Dear TRA,

I feel, having spent years with the group, that it is time to say my last goodbye. Apologies for being melodramatic, yet it is a fairly large deal to me considering how long I've been a part of our fantastic community for. I realise that this has been long overdue, especially for being inactive for so long - simply because I really haven't had the time. However, the time that I did spend, certainly not waste, with TRA will always be treasured for years to come.

For a very long time I have been honoured to be part of this group. Although we collectively were never the most skilled, nor were we always the most active, we had our highlights. I have envisaged what I'd put in my resignation thread for years, because I had always thrown the idea around my mind about resigning - even since Early 2012.

I have been Commander four times (more than any other commander), longest consecutively serving High Rank in TRA and head of every major department apart from the Elites (although I was an active administrator in it during LordRobobuy's era which was effectively a Co-Head position). Although I apologize for bragging, I do want to list the achievements I've made almost to remind myself what TRA was able to give me, as well as what I was able to do for TRA.

I am honoured to have given hundreds of promotions to people who earned it, and it has been a pleasure to shout for trainings, raids, defences and even war declarations. I feel I have done everything I ever wanted to do in TRA, all the aspirations I had when I was a Recruit years ago, and so much more than that.

I have forged many friendships with other users on the site, and I hope some can outlast my time on this game. It has been such a pleasure to be such an active part of the group and to spend my time working for the group in so many different ways. I cannot properly express how much I have cared about the group over the years, and many of the people who have been part of it since I first joined.

[HISTORY]

I first joined the group in May 2011, when I got my ROBLOX account having been a guest for sometime before that. I wasn't very active in the group however until late September 2011, when I made a good friend in a Colonel called MagnaBeast. Magna meant, and still does mean, a lot to me and he helped me quickly climb up the ranks alongside many other dear friends from this site.

I have been a member of the High Command since 24th December 2011, and I am happy to have remained one for over four years. I was a pretty average Colonel, one that had desires yet would barely get listened to. It was not until I got general in Late February 2012 where I'd have a more active role in the group.

I was honoured to work alongside other generals like Fyritas and MagnaBeast at the time, especially when LordRobobuy was having turbulent times of his own while Commander. A key moment, potentially the most important moment other than TRA's creation, was when Toni returned to power in April 2012.

He established a new sense of order, democracy and collective responsibility in TRA by assigning Heads of Departments for the first time in TRA's history. He ended the rife corruption during LordRobobuy's era and his return would be appreciated across all corners of the group.

We had numerous successful wars and TRA was going through its second golden age (the first was its creation). We had a vibrant and huge activity community through Toni's second era, and I was lucky to have the chance to be Commander after him.

Toni is easily the best Commander ever, by far. I won't judge my own performances as Commander nor will I judge other Commander, but I definitely know that Toni is the best Commander and probably will be the best. Toni has managed to achieve things that no other Commander has done. He grew the group to over 50,000 members - an unrivalled achievement. He created the group from nothing, he established a wave of decentralization and he certainly put his mark on the group he made.

I won't go into detail over my attempts at being Commander, however I appreciate all the time that I was able to spend with all TRA members - whether Generals or Recruits. I certainly think it was a difficult time for TRA when there were continuous changes in Commanders after Toni first gave me TRA. I was not able to commit long term to TRA, and that resulted in rivalries emerging between cliques and distinct groups in TRA.

They were finally put to rest during KingconXII's era, due to his own abilities and strengths. I do appreciate King's dedication to lead the group, however difficult it was throughout his era to work with rest of the TRA community. I took TRA back after the UCR/TRA vs. SF/VS war highlighted weaknesses in the administration of the group, stimulated by Kingcon himself. I had the help of support from many TRA members, and I wanted to change a lot - potentially not for the better, however people look at it.

[REFLECTION]

I am personally proud of what I have done with TRA, although there are many mistakes I made which I'd want to rectify. Although cliché, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I appreciate everyone I've ever had the pleasure to work with, and I thank everyone who has spent time part of our long-lasting community - whether 10 minutes at a training or serving for years. TRA has lasted over 5 years with its heart still beating, unlike many other clans these days, and I am certain it can last for another 5 years to celebrate its 10th anniversary with fresh faces at the helm.

I apologize if I ever caused anyone grief while I was an active part of TRA, and I apologize if I was ever unfair while in the group - I would reverse my actions if I could. I don't think I personally changed anything in TRA, but rather the community moulded itself to adapt together - an ability for TRA to be proud of.

[IDEALS]

My own ideals were to have a fun community for people who wanted to escape from any pressures of life, and provide a game for those who wanted it. I was against enforcing punishment, because I felt we should not punish those too harshly for those who wanted to spend their time on the ROBLOX website with TRA. I wanted to have more collective responsibility and representation in the group, similar to what Toni was originally able to achieve in his era.

I was personally against wars which TRA would not find enjoyable, as I felt the basis of wars were for TRA to have fun as part of the game we all played together. I was personally against lack of regulation and lack of large complex systems - but TRA does need a balanced between control and total freedom because of the restrictions the website gives us.

Many ideals I had always contradicted each other from time to time, and never always worked. TRA has always been a place of sharing those ideas and working out plans to benefit the group together, using those collective ideas.

I feel that a Commander should always been active, or else they should resign - it's why I resigned so many times from Commander. However, I betrayed that ideal when I stayed for too long during my fourth time as Commander (June-October 2015) when, by the end, I was so inactive. Therefore, I am sorry for that and apologize. It's the same when being a High Rank or in any position of responsibility, and I, too, have betrayed my own ideals when hanging around as an inactive Arch General for the past few months during TAC's era.

Lots of people over the years have spoken about how the group can rely on own person, usually people think about Toni. I disagree with his notion, however much I'd like it to be true in my case. TRA is a community, and it relies on the community and their activity rather than that of one individual and their own ideas and stances. TRA will always be lucky to have that community sense to it and its lack of reliance on individuals.

[CONCLUSION]

I will certainly keep in touch, or atleast try to, with some people from this website. However, I won't make one of those long lists of names I want to give thanks to because I don't want to forget anyone. I would have an extremely long list of credited names because so many people have provided me enjoyment on this website for the past four and a half years.

I am not quitting the website entirely, I could never rule out popping on every now and again to play a game or speak to someone from long ago. However, I feel its necessary to leave TRA of my own volition rather than slowly being demoted to the bottom. Nor am I really used to being a lower rank in TRA, since I have been in an honoured position of responsibility in TRA for so long - so just resigning to Major isn't far enough down. I want to just be a Recruit, so I can still be part of the wonderful community, but I won't have any responsibilities that I can't spend my time on.

I don't really care to be remembered, nor would it probably happen, but hopefully people can remember the vibrant TRA community and history of the past five years. People should not remember individuals and their own achievements, but rather achievements that the whole group earned and shared.

I appreciate the many years I have spent with TRA, but all good things must come to an end one day. I will really miss this group, and everyone I have had the honour to be friends or even colleagues with. Although some will be happy to see this thread, perhaps because I'm outdated or I have outstayed my welcome, I have enjoyed working with everyone in this group - no matter what differences I've had with some over the years.

Thanks for all the experiences, opportunities and laughs.

It has been great, DrDrRoblox. You was very helpful to any TRA, and you led TRA well when you were a commander several time. I also would like to thanks you for helping me to be a better HR in 2014, teaching me how to shout properly, and whatnot. Once again, it is very sad to see you go, but that is understandable. We will really miss you, DrDrRoblox. Have fun in real life, :D

Dr, you spent a lot of time in Toni's shadow, but you did a valiant job leading TRA. We will never forget what you have done. I wish you all the best in your future.
