one inconsiderate, mean female dog.
I've been around the colonial clan world, and you're one of the few guys I respect. Good luck in life, buddy. Sorry about your loss. |
