Ok. I have reached 2000 posts - rnt i der bestest ever? Well, I have two other accounts for foruming, my total post count to this day is about 3960 (HybridTechnology and AngelicDemon666)
I started out Roblox when pspjohn1 told me about it. This was back in 2008, at the time I was a runescape freak. I misheard John, and spent an hour or so looking for a game called "robots" - found nothing - gave up.
A month or so later, John came to my house, and showed me where to get it, it's actual name etc etc.
He helped my build my first place which PURELY consisted of the starter map at the time, except everything was unanchored, and the map was duped. One team spawned in one, and one team spawned in the other - John gave me these free modelled planes that he had edited to have a hint in them saying "The owner of this game thinks pspjohn1 is awesome, and you should play his game" - at the time, John had made the original version of battle over the bridge (As well as a couple other games - something to do with zombies), and it had something like 130 place visits. I was the typical kid player, only going on front page games - especially obbies and spending hours a day nerding out.
Then I got bored, maybe got into other games - can't remember, and I quit for a year or so, at this point John had constantly been working on battle over the bridge and it had about 30k visits - normally there were 1 or 2 people there. I literally spent 2+ hours a DAY for months playing that game, and that game only. I found my addiction to snipers. I played this non-stop until John created John's Cobras - and he asked me to join, as it had practically no members, and he wanted the member count up. I joined, and didn't do much, and went inactive and quit again.
I had a very brief trip back to roblox and JC a month or so later, when jlcompton89 was a high rank, I annoyed them all a lot because I thought it was funny to ruin their training, and I instantly took a disliking to jlcompton. However this time ended within a few days.
About a year later (maybe a bit less) - it is the summer of 2011. John comes out to france with me on holiday, he shows me the JC youtube channel and his attempt to get JC back (It was taken from him by jlcompton89 when jlcompton89 - now laminaking gained access into his account and stole everything). I join roblox at this time, I think my re-join date is the exact same date that hammer124 left Noble Blade to come back and support JC. John managed to get him account back (the other is left unchanged to this day: http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=18133276). Then there was the fight to get JC back. Jlcompton89 had sold it to Sonic at this point. The forums were full of JC members asking for JC back, there were many youtube videos, but all of this was in vein - an admin returned JC back to John a few weeks after he got his account back and all was well, because of all the propoganda sent round by JC, it was well known again, and it picked up the catchphrase "back from the ashes", and the new-ness of such a large group (about 6k, but at the time that was actually a lot) meant that it started growing rapidly. John also got battle over the bridge back up getting huge amounts of VIP purchases, and people joining JC for free VIP - we grew to about 9k within a month. This carried on until about 15k members and then battle over the bridge died out. By this time JC was well established again, it was active and doing well in the NB-JC war. NB then group-banned JC, thus winning the JC-NB war for JC. I came to roblox 100% active from here on. I "made" loads of shirts - free templates on google and such :3 and didn't really get anything. I made a "military obby" and it got 200 visits - I was so excited. I basically just worked my way up John's Cobras, over a 2 week period, I managed to get "Major" and made a couple of important friends: joeylink100 - my oldest friend in roblox xdarkztarx - I still call my best friend on roblox huntrocker - A huge group connection x1pro - a major at the same time as me.
I went to fang for hours a day, and was extremely active, going to every training for a month or so, and was given colonel - I swore my oath among x1pro.
I was also finally granted acceptancy into JCSO by CatcherOfSouls after completing a set of orders and tasks, and for me this was my roblox pivoting point - I quit all other games/groups/clans and focused solely on JCSO and JC. Catcher did a great job of making JCSO seem even more elite and prestigious than it was, and at the time his HQ was incredibly modern-looking. The white and black base look fitted in with the group perfectly, and it was built extremely well.
Within a few months Catcher was demoted for whatever reason, and JCSO was handed over to Wolfshaver. I was only just a colonel at this point, and so was not even considered as a worthy owner. I saw Wolfshaver lead the group downhill, and instantly took a disliking to him. I did everything I could to get him demoted, as he was ruining the group I loved. Pictures taken, videos recorded, forum threads made; I had all the proof I needed, I presented them to John and other HRs, this got Wolf demoted, and JCSO was now leaderless again. This time, I was not letting anyone else get it. I worked incredibly hard to obtain that group, and I succeeded.
I should not have gained ownership. I did not deserve it. I was appalling at all forms of combat. But I started hosting trainings, and these trainings probably taught me as much as the trainees were taught. I discovered mouselock, which was unheard of in JC at that time, and I spread it throughout JC. 3 weeks later and JCSO was thriving, it was active, the HQ that Catcher had given me, I had worked on, and I was having at least 3 trainings per day, JCSO alone (with 30 members) had more visits per weeks at its training place than JC did.
I believe I carried on the legacy that CatcherOfSouls started. JCSO was being used for what it was made for for once though. When Catcher owned it, it was great, but it wasn't used. It was only really a title. John sent us off on rekky missions, which nowadays are not done, but back then were great fun.
CheeseyMacral owned the other "Elite" section called JCER or John's Cobras Elite Regiment. We were in competition until JCSO thrashed JCER in every way. JCER was not only shamed, but it was shut down and merged with JCSO, I still owned JCSO, and things were great.
The group carried on thriving until I won the "Temperor" elections, and I was made emperor of John's Cobras whilst John had exams (Which was really stupid, because I had the exact same exams as John - we went to the same school....) I had to hand it to someone. By this point CatcherOfSouls was back in JC, and he accepted it back. He made a new training grounds (Which was really nice, it had a nice point system too), but I preferred the old HQ, but Catcher was a great builder of JCSO places, and I enby his talent. Anyway, Catcher got JCSO back, and the old members (the ones who were there when I owned it) didn't particularly like this. Catcher exiled everyone and started re-recruiting. I fell out with Catcher many times during this period, as I still thought of JCSO as my group, and I didn't like how he was running it. He was accepting his friends into the group, even ones who were not in JC, and the skilled players that were in it with me were not allowed in because he disliked them. I was exiled from JCSO, and was banned from it. A month or so passed, and I was told to give JC back to John, we discussed it would be better for JC if I took the blame for the loss of the JC-VAK war, and so I "Executed" myself for being a "bad leader" (Partially because I had the same exams as John - I should have quit for a month too, and partially because I spent much of my time chasing up JCSO news). I then had to leave JC for a while, and when I came back, 12gooroo12 was the owner. Although gooroo is a GREAT high rank, I believe he is a feeble leader. Yes he is greatly skilled at combat, but he lacks teaching methods. JCSO started dying once again.
I was given Team Vortex by Jaredvaldez4 and started focusing on it here. I owned JC and TV at the same time WHILST also having my iGCSE exams. I spent more time with my own group (team vortex) than with JC, and didn't do it justice. However over time, I gained a nice training grounds from tobiscus - thanks. And a lot of support from other group owners (such as legodude12) etc. TV started to gain members, and I was holding full server trainings/raids.
I switched accounts to HybridTechnology and gave TV to Jasontor1000 (who ran it nicely)
I started LMaDing, gained WWA and Pindy, quit then gave them to john.
I then returned, was given colonel and here I am.
I hope to work my way up ranks, and learn LUA over the summer.
I had started experimenting with building and hope to build something nice soon.
HAIL COBRAS!
