Yeah, I'm leaving. Just RAT though, not entirely ROBLOX. I'm still gonna forum a bit on ROBLOX, maybe be more of a troll considering I wouldn't represent RAT anymore. But eventually, I will end up slowly getting inactive and leave ROBLOX. See, that's why everyone who has promised to quit ROBLOX never succeeded. They just decided to quit cold turkey, which is nearly impossible to do if they aren't entirely dedicated to never ever coming on the game again. I suppose me leaving was inevitable. I was starting to get inactive after I got my new computer, because I lost all of my Vindicators files, and I wasn't in the mood to rewrite them. Butthurt, some will say. So I got Skyrim, and started playing that for a while. Pretty fun, I might say. A lot funner than ROBLOX by far. So I guess I'm just going to write a paragraph or two about why I'm leaving; I don't want to linger on this for too long because I know there are people who won't agree with me leaving, and I don't want to bother arguing about such things, because I can just imagine the boring arguments that I'll get. Feel free to try, I'll respond if I have time to waste. Anyway, because I have nothing better to do (and I've always wanted to do this), I'm going to write my clan history. Keep in mind this is at the beginning of 2009, half a year after I joined ROBLOX. I'm not going to talk too much about my RAT career, though, cause most people know about it already. If you don't want to read my clan history, than just skip to the bottom.



It started out in early 2009 when I got interested with clans. Back then, there was no C&G and group function so people would have to make-do on RT for recruitment/member lists and so on. Clans weren't so popular back then, other than REF and x-101st. However, I was much more interested in the United Forumers, an elite group led by Thanu who fought X-101st and destroyed Umbrella Corp. I was determined to join, but many others wanted to join UF as well, and I must not have been one of the more attractive people. I kept trying, but stopped after I found out most of UF got banned for some reason. At this point, C&G was open for a month or two, and clan recruitment threads were moved there, and the clan people followed.

I created my own clan. The United Builders. Yes, it was some kind of dumb copy of United Forumers. My bases had a bunch of free models, and I hardly had any members. I didn't care. I was having fun with my group, and that's all that mattered. It was around this time that I learned about x501st Allied Forces, led by Destroyer892. A huge alliance of many small clans. At first, I'd troll his recruitment threads for pages because I didn't like him for one reason or another. In the end, I ended up joining his group to see how it went. I still held on to UB, thinking I could get somewhere with it. For some reason, I left x501st AF. It was then that I really lost hope for UB. We had ten members, which gets really boring. So I just exiled everyone, left the group and rejoined x501st AF. That was the only clan I was in at that moment.

That clan also become the only thing I was loyal to. I got a bunch of friends; Gogohappy754, Megadude9, LordsKnight, Destroyer892 and a bunch more. This was probably the funnest moment of my ROBLOX clan career, and it lasted nearly two years. We would raid x-101st constantly, to the point where their Generals would enter the server just to ban us specifically. We were a nuisance to them, but we were having the time of our lives. We'd spend two hours holding their base, with carbines and shotguns and pistols. Funny thing was that it wasn't much of a challenge to get in the base even though the x-101st members would have carbines. Raiding was extremely fun, but it got old after a while because x-101st was declining. So we decided to focus on the clan for a bit. We improved technology, we improved our promotion systems and so on. It was fun to do, but probably boring for the members who had no say in it.

I would continue to help out with x501st, but I learned about UCR. This was around August 2009, when the group feature was released. I would join UCR and start devoting a bit more time there than to x501st AF. UCR's main enemy was x-101st, which made me want to fight all the more. Even after we defeated the x-101st, I would still have fun in the group. I would try to get into the group's politics which didn't work out too well for me. At the time, I was in a flame war with NearmissTFW, leader of the ROBLOXian Coalition. He was extremely biased and bent rules to his favor. So, he booted UCR from RC because I had given it a bad image. Kinglime got upset at me, might I mention it was the first time he would directly contact me. He didn't demote me or anything of the sort, but he left UCR later on, claiming it was changing from what he wanted it to be originally. TPHG (Meow) got UCR, and he completely revamped it. For starters, he didn't really like me, so I didn't have much of a chance there. I think he demoted me at some point for something, but I eventually got back my rank and leadership was passed on to Benblue9.

Ben didn't do much of a good job as UCR's leader, but he was alright for the time. I don't remember anything important that happened during his era, so let's just fast forward through that. Eventually, leadership was passed on to dboot98 (fooger). He was a pretty good leader, and a cool guy too. Somehow, I became his personal bodyguard through the recommendation of someone. This was one of the happiest moments of my clan career. I was in UCR professionals, I was the leader's own personal bodyguard and almost got my own office in the UCR offices. Unfortunately, I got on benblue's bad side and he exiled me. I was trying to ruin his rep, but didn't really get anywhere with that. Things cooled off a bit, but he wouldn't let me back in UCR, claiming he couldn't accept requests. That ended my UCR career. As good as it was, Nothing Gold Can Stay (kudos if you get the reference).

I decided to stay away from superclans from that moment on. They were corrupt, in my opinion, and all the leaders were corrupted. I was done, wasn't going to bother with that. So, I devoted more time to what became x5AF. We were trying to build up more of a legacy. We would improve our tech, as usual, but also try to improve our relations with other clans. We were getting allies, but we were aiming for RC. It was the most prestigious honor a group could get. Get in RC and you'd be respected. So, I tried to improve relations with x5AF and RC by joining Rendel Space Industries, one of RC's main clans. It was a modern type clan led by CloseEncounter, and it was very fun. It was a cool roleplay, and even though there were a lot of people in the group that got me mad, it was fun enough that I would just ignore them. Eventually, I would actually get somewhere in RSI and I was happy for that. I would improve my relations with the other RC clans too, and all was well. x5AF was close into getting to be part of RC; many other clan suggested it. But tensions between x5AF and Nearmiss grew. Eventually, Nearmiss would imply a law that would prohibit any x5AF member from being in RC's three main clans, until they left that group. Once again, my rank shot down. I couldn't say I wasn't expecting a dirty little trick like that, but I was upset regardless. Two times this had happened, I didn't want it to happen again.

x5AF became 5AF. It became a bit less active too, but the HRs were really active. Our technology was great. Our guns were very detailed, gun scripts were really good too. But our planes were amazing, both built and scripted by Destroyer892. Unfortunately, he was a bit paranoid about people stealing his technology because his M4A1 got stolen. As a result, he would devote more time to programming anti-exploit scripts rather than work on the actual technology. We were still making progress.
About everyday I would have private meetings with him. We would talk about how we would improve 5AF, how we could imply new systems and so on. Desty was a really nice guy, and he was my best friend at the time. We would talk all the time, and somehow never get bored. I really felt like it couldn't get much better. It didn't really, I was having a lot of fun for months. Unforunately, though, Desty had to quit because he wanted to devote his time to school. As a result, he would exile everyone from 5AF and then just quit. I remember that day I was very upset. He didn't come on xf at all from that point on, and there was no way of contacting him. I suppose I was a bit sad that my best friend had just left without even saying goodbye. TALK ABOUT FOREVER ALONE. A few months back from now, one of the Generals who is Desty's RL friend said he quit ROBLOX because he aimed so high but could never reach the top. Until then, I had a grudge that he left without bothering to say goodbye or anything. I was relieved, at least I knew why he actually left.

To those who are lost, we're in about August 2010. So much happened in only a year. Moving on, I would troll the hell out of Donkeyo and RAT because I had nothing better to do. There would be pages of threads, and threads with pages of flaming. It was fun for me, but looking back at it now just makes me think about how immature I was. It was fun then, so I guess that's what matters. I think I can safely say I was RAT's biggest troll haha. After a couple of weeks of this flaming, I took a break from ROBLOX without really noticing; it turned out to be for a few months too. Reason being, a new game where people could craft mines interested me and my RL friends to the point where we got really excited with it. We would play the game for hours at a time during the summer, and now we would play it almost every afternoon after school. That game was so much funner than ROBLOX at the time, but eventually we got a bit bored of it. We would still play a lot but a bit less, to the point where I would want to check out where ROBLOX was at.

This is about March 25th 2011. Yes I remember the date lol. I asked C&G if I should join RAT. Bunch of people, including the RAT members I trolled, agreed. Even Donkeyo came on the thread and told me, "Go for it." I was happy that he didn't have a grudge over me, so I joined. Same day I joined RAT, I was promoted to Supervisor by ODM because I was friends with him at the time. I was happy, although I couldn't do much as a Supervisor. About a day or two later, I was promoted to Marshal. At the time, I was unaware that only Donkeyo could promote to Marshal. I asked around on C&G, and eventually asked Donkeyo himself. He told me I was one of his Marshals, which found to be a hilarious twist. Oh well, it was an honor at the time. Although, even as a Marshal, I had close to no respect and hardly anyone knew that I was Donkeyo's Marshal because he didn't mention it anywhere. Many didn't believe me either, so I was left on my own. Eventually I got into Honors Division, which was a happy day because I got my Pulse, which was such a good weapon. After enduring five long months of being a Marshal and hardly being respected, I was accepted into Sparrow Corp. Nothing really important happened while I was a Marshal other than that, so I'm not going to bother remember and type it up here.

After a month, I was promote to Admiral; I felt like I had so much more authority. I could order more member around, I would do more for the group and so on. It was great. I didn't dare let the power get to my head like it did with the other leaders of clans I was in. I was determined not to let it happen, and so I didn't. I may have rarely abused my power, but it was simply to get a member to respect an order. I hardly had to push my weight around though, most people already respected me. I was starting to become one of RAT's most strict Admirals, and I made some kind of image for myself. I suppose I was proud, I wasn't just any chill Admiral which made me unique in some way. Eventually, I started working on Vindicators which I thought was the group that had the most potential but with nobody to bother unlock it. I took up the task, and got somewhere with it. I also started the idea of Admiral meetings, which were something I thought were great. At our second Admiral meeting, Colour announced Council Admirals. I was proud to be the Council Admiral of Vindicators. It was cool. But just about a month later I became a Great Admiral, 3iC of RAT. I was really happy at this point, life in RAT was really good. I had a lot of power, and I hadn't abused it yet. I came across a lot of troubles, though, and earned many haters. Oh well. Haters are cool.



SO THAT CONCLUDES IT. My whole entire clan history in good detail. I could have added a bunch more, but I don't really want to rack my brain for memories right now. I'll admit I wasn't the most interesting person out there, but now that I think hard enough about it, I didn't have a boring history either. I hope you guys enjoyed if you read it. Now, why I left RAT, because people will be wondering about that the most:



I'm leaving RAT because of the Admirals/Sparrow Corp Agents, and just everyone who's *supposed to be* in charge. Yeah, that's pretty much it. I don't mean to put them at blame, but they're the cause as to why RAT is declining. They are the ones with the power in the group, and they waste their time playing around and doing nothing for the group. I have suggested so many things to SC members and Admirals as to what we could do to improve RAT. My ideas would be agreed with, but nobody would bother help me by taking action. The only person that would try to help me put my ideas into action was Moolego, but he was trying to get a HR to AA RAT, so go figure. But I must say, he was so much more helpful than half of the active Admirals, not that we have much of those either. Nobody would bother do anything, and it was getting on my nerves. RAT would have so much potential if the people in charge worked on it. Perhaps some were scared of Colour getting mad at them for doing something without his permission? Or maybe they thought Colour's permission for things were necessary? Either way, that way of thinking was dumb and it got us nowhere. RAT is not improving at the movement, and even if Counter seized a control over RAT, it won't make much of a difference. Fact remains, we were taught to look at Colour for guidance, and no one else. That is how it will always be, and I don't think things will change any time soon.

I suppose what really drove me into creating this thread were the events of April 12th. CCW and Cj were promoted to overseers of Sparrow Corp. I didn't really care about that; although I would have loved to become an overseer. Whatever. But what really got me thinking was the promotion of the new Admirals. I suppose you could say I left RAT out of butthurtedness if you take me the wrong way here. The reason I am posting this thread is because I can't believe what RAT is turning into. People are always whining about unfair promotions and such, but I would always disregard it. But the promotion of these Admirals was just unhelpful, in my opinion. I personally don't think that any of the Admirals promoted deserved it, while there are other Marshals who would have made great Admirals. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings here, but that's my opinion. Dizz is a good leader, but he hasn't done anything for RAT in months and there are so many others who could do better. Bereza and lk won't make good Admirals; they aren't ready, for they haven't done anything notable as other Admirals have. But I'm not leaving because I'm mad that they got promoted. I'm leaving because I can't believe this is what RAT is turning to. CCW had "five minutes" to decide who to pick for our new Admirals, and who to demote. Is this what RAT is? Rushed decisions, for our most honourable rank? Whether or not CCW knows them, that's not how RAT works. I personally find this sickening, for some reason. If it was up to me, I wouldn't have bothered pick at that moment. Admirals aren't picked in five minutes. I'm sorry, but that's stupid and this is probably the stupidest Admiral promotion that has happened in my time in RAT. I will not stand for this, and if this is how future Admirals in RAT are going to be picked, I'm not going to be here for when RAT falls. I refuse.

Something I also realized writing that paragraph is the problem of new leadership. When Colour was still active, RAT was a great group and we'd do plenty of things. As soon as he became inactive, everything started falling apart. Nobody would do anything, the people in charge would just stand around expecting an order from someone. Then, after nearly months of this, CCW finally takes up the task of taking care of RAT. At first, most people were relieved because we could finally look to someone for guidance. Unfortunately, nothing was happening. Counter wasn't doing anything productive, to improve RAT. I know it has just been a few days, but I was personally expecting results. I can't really blame him, other than being an Admiral and whatever he's done in his life that I do not know of, he doesn't really have any experience leading a group at all. In fact, I don't think any Admiral is ready to step up and take care of RAT alone. It won't work because nobody is enough of a leader. Not me, not CCW, not cj; not anyone. And of course, none of the Admirals are willing to work together. Like I said earlier, any ideas that aimed for production, but took effort on the Admirals'/Sparrow Corp members' parts were shot down as fast as they were suggested. You should see the Sparrow Corp wall; most of the time good ideas were suggested, but then came along someone who posts a link to someone's gun creation and everyone starts talking about that. Bam. Instantly, an idea is disregarded. If you're wondering why Sparrow Corp hardly produces as much as it should, there's the primary reason.

One final reason I am deciding to leave is because of real life influence. Believe it or not, I'm not that old and I'm going into High School next year. As much as it teaches me leadership and whatever, I don't want to be bothered with ROBLOX in HS. I'll be honest, I didn't have much friends last year and I was pretty much a loser. But I changed personalities and got a bunch of friends now. Not having friends, being a nerd, etc etc isn't exactly fun at this age. I want to make the best of my childhood, and I don't want to be stuck with ROBLOX where I'm working more than I'm having fun, because I seem to be the one of the only Admirals that actually work here. And when RAT comes close to crashing, I know I'm going to have to bother myself to help pull it back up. While I could be enjoying myself playing the endless games being developped by other companies, while I could be creating more commentaries for my channel, or even while I could be doing improving with extra homework, I'm going to be stuck on a game that won't even matter later in my life. The earlier I pull away from this game, the more beneficial it is for me. Even my dad's starting to get upset with the amount of time I spend on ROBLOX; I'll admit it's a bit too much. There are quite a few more reasons why I'm leaving, but it's a bit too hard to put into words right now. Quitting is harder than I thought lol.



So finally, to conclude, here are *some* of my closest friends, or people who have greatly influenced me during RAT that I just thought I would need to put here. I'm not about to put everyone, but most of the High Ranks in RAT were my friend, and I will remember you guys for a while.

Mike82098: Had to start with you. You've been a great positive influence for me over the past year that I've been in RAT. I know we talked about this on xf, but I am so grateful to have met you. You are a great person and I hope that you become a Great Admiral after I leave. You would do so much good for RAT.

Meto02: You are such a great Marshal. You are incredibly loyal and mature, even though you troll a lot lol. I haven't given my personal goodbyes to you yet but I probably will by the time this will be posted. You are a great person to be around, and I really do hope you become a Sparrow Agent and an Admiral.

ColourTheory: I can't exactly put into words how grateful I am to you for giving me the chance to be in RAT, and get to such a high rank; considering I was such a huge troll a year ago. If you did read this thread, you may not respect me as much as you did, but I will respect you regardless of your thoughts on me. You were a great person to work with, and I really wish you luck with whatever else you want to do.

Stelation: You taught me a lot about respect, I have to admit. You are a great person. I didn't get the chance to get to know you better, so I'm a bit jealous of the people who are closer to you. You are a really chill kind of person, even though not many know it. I have much respect for you, even if you don't know it.

Moolego: Even though you turned out to be a VAK spy and you wanted me to AA RAT before I left, you are still a really great person. Even though I suppose it was fake in some sense, you were a great friend and really fun to have around. I wish you luck in VAK, and I hope you accomplish whatever you want to do. Cheers, man.

St0rmx: oh my god i hate you so much but you are such a cool person. Seriously though, even though we met a bit later than I'd like, you were an awesome person to have around. Even though half the time you're trolling and doing other things I rather not speak of, you are serious when you need to be. I wish we had worked closer together, but oh well. At least we troll each other enough. :P

ggfunny1234: Haven't talked to you in a while, but you were a great friend when I was a Marshal, I hope I get to see you again before I completely leave ROBLOX.

That's all I can think of right now. If you weren't on there but you were my friend, don't worry. You were still a huge influence on me, odds are. It's just that I didn't feel like boring people who are reading this to read every single person. If you really want me to tell you what you meant to me, just say so on this thread, simple as that.
Now just to finish off, I'd just like to thank every single RAT member who supported me to get where I am now. I mean this seriously, but it would have been a lot more stressing than it was without that support. I thank you all, and I hope you all have a good time in RAT.

Read practically everything.

I'm going to dearly miss you, Vader, even if you'll still be on ROBLOX. You were always there when I needed help, when I needed some guidance. I won't forget you & what you did for RAT, what you did to influence me.

Thanks for everything.



"Perhaps some were scared of Colour getting mad at them for doing something without his permission? Or maybe they thought Colour's permission for things were necessary?"

Practically me, heh.
