Well, I'd say that'll do.
tl;dr: I'm done, have a good life.
I joined ROBLOX in 2009, messed around with a myriad of games, and got into VAK in April of 2012. For two years, I served mainly that group, making my way up to Captain and then making an eventual decline from activity to where I stand today. Some of the groups and ranks I was in include (in no particular order):
VAK Captain / VAC Trainer Syndicate Family Elder EI Head of Architecture
TAG Tier III Guardsman RAT Recruit NFU Recruit Caesar's Legion [Altair's old one] Prime Legionary Tier III TSD Paladin TSG Auxiliary TCI [9] Officer NGRF Operator Level 0 Autrek Overlord [200+ members; failed] WIJ Enlist Kevlar [EminemIsWhite's era] Bulletproof Advocate Optyx [First Era] Recruit RUSF Recruit Chaos Raiders Recruit Haze Corporation [Can't remember name] Rank Three VOID [Current Era] Spawn [Old Era] Grunt RAID [deboot] Sentinal The Imperial Legion Recruit UAF Recruit Amber Nation Recruit Stratus Recruit Nexus Recon [?] The Zelgon Imperium Recruit Validus Imperium Legatus / Secret JC [Dark days, they were] Private Delta Operations [?]
I've collected a lot of uniforms, clothes, hats, and many other odd things over the years, including friends. A lot of my friend probably wonder why I'm qutting, so let me explain. During my recent break from this god-awful game, I realized that I had a lot of time invested in it. I spent hours upon hours upon hours doing work for a group that really never put much consideration into my recognition. I got a few nice ranks here and there, but other than that, I feel that my actions went unappreciated. A whole training center I slaved over for at least one-hundred hours for GustFlame was torn apart and used for scrap metal. Someone else's work sat in the gutted husk of what was a lot of time and effort for a single $5.00 payment for a month of BC. I've spent countless figures of cash that I really should've put towards other things. I had OBC for a whole year. I estimate I've wasted nearly $800 on this game alone, if not more. I've seen no return for that I simply lost interest in the game, the groups, and the bickering children that I dealt with on day-to-day basis.
I used to think that ROBLOX was a conduit for creative movement, but after learning the basics of Cinema 4D, I realized that ROBLOX was old, obsolete, and too restrictive for me to use it.
So, I decided that my time was up. I know I originally intended to play this game to my heart's content and work as a content designer for ROBLOX, but I realized there's so much more potential putting my hard work elsewhere and get more recognition, more payment, and more momentum into my future with.
A lot of people that I'd like to thank for the almost six years I spent here, three of which was devoted to groups. I might not remember everyone from my whole time, and this will be devoted to mainly group friends (in order of when I remembered them):
GustFlame: Rocking awesome dude, legitimately. You're staying on my STEAM list for sure. You gave me recognition when I didn't get it. I hope A-SOV takes off and goes as far as you want it to.
Obtention: You were also a great friend and you have a witty sense of vulgar comedy. I enjoyed hanging with you and also enjoyed how brash you were. You weren't afraid to tell people what was up. Best of luck in TRICON.
Tzakouza/ISOLAYTOR: You're a good friend and you always know when to ask if everything's alright. Best of luck with VOID.
Tenal: You're also staying on my friends list. You're really cool and the flame you get is really unwarranted.
Crakkity: I implore you to add me on STEAM, because you definitely deserve to be there. You're a great graphics artist, a witty orator and a great person. I really looked for respect from you, even through TGIvVAK. You were one of the people that made me want to join TGI.
EchoDuplication: Let people flame all you want, you're going places. Best of luck with TPA. Stay on my STEAM list too.
Rodgerdoger: Another really chill TGI. Even though we bashed heads sometimes, you really brought an intellectualism that I hadn't seen from TGI.
HeroOfBrine: Best of luck with A-SOV. You're a good friend and a funny person.
Sadcamp: My favorite Vaktovian Penguin. A good friend and a funny individual.
TravisGamer: My Airbreather's prettier than yours. You were a great leader and a good Vaktovian. You inspired me to become what I am today.
Oz0: The first person to legitimately make me interested in gunfighting. Beat me 20/0 all the time at SMO in my Army Corps days.
Pyromachinist: My favorite Arcadian. Your building skill knows no bounds.
Sasook: Wherever you intend to go with RAA, may God help us all.
BoostPowah: Congratulations on Pinch, you kept good records, you worshipped Shrek, and I wish I had the power to deal with Pinched members. But you gotta lay off it. It's old news.
Now for Vaktovians:
Vaktus: We barely talked, but I learned that you're an incredibly intellectual individual and a very great person all-around. I wish I had the drive to finish your projects, and I hope what I have done since I began has been sufficient enough for you. You need anything, let me know.
Gannex: You accepted me in to VAK, passed my application. You deserve to be the Supreme General, you work hard and serve Vaktovia undyingly. You're intellectual and as a VAC, you both terrified and inspired me to become what I am today. You thought of me as such a great person that I'm surprised you held such high regard for me. You let me know my legacy in VAK was actually worth it to some degree. I'm sorry I let you down.
solong66/Astrochemistry: My first General friend. We shared some laughs and made some pretty good duo-raids on clans that sucked. You're hilarious and really hard on yourself sometimes. You're one of the best gunfighters I know and I'm honestly going to miss watching you kill everyone at SMO.
Isadarias: I wish we didn't live in different timezones, because I really enjoyed fighting alongside you. You made a distinct impression on me all throughout my career in VAC and VAK, and I strived to be like you.
ProEvil123: Despite your inactivity, you were one of the first officers to have befriended me. You were really cool and your trainings were fun. Keep going, friend.
arcaneclone: If you ever read this, I just learned to jungle Elise and I'm pretty proud of myself for it. You were fun to talk to about Anime and other things, and you were a brilliant officer. If you ever sort out your problems, I know for a fact you'll make general. You also owe me 2,000 TIX because I beat you in that bet we made.
Gargix: Although I often disagreed with you, you were a friend and a companion at times when I needed them. Your work with EI was astounding and you went leagues further than halorabbit ever did. Thank you for making me the Head of Architecture, and I'm sorry I couldn't finish any projects for you on-time.
Hunter7777: You went 100/0 a lot and it always astounded me how intellectual you were. You are not only a soldier, but a powerful thinker and I always value your opinion.
xXxRaPPeRoxXx: You're one of my favorite officers. Extremely in-character and very intellectual. You build like nobody else and I was proud to make a video for your Ceremony place. It was hard work but it was really, really cool to talk to you and I know for a fact you'll succeed in life.
Karol2522: You believed in me at times when I thought nobody else did. You are a true friend and a deserving Vaktovian. I envied you when you were a lieutenant, and I'm so glad I got to serve with you for the longest time.
NitroTheExterminator: Really, man, you are pretty fun to hang with. You make the teamspeak alive and you give us all some much-needed stress relief. Charge on.
ttom25rocks: You are a great soldier, a great friend, and a funny person. Thank you so much for the opportunities to talk to you and serve with you. Opacor: Very, very well-rounded and an amazing scripter. I wish that I'd stayed on so you could teach me your ways.
LeonVX: You really, really deserve your rank and any other ones. You're a brilliant swordfighter and I can't believe how hard you make it look. You're going places, keep on the path.
Bektor: You're a cool person and you instilled fear and respect within me as a lower rank. I look up to you.
Domeboybeene: Amazingly coordinated and just what the doctor ordered. Both funny and loose, as well as strict and reserved. You make an excellent officer, better than I ever was.
LordEvolution: Very skilled and hilarious. I love talking with you on Teamspeak. You deserve RG, and you deserve your rank and all the others you get.
AzureSpirit: A great friend and an extremely gifted artist. You're really hard on yourself but I know you deserved Captain more than I did.
awesomealan1: You're hilarious on the teamspeak and a good friend to many people. I really, really enjoy people who can make me laugh, and you were a great example of someone I'd like to call a friend.
Bohdan77: You still owe me a scripted ring of fire. Oh, and, you're a great person and a great scripter, and an amazing gunfighter. I remember thinking that if we had you, we were near-invincible during TGI's flash-raids.
SWATCOLE: Really cool, and, despite your inactivity, you were a good friend and a good leader.
LadyHydevanStar: Funny and crazy, at the same time. Like a kitten. You're a good friend, just don't stab anyone, please. I mean it.
Exelios: Good friend and a dedicated soldier. Funny and talented. I enjoyed serving with you.
1leigh1: Another good friend, despite how little we talked. You are going places in VAK.
Jess106: You're really a friend I don't deserve. You're loyal and passionate and you express yourself so well. I am glad to call you friend, my Alien Airbreather compatriot.
CrimsonStatic: Great friend and quite funny. You were down-to-earth and concentrated in raids, and quite skilled if memory serves me right.
Sub25: Another old Airbreather compatriot. I will always be glad to call Airbreathers my friend.
look01: Deeply passionate and ardent about your beliefs, you often led the way an officer should. You were a friend to many, and I am glad to have called you friend.
Buff999: You wear an Airbreather proudly, my friend. Keep going, comrade.
Oppius: Tactical Advantages, my friend, use them well. It was a fun ride, wasn't it?
xerland: A dedicated friend and a good person. You're really cool. I enjoyed the time we spent talking.
koen523 and koen500: You guys have very similar names and I have the slightest inkling that you might be brothers or friends. You're both extremely well-rounded and good Vaktovians, through-and-through.
RV117: Not afraid to exercise your right to speak your mind, you were often a voice of reason to many, including me.
Roullette: You are way too hard on yourself. You are the most loyal and dedicated soldier I know.
NightBladeFighter: You're a Vaktovian, Through and through. Keep fighting, you're as loyal as Roullette and more.
Basketor: A true friend and a good fighter. A friend I don't deserve. Honestly. I'm sorry, for what it's worth.
Candiigal: A great friend, one I intend to talk to all the time. Don't bite me, though.

If your name wasn't listed, and it should have been, it was probably accidental.
All in all, I think I've had a good ride. I might come back in the future, I might not. I've got new life priorities that call to me far louder than VAK does right now. I've asked to be demoted to Corporal, so I might serve VAK again if I do come back.
"Do not weep over what it could have been; but instead celebrate what it already was."
And to all of you who don't think VAK has fun, you're sorely mistaken. VAK is the most fun I've had on this website since 2009. We're a family, and if you can't handle it, you're probably not going to understand.
So, stay strong, everyone. Thanks to anyone who's read through to the end.

1st page. And shockingly enough, it will be different without you in C&G, which is saddening.
Good luck in real life.

Farewell, I didn't know you too well, but during the few TGI raids we were in together you kept everyone on task, and every group needs a few of those people, and it saddens me that we lose one today. We went through VAC together, and Syndicate as well, good game my friend, and forever will we remember you. |
