Following many years of deficit, RAT finally came back with the help of financial backup from Berezaa with the success of his front page game Two Player Gun Factory Tycoon. It was this financial backup that paid for a heavily successful advertisement campaign that just about doubled RAT's population and ascended the group to the biggest group in the entirety of roblox.

Unbeknowest to most, behind closed doors, RAT has made many more transformations than just simply population growth. It is with this expansion, that the overall theme and environment of the group has radically changed to meet the ideas of a select few in the High Command. These changes to the group's atmosphere have shifted focus greatly into community and not any at all into military skill, public image or quality of ranks. This has lead to the ultimatum of RAT's current state.

Trainings are monotonous, repetitive and frankly uninteresting and those who attend are predominantly those who simply want to ascend further in the ranks. Palaestra has almost eliminated the human aspect of trainings, as 99% of the event is run solely by the system. The system decides who gets prestige, and how much they get with the exception of extra prestige (prestige added onto the calculated quota). Sure this eliminates bias somewhat, but it takes away the charm of what made RAT (and clans in general) popular in the first place. Trainings hosted subpar by Supervisors looking to get a rank up purely because they want the rank to gloat like a trophy, and the worst part is more often than not they are obliged and encouraged by the higher ranks to do so. These incompetant individuals are accepted into the Officers, justified by the promise of "education a new generation" where a majority of Officers aren't taught things.

In the High Command, they claim a family atmosphere in the group which would be FINE if it wasn't for the constant smack talking a majority of the High Command directs to those it dislikes and at times, towards eachother. It's impossible to make things run without human emotion, and dislike is a prominent human emotion. But you can't claim that your clan is a family and that bias is eliminated when so much bias and intolerance occurs within the group. Behind closed doors, it is the people who are liked most who get noticed. This isn't unique to RAT, but it is unique to RAT how they gloat about this not occuring. It's one thing to do it, it's another thing to deny it. It's ANOTHER thing to pride your group for being exempt of this.

Resources are being funnelled into the wrong things, and it's leading to a state of terrible ideas that waste time being put in. The Frostarian Times was surplus, and simply unuseful to the community but was implemented purely because it was interesting. Time and resources that could of been dedicated towards making more important things was wasted on things like the Frostarian Times and other community oriented things to support the claim that Frostaria is heavily community based.

RAT is DROWNING in bureacracy, and it is being abused heavily by those who find loopholes in whatever they can to undermine others. Politics in the upper echelons of the High Command run wild as it is completely a "dog-eat-dog" environment where specific individuals will actively work to put you out of power if you do not agree with their agenda and their doctrine. Effort is made to put this out of the sight of the general public, but if aware of the problem, one can see evidence of this if they look hard enough.

The way RAT condescends it's members ASTOUNDS me. Being in RAT and under Admiral is to be constantly undermined and treated like you're 12 years old, which is most likely why people of that age group excel and gain so much power. It's demeaning, demoralizing and frankly insulting. The teamspeak server for RAT has become so heavily moderated now that people in power will actively look for ways to ban you just to try and keep some sort of order in what is naturally designed to be a social environment. Moderation is exclusive to specific moderators, too. It doesn't matter WHAT you say, it matters who's listening because where some Admirals will laugh at you, others will ban you for the stupidest reasons.

I have no objection to any of these flaws, any of these problems or any of these issues. Frankly, they're not flaws, problems or issues objectively at all.

That is, they're only problems, issues and problems to groups that strive to be CLANS. Wins wars, prove superiority and achieve a #1 status.

It wouldn't be a problem if RAT was a social group, and not a clan.

With these additions like the Frostarian Times, the Communications Core in general.

RAT isn't a clan anymore really, it lost that title as the group lost it's core principles in the name of self sustainability. The original RAT is dead, but RAT is still alive.

RAT the clan is dead, but RAT the social group is alive.

This is the state of RAT today.

This had to have taken a ton of research and dedication. Kudos to you, and as a former Vindicator, Honors, Immortal Marshal up until early 2012, I fully support this statement.

I do agree with partial of this, as RAT's HICOM tends to abuse their state of powers and Poly is an ass if you are not his high rank.

Oh and there is biased opinions towards females in RAT which annoys me the most. They can deny it all they want, but it is true.

It's a shame clans can't be like they once were. Being able to join RAT just before D4 took over and stay for D4/CT's entire time as a leader was incredible.
