Hello, members of RSF.
Today is the day that I announce my resignation from the Roblox Special Forces (RSF). While this may come as a shock to most of you, many things have led up to this moment and I can safely say that my presence in RSF is only further pulling us down to the depths of hell. While my contribution to RSF has been for the best, it always seems as if everything I’ve done is for nothing, and that truly I do not deserve to be assisting in a clan such as this.
I rejoined RSF earlier this year, coming from the experience of being a Great Admiral in RAT to using my experience as an RSF General a few years back as a guidance for what I could do for this clan. I knew the activity and overall productivity was dismal for the group, and coming from the dying era in RAT, I knew my experience could suffice in the revival of RSF. It was currently in the middle of many dramatic spews of the highcommand, while trying to pick itself up after fruitbox’s latest inactivity cycle.
Nevertheless, I persevered. I generally looked upon RSF negatively, but I decided it’s for the best that I rank up and see what I can do for this clan, more specifically fruitbox, considering it was the first clan I had bothered to join in 2010. Being promoted up to the rank of Major was no sweat; really, it was just up to me to attend trainings and I’d be promoted. The events were filled with people ranked Major or higher, with one or two lower ranks (albeit, this is why I was promoted - not much fish in the pond to choose from). While I had wished for a better experience while ranking up, I knew for a fact that joining RSF was not to enjoy myself, but rather to help it and fruitbox to move on. I only ever had one goal in mind - rid fruitbox of the toxic game that’s threatening his livelihood.
Nearing the rank of Major, I joined the High Rank Academy, the only way to advance to Colonel. I spent my whole time ranking up in RSF looking for things wrong with it, and looking for other ways I could fix them, and by far the High Rank Academy was near the top of my list. The inactivity in it was atrocious, and took me nearly a whole two months to complete, while the rest of my journey had only taken me days. It made sense to wait for highranks to be chosen, however this was not the way to do it. It was apparent I had immediate opposition against my views for making the clan better, primarily from those within the HRA that were trying to slow me down from my ultimate goal. Yet I proceeded.
Through my journey in the HRA, I met some incredible people along the way, who shared the same common goal as I had. Members such as Isanious went a long way to ensure I was made a highrank in RSF. While advancing in the HRA, I also got valuable experience with the community as a whole, and really did make heart-felt connections with some of RSF’s members. I was offered the chance to help lead the Arvorian Legion, one of the best things that I was able to go through ranking up. It allowed me to express the views I had to other members, seeing who was for and against them, while also assuring that I was doing the right thing. I was able to bond with members, and learned a valuable thing - being a highrank isn’t about knowing the protocol, it’s about being able to adapt to the community and work alongside it - something RSF’s highcommand could never establish. I figured out quickly that the highcommand was isolated in its little shell, only a few realizing that the community has a lot of promise for RSF.
After completing the HRA, I finally reached the rank of Colonel, however decided to play it safe. The last time I had attempted to rejoin RSF, I had expressed my views far too early and was taken the wrong way from a few people. I decided that, if I am to start anything major, I cannot try to do so right away. With this, I did what every Colonel does - hosted events, attend Royal Parliament meetings, etc. While It’s true everyone thought of me as a revolutionary, I knew now was not the time to establish those views without first doing my job. So there it was.
Into a few weeks of my rank as Colonel, fruitbox hosted a Royal Parliament meeting. While I cannot remember the entire details of it, a lot of it ended up in backlash from key highranks towards his leadership, viewing it as a ‘dictatorship’ among all else. I stayed mostly quiet, analyzing the attributes of the meeting and how I could act on it moving forward. I was then called upon by fruitbox to share my ideas, as the meeting had gone awry. I expressed my views as calmly as possible, and remarkably, fruitbox promoted me on the spot to Brigadier, which again caused an outcry. I was tasked to write up a list of ideas alongside SpinalCode to publish to the forums, seeking support for these changes we had planned. While we finished the document, it appeared as if fruitbox was against SpinalCode’s ideas, resulting in SpinalCode leaving RSF. I saw a lot of promise in the kid, however I figured I was one of the few left in the highcommand who could insinuate change.
A lot of people argued over my promotion to Brigadier, and I mostly ignored it, however I did not want to start off on the wrong foot. I went to highcommand members and asked them of their opinion of me, and they all stated I deserved the rank, but did not agree with how quickly I was promoted. I then challenged each of them to demote me back to Colonel, as I was completely fine with the rank, yet they all hesitated. I pushed forward.
At the rank of Brigadier, I made a huge amount of friends in RSF that I will forever remember to this day. The Arvorian Legion was a huge step in the right direction for my career in RSF, allowing me to make the connections I needed to get for supporting the changes I was soon to bring forward. At every parliament meeting, I’d be one of the few to freely express my ideas, however would not receive any backlash. I commented on all the injustices RSF had to offer, and overtime I could see my views on the matter were pushing some people to the breaking point. Some highcommand members left over the course of the previous months, but I did not falter. As a Brigadier, a lot of people, including myself, push for me to have a better say in Warfare. Knowing my experience, everyone realized I’d have relevant ideas for the clan and could bring us back on the map in terms of reputation. It was agreed upon that Legostarwars999 would be made General of Warfare, with me as his assistant. It was at this time I planned to insinuate change.
The first big thing I remember doing was openly disagreeing with RSF’s cowardice. Many clans had declared war on RSF over the last few years, with RSF simply ignoring every single declaration. I wanted to make a point with this, and vowed not to back down from a single fight. This is when Burn Legion declared war on us that the whole group was in hysterics. While they were seen as an easy opponent, we truly had nothing really to comment on. I diligently took on the war effort, with RSF being seen as the immediate victors after a 4-5 day war, resulting in an astonishing 10 raid wins from our side, and 1 raid win for the opposition. It truly gave RSF a ton of hope in which we were seen as some sort of a military threat.
Not much later did our first actual threat wish to compete with us. X-101st declared war on us sometime in the early summer months, and I was tasked, once again, to lead the war effort. While it was seen and highly acclaimed as an ‘unfun war,’ truly it connected us together and I saw it as a major step in the right direction, and I feel this is how I was highly noted as a highrank. It took some time to get the war started, and we showed that even in the lowest of times, we can come back to pull an amazing victory. We were down by 6 raid wins within the first 3 days of the war, and many highranks pushed me to back down. With the experience I had, I knew this could not be an option, so I raised my fist higher. Thanks to the perseverance of RSF as a clan, and the fact I as well as a few other people did not back down, we pulled back an amazing comeback, forcing X-101st to back down while having ourselves seen as the acclaimed victor across C&G - it was great, and ultimately resulted in my promotion to General from fruitbox himself.
It had been a month or two later, and GiganticGulian and Hinokami were hard at work at building our new base to replace Fort Clypeus, while also working on a promotion system. Reality soon set in that this could not be possible without ownership of the group, which got highranks questioning. Really, drama ensued and led to the instantaneous creation of a new RSF group to replace the current one. I quickly grabbed a hold of fruitbox, perhaps to see if this would change his mind on the ownership of RSF. I gained contact with him immediately, and he discussed that he would like for me to lead RSF. I decided to keep this information to myself, though ended up telling the majority of the highcommand our conversation. Not even 3 weeks later, it was determined that fruitbox would not be giving up the group any time soon.
With this new information in mind, I hosted one of the most debatable Parliament meetings we’ll have ever had, and it resulted in the unanimous decision to switch groups. We agreed we would not be backing down, and even if fruitbox does not give up the group, then it would be for the best anyways, though part of me still ached. I had joined RSF for the sole purpose of helping fruitbox let go. While this was a good step to get ourselves away from him, I couldn’t help thinking. Overall, the rebellion gained an astonishing 200 members within less than a week, and it’s heading in the right direction. So why would I leave now of all times?
I’m quitting for several reasons, which are mostly unimportant other than the main one. Ultimately, I joined this group for fruitbox, no one else. I had no intentions of ranking up to the rank I did, however it just so happened to fall in place so easily. I joined to help guide fruitbox away from RSF and Roblox in general, while also along the way giving valuable expertise to help better RSF as a clan. I’ve known him for years, and it distresses me seeing a young man with such potential allow himself to be wasted on this game - it irritates me. Leaving the group to create a new one has been for the best for RSF’s future. Sure, we’ll get a huge amount of technology, we’ll be the face of revived clans for all others to look upon in the future to come. So what’s holding me back?
RSF is going in the right direction, but fruitbox is not. I feel that quitting is for the best, not because I won’t be leading RSF (which never was the point), but because I really did believe I could help fruitbox. My intentions were to help fruitbox transition over leadership and just leave, while allowing myself to be seen as a fly on the dashboard, but my image has grown bigger than that in RSF. I’ve gained many new friends, people I will never forget throughout my entire time on Roblox, but my ultimate dream is to help people. I’ve taught people throughout my years on this game, and honestly have never joined a clan considered to be ‘good’. I love helping clans, and feel as though I’m selfish for being in clans that are already well established while there are others out there with such great potential, lead by leaders who really need to take a look at reality while also reflecting on their past leaderships.
Of course, I’m not going to base my entire quitting thread on fruitbox alone, as there are several other factors that have allowed me to come to this conclusion. Overall, while RSF is in a great state, there are so many things that are pulling it back that I myself cannot fix alone - it’s always a struggle. I feel like the amount of work RSF needs done to it is really overwhelming. Had fruitbox given up the group earlier, when I could 100% focus on the group and its revival, I probably wouldn’t be leaving. However I see in the near future a lot of things I need to do to focus on real life and focus on applying to post-secondary institutions. It’s really stressful, and overall pisses me off that this is happening now of all times, however I understand it requires more of my attention than this game.
And for those ungrateful pigs who skipped over everything I just wrote just to see if their petty little name was listen on a ‘shoutout’ portion of this thread, here you go (just kidding, ily all)
-IArlongI: You’ve been a great friend and overall I’m glad I’ve been able to work alongside you for the amount of time I could. Sometimes I feel you care way too much for the ownership of RSF to actually focus positively on its future - that one argument we had was probably the lowest point of our relationship, and I’ll never forget it. Remember that RSF works as a unit, a unit in which not only you can expect to control.
-Hinokami: We got off on a really rough start, mostly because a lot of highranks told me how ‘awful’ you were. I regret listening to them, as you’re a wonderful person with only the best desires for RSF’s future on your mind. Sometimes I question a few things you do, however it doesn’t go without saying you’re really helping RSF, and unless you decide to retire soon, I hope you make RSF proud, or rather, [RSF].
-GiganticGulian: No words really, I wish I could have gotten to know you more. I see you as an inspiration for hope RSF has had, and you’re a person who goes against everyone’s negativity and are hoping to shine through. Good luck on the technology you’re bringing to RSF.
-Axarinious: God, there are so many great things I wish I could say about you, but you’ve really let me down. I guess what I need to say is that you’re a great friend and when I joined RSF, I was able to work alongside you, and that’s enough for me. However as you’ve progressed through this year, it seems all you care about is ‘joking around’ and ensuring your popularity. It sickens me that such a great highrank of the past is now giving up. Do me a favour and make RSF go places.
-Fredasaurous: I guess I owe you the biggest apology. I have stopped you from leaving RSF on some occasions, and now look at me, the ‘quitter’. I guess I can be seen as a hypocrite, however I really have no energy to help out RSF any further. You’re a great kid, continue doing great things.
-Blizzardous: The same could be said about you as Axarinious, but to a lower extent. I really see true potential in you, I’m not lying. However remember that being in RSF is not a popularity contest. Continue to use your wits and knowledge and you’ll go far in RSF.
-gege9876543210: Glad to see you back in RSF. I wish I could have worked more alongside you in this new era, as I have been looking forward to do so since I met you last year. You’re a talented highrank, and please continue to do without a doubt what every other HR is too scared to do - live your life to the fullest.
-Celvious & Blackrushflash: You two throughout the year have gained a lot of flack from the highcommand, and I don’t see why. You two are the best duo I’ve ever seen in RSF, and your ideas have sparked a lot of imagination in myself. Just remember that the only thing holding you back is your refusal to integrate yourselves into RSF’s community.
-iCj23x: You’re by far the best Colonel RSF has. I wish I could have worked alongside you more, and I apologize if my ‘mentoring’ didn’t go quite as far as I had wanted it, however you have a lot of potential and I do not want you to have it go to waste.
Other shoutouts (sorry, I really don’t feel like writing all of these summaries, but trust me, you all deserve one).
-RSFaZe -1fireblade1 (lol) -phaesaurous -Valkeri -123Canon -DayZYolo -Fearthespear56 -Lizziehearts100 -LouieZamperini -Rimant -Skypia -AbriI -Blamingo -IsaWitch -Jaffs -supersmartboy -Shadownize -REAPERMOXXY -DeathCycle00 -bathhater12 -CptJaller -Dishling -TheFarthestUniverse -RosaTheHuman -Scufs -VerifiedSolution
(I’d have done a lot more shoutouts, but let’s just just say it’ll take me ages to do so. If you’re insecure that you have no shoutout, let me know and you can cry on my shoulder. But in all seriousness, if I knew you, you’d be on here).
My one last shoutout goes to fruitbox. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to RSF, but you really need to give it up. I know me leaving will probably set you in a negative direction even further, but honestly, you now know my true intentions for joining the group and I hope you see I only had the purest intentions for you. You’re a great friend and I’ll be there if you need me, but I really did have it in my mind that I was being somewhat useful for you. I guess I was wrong. And I know you don’t want me to quit because of you, but remember you’re the reason I joined in the first place.
Have a good life, and good luck, RSF. I’ll continue to fight for new leadership, not for your own needs, but for fruit’s. I’ll most likely rejoin RSF once it’s given over to a new leader, and hopefully it’ll be at this time that I’ll be able to be fully active and actually stand for positive change in RSF. Until then, I’ll do what I can to prepare a future highcommand for RSF, when I have the time to do so. Hell, maybe I’ll join Preliminary Sanction, led by Reggected. They’ve got so much promise as a clan, and honestly could whoop RSF ass. They’ve got a great leader, and they’re going places - LOL I’M SORRY I CAN’T.
But yeah bye.
Sincerely, -Shinyehh, Ex-RSF General. |
