Why didn't I get a notif from this? And I agree with this, however you have to understand that what krypto said isn't implausible. We don't know what happened, other than affixes sus and the staff resigned.all i can really say for everyone (and this isn't just for you) is don't be a sheep, instead, you should formulate your own opinions and ideas before hopping on the bandwagon. a lot of people in this comm are consistently doing this and hopping back and forth based on one-sided stories and instead should be more patient before freaking out and deciding you hate random people when you don't actually know what happened. no hate to anyone but this is tiring and completely pointless, especially for those who are towards the end of their teenage years and have more important things that they should be worrying about (specifically non-minecraft drama related things)
too lazy to read what you typed but me and all my Alpha brothers know how Luke is and how he will be a terrible staff since he got ever got promoted/accepted, and his wrongdoings isn’t just in this krypto case so like shut up bozo +1 ratio W W W you’re making a fool out of yourself for defending Luke and Lumboc.aight. it's been a while since i've written an essay on the forums. i don't even want to partake in fruitless minecraft drama anymore as i've moved on to doing other things (as all of you should too) but i won't let things that aren't true be said about my friends. this is my point of view on what's been going on
first of all i think this is an extremely dumb situation to continue dragging on and that everyone should just move on with their lives, whether that being continuing to play the server or not continuing to play the server. i don't want to start shit and i know some of y'all (the main ones i'm concerned for are my close friends, which i hope this won't change things between us even though i know it will, although it really shouldn't have gone this far) are gonna get pissed at me over this but i'm tired of sitting and watching untruths get spread about my friends when i honestly believe they don't deserve it.
not true, and i'm only saying what she has told me directly, and she said that she was uncomfortable continuing to make flirty jokes with you (as you guys did tend to flirt all the time) due to you talking to girls irl. she told me that you got very pissed off at her and started to argue with her over it, despite there being no real reason to as you were both clear about not wanting to e-date. there's nothing wrong with wanting to stop flirting and, as a close friend of hers, i can very confidently say it had nothing to do with luke. she didn't even want to stop being friends, but you were trying to fight with her (apparently) over it and couldn't solve the problem. both of you having poor communication is why your friendship failed, not because of luke.
i'm fairly sure it didn't, as far as i'm aware she only started speaking to you around when we both got staff, which wasn't a year ago. it lasted more like 5ish months tbh but i could be wrong
it was a running joke within our (me, the girl, and luke's) friend group to joke about our relationships and even get advice from each other regarding our irl and online endeavors. we were all v close and liked to joke abt shit and tell each other to not edate random internet kids as all 3 of us had a history of doing so. there was honestly nothing weird about it from either her or my point of view and i'm honestly disappointed you'd use her to attempt to ruin lukes reputation when, as far as i know, you were the one to fight with her when she calmly wanted to stop flirting with you. luke, again, had nothing to do with that decision
he did not do anything of the sort- again, as a very close friend of hers, i can confidently say she did this on her own without consulting anyone about it (not even me) until after. he didn't even know she blocked you until he read this thread. you and i both know she's impulsive and does things for sometimes no reason, and blocking you was one of these things. when she explained it to me she said that she just wanted to move on since you guys weren't reconciling. which again, to my knowledge, was because you were being rude for what i've been told was for no reason other than due to you overreacting to her setting boundaries. boundaries are healthy and important to have and should be respected, and you also violated my boundaries (which i'll get to later). that along with seeing how you spoke so spitefully of her and insulted her whenever you wanted to talk about the situation with me, made me find it very believable that she didn't lie to me
if you want to continue arguing that it was because of him, i'd like to see evidence proving your theory as i've honestly seen nothing at all that indicates your statement is true. it's unfair to the community (whom you're trying to prove to that luke is evil and manipulative) that you have nothing to back this claim up
this is extremely over-exaggerated and you know it is. i wish you wouldn't use your former friends for your own personal gain like this. there was no "reassuring" needed regarding you and her's friendship, and all of it was jokes. you're making him out to be some creepy guy who's infatuated with teenagers' e-relationships when he clearly isn't and has never been.
again, i've been told directly from the friend that it was you who fought with her and caused the problems when all she wanted was to have boundaries. i saw no evidence of anything else but that, but i still wanted to be friends with you despite all of it. the whole situation with you and her fighting made me extremely uncomfortable as i was basically the middle-man and i feel like i should mention that while she respected my boundaries to not speak about it and to just leave it alone and move on (as hearing my friends talk shit about each other made me upset), you would consistently bring it up and pressure me into telling you "information" about what she had been saying etc and not dropping the topic despite me asking you to multiple times as it made me upset. you guys were my closest friends at that time, and having to hear you insult her every day (for a certain period of time, it eventually stopped) was so draining for me
i'm not saying any of this because i hate you or dislike you, i genuinely enjoy being friends with you and having each other to confide in about our milestones and secrets and just being able to vibe together as you've been arguably one of my more closer friends for a long time. but i hope you'll understand (as you mentioned one of your core values being loyalty) that i can't sit back and see a situation regarding all my closest friends be falsified like this.
moving on from that bit,
this is not true at all. all they wanted was to help the server as they truly care for it and i see nothing wrong with that. they stood up against him with you & fought just as hard as you did, and when they received manager they took a larger role in running things from affixes and affixes took a large step back (as he should've done a long time ago) because of them while they worked to make better changes. when there was something they didn't agree with, they told him and if he wouldn't comply they knew they were going to quit. that doesn't seem very pet-like to me.
all of you also claimed to really love the community and the server, but and then got upset that they were trying to make an effort to keep it going? i never understood the logic and when i asked for a better explanation of your thought process, i was always told that if i didn't immediately understand it that i was never going to get it.
as i said before, i was consistently told by them that affixes knew that if he didn't comply with how they wanted to run things, they would quit. they were just trying to help the server and took a large amount of running it from his hands (again, because they didn't agree with how he ran things and wanted to do things better because they genuinely cared for the community and wanted to give you guys what you wanted, not what affixes wanted) before his demotion occurred. they wanted him gone and disagreed with him as much as anyone else did?
i think now is the prime time to remind everyone that kvids and zack willingly resigned, citing specifically that they didn't want to be here anymore and didn't want to give the server another chance. it isn't luke nor lumboc's fault that affixes was a shitty manager and they should stop being blamed for it
for context regarding their resignation, we had this extremely long staff meeting where we told affixes every little detail that he needed to improve upon in order to be a better manager. immediately after the meeting, kvids and zack assured affixes they still wanted to resign and didn't want to give affixes or the server any more chances and specifically stated that they wanted to focus on IRL stuff anyways, which is completely reasonable. but when other people, who are just as genuinely dedicated and caring as they were are promoted afterward, everyone is suddenly upset at them and blaming them? let's think about this in a proactive way. what did you want to happen? what would've been better? y'all keep saying "BRING BACK ZACK AND KVIDS!" but they have said themselves on multiple occasions that they think the server is dying, is a waste of time and that they don't want to come back, so that's not a realistic case to continue making when hating on luke and lumboc. i see no issue in those two wanting to try to keep the server running and i hope others can agree that there was clearly no malicious intent involved in this. as people who log on and play the server every day, i think you guys can decide for yourselves that you'd rather have two people who have been around for years at the head of the server (being led by hayech as well- so they aren't even running it alone) rather than the server not being alive at all. i just don't understand why this is such a big deal lmao. you say you care for the server and want the best for everyone, but you've made it extremely clear you'd prefer it dead than have *anyone* be a manager
considering that multiple former staff members had abused their perms, i don't see the fact that they wanted to question those who had given their alts gmc in the past (which they saw with logs) as being a disturbing decision. they were prioritizing the security of the server, and i get that it may have been insulting, but it was also insulting when you interrogated me for information regarding the situation with the former friend and other various things which i won't name here. i'm not saying this to make you look bad, but to help you understand their pov when they called you asking questions and then comparing it to when you did something very similar with me because i really do want you to have a better understanding
never ever did i get angry with you over any of our issues nor did i hold anything against you despite the multiple situations where you wanted to fight, either with me or with my other friends. i just wanted to, and still want to just chill. i'm not saying any of this to fight with you, but to just share my point of view and give my thoughts as i think a lot of this was twisted into falsehoods.
yes, lumboc may be more of a "yes man" when it comes to things but he does have experience owning and managing servers and working with files, etc. he may not make the best decisions on his own or have the most extravagant or successful ideas, but he still can help and does help behind the scenes whereas others might not have as much experience. i see no issues having someone on the team who's willing to help and knows (sort of) how to ?, especially if there are other managers and staff members to give him ideas/guide him. he hasn't done anything wrong (that I know of) or harmed the server in any way, so what's the issue here?
this is my most important question in this whole shitty reply that i'm writing, and i'm asking this to be proactive and to also understand: what do you want to come from this? what do you personally think will help the server most?
if you can't give a proper, decently fleshed out, helpful idea for this, then it's clear that you're solely trying to continue drama and not trying to find any sort of solution for the server
I don't mind criticism whatsoever, especially against people who have actually done something wrong, and if you had gone the extra mile and found solutions and made suggestions on how to move forward, i probably wouldn't have written a reply at all, but you went about this in the wrong way.
i also feel the need to clarify before someone says something about this, none of what i've written is criticizing you for resigning. that's completely up to you and is your choice. i'm only criticizing what you've written here to hurt my friends' reputations.
---
a couple of replies to the other replies before i go to sleep:
(would've done more but its 12am on a school night and i'm so over this)
all i can really say for everyone (and this isn't just for you) is don't be a sheep, instead, you should formulate your own opinions and ideas before hopping on the bandwagon. a lot of people in this comm are consistently doing this and hopping back and forth based on one-sided stories and instead should be more patient before freaking out and deciding you hate random people when you don't actually know what happened. no hate to anyone but this is tiring and completely pointless, especially for those who are towards the end of their teenage years and have more important things that they should be worrying about (specifically non-minecraft drama related things)
dont hate on della man tf did she do to u
oh, i see now.? yikes bro
i'm going to be brutally honest here and say that if you're acting petty like this and openly putting her down her solely because you've been envious of her position, i don't blame them at all for denying you. i would also like to add that some of the former staff members who aren't around anymore didn't want you to be staff either and were vocal about it to higher-ups, so it's not just management who was wanting to hold you back looool so don't be bitter at only them
(her getting staff and others not making it didn't have anything to do with capacity btw. nobody was denied so that she could become staff, she got it because she's experienced and has proven over the years that she's capable. it's not just bc she's female. i can smell the misogyny from here bro)
-
some closing thoughts that i want to add for everyone who's watching this pointless shitshow go down (some things being unrelated to this thread but since other than this i'm probably not gonna post many other things, i may as well just throw my final reflections in here)
- some/most of the people you (the community) are saying would do a better job and should come back and replace the current team blatantly abused before leaving. i'm not gonna get into it tbh but you say they care for the server and the community but a lot of them really don't lol
- constructive criticism is powerful. if you don't like something or someone, add a solution into what you're writing and it'll make your argument so so much stronger. again i wouldn't have written anything had this been the case the entire time
- again don't be a sheep, formulate your own opinions and go against the grain if you genuinely believe that it's the right thing to do
- stop wit da block game drama and move on, i promise you'll feel a million times better
hope the people who know me will be able to recognize that none of this comes from a place of malice and only comes from a place of care and honesty. lov u guys no matta what, hope we can all move past this
also sorry if something doesn't make sense, it's late. gn y'all
It’s sad seeing you go bro.Introduction:
Hello everyone, this is Krypto and I have recently stepped down from my position as a senior moderator on the InvadedLands network. I will be discussing the reasons why I resigned and what problems there currently are. I will be explaining events in chronological order and elaborating on them. P.S I am not coming across as hostile in this thread, I am just saying how it is.
4th September 2021:
A girl within this community, who I was good friends with, had our friendship ruined by Luke. This friendship had nearly lasted a year, which shows what it meant to me. Mentioning her name is pointless- it adds nothing to the table. Essentially, this girl was also close friends with Luke and me at the time and me and this girl had a good friendship, there was nothing more to it. I had no intentions to e-date her or anyone in general as I dislike the concept as it’s quite strange and definitely not my thing. Anyways, I made it clear that I wasn’t e-dating her or going to e-date anyone. I was just close friends with this girl. We made our funny jokes together, however Luke decided to ask the girl why she was speaking to me and making jokes like that. Even though it was none of his business initially to get involved, as it was quite inappropriate of him in doing so, she said to Luke that we were joking around and not going to ‘e-date’. As this carried on Luke became more curious and suspicious for what reason? Luke constantly asked and prompted the girl to stop talking to me as she might end up ‘e-dating’ me. We were 15 and 16 year olds just joking around but he was very concerned that she was going to end up ‘e-dating’ me, even though we made it clear that it’s never going to happen. I was even more concerned as to why he kept getting worried even though we re-assured him that we weren’t going to ‘e-date’, not like it was his place to even get reassurance about our situation. Anyways, there was much going on behind the scenes of Luke and her speaking, of which I am convinced and certainly know she was manipulated to stop being friends with me and block me from all platforms. Overall, why does he have to involve himself in a situation where a 16 and 15 year old are joking around, even after we reassured him that it wasn’t going to led to anything. This truly reflects who Luke is as a person (manipulative), and I was quite shocked at the time that he did this. This also might be a shocker for everyone who is close friends with Luke too, I am sorry that you had to read this. I did not think that he would go as far as ruining a friendship like that. It was only now that I really had the courage to speak up about this, whilst trying my hardest to forget about it for some months now.
This screenshot provides relevance to the situation, as it happened at the time. You can see me at the time, I was quite emotionally hurt and heated when Luke got involved. However, it may seem weird as she deleted all her messages.
September 8th 2021:
As you may know this is the date when affixes was stated as manager. The whole drama with him being a bad manager led to the staff team coming together and actually co-operating to remove him. This involved me working with Luke, which was quite hard considering what he did to me in the past. But I had to deal with it as I actually cared about Invaded so I worked with him to get rid of affixes. We called everyday pretty much and kind of became more like what staff are supposed to be. However, this didn’t last long as we hit a stage where everyone was convinced affixes was not going to get demoted. All the staff stuck with their original opinion of not wanting to work with affixes, as he’s a horrible person, therefore most of them resigned. I stayed but did not work with him nor communicate with him, during this time I was messaging Skeppy on telegram about affixes which ultimately lead to his demotion. However, Luke and Lumboc during this time decided to work with him and essentially be his pet to get the manager rank. As they knew once Zackyyy and Kvids resigned they used that as an opportunity to ‘capitalize’ and get a manager rank. This clearly was a back stab and one of my core values is loyalty, and I was very disappointed in them for this. They valued rank over friendship. After what affixes did to us and ‘their’ friends mentally, they decide to go and work for him.
October 4th 2021:
Luke and Lumboc were promoted to manager by affixes. I was truly disappointed at this stage onwards. Not only did they ‘snake’ me and our friends, but they are totally not fit for this role and how they treated me during their tenure was highly inappropriate. By my comment regarding they are not fit for the role, I mean they lack vast amounts of knowledge such as not knowing how to do unlinks, which are senior-moderator duties and I even recall Lumboc asking how to do unlink appeals not that long ago but now he is a manager?? This truly demonstrates their lack of knowledge and unworthiness in holding a managerial position. Their performance too during their previous ranks is highly questionable as they rarely did any blacklist appeals and Lumboc probably did around 30 max in his 2 years of being a senior mod. To put this into perspective, I got senior-mod in August 2021. I did around 300+ blacklist appeals, and yes I did know how to do unlinks! It was highly frustrating seeing this happen, and no I wasn’t jealous, I was just disappointed. It’s sad to see that two prodigies (Zackyyy and Kvids) with vast amounts of knowledge and actual capabilities as a manager go to waste and are being replaced by people who lacked dedication before and all of a sudden had motivation once they could capitalize a position as manager.
October 5th 2021:
This date is also known as the strength 2 outbreak. Someone with access to gamemode (not me) spawned many strength 2s in the map which caused a lot of questions between the managers. After a while, they established that it was someone who spawned them in because at the start they were completely oblivious and thought it was a duels glitch. But, once they found out who it was they blacklisted strength 2s. Case closed right? Well apparently not.
October 14 2021:
Now you can see I was like if it is urgent I will attend. But later I realized they just wasted my time and a poor management decision by them led to this. So, they asked why my alt had game mode 1 month ago, which is understandable. I gave my explanation of testing purposes with Zackyyy etc. Then Luke brought up a story of him seeing ‘Chainkiller’ with strength 2 potions last map, before the outbreak of this strength 2s map. By saying this, he implied that the time he saw Chainkiller last map having strengths was at the same time I had game mode, which is complete nonsense. Meaning that I supposedly started all of this. If he really saw Chainkiller with strength 2 last map, which he didn’t because I would know, Luke would’ve ACTED at the time to report it and took the strength 2 away. But no he didn’t, this is because Chainkiller didn’t have any strength 2s last map, in fact no one had strength 2s last map and he was making up stories to tarnish my name. The fact I had to defend myself with a story made by Luke was absurd. I also find it bizarre how Luke was worried about a strength 2 leak for, which had already been resolved on a dead and broken map. Instead he could’ve done something way more productive such as listening to suggestions for reset etc or implement mini updates. Just another example of him making poor management decisions, let alone not knowing how to do his admin duties previously.
Luke had also blacklisted me during this time:
This was the most vacuous way to go about this. I was honestly laughing at this point and couldn’t take them seriously, zero professionalism at all. Why would they blacklist me when there were way more smarter alternatives to go about this if they were scared about me leaking items. Him blacklisting me caused way more problems with trainees coming up to me and asking why I was blacklisted and it overall created confusion for no reason. Once again, another example of Luke’s vacuous decisions as a manager.
Lumboc during this period had no idea what was going on and was just being Luke’s ‘Yes Man’ and agreeing with everything that he was saying. This is self-explanatory for Lumboc of how he is not a good fit as a manager and played a part in all this, as he never took time to formulate his own opinions he just took Luke’s side.
The constant pattern of them only talking to me for something bad which they make up and I end up debunking was demotivating. I don’t want to constantly fight off two managers being fueled by lies. They never come to me for something positive, it’s always a negative talk which I cannot be asked to put up with anymore. For example, when I pin down blacklist appeals I never get any commended, nor do the other hard-working staff members who do their work. In fact, this is my big thanks to the community as most of you are the ones that actually motivate us, thanking us, telling us we are doing a good job, instead of the managers who should be.
Present
Given my explanation above, this is why I resigned. For people who are reading this, I have revealed the other sides of them that you might not have noticed. I do not want to be working under two people who mistreat me, constantly on my back and that are not competent for their role. I do not see the server going anywhere, given what I saw (which I won’t disclose in courtesy of the network) but yes they do not know how to function. You guys can also see that the server will not be progressing with them in power too. I also find it sad that Hayech has to work alongside them, because ultimately it is not his fault for the downfall of Invaded as he has to rely on two liabilities. I honestly didn't think I'd have to take this route in making this thread, but if they treated me like this, so be it.. Keeping them two as a manager was a big mistake, and they have now lost me.
Pce - BabyKrypto
tbh, to me, you're the one in the wrong. Csyre said many times that she wasn't hating on anyone in her thread and wasn't here to criticize Krypto or anyone. If you read it, you would see she's simply saying facts to give people another point of view because you shouldn't judge someone just like that without proofs and without others points of view because you may have been fooled. I'm not critizing you either, but just understand Csyre who tries to make people understand the situation isn't exactly like Krypto said in his thread.too lazy to read what you typed but me and all my Alpha brothers know how Luke is and how he will be a terrible staff since he got ever got promoted/accepted, and his wrongdoings isn’t just in this krypto case so like shut up bozo +1 ratio W W W you’re making a fool out of yourself for defending Luke and Lumboc.
“as a very close friend” LOL OH GUYS WATCH OUT SHES A “VERY CLOSE” FRIEND WITH THEM!!!! OH GOD SHE CANT BE WRONG RIGHT?? Holy moly matias just shut it, the entire community has seen it, how much Luke and lum fooking boc did. to the server, when someone needs support they’d be the last person to show up and help and everyone knows that, quit trying to justify their bomba wrongdoings
ok?Hey! I believe it is only proper for me to make a comment on this. I completely understand the outrage, concerns, and bewilderment. Everything that has occurred in the previous month has been extremely chaotic, stressful, and ultimately upsetting. I personally do my best to be liked by everyone; yet, I understand that not everyone will see me favorably, which is very fair.
But there are a few things I'd like to express. (To be clear, I'm not defending myself here. I'm only sharing what's on my mind.)
First and foremost, no one is in the wrong here. Not Krypto, cSyre, or anybody else. Everyone is expressing their point of view, which is completely reasonable, and when I consider things from Kryptos' perspective, I can see why he created this post. There had been a number of conversations with Krypto up to this point, some less important and others more so. Looking back on our previous chat, I was being the 'yes guy,' which I am most of the time. I always have my own viewpoint, and if I do have something to say, I say it out loud, but in that circumstance, Luke was the one who did the majority of the talking. However, again if there's something to comment on, I try my best to do so.
I've read a number of remarks about Luke and me that have raised worries about power and other issues. Now, I can't speak for Luke, but I'm sure his thoughts are similar to mine. However, I believe he will respond to this as well later.
To begin. I agree with you all. My activity hasn't always been great. There have been instances when I've been too focused on other things or busy with things. I've occasionally assisted more behind the scenes, and after becoming Admin, I took over the position of Discord Staff Manager, which was something I was passionate about. Since then, I've delegated the DSM role to Didgo, and I'm confident he has big plans for it! Everything went down a bit after I became Admin. Affixes was promoted to manager, and you're undoubtedly aware of the rest of the story. The majority of the staff resigned, but Luke and I remained. We wanted to stay and assist Invadedlands to get back on its feet, even though we never truly agreed with affixes and had considered leaving for the same reason as everyone else. I've always had a special place in my heart for Invadedlands, and I didn't want the server to die. Luke and I went to affixes and made it absolutely clear that we wanted to help, but that if we weren't listened to, we would quit immediately.
Luke and I were quickly promoted to manager as a result of this and therefore I understand why people are upset about this. The transition from Admin to my current role happened faster than I could have imagined. So people being upset is more than reasonable. This, however, comes with power, and I see why people are concerned that we are power-hungry. Again, I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure Luke feels the same way.
I have no intention of taking advantage of my position. My personal objective is to recover the InvadedLands we love, as well as to ensure that this actually happens and is achieved. What I want to do is listen to the people in the community. I'd want to hear what everyone else has to say, what recommendations you might have, and what you want to see for InvadedLands so that I can implement it if the majority of people agree. I consider myself to be a really down-to-earth individual who wants to go out of his way in order to assist others and I hope that's something I can prove.
To wrap things off, I'd want to point out again that this is not a defense of myself. I've shared some of my views, and I hope you'll take the time to respond with some feedback or thoughts on what I said. I'll try my best to answer everyone as fast as possible, but given that I've been on vacation for the past two weeks and I'm coming home this Saturday, I may be a little slower with responses. I will, however, get to them.
Again, please don't hesitate to ask any questions or point things out by replying to me on this post, sending me a forum DM, or messaging me on Discord (Lumboc#0922). If you have any personal questions or feedback, I'm open to pretty much anything.
kinda wanted luke to respond but okHey! I believe it is only proper for me to make a comment on this. I completely understand the outrage, concerns, and bewilderment.

I consider myself to be a really down-to-earth individual who wants to go out of his way in order to assist others and I hope that's something I can prove.
To wrap things off, I'd want to point out again that this is not a defense of myself. I've shared some of my views, and I hope you'll take the time to respond with some feedback or thoughts on what I said. I'll try my best to answer everyone as fast as possible, but given that I've been on vacation for the past two weeks and I'm coming home this Saturday, I may be a little slower with responses. I will, however, get to them.
Again, please don't hesitate to ask any questions or point things out by replying to me on this post, sending me a forum DM, or messaging me on Discord (Lumboc#0922). If you have any personal questions or feedback, I'm open to pretty much anything.
EDIT:
I quickly want to say that I know that this might be a bit out of context to everything else in the post, however, it was something I wanted to mention.
I know he is working on a reply (if not done with it), however, he's asleep right now, and I'm sure he will post it when he's awake.kinda wanted luke to respond but ok
Working on a reply? bro we know this is true, Krypto used to be my enemy and wasn’t as active as when he was staff, when he got staff I don’t think he logged off for 2 weeks, he genuinely became such a chill person and. Krypto would not leave the staff team over him “lying” as he truly enjoyed the role of being staff. It’s sad to see that he was basically FORCED to leave because of how toxic the place became. Is it not obvious the server needs to be shutdown, or revamped. Close server for a month, just 1 month and work on it, get new managers, maybe bring back old ones. Work on a reset and get a group together. All I can say is I’m sorry Krypto.I know he is working on a reply (if not done with it), however, he's asleep right now, and I'm sure he will post it when he's awake.
oh my god youre clueless, if you were in the community long enough, you'd know what Luke did in the past, this is also why I said his wrongdoings isnt just in this case, i'm too lazy to read what that csy or whatever person typed to know if luke and lum is in the wrong or not. I just know for a fact there are many cases that shows both of them are useless and using the server for their personal advantage. Again, youre probably too new to know it or you just never heard of it. but everyone who has a brain would know luke and lum bomba boc isnt fit for manager if not just staff in all cases.tbh, to me, you're the one in the wrong. Csyre said many times that she wasn't hating on anyone in her thread and wasn't here to criticize Krypto or anyone. If you read it, you would see she's simply saying facts to give people another point of view because you shouldn't judge someone just like that without proofs and without others points of view because you may have been fooled. I'm not critizing you either, but just understand Csyre who tries to make people understand the situation isn't exactly like Krypto said in his thread.
go crazyoh my god youre clueless, if you were in the community long enough, you'd know what Luke did in the past, this is also why I said his wrongdoings isnt just in this case, i'm too lazy to read what that csy or whatever person typed to know if luke and lum is in the wrong or not.

tired of people who has no idea about everything trying to defend the people who are clearly doing something wronggo crazy
*grabs popcorn*Introduction:
Hello everyone, this is Krypto and I have recently stepped down from my position as a senior moderator on the InvadedLands network. I will be discussing the reasons why I resigned and what problems there currently are. I will be explaining events in chronological order and elaborating on them. P.S I am not coming across as hostile in this thread, I am just saying how it is.
4th September 2021:
A girl within this community, who I was good friends with, had our friendship ruined by Luke. This friendship had nearly lasted a year, which shows what it meant to me. Mentioning her name is pointless- it adds nothing to the table. Essentially, this girl was also close friends with Luke and me at the time and me and this girl had a good friendship, there was nothing more to it. I had no intentions to e-date her or anyone in general as I dislike the concept as it’s quite strange and definitely not my thing. Anyways, I made it clear that I wasn’t e-dating her or going to e-date anyone. I was just close friends with this girl. We made our funny jokes together, however Luke decided to ask the girl why she was speaking to me and making jokes like that. Even though it was none of his business initially to get involved, as it was quite inappropriate of him in doing so, she said to Luke that we were joking around and not going to ‘e-date’. As this carried on Luke became more curious and suspicious for what reason? Luke constantly asked and prompted the girl to stop talking to me as she might end up ‘e-dating’ me. We were 15 and 16 year olds just joking around but he was very concerned that she was going to end up ‘e-dating’ me, even though we made it clear that it’s never going to happen. I was even more concerned as to why he kept getting worried even though we re-assured him that we weren’t going to ‘e-date’, not like it was his place to even get reassurance about our situation. Anyways, there was much going on behind the scenes of Luke and her speaking, of which I am convinced and certainly know she was manipulated to stop being friends with me and block me from all platforms. Overall, why does he have to involve himself in a situation where a 16 and 15 year old are joking around, even after we reassured him that it wasn’t going to led to anything. This truly reflects who Luke is as a person (manipulative), and I was quite shocked at the time that he did this. This also might be a shocker for everyone who is close friends with Luke too, I am sorry that you had to read this. I did not think that he would go as far as ruining a friendship like that. It was only now that I really had the courage to speak up about this, whilst trying my hardest to forget about it for some months now.
This screenshot provides relevance to the situation, as it happened at the time. You can see me at the time, I was quite emotionally hurt and heated when Luke got involved. However, it may seem weird as she deleted all her messages.
September 8th 2021:
As you may know this is the date when affixes was stated as manager. The whole drama with him being a bad manager led to the staff team coming together and actually co-operating to remove him. This involved me working with Luke, which was quite hard considering what he did to me in the past. But I had to deal with it as I actually cared about Invaded so I worked with him to get rid of affixes. We called everyday pretty much and kind of became more like what staff are supposed to be. However, this didn’t last long as we hit a stage where everyone was convinced affixes was not going to get demoted. All the staff stuck with their original opinion of not wanting to work with affixes, as he’s a horrible person, therefore most of them resigned. I stayed but did not work with him nor communicate with him, during this time I was messaging Skeppy on telegram about affixes which ultimately lead to his demotion. However, Luke and Lumboc during this time decided to work with him and essentially be his pet to get the manager rank. As they knew once Zackyyy and Kvids resigned they used that as an opportunity to ‘capitalize’ and get a manager rank. This clearly was a back stab and one of my core values is loyalty, and I was very disappointed in them for this. They valued rank over friendship. After what affixes did to us and ‘their’ friends mentally, they decide to go and work for him.
October 4th 2021:
Luke and Lumboc were promoted to manager by affixes. I was truly disappointed at this stage onwards. Not only did they ‘snake’ me and our friends, but they are totally not fit for this role and how they treated me during their tenure was highly inappropriate. By my comment regarding they are not fit for the role, I mean they lack vast amounts of knowledge such as not knowing how to do unlinks, which are senior-moderator duties and I even recall Lumboc asking how to do unlink appeals not that long ago but now he is a manager?? This truly demonstrates their lack of knowledge and unworthiness in holding a managerial position. Their performance too during their previous ranks is highly questionable as they rarely did any blacklist appeals and Lumboc probably did around 30 max in his 2 years of being a senior mod. To put this into perspective, I got senior-mod in August 2021. I did around 300+ blacklist appeals, and yes I did know how to do unlinks! It was highly frustrating seeing this happen, and no I wasn’t jealous, I was just disappointed. It’s sad to see that two prodigies (Zackyyy and Kvids) with vast amounts of knowledge and actual capabilities as a manager go to waste and are being replaced by people who lacked dedication before and all of a sudden had motivation once they could capitalize a position as manager.
October 5th 2021:
This date is also known as the strength 2 outbreak. Someone with access to gamemode (not me) spawned many strength 2s in the map which caused a lot of questions between the managers. After a while, they established that it was someone who spawned them in because at the start they were completely oblivious and thought it was a duels glitch. But, once they found out who it was they blacklisted strength 2s. Case closed right? Well apparently not.
October 14 2021:
Now you can see I was like if it is urgent I will attend. But later I realized they just wasted my time and a poor management decision by them led to this. So, they asked why my alt had game mode 1 month ago, which is understandable. I gave my explanation of testing purposes with Zackyyy etc. Then Luke brought up a story of him seeing ‘Chainkiller’ with strength 2 potions last map, before the outbreak of this strength 2s map. By saying this, he implied that the time he saw Chainkiller last map having strengths was at the same time I had game mode, which is complete nonsense. Meaning that I supposedly started all of this. If he really saw Chainkiller with strength 2 last map, which he didn’t because I would know, Luke would’ve ACTED at the time to report it and took the strength 2 away. But no he didn’t, this is because Chainkiller didn’t have any strength 2s last map, in fact no one had strength 2s last map and he was making up stories to tarnish my name. The fact I had to defend myself with a story made by Luke was absurd. I also find it bizarre how Luke was worried about a strength 2 leak for, which had already been resolved on a dead and broken map. Instead he could’ve done something way more productive such as listening to suggestions for reset etc or implement mini updates. Just another example of him making poor management decisions, let alone not knowing how to do his admin duties previously.
Luke had also blacklisted me during this time:
This was the most vacuous way to go about this. I was honestly laughing at this point and couldn’t take them seriously, zero professionalism at all. Why would they blacklist me when there were way more smarter alternatives to go about this if they were scared about me leaking items. Him blacklisting me caused way more problems with trainees coming up to me and asking why I was blacklisted and it overall created confusion for no reason. Once again, another example of Luke’s vacuous decisions as a manager.
Lumboc during this period had no idea what was going on and was just being Luke’s ‘Yes Man’ and agreeing with everything that he was saying. This is self-explanatory for Lumboc of how he is not a good fit as a manager and played a part in all this, as he never took time to formulate his own opinions he just took Luke’s side.
The constant pattern of them only talking to me for something bad which they make up and I end up debunking was demotivating. I don’t want to constantly fight off two managers being fueled by lies. They never come to me for something positive, it’s always a negative talk which I cannot be asked to put up with anymore. For example, when I pin down blacklist appeals I never get any commended, nor do the other hard-working staff members who do their work. In fact, this is my big thanks to the community as most of you are the ones that actually motivate us, thanking us, telling us we are doing a good job, instead of the managers who should be.
Present
Given my explanation above, this is why I resigned. For people who are reading this, I have revealed the other sides of them that you might not have noticed. I do not want to be working under two people who mistreat me, constantly on my back and that are not competent for their role. I do not see the server going anywhere, given what I saw (which I won’t disclose in courtesy of the network) but yes they do not know how to function. You guys can also see that the server will not be progressing with them in power too. I also find it sad that Hayech has to work alongside them, because ultimately it is not his fault for the downfall of Invaded as he has to rely on two liabilities. I honestly didn't think I'd have to take this route in making this thread, but if they treated me like this, so be it.. Keeping them two as a manager was a big mistake, and they have now lost me.
