First of all, I am Brickster1324/Castellian.
Nobody else has any access to my profiles.
Nobody. That is that. I will be writing this post quickly, so pardon any spelling, grammatical mistakes, etc.
To start off... I am a busy guy. I am a full time student-athlete enrolled at a top university, competing division one in NCAAs. I am on the US National team for my sport, honor student, managing internships with large financial institutions and in a college fraternity.
However, I do re-visit this website because I truly love this game. The people I call my friends have no clue I play ROBLOX. The time I spend on ROBLOX is time I choose to take away from studying, socializing, training or working. I have to sacrifice more than a few hours of sunlight to play this game. It is hard to stay active, especially when you have to manage a busy life, but I do my best to find time.
Clans are the only thing keeping me attached to this game. On no other game can you experience the dynamics that we are blessed with, and yes, we do take what we have for granted. I have sacrificed and am willing to sacrifice for this game. I have been for years, and I do not regret it.
The Grand Imperium was my child, it was my everything. I started the Imperium from nothing, only a few friends and supporters, and I brought it to the top. I spent days straight, juggling between my rigorous college preparatory high school, my training and my international competing. I would fly out of the country or state every other weekend, worry about my athletic and future collegiate career, and still sacrifice time to lead my group.
As I grew older, my work overwhelmed me and I had to pass the group on. I just could not handle it. Please, bash me for my inactivity but for God's sake at least I was inactive for some bloody good reasons. I did whatever I could from an officer standpoint, I really did. Because I love TGI, I have poured so much of my energy into the Empire it has become an extension of my being.
The string of unfortunate events that followed my resignation stabbed me through the heart. To return to my Empire, my home, my people and see how it had degraded without me genuinely hurt. My sacrifice, to me, had seemed to have gone to waste. I returned to bring the Empire back, and succeeded, I was able to revive it. However, my other obligations began to consume more of my time and again, I was to pass on the group.
At this point, whenever I returned to my people, I felt like an alien. I had been treated by disrespect, my once great soldiers turned to fools, many of my once brave officers now complacent and lazy.
This hurt me so much.
Now, I feel almost no connection to my people. The values which were meant to be passed on and held by future generations seemed to have died with me.
TGI needs a strong leader, I made the mistake of passing it on the second time. Now, it's just a game of hot potato with the Imperium.
TGI deserves more than that. Maybe I'm not fit to lead due to my busy circumstances. But I bloody tried. I did everything I could in my summer, winter, spring, thanksgiving breaks to sacrifice time for TGI.
Why? Because I love it. The group was born to be excellent and it still is.
It just needs a leader who cares, a leader with a bloody spine.
It needs officers who care, who are proactive and can lift the group and serve the Emperor rather than weigh it down with complacency.
It needs soldiers who care. Soldiers who are willing to go the extra mile to respect and be respected.
It needs true Arcadians.
Maybe I shouldn't take back the Imperium. But I gave up so much for you people. I gave up too much to see it trashed by individuals with poor morals and weak hearts who call themselves Arcadians.
Step up, stop being cowards and just be great again.
It needs greatness, it needs leadership, it needs values. Values that the Imperium was founded upon. Values that should not have died with me but rather remained immortal.
Step the up to the damn plate and sacrifice just a little bit to call yourselves great again.
I've been hurt enough. Whether you decide to shame me, mock me, call me what you want, I don't care, just do something.
Remember where we started. If you weren't there, get cultured.
I sacrificed so much for you all. Please respect that just a little bit. |

I admit that touched me a little being a vet myself.
However.
Caste.
Stop throwing around platitudes. I would gladly serve you again ON THE CONDITION I hear some REAL plans being put out there and some REAL "values" quoted.
I want to know what you plan to do in TGI. And if you can do that.
I will do everything in my power to at least grant you a great deal of control over TGI's future if not emperor *as I still favor Dystra ATM* |

| I don't think the point of this document was to promote "Castellian for TGI Emperor" - it was more as to promoting bringing back old values (essentially 'arcadian culture') with The Grand Imperium and bringing in new leadership whom is capable of having time, arcadian culture, and the strength to be the leader TGI deserves. |

I agree you're an amazing leader. But you're inactive.
What are your plans to make TGI active? And if you are inactive who do you give the clan to? |

I'm still not entirely sure how this warrants being able to snatch a group out of someone's hands? Yes, you created it. However no one is entitled to getting back what they've given away.

| I don't want the group as much as wanting those who lead it to grow up and actually show some respect for the group, its history and its people. |

I would post a heartfelt speech about doing something.
But...
I'm in the military
I get deployed in February
I work from 0630 to 1700
I'm not really too leadership oriented anymore
My seriousness isn't what it used to be
My attention span with dealing with morons is really bad now
and...
TGI was fun and all, so I hope it isn't butchered like UCR or X-101st. |
