(Deep, sad sigh)
Today will go down in history as one of, if not the most depressing day in 1N history. Several of us have left the Discord server, as some of us have even quit 1N in general, including Sway and Sonic, who both swore loyalty to the very end.
A lot of you are upset at me because of my views on collabs like PD and Upheaval, my views on using PG-13 language, and my views on Minh vs. Darkrai. Well, I have a lot to explain that'll hopefully justify (or at least clarify) why this is.
First up: PD. The vast majority of 1N wanted to see PD killed, supernerfed, or changed in some major way. Well, I have made it clear that I didn't want PD supernerfed, as I wanted to see it rival even the most elite demons such as The Hell Origin, which according to Stormfly, is harder than Artificial Ascent. I also didn't want to see it killed because I spent weeks working on PD and had no intentions of just throwing it all away. It was fun for me to work on PD overall, and it was incredibly satisfying seeing the end result house 2.0's object limit. But another huge reason I refused to kill PD can be found at the very last 3% of the level.
(1 thorough search of PD later)
Yeah. In addition to dedicating it to Cyclic, Riot, and Mefewe, I also did it in memory of a couple of family members of mine that had passed away. I'm fairly certain I mentioned my great-grandmother in the past, but Taylor is somebody only CY knew about...until now. Taylor is a sibling of mine that died while (s)he was in the womb, before GD came to be. As far as I know, I'm the only one who fondly remembers Taylor, as I'm usually he first person in my family to bring him/her up. I showed my parents 65-100 on an AV of PD, and despite the epilepsy, they really said they liked the tribute (and the end in general) and they didn't even know it was possible to make stuff like that in GD. So, hopefully, now you can understand why I felt so hurt when so many people were telling me to let PD die.
Next up on the chopping block is Upheaval. Something not a whole lot of you may know about us Upheaval's history. Basically, back when Train and I were loaded with free time (yes there was such a time lol), we decided to make Upheaval a v2 of Cataclysm, with me behind gameplay and Train behind deco. However, neither of us liked the direction it was going in, and it eventually ended up being scrapped, and still lies in its grave today. This is another collab a lot of Natives waned to see gone, but here's the thing...once people started finding out about it, a few decorators actually WANTED in on Upheaval. However, if you guys truly wish to kill it, I suppose I can check to see what Train thinks on that.
Finally, my notorious PG policy. If you don't know by now that I'm a Christian and that I don't use coarse language, then you've living under a rock. However, many of you also wanted to see PG-13 be implemented into 1N in...SOME way, shape, or form. I've heard Korr say it felt as if it was really limiting freedom of speech or something like that, but that isn't my view on it at all. When my parents first found Discord back in October, and saw me chatting to you guys, they just BARELY approved (despite the fact that I showed them uNation and they liked the fact that I was collab if with you guys). So, if all of a sudden, my parents wanted to look on my phone and saw you guys ranting at each other and swearing your butts off, then I could easily be banned from 1N as a whole.
I want to say from the bottom of my heart that I'm sorry that all of you had to suffer through this, especially those that had nothing to do with this, such as Train, Sci, Kimani, etc. For those that stayed on the server, you have my thanks. For those that didn't, I respect your decision and I wish you best of luck in the future.
By and large, even if everybody else leaves 1N for whatever "replacement team" that's been made, there will still be a few of us that refuse to kill 1N until we feel it's time for it to die. Everything was going so well what with Megaman being verified once and for all...but, what about the other collabs we've made? Are we actually gonna let this be the end???
