The End Of Ape

Listen as you read for emotional affect

 

Alright people, looks like the time is finally here. The day is upon us, and the reckoning has arrived. I'm resigning. For some of you, this sucks ass. For others? You are happy as hell, and to that I say! Only virgins hate me. So live with that.

Anyways, just wanted to make it clear that I am not leaving because of trouble and I'm not leaving out of pettiness. I'm leaving because I am simply a busy young man and need to do thing I enjoy and simply put it- I don't enjoy this server, and have not for a long time. Speaking of time, let us take a little trip down memory lane, shall we? Keep in mind, I have been here 3 years so I cannot tell you all of my stories and all of my events but a brief timeline, I can provide.

 

Here I am, November 2019. I joined the server and played as a DCLASS main for a few weeks before participating in a tryout for the most legendary DCLASS CC ever, D7025. It was a tournament bracket using lead pipes to PVP. I along with one other won it and were granted access to D7025, one of the few jobs on the server that posssessed Molotov Cocktails. I would go on to play this class as "Chris Brown" and create a group called the "Tunnel Snakes" which would have maybe 9 or 10 people change their names to match mine, and prioritize holding the armor whilst shouting "Tunnel Snakes Rule!" It was hilarious, and at the time Gensec was my public enemy number one. 

 

 

Eventually however I would join Security with the name "Security ofc Mike Ocksucker" and was trained by a command member named Dread. Ofcourse I later changed my name to "APE" On account of the monkey noises I made whilst in combat. Nothing really eventful happened until I reached the upper NCO ranks, when a great many things went down. In this time frame, a player whos name starts with "P" and has an association with penguins would wreak a lot of havoc and cause some of my friends to get into trouble, namely a young guy named "Vegan", she would cry at the meeting before Christmas of 2019 and it was a great start to the new year, with a new weapon. The 2019 Christmas hammer. I used this hammer and it became more or less a symbol of mine for a long long time. I remember around this time as well there was a fellow NCO of mine named "SM Sixx4Teen" who was denied Warrant Officer. What did I do in retaliation for my friend you may ask? well it's simple really. I engulfed DBLOCK in Hellfire. I threw Molotov's everywhere and got chewed out but frankly I didn't care, I felt like he deserved it. You'll notice that throughout my my story, compared to most players, rules were not quite my forte. After this time went on, nothing absurd happened. I played the game, met people, and became a senior NCO. However as a SM,  I met another very important person in my journey. A JNCO named Sinnik. We were talking about custom classes within TS one day and he approached me, saying he would be down to make one with me. We talked it over and became serious when others wanted in. So it came to be, that we made the third security custom class after the Command Only ones. We called it "Invictus Sentry" or in Latin "Unconquerable/Invincible Guard" I made the name and description, and you will see this Roman theme arise again later down the line. Anyhow, moving on. 

 

Why was Sinnik so Important? Well he would end up becoming command, even though I had tried and applied 5 times before he got it. I loved em though, great guy who knew how to be serious and funny at the same time. I like people like that and stuck by him through thick and thin, if nothing else, I'm loyal to a fault. This paid me back well when all of HCMD was removed, and Sinnik made HOS. He gave me warrant officer after I had been a SM for 6 months, and after trial period, I was given a double promotion to 1st LT. This only made me more eager to follow his lead as a good fist and shield to bump around with. 

I would move up to Captain, and around this time (early summer of 2020) branch relations were really bad between CI and Gensec. So bad that when two stubborn players got into a quarrel, all hell broke loose. A CI HCMD named Boozle tried to frame me and get me in trouble, and it turned back on him and became such a big infight between branches that igneous had to settle it. In the end, I remained and he was blacklisted. However I was put on a Perma KOS in CI as well as Blacklist. Reason being that as a class D I probably killed more Chaos then the foundation itself. I never appealed it, though I could have. It was a pride thing for me, and so time went on.

It was in this period that Wardens was founded by Sinnik, and I was appointed the DHWD. I used the white/snow camo skin as we all had to use a different one, however once Sinnik left and Sixx became the DHOS, I was Securities Second HWD and set about making the branch as interesting as I could. After Sinnik went Saiba, and Creamey as well. Sixx became the HOS and I was his COL, and at this point I was a really good command. Fast rising and never passed in a promotion. However as I spent months as COL, I grew bored and caught up in real world affairs, and grew distant to my duty. It was at this time that Jack S, whom I had mentored became DHOS, making him the first person to ever pass me. I was not disappointed though, I was proud. If not me, then someone I guided. 

So many things happened afterward. There was an attempted coup against me and Sixx, and these people who tried revolted labeled me a "Cog In The Machine". It was as a COL that though My impact may have seemed little, I did the most I ever had. I was the one who proposed many buffs to security and drilled in the need for HP and Armor for both my Wardens and the Non Command. I invented new prospects for my Sub Branch and voiced a training video. All the while I did it my own way, unafraid of consequence. That is what I will get into now, the way I played the game.

Unlike most people, I didn't follow rules eagerly. I was a minge, I RDMED, broke NLR, cussed out people, and T-bagged the ever living shit out of everyone. I was loud, obnoxious, and uncaring to those who did not pass my vibe check. I cut trees with my chainsaw in dblock, and ran through HCZ killing HSU's as "Security LCPL Pisskink. I went to surface to hunt CI as a dog, and sold my HCMD to Dclass, I burned people with maintenance torches, and extorted money out of Kids in my branch. Micspamming, singing, and making people do the cupid shuffle in Dblock. If there is one thing that I want everyone to know, its that I did not play the way others wanted me to, I played to have fun.

The amount of times I have almost been removed is innumerable, and the amount of drama I have thrusted myself into is close to infinite. However despite all this, despite all the enemies I made, why, why did I not get removed? I'll tell you, I was kind to those who showed kindness, and served my branch without fault. Despite all of the bizarre shit I have done, I made a positive impact on the branch and those who were above me knew that I was not a wreck, but a construction of unparalleled unpredictability that had always fought tooth and nail for security even if it made me look bad. 

My message to the SCPRP community is this. The rules are fine, follow them. Do not be unironically mean, do not be a dick. However those rules can bend, they are not stone, they are plywood. As long as you do not do anything cruel and abusive, and everything is in good intentioned light hearted fun, you will be able to stave off the inevitable boredom that will befall you the longer you stay here. Make it a goal to have fun, this is a video game, the objective is not to play a job simulator. That is what I feel has been lost since 2019, I feel like everyone has made this about as Serious RP as this server can be. If you have been around for as long as I have, you too know full well what I am talking about. It's all tight lips, by the book and law. I want everyone to listen to my words when I say to make this a game and a hobby, not a task and a chore. If you keep it a downtime rather than a duty, you will find fun in places you would not have before. Thank you Gaminglight, for the Friends and memories that I have been blessed with. I hate you and love you, but mostly hate you with love. xD 

-Colonel Ape, Monkey Man, 6 Month SM, Cog In The Machine, Spartacus

 

Sinnik: Thanks for everything you did and everything you started, thank you for giving me the chance to do all I did.

 

Sixx: You are a tough kid with a good head on your shoulders, I am glad that I met you when we were NCO's and am happy things turned out as they did. You can do anything you wished if you tried hard enough, that's the kind of person you are. 

 

Mind: Oh My SWEET SWEET MENTOR, do not weep for me. Not like you would, you are probably delighted to not have to drag me into TS for any more "You know what I'm about to say" talks. You are a nice guy, and that is your only problem. Be more vocal and assertive for the things you want, fight.

 

Jack S: My mentee, Congratz on how fare you have reached. You are a smart kid and your knowledge of Rome is respectable. I am glad that you are the one who made it past me all that time ago. Keep living.

 

Georgie: Bonded with you fast seeing as we were the oldest members in command. You are a good guy and I know I'll be seeing you around on steam. You are the Yin to My Yang, My fellow Colonel. Get DHOS for me.

 

Sprink: You and me are kindered spirits, but somehow you are obnoxious 24/7, you never failed to make me laugh and I always enjoyed your company.

 

Warmercarp: You are a whiney and subby little bitch, but I appreciate you and all the help you have provided as my secretary for the wardens branch.  

 

Ashe/Plant/Ass: You're all good Majors and can do a great job. From my example I hope you learn what you can and cannot do, but also how much you can do whilst having fun.  

 

Low Command: To the few of you that are active and eager, keep it up and don't exhaust yourself.

Wardens

You are my child and I have given everything I have to you, Do what is best for Wardens and do not let it die. If you see in Wardens the same possibilities I did, then you will surely understand it's vast importance. Wardens Lead the way, 2ND HWD SPARTACUS CH4D, Signing off.

Goodbye Gaminglight, and Goodbye Security November 5th 2019 To October 3rd 2021.

Glad I could be here along with you for this ride. While I may have joined rather late into your time in Sec, I'm still happy I could help you have fun whenever possible.

Ape, I will never forget the fond memory's in Security that you made me have. Not only do I remember that one time where you were screaming "GET OUT OF WAY" while killing Security during a nuke (Turns out it was a false nuke) but, there is so many more that shaped Security to this day. I appreciate when you gave me CPL, SGT, and SFT. Thanks Ape for everything you have done for me and the rest of Security.

[a_krew10]

When I first joined security, you were the man who showed me how much fun this server could be. While you may not have noticed it,  i can guarantee you that almost all of your allies always had fun with your personality.  I will miss you man and so will security

Damn no mention of me? I can't thank you with enough words, how many times you've been there or got my back when it was most needed. You were one of if not the most reliable security member there was. Fucking love you man, take it easy. Ohio Gang O7

[Sixx]

Ape, you were the realest mf in all of Security, We've really lost one of the Greats in Security's history on the server. You always made sure that when you were on people had FUN and that's something not many people do on the server. It's been one hell of a ride man on this server and i'm glad that i've spent it with you around in Security. To all the drama that unfolded back in the day, to the fun moments, and the times that we've had to defend Security from being nerfed into the ground, I can say in full truth, you are a legend of Security. I hope to keep in touch with ya man, and show me around New World, will ya? 

Anyways, here's some great moments with you in Security CMD and some Memories;

It was removed in the draft, un momento.

 

[Mind Stone]

We've lost one of the greats. I recall the discussion we had prior to you getting WO where only a handful of people wanted you in command. To my knowledge it was only Sinnik and I. I have no regrets for the part I played in that decision. After looking at DM's apparently I requested to be your mentor lol. I was terrible but I'm glad you turned out somewhat alright. I'll save you the memories of my bitching and nagging about the stupid stuff I had to yell at you about and I'll skip towards the end. You and I were stuck in COL for the longest amount of time and I understand the pain of the rank, being able to do so much yet so little. I wished that eventually you would make it up to HCMD but I pondered what you would do. As I once told you, you'll be either one of the greatest HCMD in Security history or one of the worst. Guess we'll never know.

Ape, you have the least empathy and are the most stubborn person I know on the entire server and I don't understand your strange humor. Funny how always thought you were chill. You'll be missed within the branch my friend.

And then 2 remained.

See ya ape, the end of an era. Veni, vidi, vici in its truest form

And thus we've lost another one.

Ape, as much as I interacted with you, which wasn't very much, you were always such a pleasure to be around.
In and out of security, you were such an amazing person, and I'm glad having met you.
I wish you the best in all that is set before you! Take care my friend!

[xX_Assassin_Xx]

You were honestly one of the bravest CMD members of us all. I remember when i was a newly fresh JWD, i was getting pick on back when branch relations weren't strong. You stood up for me and the other wardens and tackled something not any other person would do. You jumped on their case and finally wardens was able to stand toe to toe with MTF. Honestly you have left an impact on both me and security as a whole. I remember when you were a yellow highlight with a hammer playing music while marching towards D-class with us behind you. Man those were the good times. You were a real one, may where ever you go shine glory. Like how you have shined the glory of security.

if it wasn't for wardens, i would've left security a while ago. thank you.

but my question now is, who is the new head warden?

[MexicanGuy]

Was a good run Ape, maybe we dont talk a lot, you may have told me shitty thing, but overall you were a good member of this community,  was funny when we rush dblock . I hope all in you life goes well, Stinky Ape.

[Hoovy]

One of the craziest guys we've ever had apart of this community. Was always a trip being around you and listening to you and the absurd scenarios that came out. One of the greats and will be missed like the legend he is.

Stay awesome, APE.

all hail glen

Someones cutting onions.

For real though, good luck in college sir. It truly was a treat being involved and seeing all the things that you and I pulled on the server. There wasn’t one where I didn’t laugh my ass off. Wish you the very best in life.

Godspeed King

I'll miss you bro

@Sixx

We were the 3 musketeers, Ed Edd and eddy, the three stooges, the three blind mice, the power puff girls, along with robin, Batman, and Alfred combined. Before I left we were the only 3 players left in security since 2019, and now there is only two of you. Eventually it will be none and that will have marked thousands of players and dozens of command that passed through security all forgotten to the books and rules. However I hope what we made together will last, so even if those in the future don’t know of its origin, they will still look upon our work and appreciate it. 

[Kvist]

I have a deep seated respect for you, despite only knowing you in GENSEC for a month or two. Your passion was infectious and I loved hearing your streams of consciousness every Warden meeting. I guess the way to describe you would be a force of nature. It was fun having some small part of that.

I wish you the best.

[FusionThunder]

Damn this hurts to see man. 
I know we didnt have many interactions but I always thought of you as a good person. 
you were one of the reasons i joined wardens and im happy that I did. 
Never change man. The shit you did made me laugh my ass off every time. From the ugandan knuckles jokes at my first meeting to the gutteral yelling we did on wardens. It was truly a pleasure.

Good luck in life man. I wish the best
