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.
