This is going to be long, but if you want to know the honest truth of me, and everything I've done on this account, then read on.
I am posting this on ATR because I feel that this would be safer to post here than RT and OT, even though this might be moved, but oh well, here we go.
So I'm going to start off when I created my acc. I created it at first for just a namesnipe, then never used it again. Well, until 2 months later after my main acc got terminated. I was soon to quit ROBLOX, but I couldn't, I was too addicted. My cousin finally motivated me to get BC, the one thing that brung me back was me trying to get fame. So I got OBC, and now... the bad part. I had a copied game as my game. It was a normal build to survive game like every other copiers stupid game. I put a normal minecraft thumbnail over it, and done. Actually, that was before I got OBC. My cousin was advertising for me, so I had at least 30 visits on it. But then, I found an uncopylocked version of the game 'Bloxlore', even though that is copied from a game called The Lost Souls, I took it. (After that I got OBC) So, I traded in something like 500 robux and started running ads for 500 tix and such. While doing so, I kept adding stuff to my Bloxlore game, which is now named 'AdventureBlox'. I replaced characters, fixed scripts that were broken, even added in 'Slenderman' (Slenderman was popular with the kiddos, so I had to add him), and had him as the face of the thumbnail. My game was quickly getting popular, so around 5k visits, I started selling my first game pass, the normal VIP. I added that into the game, advertised more, and now I was making some money. 20k visits, I couldn't believe it. But I needed more money to advertise, so added 2 more game passes. I was making serious money (100k lol), the game was at 50k visits. I built another little building, and added Jeff the Killer in there. Another thumbnail.
So now, I decided to "CREATE" another game. I took a basic free model FEAR base, with all the horror characters and such, added free model guns, vips, and all that. Ran ads, and that was becoming popular. More popular than my Adventureblox game. But my goal wasn't for it to get popular, my goal was to get it front page. And I ran ads for it more and more, it was getting so much place visits, but didn't quite reach front page. So from there, I made ANOTHER Slenderman based game (WHY DID I DO THAT ME, WHY)
I made a game called "Slender's Yard". Around that time, DeadZoneZackZak's battlefield game was getting popular, and he was taking map submissions. So I thought if I search up "deadzonezackzak", there would be some uncopylocked maps for him. And there was one, so I took that, added that into my game, added another free model house, quickly scripted some one brick guns, and then boom, finished. Advertised, and then went to sleep. When I woke up, IT HAD 400 PLAYERS. 3rd page. I was freaking out, I quickly added game passes, and kept trying to find Slender thumbnails for that game. It died down quickly though.
After all that, I was being noticed by a "popular person", his name is fastawsomeperson. He was messaging me things, and I was surprised that someone like him would message me. So we talked and stuff, and this is where I started leaning towards false titling..
Meeting him, I also met MEXICAN42, brandonmdog, DrRobloxian, etc. We would go in parties together, and talk about stuff. MEXICAN42 convinced me to false title, so I started doing that. I wanted to keep it somewhat similar to the game, so I would title it like 'DEFEAT THE ENDERDRAGON AND DIFFERENT BOSSES' and such things. That wasn't getting popular, so I was about to give up all that, and quit. One night, I was just wanting to give it one more push, so I ran 3 or 4 ads for 99k tix, woke up, I had 200 players on my game. Now that wasn't much, but I still continued to change thumbnails every few minutes. It started going up, and up, and up. I was at the point of 600 players, but not front page yet. And oh my, the money I was making. But anyways, it was getting later and later. I was so close to front page, on the 2nd page of popular.11 PM, I finally made it. First time ever being front page.. well except for that time in 2008 with an obby I made, but this was 2013. More players. And I stayed on the front page for 4 days straight with my false thumbnail.
In the inside, I knew it was wrong. I wasn't like them, I knew how to script intermediately, MEXICAN42 didn't know how to add admin to his place even. But greed was taken over me somewhat. I donated some, but that doesn't really matter, does it?
After my game finished it's front page run, a week later, we were all in a party together. MEXICAN42, SuddenRush12G, brandonmdog, DrRobloxian, and I. We were all trying to get front page with our false titled copied games, I was close to it. I was 3rd page. DrRobloxian, SuddenRush12G, and brandonmdog were front already, MEXICAN42 second. So what happened was, during the party, DrRobloxian took MEXICAN42's thumbnail as a joke. Mex was raging bad, brandon was telling us (his brother). Then... Mex was taking my thumbnail. I kept switching, but he kept taking it. My game went down in players, and at that point, I was done. Mex kept apologizing, or trying, but I was seriously done. I told them I was going to stop false titling. Soon, I left the party, removed them from my friends list, added back the true name and thumbnail, and just kept advertising every day. It never got to front page again since, but I was just happy still that I got players without false title. I then started to build my own games, but quickly lost motivation each time. That's why there are lots of unfinished games on my profile.
Then came the new game layout, with top earning. I was on front page of top earning. My game started getting popular again, more and more players. After a couple weeks, it went down, but I was okay. I was rich, super happy, popular (half for being hated). I was being more cheerful, but I still knew what it was like being a regular player. So I donated even more and such.
And it just goes on, and then it comes to 2 weeks before now. Or even more before 2 weeks. I was so mad at myself, I can't believe I started like this! I can't believe I am like this right now! My most popular game is a copied game, all my games are copied, I barely put work into them. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING AT ALL. I am so mad and everything about that. 1 or 2 months before, I started saying my games were terrible for that reason and I don't deserve fame.
You see, I wish that no one visited my game or I didn't sell game passes, cause now, I can't close them. There are still people who enjoy them, and they don't know about my history, and I don't want to close it for them, because they're going to ask me about those games and what happened, and I don't want to say all of everything, so I have to keep them up!
This is the honest truth, and since 3 weeks ago, I've been building a whole new game on an alt, and I'm losing and gaining motivation, but my motivation is to not make my copied games the popular ones, it's to make my future game the popular one. So yeah, that's all. If you actually read all this, wow I can't believe it, but now you know the truth. I really hope I don't lose respect or friendship from the people I respect, such as stickmasterluke or CloneTrooper1019, I'm sorry for what I've done, sorry to you all. I'm hoping my new game will make up for what I've done.
I had to get this story out, because it was killing me with this secret that most don't know about.
For those who tl;dr - I used to copy and false title, then started realizing what I'm doing... actually just read it lol. |
