unregistered x0x0 Lt
Guest
It’s so peculiar to me my stumbling upon this forum, then- and even now. Runescape, such a fascinating game at the time, this was my first MMORPG. It’s immersive environment really took a toll out of me in my youth- for better or worse. Days would go by at school and I would count down the seconds, minutes, hours- my craving would intensify as the weekend came closer. The weekend for me was my time to play. In awe I would always lust for more gold, and I could be found browsing google for hours looking for the ultimate ‘cheating’ site. I can recall the day I found Sythe.org- under the name runecms at the time. I was in the library, grade eight, doing a health project on puberty... puberty to be absolutely precise! This was the day, the moment I first laid eyes on the forum, this is where it all began;
X0x0 LT
What does it mean? I’m not entirely sure myself.
In my early days I would frequently browse famous pker Xx Jut xX’s homepage, he had some captivating photo’s of rs2’s beta phase, along with other goodies that would make any rs newbie squeal with joy (IE successful pking/early seasonal events like Christmas 2003 etc). Before I get lost reminiscing aimlessly ill get to the point; xx jut xx had a right hand man- Subzero LT. I can’t tell you what went through my mind the day I registered, but somehow I paired together x0x0, with LT… which I later found out was an abbreviation for the country of Lithuania. How did I find this out? Members were constantly inquiring about my name- specifically the Lt.
Eventually Jansen- former Moderator/Administrator changed my name to avoid further confusion; he personally thought that ‘Emmylou Harris’ would be a suitable username for me. Why? I couldn’t tell ya.
Part of the team
Among staff of my own era we had Blizzind, x9, I Wind I (whom I despised) , Mittenz, Draculaz, Curtis, Clashfan, Jewsus, Jansen, Cody and Steph to name a few. Sythe, and Cheater (not cheeter… cheater) were the current administrators at the time. I can’t remember whatever happened to cheater, he was very outspoken, and even flamboyant to say the least. Friendships were inevitably made over time, and when ‘section’ moderators were implemented for the first time ever on sythe.org I was made one of them- a market moderator.
I can’t form into words the sheer excitement of waking up on a Saturday morning, to find that you are a part of the annual promotions. There was a lot of pride involved in my work- as trivial as it all may have been. As market moderator I exceeded in duties, and maintained strong relationships with Mitz, Draculaz, Jewsus, and Jansen. We became the ‘five’ stooges of our time, tasteful, APPROPRIATE trolling if you will. Jansen conceived the infamous ‘Wimbledon virus’ , and while totally fictional we made it seem all the more real.
One day I announced that this ‘wimbeldon virus’ was spreading very rapidly, and majority of members may have already been affected. I posted a simple image- a totem that basically distinguished whether or not you have already been affected by this malicious virus. If this image was to appear in your signature- it was too late. Jansen then went into the mod panel and manually placed this image in dozens of member’s signatures- mass panic struck and we eventually broke the news of the hoax. Mind you this only lasted about an hour, but an hour on sythe.org five years ago was a lot more intimate and lively than as opposed to now.
Mittenz proposed quite the controversial scheme to staff one day; “how about we announce a recall, basically suggesting the refund of an event that did not actually take place. Those who submit and claim they want a refund are therefore falsely applying and will be bannedâ€. Questionable? Absolutely, I can’t recall if we ever proceeded to actually doing this.
Promotion
In Summer 2006 , Steph bestowed one promotion- my transition from market moderator, to global. Keep in mind that I was thirteen when I joined, and maybe fifteen when I had left? I am clueless to this day how I attained such success at an early age- I suppose we were all young at the time, and so our ignorance and incompetence was left unhindered because ultimately- regardless of age human beings can always kindle some sort of integrity to something they truly care for. This was the magic of the community, a utopia for youth, ran by youth.
Months went by, and as always I stayed on top of my duties, taking control of the report a scammer forum and in collaboration with Jewsus introducing for the first time ever the ‘Tunes Analysis’ forum. All was well, and when I spoke- I was heard. Suck My R2H – SMR to most of you.. was still a wee little section moderator at the time. I saw his promotion personally to global moderator- and ever since then he has had an unflinching allegiance to me which I will always cherish and commend him for. Turns out him and I both live in the same city, weird huh?
Ego
I’ve been studying the forums as of late for a while now- and with all respect, ego is unavoidably something one with power will attain, and personally; I got carried away.
Global moderator, such a title.
I was even bestowed my own rank- ‘Zombie’ in reference to my own website at the time zombiesandpie.com. Again, clueless and utterly embarrassed over the tripe name, and although a youthful phase I can laugh about, it is not one that lingers with me so much as the atrocities I committed around the same time.
I became arrogant, lets get this out of the way point blank. With everyone looking up to me and with the newly found power I became thick headed and stubborn. I won’t admit to corruption, or even decaying love for the community- it was simply that my intolerance for some people grew and grew, until it was uncontrollable.
On Christmas eve, I had one too many drinks with a few friends. When I arrived home I evidently condescended one of the members of the community blatantly and with total disregard to the principles of being a moderator. My flaming was relentless, and I tore into him and I don’t know why. I woke up the next morning on Christmas day to find that Sythe had personally demoted me. I was oblivious to what I had done and when I read my post that he linked me to I was overwhelmed with guilt. I made amends with the victim and bagged sythe for my position back, which he declined. Although I understood why it had to be done- It was a dishonor I couldn’t endure.
100M
Gold was what initially brought me here In the first place, and gold was seemingly my demise.
My reputation on sythe.org was surprisingly unaffected by my widely renown allegations. People even sympathized, and SMR strived to get me back on the team. Jansen announced his retirement the day of my demotion, and the repercussions I had brought to the community were unbearable. This was all a blur to me, I knew nothing but shame- and I wanted to escape. By manipulating one of the gold sellers at the time, and influencing him with my power- I scammed 100M , and I intended on getting caught. I was banned, and days later out of ethical awareness I refunded my victim. His duty was to allow me an escape from the community whether I was looking for a temporary break or a permanent vacation.
2010
Its been four years since my last public appearance, and a lot has changed. I saw it best to avoid intertwining real life issues with community focus, although there were few segments in my life that heavily influenced my rise and fall on sythe.org, and my attempted coming back.
Lately I’ve been getting odd sensations of nostalgia, and because this site was an immense part of my youth I have found myself back here, in desperation to once again establish some sort of contribution to this community. I’ve always enjoyed message boards, but this one takes the cake and I have never really felt at home with any other site. I do NOT think pardoning me would be a detriment to this community- I aim solely to become involved In discussion and direction and I have no intentions of making my way into the marketplace. If necessary I request that you even present me some sort of rank to spread awareness of my past crime, a huge, ugly red marker stating that I am not to be trusted with any sort of transaction even- I really don’t care- be creative!
I suppose most staff will not recognize me as I am before their time, so technically sythe would have to do the pardoning himself… and this is what frightens me most. I have read staff mini-bios and I can very much relate to that of verts, and Finn especially. I hope that Sythe does not hold a grudge towards me, if anything he probably does not remember me and I am merely flattering myself to think that he would.
I swear to you that four years has sharpened my character, I swear to you that four years is enough to mould someone into a law abiding member. I would not have taken the time to write this confession (years later) if I did not have genuine interest in coming back. I am actually fortunate, to have waited as long as I did, because only now do I feel like I am TRULY ready to conform and embrace this community- without the teen angst I once had.
If I am in fact pardoned, I am unsure as to how we would arrange everything. I believe the email confined to my account x0x0 Lt was hacked long ago ([email protected]), I still have my original email [email protected] and I can identify myself by any means necessary. I think its fair to say that I should not jump to conclusions about my success with this pardon yet- but if I am deemed safe enough to be allowed back into the community and you need further evidence of my identity i can provide it.
Notes:
-I apologize for the formatting, wrote in microsoft word and copied/pasted, so my little essay really doesn't get the justice it would via the right application.
-There was an incident where Sythe had to erase the database, bringing us back months at a time. My original post count was something like 11000 when i left, my name was changed, avatar was different, and msn was different- hence i am unable to remember the password i used when creating the account (to sum things up)
- I haven't embellished a thing. This is a recount of my past history here on sythe.org, and the events mentioned were actual happenings and not added for dramatic effect. Reading this over again i was actually very vague in detail, but there is really no way to induce you to the early years of this community.
- I am not looking for sympathy because of my veteran status- i am merely asking you to forgive and forget a past travesty regardless of my stature here. I originally pre meditated my attempted second coming to be in the community general forum- upon finding this newly appointed board i thought it would be more appropriate here.
To those unaware (review my profile as if it is a historical document, NOT a reflection of who i am today. Most of my time here was lost with Sythe's latest sweep of the archives) ;
