Yui810 2007-2013: The End of a Journey (Part 2)

"Yui810" was the account in which, you could say, for the first time I really got into the game. Previously, I logged in once and a while and got on a building game, then built till some asshole deleted my stuff. This time, I actually attempted to be part of this "community" of ROBLOX.

I began to socialize more in games, communicating with people in chat. Though my mother warned me of "the horrors of internet communication!" I figured, even though I was still a wee lad, I knew what I was doing (which, as it turns out, I did) and did it anyway. This was also the time I began to forum, mostly going on roleplays (I still had the imagination of a child, but still wanted things to go my way. This resulted in many a ban from roleplays, or me just ragequitting) and going on OT/SF, which at this time (Off Topic) was much more friendlier than it was now, and at this time I actually still enjoyed sports (Sports Forum). This trend continued until what is known as the UCW '09 (United Clan War '09), a war known by many names yet was still the greatest internet conflict and event I had ever participated in.

For those who joined later on after this war, it literally changed everything. In its wake, the creation of some of the greatest war-clan powerhouses (UCR, RAT, and FEAR) happened to be made this time, also the group feature (to this day members are still unsure if this was created due to the admins believing that clans were finally extremely popular, or to keep away from group confusion).

Anyway, the war went like this: The two greatest clans at the time, X-101st (which was the first group closing in to hitting 10k members) and REF (which, for the most part had the most "political" power on ROBLOX, being the main leader of the Roblox Coalition lead by NearmissTFW who, for the most part, was a secret REF benefactor.) This wasn't just any normal, "huehue clan war" though, this was as serious as two groups of 5-10 year olds could possibly get. Imagine: The front page of every sub-forum had something to say about the war. Every place you went to, even if it was an obby that had nothing to do with clan wars, had some clan members fighting over what was happening -- sometimes even blocking things for people who weren't in "their group".

Now, that's just the stuff that didn't involve clan wars: actual forts were filled to the brim with people. Tons of men would get on top the walls of the fort with carbines and shotguns until someone finally broke through -- killing the defenders and letting the attackers through. This continued until finally the server emptied. This was war.

Now, at the time, I was the "self-proclaimed" fourth-in-command of REF. I say "self-proclaimed" because in reality I probably wasn't, but that doesn't matter now since history belongs to the most-annoying and repetitive and most people who matter believe that I was (take in mind that, like I said, this was before the group feature). I also owned a group name the 24th legion, which had about 3 or 4 members, but like I said about history, that group is considered to be one of the main groups in the war.

Anyway, after that war (the REF-R.C ended up winning) I continued to C&G for awhile, until I moved back to OT due to "lack of action". A few months past by (more than a year in total) until the "moderation news" forum was somehow leaked on OT. This was before they had the intelligence to hide forums apparently, so everyone started posting on this particular forum. For the lels, I decided to post once -- and, long story short, I ended up getting perma'd for little to no reason.

This lead to more childlike depression, until finally I manned the fuck up and ended in probably the greatest of all my accounts and where the legacy really began (and ended): yui810ghostofotpast.

Yui810 2007-2013: The End of a Journey (Part 1)

Recently, I finally ended a long, 6 year legacy that was my Roblox account for more focus. The game might be shit now, but I would be lying if I said that I did not learn or gain anything from my experience on that site.

It started in July 2007. The exact day of which, I am not sure -- as the account has long since been banned. The name? monutdonut. Why? I was a fucking retarded child, I don't know why.

As the story goes, I was looking for a free-to-play MMO game to play, since my favorite at that time, Runescape, turned to shit with its member BS and I wanted to play a game that actually allowed you to do most of the features. About 50 Google pages and probably hundreds of viruses later, I happened to find "ROBLOX".

Now at this time, ROBLOX barely had any members compared to its three million or so today, so the community was small and games normally only had a few people on them at a time (the biggest games normally only had 300 online at one time compared to its 2k or so later). The only form of customization was t-shirts, but hats were hinted at beyond infinity and so were eventually implemented. I'd say my first game was probably Crossroads, which compared to what it is now was majorly different.

For the most part, the games were separated into three categories:  ROBLOX games (such as Martian Invasion, Santa's Stronghold, Crossroads), RPGs (very early in design, I want to say the first popular one was "Legends" RPG, known for its absolutely ridiculous VIP), and Building games, obviously the most popular as the entire site was designed around just that -- building.

The best ones were, in my opinion, Space Explorers and the Island Roleplay. There were many others that were good, but were later changed, deleted, or just didn't make it anywhere. It was at one of these places though, where monutdonut ended.

At this point I have been playing the game for more than a year (August 2008 iirc), and I was at one of my favorite building games. The biggest menace in ROBLOX at the time were "deleters", and thankfully none had come into the server yet. I should've known my luck would change.

Out of no where, my beautiful house I had spent 2+ hours on started disappearing. In a flurry of child rage, I started spamming all of the cuss words I knew into chat, and eventually found myself disconnected.

I went to the homepage to find my account had been banned for excessive profanity.

I had strikes before from similar things, yet the feeling of being banned permanently from my favorite game was too much for me to handle. I whined, complained on the forums, and eventually cried myself to sleep like the faggot I was.

However, this was just the beginning, for the next morning I made an account under the name "yui810", and that's when things really got underway.
