Hi,
This thread has been made to inform everyone of my resignation from the Roblox Assault Team. There is no tl;dr version, so if you don't feel like reading everything below you can continue doing whatever you're doing that doesn't involve reading this. Any unanswered questions in this resignation notice can be addressed to me via a Private Message.
I rejoined the Roblox Assault Team in mid-April due to a promise I had made to a very close friend of mine, ThePhantonHourglass/benblue/Meowmixxed. I had promised him that I would help him out whenever he requested my assistance and it so had happened that he did. I was given the rank of Marshal and asked to help supervise the warfare department, so that's exactly what I did. About three days later, I was asked to join the Immortals division to help ensure the division was active and prepared for the upcoming war. I wasn't very happy with the standards the Immortals division was upholding, neither did I like the fact that it used a copied testing/evaluation system from another clan's elite division (which to be quite honest is a complete failure); this resulted in me requesting ThePhantonHourGlass to reinstate the Flight of Liberation division and allow me to supervise it.
Permission was granted, and the Flight of Liberation was once again reestablished. The purpose of this division was to serve as a tactical recon team operating at both defensive and offensive operations. The goal was to launch at-least twenty-five on the Swampy Moon Outpost, unfortunately we were far from completing this goal due to the lack of communication between Vaktus and ThePhantonHourglass, which resulted in the war starting after everyone's spring break had concluded. The Flight of Liberation was only able to fully gather up a group of sixteen+ people around three times (which I find really disturbing), out of the three opportunities given to us we had accumulated two raid wins and one loss.
Just last week, I logged on to find out that the division was unexpectedly removed from my command and given to Malvus; who took the Flight of Liberation division and merged it with Immorals, making it no longer worthy of being called "elite". Overall, I believe that the Flight of Liberation division served it's purpose much better as a defensive squadron rather than an offensive squadron (SMO raids).
Now, onto the incident with AbsoluteLOL/SenselessBeing. A few days back, I had posted on a thread of his that involved a project which he is working on that's basically supposed to be a "better version of RCL" thus explaining why he calls it RCL 3.0. In my post, I laughed at his project and called him out for attempting to make his own version of RCL without knowing the true concept behind it or even the idea that RCL was intended to remain simple and uncomplicated. When I had made this remark, I was not in uniform, RAT was not my primary, and I had not represented RAT in any other way other than the fact that I was in the group.
I would like to point out that it's obvious this guy holds some grudge against me, particularly because I went on the scripters forum a month ago starting a huge troll thread which received plenty of responses from angered scripters. He has followed me on multiple RAT related threads and began to instigate arguments, including my SMO raiding protocol that consisted of basic tips that any person who's raided SMO at-least twice should already know. The thread was intended for the newer members of RAT, and more specifically the newer members of the clan community. AbsoluteLOL proceeded to call me an idiot and blame me for revealing some kind of "super strategic raiding masterplan" to our enemy, even though the enemy was already aware of most of the stuff I had posted considering these tips had been originally used by TGI during their war with VAK.
I've never seen AbsoluteLOL at a single raid on VAK, and judging by the posts he had made on my SMO Raiding Protocol thread it was obvious he hadn't visited SMO for quite some time since he was unable to realize that multiple key areas had been added to the map; yet he still had the audacity to call me an idiot and blame me for screwing us up.
Anyways, back to the event that had occurred a few days ago. SenselessBeing and I had ended up arguing for over 45 minutes on his RCL 3.0 thread, this resulted in his feelings being hurt and his ultimate decision to report me to the Admiral of Internal Affairs, tenniscat. I'm very disappointed to say this, but unfortunately an admiral that's supervised the same department ever since ColourTheory's era did a absolutely terrible job at handling the situation. I ended up receiving a two week suspension while AbsoluteLOL had been let off without even a warning.
A day later, CoffeFlux had made a thread about SenselessBeing's project encouraging people to post their input on it. I gave my opinion, which was "it's crap"; and figured I wouldn't have to give an explanation since I had already done so directly to SenselessBeing on the other thread which we had argued on. Apparently SenselessBeing was very unhappy to hear what he doesn't want to hear, so he had once again reported me, only this time to Councilium member Polymorphic; who is known to favor anyone that can script over any non-scripter.
My suspension was made permanent by Polymorphic, who stated that the reasoning behind his decision was simply because he believes that I only told SenselessBeing (scripter) his project was crap only to insult him and had no reasonable explanation behind it; which was untrue and proved that Polymorphic only payed attention to AbsoluteLOL's (scripter) version of the story and decided to base his punishment off of repulsive assumptions. I had infact stated why I believe the project is crap, however knowing Polymorphic being close friends with AbsoluteLOL and willing to do anything to save his butt-buddy he allowed logic fly straight through his skull.
To end this off, I would like to tell you all that I was given the option to petition my permanent suspension however I refused to do so. I refuse to affiliate myself with a clan that restricts my freedom of speech, treats SpC developers like they're some kind of gods, and is unable to get a single project done even though they have a team of at-least a dozen developers from the scripters forum. My original plan was to stay in the Roblox Assault Team when TRICON launches even though I had promised Dimste I would leave and focus primarily on TRICON, however these recent two events had really pushed me out.
Best of luck to all of you,
LordVydrak |

The insult you threw to the those of us who came to that conclusion based on your behaviors is appalling.
If you would set aside your egotism for a few moments you would realize that we pulled Senseless in the TS, which he is constantly on, to chastise him. However his reactions were not on the same level as yours, and you being the instigator naturally got a more severe punishment than a warning.
Also, I am not sure where the 'permanent' suspension came from. It was made pretty clear it was a 2-week suspension.
Also, don't attack someone who handled an easily biased situation objectively because you got justly punished for your actions.
Had you been even remotely active you would have heard of the decisions being made.
Tennis chastised Senseless over this matter, and given her personality, rather severely so.
The decision was made on the basis that we needed to see your reaction to a suspension. I would like to thank you for following up with that decision on CA's part and fulfilling Tennis' intuition on your reaction.
She very accurately predicted that as a direct result of your suspension you would most likely leave RAT.
Thank you for your continued service to RAT by leaving and taking a huge chunk of community issues with you. |

You see, now the real problem here, is that you joined someone else's clan, instead of making your own.
When you join *other*, people's clans, you're always at the mercy of those whoa re in charge, 100%, of the time. There is no exception. That being said, all the time you've invested in the group, your efforts, & everything else, all entirely at the mercy of a higher rank's judgement. if their judgment is poor, & unreasonable, then you loose all the time you put into that group, & you loose all the creative efforts & thought processes that went into said group, as well as become publicly shunned by the clan, due to the high rank's power over the lower ranks.
So ultimately, your time, your efforts, & everything you do, including social connections you've made, are at the mercy of 1 silly sod, that's all it takes, just 1, to have a bad day, exercise poor judgement, then cast you out.

"If you would set aside your egotism for a few moments you would realize that we pulled Senseless in the TS, which he is constantly on, to chastise him. However his reactions were not on the same level as yours, and you being the instigator naturally got a more severe punishment than a warning."
How do I realize something if I wasn't there? According to your logic, Abraham Lincoln should have realized he was going to be assassinated even though he wasn't there for the premeditated discussion the assassin had?
"Also, I am not sure where the 'permanent' suspension came from. It was made pretty clear it was a 2-week suspension."
Polymorphic.
"Had you been even remotely active you would have heard of the decisions being made."
So what you're trying to say here is, just because I am not an active participant of the TS3 community I am automatically classified as inactive?
"The decision was made on the basis that we needed to see your reaction to a suspension. I would like to thank you for following up with that decision on CA's part and fulfilling Tennis' intuition on your reaction.

If anyone else was in my position they would do the same thing as I would, resign. I don't have the time that I used to in order to work my way up, and I ABSOLUTELY refuse to work for a group that restricts my freedom of speech.

Never once has RAT claimed to provide a freedom of speech. If you are referring to a country you must remember that America isn't everywhere and that not every country provides that right to its citizenry.
I have been in your position many times. I was exiled from RAT twice by CT during his era. Once on a rather unjust decision quickly made by Stelation regarding how I handled a situation with another HR. The second was on false charges of being a VAK loyalist. Both times I remained in RAT (the second time I had to wait before they would trust me in the group) and both times I re-earned a high ranking position. The second of that time being Admiral.
If you believe that developers are favored then you should have brought that up with CA. It's kind of their job.
I stated active, not on the Teamspeak. It was of discussion on the Council wall, amongst PM's, on xfire, even some in game. It was quite honestly everywhere and it shouldn't have been.
The repeated provocation of members under a falsehood claim to safety from prosecution based on you not wearing a uniform is not okay. You claim that you refuse to work for a group that restricts your freedom of speech yet you are perfectly fine with trying to shut down Senseless for the things he wanted and attempted to say and express?
Are you seriously trying to tell me that your right to freedom of speech is superior to that of another? |

| Lord, this is not new, RAT has always favored "scripters" over others, but difference is colourtheory would disagree a lot about it |
