I’ll do my best to keep this brief and not annoy people with superfluous details. As I’ve seen several Vaktovians making a ‘My story’ (Barry, numerous lower ranks, and of course the VAC) I thought I’d do the same, especially considering I’ve received more interest in my past from people now that I am a general. Hopefully by making this thread any question about my past from any period will at least be able to be answered in part.

But where to begin? I suppose I would have to start with how I came into contact with Roblox to begin with. I was a 13 year old kid, very ignorant of the way things worked, in life and on the computer. I had a friend whom I visited almost every day, and every day we’d play some old game, eventually he introduced me to Roblox. He didn’t have an account, and simply went on as a guest. I thought the game was beyond cool, given my limited involvement in MMO’s up to that point (CP being the only one).

I went home and decided to play for myself, and ended up visiting many games in that first day, most of them stickmasterluke’s. That was about December of 2008. For months I kept visiting places as a guest, not even aware an account could be made for Roblox, not to mention that it would actually enable you to talk in game.

When this STUNNING revelation revealed itself to me I immediately created ‘Squidboi2’ the name of my account from CP. The name had grown on me as I had used it for years prior, and so even though ‘squidboi’ wasn’t taken, I chose boi2.

I continued what I did before, visiting various wargames (my favorite being Trench Warfare by Stickmasterluke) and didn’t have a care in the world. I met some good friends along the way, Link1234541991, spearhead9, redpickle2008, ghostguy11, and Kaiser56. We were inseparable and always just chilled with one another. We didn’t have good grammar, nor were we skilled in combat in any way.

Then clans came into the picture.

While I had been a guest I had assumed the ‘X-101st Recruitment Center’ had just been a game, but by joining Roblox officially I found out that it was actually for an organization, a ‘clan’. I hated X-101st in my old days, prior to the group feature and raided often. My little gaggle of friends disliked them as well, and we’d raid them every now and then not exactly organized.

The group feature came, and soon enough I decided I wanted to make my own ‘x-101st’. I created the Silent Reapers clan (As I’m sure some of you know).

http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=1324

I created the original logo depicted and began recruiting by inviting raiders from the X-101st recruitment center. All my good friends joined, albeit they also had their own groups. SR eventually got over a 100 members which was decent back then, but we were one of ‘those’ clans, declaring war on huge groups and begging for attention.

One of my friend’s groups, Knightwing INC., was actually successful. They introduced me to a wider clan world, outside of the large clans. Knightwing began fighting Ninja Corp. and SR helped.

http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=1517

Around this time I noticed the ‘forum’ tab in the upper right. I had no idea what a forum was at the time and was curious so I clicked away. As some of you have noticed I began posting for the first time, however I didn’t stick around. The animosity I received from my posts drove me off for over a year.

I continued to get involved with Knightwing (Although I was never a member) and SR. The war with Ninja Corp was good, it honed what little talents I had and actually crafted me into something half decent.

Then came RDA. I came into contact with them around July of 2009 and to this day I’ve yet to meet such a pig-headed leader as roony777. The disdain between he and I runs far deeper than any RDA-Vak relations, and Knightwing and company made it our goal it destroy RDA.

We succeeded on December 14th, 2009, when Roony gave up the group to one of our collaborators and we exiled everyone from it. We cheered heroically, reassuring each other that that day would be celebrated every year since.

2010 rolled around uneventfully. The dawn of the superclans had come. Clans like FEAR and RAT were beginning to get footholds in the member base and were becoming forces to be reckoned with.

SR being the little hate clan it was, loathed FEAR and we ‘declared war’ on them for quite some time. Needless to say our attacks made no difference.

By about April of 2010, SR was reaching the end of its life. My little group of friends had been quitting one by one and our ally clans like Knightwing were also teetering on the brink of inactivity of death.

I left SR around then, vowing not to enter clans again. Even with all the lack of grammar, popularity, or skill, I still consider April 2009-2010 as my favorite year on Roblox.

I was ecstatic to not be tied down by clans and took full advantage of it. I went to games to have fun, and not spew spite. I remained in this manner for about a month or two.

But then I got bored. Redpickle2008 had returned and was offering me a new position in his new group, Redstar (allied to RDA, who by this point had rebuilt). I really had no interest in joining such a small clan but he made an offer that changed my mind.

For quite some time we had discussed ‘Vaktovia’. My friends hated it, calling it the ‘most evil since X-101t’. I was curious about it, as it had the same color scheme and a very similar name to the species I had used on Spore called, Verxnosia.

But back to Red’s offer. He said RDA was preparing to go to war with Vak and they wanted me to go in and act as a spy. I felt this was a perfect opportunity; I could remain friends with those I knew and yet still get into Vak.

I visited the recruitment center, talked to a recruiter, gave him my background information, my KO count, and how long I could be committed a day. I was promptly accepted, and thoroughly excited, I visited the Vaktovian Desert Outpost.

There I met my first Vaktovian, Sergeant Xalix101, and was excited to get underway. Before my career could even begin however, Red began to catch on that I might be more interested in getting through Vak than I was in helping with his operation. As such he sold me out to Xalix, who posted on the wall I was a possible spy. I vehemently denied it, thus breaking my friendship with Red and ending whatever operation I had been sent in to do in the first place. I was now a fully committed Vaktovian soldier.

I remember lying in bed one of those first few days after my acceptance and promising my then 13 year old self that I too would be a general one day and have that ‘pink uniform’. It seems a little silly looking back at how greedy I was, but I’m glad that I was at least able to fulfill that promise to myself (although I did not get the pink uniform).

I was a terrible private, backtalking, begging, and whining. But I was molded, crafted into something useful and I progressed relatively quickly. I even caught glimpses of the fabled ‘XDHAPPYXD’ and participated in a few raids with him. I spent almost all my time at the Recruitment Center and Desert Outpost (The Desert Outpost was terribly laggy, and the Recruitment Center was the only real place to raid).

Unfortunately beyond that, my mind goes blank. I remember little of my first few months within the Empire beyond the raiding and defending. My old friendships had begun to decay, and I left them behind, much to my regret now.

Soon enough I was a captain in the Empire, and I couldn’t have been happier. In fact I doubt I’ve had such a happy day on Roblox, my promotion to general included. Becoming an officer was an enormous step up, and I was immensely proud.

The monotony droned on into late 2010. I eventually made an attempt to quit Roblox and was successful for a month but came back. When I had I was surprised to see XXDHAPPYXD had changed his name of Vaktus and we were now at war with APN, who at the time were quite powerful under Bobatheman’s leadership.

I also noticed that Vak was being harassed on the forums. I tried to do the best I could defending Vak, but I was heavily outnumbered. APN’s influences on the forum were much larger then little ole’ I. Regardless I kept at it, and by far the worst of the Vak haters were Briank and the13thhippie. Both of who at the time were high in FEAR’s command chain. This begun the time of when I began to post heavily on C&G’s, I had been sparse until then.

Defending Vak on the forums was however secondary to beating APN in war. We butchered them, it wasn’t even close even at their base. As the war progressed into December 2010 (I had forgotten the 14th as had almost every one of my other friends) there were rumors Vaktus was creating a new division; The Royal Guards, meant to be the best soldiers in the entire empire. I considered myself good at sword fighting as well as combat in general and wanted to get in very badly. Beworking recommended me after I beat him many times whilst swordfighting, hardly a worthy way to enter, but I now had a means.

Devilishpyro had been the first Royal Guard.

Liam3131 the second.

After a particularly uneventful raid at APN Vaktus asked for me to meet him at his one on one testing grounds. I was more nervous than I had ever been on this game. Pixiepie9 also came and was to be tested as well on the recommendation of lil2mario (Metrac). I had to fight Devil, Liam, Pixie, and Vaktus himself to be accepted.

I lost badly to Devil.

I didn’t even damage Liam.

I managed to barely slip past Pixie.

And I got throttled twice by Vaktus.

I was ashamed. I had thought for certain that I had failed, when lil2mario came in with important news for Vaktus. They talked amongst themselves for a moment, and Vaktus decided to accept both I and Pixie as the third and fourth Royal Guards. I was excited at the time, but by now I feel more guilt than pleasure for that moment for daring to accept an honor I didn’t deserve.

Mushcamando was accepted as the fifth Royal Guard and Kyloman2 was the sixth. We were a great bunch of fighters and got along quite well, we formed the Empire’s shock troops and did a good job at it.

I was soon promoted to colonel in December as well, a position I held for two years.

We then entered into 2011, still relatively unknown, but much more known now that we had beaten up on APN and gained a foothold on C&G’s.

We beat VS decisively over a month, and beat UAF in equally short a time. We also beat up on FEAR although no final battle was arranged. We were on top of the world, and people were clamoring to join. We even had positive relationships with RAT HR’s and both sides seemed to be content to leave each other alone.

Shortly after this time, around March or so of 2011 I received an offer from Vaktus asking if I wanted to be a general. Even then the guilt of accepting Royal Guard was beginning to come into its own and I declined, citing that Devilishpyro deserved it far more (at the time we had not had a general who had joined during the period of the Empire, and I felt he deserved to be the first), which he did in all honesty.

Finally however, our happy go lucky period ended with CT ‘practice raiding’(I say so in quotations as it was quite large) SMO without consulting Vaktus beforehand. That same night, Vaktus told us to be prepared for the morrow.

What happened next was quite possibly the largest invasion force I had ever seen, with Vak invading six servers of Celeste, and 5 servers of Equinox in minutes, without counting the new Academy members filling their own.

It was impressive, and we won most (albeit not all, RAT did well defending given the short notice) of the servers. I personally assisted Vaktus in numerous Celeste servers.

The Vak-RAT war followed, as most of you know. I did what I could on the raiding front, and began to gain a larger presence on the forums. I was still far in the minority however, RAT dominated the forums and the flame wars between us were bitter.

Months and months past and the war seemingly could not come to an end. The GSC was dragged into war against us, and they soon dissipated as an entity. There were numerous botched attempts at ending the war, mediation from other clans, a final battle, CT group-banning Vak, but none of them worked. Eventually the war just ground out of vision, both sides seemingly out of energy, both sides declared victory and eventually admitted to a tie later.

The following months were rough. I had suspected that our sudden upheaval to the forefront of the clan world would pay off badly, as the war had gone long enough that people who joined at the beginning because they hated RAT had become officers, and with our war ending with RAT they lost interest.

Officers began to quit for ‘corruption’ or some other willy-nilly reasons, and we retreated back to the darkness we had come from. I had stayed mostly optimistic during this period, however I had to address something.

I retired from the Royal Guard a year after I was accepted, the guilt having finally outpaced any desire to remain in it. I was later replaced by two RAT spies in the rank and it was a little depressing to see the division dissipate to nothing.

January 2012. The worst month in our Empire. Vaktus did not log on the entire month, the generals by this time too became less and less active. We hung on by a thread. People poured out, most notably Brickster1324 and his posse to form TGI. I tried to play it off like nothing was happening on the forums and I feel I succeeded for the most part. We would have been crushed had any clans just known the state we were in

We rose from the ashes however, and rebuilt. I was accepted into the newly formed Obsidian Order and was granted admin at SMO, which I was grateful to have been given.

Over the next few months we fought several wars, JC, FC, etc. But for the most part we remained quiet, not fighting anyone too large.

The entire year was rather uneventful, rolling by with the same objective, to maintain Vaktovia’s public image and further the growth and integrity of the group itself.

In December I was made a General.

It felt weird though, I knew I was supposed to be happy and excited to receive such a prestigious position but I wasn’t.

I was anxious. For so long my fellow colonels and I had talked big, saying things like ‘well if I had the power this problem or that problem would be resolved’. Now we did have the power, and it wasn’t as straightforward as we had seemed to portray.

However, we began to work together more closely than we had in the past not just with the generals but all the officers as well. And as issues are beginning to be addressed and resolved, a bright future is promised.

___________________________________________________________________________

And that does it for my history for now. Reading over it, it seems I included just as much Vaktovian history as my own personal history. But I suppose that’s just how I am. My history directly correlates with the history of Vak, and once Vak fades off, so will I.

I would thank people that I’ve known or have helped contribute to where I am, but I’m certain those people know whether or not I’m thankful for their help already, and needn’t their name mentioned in some teenager's thread meant for reminiscing.

I may add onto this in the future, as Vak progresses. But that is left to be seen.

Thanks for reading.

tl;dr version for C&G's: I've been on this game too long.
