Shalom, CAT members and other people. You probably don't know, but shalom means "peace," and is used frequently by those in Israel when greeting each other. I find this to be the term for this event.

Anyways, as you all know, I, former Commanding General arcticglalian of the Combat Assault Team, resigned my position and left the group on 1/15/14. Before I get into why I left, I will first provide you with a brief history of my time in CAT, so you can become familiar with who I am and how I was associated with the clan first.

It all started around the springtime of 2012. I had just given up on my group STAR Forces, which is a worthless cause now. Anyways, the Combat Assault Team and the Roblox Infantry Unit, former allies, had become enemies and taken their own separate paths. I chose CAT, as I knew the leader well. I also wasn't a big fan of RIU's leader, twinkie424.

Anyways, I was an Officer in CAT at the time. This rank was automatically given to any allied clan leader. My clan STAR Forces was allied with CAT, so this rank was immediately given to me. After a long talk with Joshua, I convinced him to promote me to General, promising that I'd dedicate myself to CAT and work hard for the group. Recently I had sold Joshua several forts and places, and I promised to make them for free if I was given the rank. As soon as he gave me it, I started working on several projects to renovate CAT. That summer of 2012, I made the CAT Pentagon, with the help of dog59457. I also made an updated version of the current fort Roswell, creating Roswell II. This progression slowed as school came, but I didn't stop there. I made three new meeting centers to replace the old one, a new rally point, and many other places.

After a while, when ROBLOX enabled groups to have a maximum of 19 ranks, Joshua created General ranks with stars (1-5 star generals). I was pretty mad about this, since there were several Leaders (Leader was the 2nd highest rank of the group at the time) who were extremely inactive and did little. Because of this, I complained to Joshua and also pointed out how much I had helped CAT. In addition I explained to him that creating the new ranks only put more space and time for me to get Leader, which was unfair those in the past who didn't have to go through the General star ranks. After talking to him for a while with the support of other high ranks, I convinced him to promote me to 2 Star General. Because of all my building contributions, I was given the title of Head of Tech after casually asking it from Joshua. I also made several of CAT's previous logos including the current one (as of 1/17/14).

I don't want to go into detail about everything that I've done in CAT, as that'll take forever. Anyways, fast forwarding to the summer of 2013, I helped make Fort Roswell III, along with beastyfootballtim and slay357. I also worked my way up the ranks to Leader, which was changed to Commanding General later on, and was given the title of Second in Command.

Throughout my time in CAT, I view myself as a big influence. I was able to convince many high ranks in meetings and pursue them to vote for certain causes, and I contributed greatly to the community, with all my building skills. Anyways, you could say that I really bumped up CAT's progress.

Skipping to the present, many things have happened in the resent past. After directing the ad campaign and increasing the clan's size to over 400% larger, we have an average of over 30 members at daily events. I've made many CAT places, including three meeting centers as I mentioned before, a special operations training center, fort Roswell II, a winter edition of Fort Roswell II, fort Roswell III, the Pentagon, the Rally Point, and the Reactor Core (built, not scripted). There's probably a couple others but I forgot. Anyways, the point is that in my 2 years in this clan, I've contributed a lot, progression wise.

In my time I also changed the CAT ranks, helped remove many unnecessary subdivisions, and helped for forming the infrastructure and rules section of the group. I've helped develop a credit system where CAT members can log their earned points from CAT events or projects for credits, in order to receive promotions. This system is similar to WIJ or RAT's promotion system. Big thanks to Rater193, by the way, as you did 99% of it, and all I did was build it.

Well, it probably seems that all I'm doing is bragging about what I've done in CAT. The point of what I've written isn't to brag nor boast, it's just to leave a legacy.

I don't really want to go into detail about why I left CAT, but I'll give a brief summary of it. As one of my good friends/fellow high ranks Commanding General BeingLiberal, aka LordCoppper/Galaxy201 stated, this topic is highly debatable.

Joshua accused me of ODing CAT Lieutenant Valou02. After talking to her on Skype, I began expanding my range of contact with her, we began talking often. Joshua did have a chat log in which he asks her if she likes me more than a friend, in which she replied "Mhm." In her defense, she doesn't speak that great English, since it's her second language, so she might've not understood the question. After all, she says "Mhm" a lot. Anyways, since she said "Mhm," Joshua immediately assumed that we were ODing. I never said that I liked her more than a friend back. Also, keep in mind that there's no direct proof of us ODing either...

Moving on, Joshua automatically thought we were ODing, so he held a secret meeting with the high ranks excluding me, and they voted to take action, which was a demotion to a General rank. I was pretty mad at this, and I still am now. There is absolutely no proof that we were ODing at all, it's just an inference, and in my opinion, a misunderstanding.

Anyways, I came to the conclusion that I would resign my position as Commanding General and leave the Combat Assault Team. This would be the first time I actually left for two years since I first joined. To be honest, I wasn't truly shocked, as I knew some day would come like this. After all, situations like these don't last forever.

I remember about a year and a half ago, I was talking to Joshua. I jokingly told him that nothing lasts forever, and that one day I wouldn't be in CAT anymore, and we wouldn't be friends anymore. I laughed to myself, never knowing it would actually happen.

Anyways, I feel that it is my time to leave. I'd like to work more on The Grand Imperium and Reaper Industries in order to improve my building and graphic skills, and have more free time on Studio, PDN, and Photoshop, instead of having constant projects for CAT. My progress had been slowing down these last few months, and Fort Roswell III took almost half a year to complete. Honestly, I was losing enthusiasm and interest.

All in all, my time in CAT has been excellent. I met many cool, interesting, and overall extraordinary people. Please note that I'm NOT CREATING A REBELLION of any kind in CAT, as I have no intention to do so - that would be a complete waste of time and resources, and would have no purpose whatsoever. My friend SirBenn/Bionicus was pretty angry about this punishment, so he leaked Joshua and tried to create a rebellion, although both of these failed.

I have no grudge against CAT or its members. I'm still a little mad at Joshua for what he did, but I can understand where he was coming from. He was only trying to protect his clan, and he is the Commander too. Anyways, here are some farewell addresses to friends/team members I personally knew in CAT. If you aren't mentioned here, please don't be angry, it's 12:26 AM and I'm exhausted.

To Joshua: You have to work on creating a stable voting and decision making system in CAT. For example, when I complained about the NAF and how it was a useless division of CAT, you wouldn't do much, and said I had to talk to the NAF director, who would never agree to shutting it down. However, once I finally convinced you, you told everyone the reasons for shutting it down, and said exactly what I said before. Despite the NAF director disagreeing, you shut it down without hesitation. It seems to be that there's more direct power being the Commander. Therefore, I think you should work on being more fair and developing an efficient council/judge system where issues can be decided without the imbalances of power. Also, CAT's wars are a bit unorganized. There are some loopholes in our war terms that I've noticed. Also, you should really learn how to build/graphic design, or at least develop some type of skill to earn more robux to fund CAT. We can't rely on donations forever. After talking about the negative things, I have to say that you're an exceptional leader. You're mentally stable, unlike some people, and very mature. I know that you care a lot about CAT and only want what's best for the clan. Keep up the good work, but keep in mind what I told you before about CAT's weak points.

To Slay: Be sure to keep Joshua under control :P You're a really cool friend, and pretty chill. You should work with Joshua to revive the Elite Forces, and reform the Tech Division, since it's pretty inactive. We'll still talk on Skype and stuff, although I won't be in any CAT events anymore. Keep up the great work in he tech division, and keep working on that EBR entry, it's looking pretty good. Have fun in that igloo up in Canada, in that pigstye you live in.

To Beasty: You're pretty cool too, just be sure to keep Joshua in line also. Keep up the good work with building, and have fun joining the marines you always talk about doing, although I doubt you'll ever join. I know you're quitting soon, and CAT will dearly miss you. Anyways, we'll still be able to talk on Skype and stuff too.

To BeingLiberal/Galaxy201/LordCopper: You're a really hilarious guy, although you do have to gain some weight. I get sick looking at your freakishly skinny body. And stop lying about your height, you're 5'11, not 6'1 or whatever you always say. Anyways keep up the good work with CAT. I can see your leadership skills from RNW coming into play with CAT, with all the organization that gets put into the creation of the CBP division and war terms. I'll be in contact with you too.

To Jack4111: EL's a bad clan dude, but I can tell you care about it lol. I was pretty surprised when you were a General in it, never thought it would happen. Anyways, if you become more mature you can probably progress in CAT faster. Good job with the RCL skills, though. That KDR training I saw a couple weeks ago was a real eye-opener.

To rater193: Rater, you're a really cool guy. Work hard and make it to the place you want to go to, I won't mention it here on the forums since it's a little private. Go to college and make your parents proud, get that damn degree. You have to get off your butt, stop fixing car engines and mowing lawns, and put your passion of coding to the test. You're a truly talented scripter and you're slow to anger and great with patience. I can still remember all the times the Reactor Core screwed up, but you never lost your temper. Keep up the good work, and get that degree.

To OMG/Sage: Stop being annoying and maybe I'll unblock you from Skype >_>

To Cole/Tim: You're also a pretty cool guy, although I think you're too sensitive. You get hurt easily a lot sometimes and you post really emotional crap on FB that nobody really wants to know. Just believe in yourself and you can do it. Don't take any offense to what I said to you on Skype or anything, lol, you know I was just really immature. I didn't mean any of it, and I mean it.

To Enth: Ah, Enth. You're like this one quiet Asian kid in my class who gets straight A's. Nobody really messes with him, and he's pretty low key and chill. However, you're a pretty good swordfighter and leader. Keep up the good work, you can easily get promoted to General and then onto CG.

To Zorthe/Isaac: Isaac, you're pretty cool to talk to, lol. It's interesting to talk about sports and basketball shoes with you, and Nike sock and all that crap. Anyways, have fun wherever you went, since I know you quit. Keep it coolio.

To Shawnyg: Work on your scripting skills, and I'm sure you can be as great of a scripter as Rater. I know he's a lot older than you, but you've got potential. Keep up the good work, man.

To TeamCrisis: You should really call your (I can't say it, so I'll say female friend) during Winter Break. I mean, who the hell doesn't call them for the whole 2 weeks........... anyways, I'm 110% sure you're going to be an Officer soon. You're ready for it, you just need the credits.

To anyone I missed: Sorry, I can be stupid, lol. Feel free to remind me if you want, although this is going to be my official forum. As I said before, it's pretty late, and I have to get to bed soon, since I have a big day tomorrow.

Anyways, I want to wish CAT and all its members good luck. Remember, patience is the key to success. Work hard and it'll pay off.

I would like to leave you with words of the famous McDonalds worker, minimalist, and mostly immature idiot arcticglalian, arguably the most perfect man in the multiuniverse..

"Are you tired of failing? The thing is, don't try, because trying is the first step towards failure."

"Cheap, fast, and easy."

Shalom.

You're free Arc.
You finally understand how things happened for the rest of us, how Joshua jumps to conclusions and makes punishments far too cruel.

I'm sorry that something like this happened to you.

Anyway, have fun...

Well, you know my stance at this as usual.

I've already talked about the situation with you before, and I don't think I need to make a long-term argument about it here..

A regretful mistake you made to leave over a demotion, however, a choice of yours..

These issues will be looked-over, as well..
