I guess the time has finally come that I step down from my position and let another individual have the chance of becoming a Game Moderator. I, personally, don't think it would be right for me to continue moderating at such a low frequency in regards to handling reports. School just takes up all my personal time in the weekdays and I'm left with nothing to offer except regular activity of going in-game and watching out for spammers, swappers, etc. I shouldn't be whining about school taking up my time because it will one day shape me into a person whom I want to become and the career I worked so hard for. I have met many, and left many behind. I'm grateful to those who have come such a long journey with me from the start of 2009 when I first came to this server. I had no idea what a forums was until a person told me in-game, which was pretty hilarious but I was really young at that time and was learning as time passed and still am to the very day. I don't think games should be hurling any obstacles in my life or yours since they were established for entertainment (they are an addiction though). My family is my top priority when it comes to such things, then is school and then comes games.
Ideally, as a GM; I admit I haven't done the best, but I also haven't caused or done any harm to anyone no matter how bad things had gotten. I had tried and did the best to my full potential to help any player overcome their issues so they could experience entertainment by interacting with other players to build friendships with one another as I had done myself and any of you. Without players, there's no such sacred thing called a community, without a community there's nothing that lays between a system that is created without the feedback or help of players. We have all been players sometime in our life and have come to a place where we wouldn't ever think of being associated to the staff. Regardless; we have all helped the community out in some way, whether it be positive or negative. I'm proud that I got the chance to witness or hold a position in Freestylers World because it was something I was willing to portray and do out of my personal time. My dream had came true due to the support of those who believed in me being capable of taking up the responsibility. To those who hate me, happy days for you now, and to those who actually liked me being around, I'm sorry. I respect everyone here whether it be my hater or such but I believe we can all be friends even if we're in hardships. Sometimes, life may give you lemons, but you can always make lemonade with that. It's always best to let go of things and start afresh. Anyhow, I thank McSic, Dave, Kunal, Rocka, and Micah who were the GM's and Admins at that point and still are in that list for trusting me with this huge privilege. The trial period was just mesmerising! 10 tgm's at once was just mind blowing and it was a really long (4 weeks). Can't forget it was a fun experience indeed. Some were left standing while others had left without a trace. Fighting for events and reports was something I didn't truly support in since the job of a GM did require you to do those deeds as a trial. However, I went along and joined in to help at all times. Fights weren't something that I was good at as a leader or a companion. I had no intentions to start any to get others to flip out just to cause commotion; we were a team now to get things done.
Alright. You can call me a hyprocite or w/e on this but one thing for sure that I'm a bit dissappointed at is the lack of respect this community has for one another. Things are constantly getting out of hand one after the other especially for a community that used to be friendly before. I, myself have gotten into fights with some of the players due to some issues regarding reports not being dealt with on a daily basis. Let me tell you this, being a moderator on a server doesn't mean you dedicate your whole life into this game. It gets you no where. This doesn't give you any benefit in any way nor profit except if you're willing to abuse which I don't recommend you to do. We staff have our lives to take care of also and look after (family-wise.) This is not a job that you get paid for. In fact, it's a job where you decide to whether or not use your personal time into the game itself as said previously. Be it present or past, we try our best to do what we can possibly do to ensure you guys are having a fun experience but it takes time. You need patience further most. No decision can be made in haste, especially when you're dealing with unlegits. Ironically, I was not the best spotter in detecting some third party programs but I never hesitated to try and learn from my mistakes. You need to make risks sometimes that lead to mistakes and comprehend them to be successful. Getting the job done mattered to me the most than not trying at all.
A wise man who I really want to thank for all this is EpicKLF. Only because of him was I chosen as a GM according to beliefs since I was not known at that point. I made a reputation in this community when I was first chosen as a staff member for F-Craft on the first day I joined the server. After that I slowly became the Tech Admin/Owner as I was promoted at a later stage. His insight got me to acknowledge that I can do much better and achieve many greater heights one after the other as in who I am today with the position. I believe if I didn't get that opportunity in the past to showcase that I'm worthy of being part of the F-Craft staff, I wouldn't be here right now with the GM status. Me and him accomplished much success with huge updates such as Spleef, creating shops for players to buy items with the amount of money they had, hunger games and what not. I really can't remember what else I had done except acknowledge that F-Craft only had a decent average of 3-5 players per day and since all these updates were rolling in, the player count boosted up to more than 15 players. Thanks to the players which were: Foe, Tomboii, Gianpaolo, Andy, AderZ, Xazen, Xondez, Ric, Rocka, Omar, Kunal, Joel, Jawarisin, StephanM, Steph, Adam, SinBad, CaptainBen, Crash, Luneth, Weeeeiipk, Resort, Spy, Sentinel, and many others who I can't seem to recall.
Thanks to these players that I had been recognized at that point. Couldn't have done it without you guys. I guess I can say "Started from the bottom, now I'm here".
Below this is where I'd like to thank those who have shaped me up in who I am today with their teachings regarding any single thing. I will try to say something about everyone, but let's not forget that there's a "Respected Players List" also associated to whom it may concern; according to my journey be it present, past, negative, or positive. I treat everyone here with respect. If you want to earn my respect for you, show it. Getting and giving is always the key to friendships.
McSic:
Spoiler!
I haven't talked to you much but from what I've seen, you're supportive at all times, you try to sort things out to keep them working as how they are, and always ensure things are going smooth with the in-game items so players could have a better experience in gameplay. It was an honour to have been chosen by you as a trial along with 9 other TGM's. Keep it up! I will be indebted to you for giving me this chance to redeem myself.
Dave:
Spoiler!
You're a cool guy in all fairness, you crack me and the others up with those GIFS you showcase on the forum chatbox ;-;. However, you have given me many chances to make amends for my mistakes. I'm sorry for giving you trouble or even for bothering you over any trivial thing. I hope you keep up with the great work! As I said previously to Sic, I will be indebted to you for giving me this chance.
Xanxus:
Spoiler!
I really don't know what to say about you. It's just mind blowing how much you have taught me during my trial period till a GM. During the trial period, you were that scary guy who we all feared from and didn't want to get scolded by. Therefore, we tried our best not to get in trouble or do anything silly because we knew you would be back hunting us down! It was funny at times seeing others get lectured by you and at times it would just be so intense to listen to because we knew you wanted us to not **** around and take shit seriously which would be understood since we were now part of the staff meaning, we had to be the role models and do what was best for the sake of the players. You will definitely dwell in my heart as a role model. Thank you once again.
Rocka:
Spoiler!
You were Kunal's sidekick from what we went by. I still remember to this very day how well you used to baby sit us at trials and make sure everything went in a soothing pace. You were there to support us in our ups and downs. You used to be that alcoholic, but now you aren't which was a noble deed to do. I respect what you did for us and hopefully you someday return back to this game since everyone misses you (including me.) Thank you dude.
Brisk:
Spoiler!
Gay ass ***** XD. I'm happy that I'm still in contact with you on LoL and hopefully do in the future. You've served just as good as a FM and would wish to tell you are a incredible friend despite us talking quite frequently. We've had long chats on the Staff chat regarding the randomest topics and spammed. Let's play LoL once in a while.
Cobra:
Spoiler!
You're that Tech guy who seems to know everything except the meaning of "HTML" which is High Term Memory Loss. Get your facts straight ^^. However, me and you have been tgm's together and now gm's together. You have done what you could for the community in an appropriate manner and be sure to keep up with it! . Let's not forget your nick name Cobra*n*s.
Ommadawn:
Spoiler!
Great guy, great personality and a great taste of humour. You and I have handled reports together on a firm grasp. If we ****ed up, we both would either take the blame for it to cover up one another's mistake. You were there for me, and I was there for you. Hopefully, you return someday and also we keep in touch with one another to let us know what's poppin'. Thanks bro.
George:
Spoiler!
I feel that you should have deserved this position a while ago from what I've seen to date. On the other hand, you always know what you are doing to keep things in a orderly fashion so things can be flourishing. Also, you're amazing in tech and I wish that you someday build a career into it. Thanks for all the help and keep up the great work!
Shino:
Spoiler!
You're no different than George! You both seem to be butt buddies which reminds me of me and Divine ): . I have seen that you're pushing your further most potential to be successful which is awesome! I suggest you keep it up at this pace to ensure a stronger foundation in this position and give it your best! Good luck mate.
ZoneStyle:
Spoiler!
I didn't know you from the start but I gradually started to know you a bit more when we became TGM's. I remember you and Ommadawn for being that alliance for doing anything and everything as a whole. You didn't become a GM at that specific time, but you are now! Be happy, and do your best for accomplishing it this far .
Micah:
Spoiler!
If we forget about what had happened prior to the incident, you have been a great friend and that dude who was cool in the staff chat. I got to know you a bit more when I was a trial and found out that you played LoL ;-;. We started talking more and bam! we became good friends, which I still do consider you as today; regardless of what had happened. Thank you for those times and good luck in the future.
Adorable:
Spoiler!
You truly deserve being a Head-ET, and I mean it. You host events at such a pace where it's fun to participate in along with your phases in dodgeball. You add that variety to your events to ensure no masala spices are missing ;-;. Keep up the great work and take great care of your present and future event team!
Zeal:
Spoiler!
I barely talked to you because of the time zones! I have some times waked up early in the morning on weekends to come and try to offer help with you and the others but I sometimes end up losing you or either meeting you. I have never, ever, never, ever heard any complaints come from any player or witness you being in trouble from the staff. Don't change at all! Keep up that perfect record man and also being that great role model.
Steff:
Spoiler!
I honestly don't know how many times you got reported for either sb, esp or uc. You're a pro player along with a great hoster. Your behaviour sometimes gets out of hand and you're unable to control it without a doubt. We're not perfect after all, it happens, and we gradually learn so it doesn't occur again. Anyways, I'm so confused right now whether or not if you're legit ;O. jk jk jk. Good luck in the future mate and thanks for the help you had offered to cover up during events.
Abasena:
Spoiler!
Abadusa, I don't know how many times you get picked on by the staff in a day. I just think they seem to miss you and the staff chat just has no entertainment at all except you coming and causing all that commotion. It's indeed hilarious, but sometimes you seem to be serious about it which is equally as funny. Me and you have cw'd recently and I thank you for that fun experience. Good luck and wish you the very best in the future!
StephanM:
Spoiler!
I admit we never got along with one another, but I still appreciate all the feedback you have given me while I was seeking for help. You hand out punishments in such a way that I burst out laughing for some odd reason . Hopefully, you don't change and keep up with developing and moderating for the community, pirate. Good luck!
Wucas:
Spoiler!
I haven't talked to you much. I think you're way different than the others when I first saw you create that DEV App and the FM app. You rightfully deserve those positions without a doubt. You're a cool guy in all and do keep being the same!
Google:
Spoiler!
Straight forward guy. I still wait for you and your little "sister" to do the daily workouts we saw you doing on tinychat ): . However, you've been a great FM and have been doing your job efficiently since then to make sure nothing is left out.
Jakanadin:
Spoiler!
You were a role model from the start till now and still will be for me. You have came such a long way with Forsaken and some ex-staff. You have and still do the best to your ability to have things working whilst moderating. Good luck in the future man!
Nagi:
Spoiler!
Our recent activity together was when you slapped me for that event where I was "lagging" . Anyway, you seem to be that guy who tries to ensure that there's no hurdles standing in the way. You try to eliminate them ASAP. Keep up with the great developing and moderating!
Mike:
Spoiler!
One of the outstanding DEV's I've seen to date. Not saying he's necessarily the best out of the current but he makes an awesome add-on to the team with his programming skills. I'm still waiting to see what else he has to offer than the game modes he has released and have been a success so far. Keep it up man!
EpicKLF:
Spoiler!
Couldn't have done it without you, lad. I will always be indebted to you for that chance you had given to me without even knowing me... Good luck in the future .
Joobie:
Spoiler!
Pharmacy bwoii. We used to talk a lot when you were active in-game, but I understand that you got other stuff to do than play games. You're in university at the very moment and I hope you do your best! We just recently got together and went out for a road trip to the "Indian Curry House" for some samosas. Let's play a match on LoL once in a while.
Cute Nymph:
Spoiler!
I first met you in-game with Farhaj and Hamza. They both were lamers while we were those sg'ers and soon we established that anonymous trait to a friendship that we have today. You're a great guy but you some times get mean. You told me about LoL and we played it daily even when I used to feed in my first month of the game. I was still learning and I guess you were too. Long journey since then .
KirakuSenpai:
Spoiler!
Hands down to you mate. Best ET. You did a lot of despicable and ridiculous things with Steff but you both had no intentions in causing any harm to anyone it concerned. You were both awesome trolls and experienced at it. We had a long journey, indeed, but I'm happy to say that you're my friend as of today. It's really hard to get you mad no matter what. you have a long temper. Keep being who you are and we'll always remain in touch possibly.
Divine:
Spoiler!
I first met you somewhat 2 years ago when I had thought you were -Deathstep trying to avoid your ban at first. I had been rude to you to get that truth out of your mouth in a vulgar attitude. We shortly became friends, we started interacting a lot on skype and in-game, we came best friends and butt buddies, and I'm proud to say that you're still my best friend to this very day despite your inactivity. You're a guy whom I will never forget <3. Thanks!
Mime:
Spoiler!
I met you in the summer of of 2012 in a duel room. You had asked me whether or not if I was from Toronto or not from the low pings we had to each other and I had replied with Brampton. Since then, you were really active then and was a cool guy (you still are.) The way you approach situations is a bit haywire when it comes to arguments but you always end up taking the belt home. Good luck in the future man.
Jin:
Spoiler!
I met you in the summer of 2012, too. I was in the clan 'Pink' at that time and so were you with Lori and Adam. We had soon discovered that we were from the same city but you had moved to Sauga later on. We do see each other in-game at times and I just join you to check up on how things are going. Also, don't forget that I'm still the best LD'er around here .
Jaskaran (Mutate aka Genesis):
Spoiler!
Aye! I met you in-game this year and found out you were from the same tribe. We evolved that anonymous trait into a friendship. You added me on skype and we talked daily about the randomest shit. However, don't forget that we're holding it down for all da punjabi's worldwide b.
Bhav (Profound):
Spoiler!
I met you last year b. You're my ***** and we've been cousins unknowingly all this time . I'll come stop by at Meadowvale for your birthday as you mentioned and we'll have a blast by getting Sam to play ball in the winter in our shorts outside.
Sameer (Perform aka Geass):
Spoiler!
We never got along with each other from the start because of our egotistic behaviour towards one another. We do get along now which matters at most and I'm a real baller meaning I will dunk on you like micheal jackson g.
BlueTank:
Spoiler!
I ****ing miss having you around and wish you would come back to cw with me. You were that guide when I first came to FG telling me how things were assorted, what a forums was, etc. Come back soon <3.
[F]oe (Lategame):
Spoiler!
I remember I had won my first ****ing event point in my life in your event "LMS". However, we first got to know each other after I came back from my 1-2 year break on F-Craft where I served as a Admin/Owner and you would ask me to give you a bunch of diamonds ;-;. Your ender farm was awesome and tbh, I stole some ender pearls from there when I decided to start play legit on the server since it was getting boring just making recreational aspects of transportation and architecture. You were a guy in the past who made people laugh a lot, but I hope you get active again.
KiraiNimaka:
Spoiler!
How could I forget you meng... YU HANG <3. You seem to be a pro at LoL and an expert at it. Good luck in the future!.
Ganjuana (Justin):
Spoiler!
Baty bwoii spotted! I first met you in-game as any other player and that's how we established our friendship. We still talk today and It's hard for me to believe you're a Muay Thai CHAMP in Canada.
J:
Spoiler!
Sup b. You're a cool guy but you can never beat me in a 1 v 1 8D. Keep dreamin'.
Jorge94:
Spoiler!
How in the world of ponys can I ever forget you? I added you on xbox live like 4-5 years ago when I was like 11 or 12 years old. I used to forge a rebellion of the people in my school in our xbox live party and be squeekers . We played Cops and Robbers on MW2 Terminal like every single day because it was ****ing fun and hilarious running away or having someone on your tail. It's been a pleasure for that experience. Thank you!
Taint
Spoiler!
You're a great guy but I understand what you're going through lately which has been affecting your attitude towards everyone in an unusual tormented way. I'm happy we've talked about it and I wish things get better for you in the future! Do what's right and don't forget "Just do it - Nike".
Peace. We'll stay touch on Skype.
Johnny:
Spoiler!
I admit we haven't gotten along like ever. I used to be your fan bwoii in 09 because I wanted to join Dropped like real bad. You had disappeared a while after that and just came back recently. In that recent era, me and you cw'd and I flipped out on you for "doing no damage" when you actually were. I had anger issues then but I try to control it now especially as a Staff member. I respect anyone and everyone here and the same applies to you. I hope we get along sometime again. Sorry for that issue.
CaptainBen:
Spoiler!
Great guy imo. You just seem to be cool in general at all times. I first got to know you a bit more when I operated F-Craft with EpicKLF and then we became friends. I really hope you earn that GM rank back and show them that you're capable of doing it again. Peace.
Miko pls:
Spoiler!
You were a supportive friend from the start and I still consider you to be one today. We had shits and giggles regarding any trivial thing. I met you when your name was 'Periferia' or something like that but I'm not sure what happened to that name ): . However, I'm legitos and me dun know what dora is okie? ;-;. Peace.
If I have forgotten you, I'm sorry. However, there's many memories that I'll treasure with myself and cherish from my younger years till my last breath. I honestly think I should be putting my time to fair usage to put effort into my upcoming assignments, tests, etc. My activity was starting to be a burden and a distraction since I was not meeting up to the expectations that I was chosen for. It's always best to let another individual experience a position who wants to do something in return for the community like me. And you know what? My wish was fulfilled and I did what I could possibly do within my presence to get things going in a orderly fashion and an appropriate manner. I'll be getting on from time to time to check out on what's happening. It's about time that my 9 months of moderating comes to an end today, sadly. Thanks once again McSic and Dave!
Wow, I'm honestly shocked. I didn't see this resignation coming. 8D
You were one of my favourite staff members. Not just because you were a GM but because we were close friends.
I remember the times we would play competitively. We would always Clan-War together and play for hours everyday. I guess that's how we became close friends.
We both live very close to each other. Because of this, we could talk a lot of our personal lives and talk about common interests.
We would talk for hours on skype. We would share a lot of our personal info about our lives. We both would have interesting stories to share. You will be missed Desiboii. Hopefully we can play gunz together sometimes.
I want to let you know that you did a very great job as a Game-Moderator. I honestly respect for the job you have done, but mostly for the great times we had together. As you said, I really hope we will keep talking to each other. Take care bro

Thank you for helping me during Trial-GM, wouldn't have done it without the help of the official GM's but here I am now.
I wish you good luck with school and I hope one day you will have a successful career.
Cheers!

Really appreciate the talk we had last night, and its good to see you've understood what I've been through, I really am going to miss you since I'm pretty sure you won't be visiting the forums as often.
You gave me great advice on how to fix some of my issues and I'm grateful for that, thank you ever so much for your time in this community and especially the time you had with me
We've had a great go at the game as well as messing around and what not, good times man good times :')
Good luck with your education and I hope you fulfil your dreams.
Take care.
