Biggsy UK
Biggsy UK was a Game Leader on the forums for Xbox and OGame that caused a great amount of Drama on the Sector Alpha forums. Because of a long list of issues (created by him), he was demoted down. Here are the last two blog posts (by himself):

You know, many of you will now that I came to this alliance completely out the blue and rose the ranks quite rapidly. This has alienated many, but of those who I have actually spoken to I hope to have left a good impression. Fact is, I've done everything by the book and I've done everything that I know to be the right thing to do for SA. Yet injustice prevails, and I have been demoted. I've been accused of plotting against SA, acting against the interest of SA - sounds like I've treasoned. But this is my defense, one which I have not been able to give. This decision was made over a few hours.
I'm all for authority, and non-tolerance of trouble makers, as my recent encounter with Old Man showed when he claimed that Britain is an 'authority' with no freedom, and that USA has 'real Democracy'. Blood backed me up on this one, and he backed me up on other occasions as well. But the moment I step 'out of line' this is what has happened. So the message is clear - you must inform him at all times of what you're doing, and what you're going to do, and make sure that you do not criticise his project because he'll nip that stuff on the butt right away. What an example.
I have filled a hole in SA, and they're digging it right back up. I've done the following:
On Xbox: - Recruited in excess of 30-40 members - Set up a clear platform of development on Xbox 360 - Lined up Game Leaders, Main Game Leaders, and an Epic Game Leader to manage SA 360 - Improve SA chances of maintain an Xbox 360 base, with the support of a professional 'Strike Chain System' group for professional players, and SA 360 for casual.
On OGame: - I have kept wallaces seat warm - Exceeded expectations of me by doing 'more than expected' (- ancient's words) - Set up the Defense Team to protect members who are of a low rank and need assistance against bandits - Set up the Enlistment Centre to increase members - Set up the Diplomatic Corps (was working on) - Set up the Coalition of Ordered Governments alliance for smaller alliances looking for a neutral, but safe, ground in SA (was working on) The 'was working on' parts have had to be ended prematurely and never got off the ground because of these actions.
Also: - Given advise and scrutiny to SA, so that they can build upon constructive criticism. - Helped drive recent reforms - Supported SA members when they have needed assistance.
If they want to dig up this whole, I'll grab a shovel and help because honestly this is becoming stupid. I've spent well over 24 hours on these forums helping out where I can, and getting support.
So why did Ben kick me? Well it's because apparently someone took a screenshot of me plotting against SA. A screenshot?
Below is an image of a screenshot that I took of one of Ben's messages. I have edited it. I am not a computer wizard, or know anything really about websites or developing etc - but I've made this, and it was easy. It has one swear in btw so I've put it as a spoiler for those who don't want to see.
[REDACTED]
So when told this Ben changed to say he no longer trusts me because I was acting outside the 'structure' already laid out. But any console gamer can tell you that they have to adapt to ever changing circumstances, and need to try new things to keep things fresh. It's as simple as that. And as Ben made it quite clear to us that he didn't really want to 'govern' SA, and let the Core take care of policy, I didn't bring this to his attention. What an outrage! Biggsy, following orders - what's he doing! He must be demoted.
It's unjust. Hope some can see this.

Toy Soldiers

Being kicked down to the bottom of the food chain has opened my eyes a bit. I've been sitting here wasting my time pretty much. Playing Xbox, using this, OGame - w/e. I thought to myself a week ago "What in gods name are you doing?" and I couldn't really, with honesty, answer without making it sound pathetic or coming up with an excuse. It's sad how this is what I've become - it never should have been this way.
So this has been a wake-up call for me, and I've actually got up and done something. We all play toy soldiers on the screen and it's not like we've accomplished anything, or moved forward in life. We just reload it and do it again for our amusement. This is not another run-off of my deleted blog btw - I'm not going to start going on about how we glorify death or anything like that what I said in the other blog. No, what I am saying is that we've spent too much time on the computer. I can definitely put my hand up and say I've spent too much time on the PC and Xbox. Can you? I mean if you're reading this blog you're probably thinking all I chat about is criticism of society, or doing something to upset S.A when I'm not. But I'm not trying to impress any body on here either because I don't give a **** what you all think about me - and that's the truth. Would my life be affected in the slightest if I pissed off all of you and got kicked? No. Would my life change if one of you insulted me? No. It's not that I hate you or anything, it's just why are we here? What benefits are there in the long run in being here? Well - for a young man like me there's none. Especially when you take in to account that I also have a life outside this screen, outside this text that I'm writing here. I have Education to commit to, Sixth-Form. It's not your run of the mill geek who's life evolves around the computer. But then again 'geek' really doesn't suite the kind of audience I'm point at. We're all spending too much time watching TV or on the PC these days. So this is me telling you that I'm sorting it out. I'm writing this simply as a courtesy.
One of my biggest goals in life is to serve this country; in politics. I've taken History, Politics and Economics. I do well, but my grades are a bit week - B's in History and Politics, a C in Economics (so far). I've retaken them. One thing I can say is that I've not backed down to these grades, I've retook them all - I pretty much re-took all the exams from AS without having anyone teach me, and I think I actually did better. Why? I spent less time on this bloody laptop and got some work done - and that's exactly what I'm going to do. But I still think I'm lacking direction, lacking vision. Perhaps I'm in the wrong political party? You know I've changed party's about 3 times in the past 2 years? First Labour, then UKIP, then Tory, and now I'm back to Labour haha. Who knows, maybe next year I'll be a Liberal Democrat! It's because I've never really found the kind of 'drive' towards politics that I've been longing for. I mean sure I want to be the Prime Minister, but who wouldn't want to be if they had the option to? We're changing peoples lives here, for the better or worse and it's our actions that will swing the pendulum of success or failure. Our actions as young people will pretty much project what future we can achieve, through our lyrics, our writings, our studies, our words, our way of life, our intelligence - us, we, human beings. Do you expect the world to give you your fruits of efforts?
We live in a hostile and unforgiving world with so much evil, pain and suffering these days. You need only to turn to channel one at 12 to see the violence that we commit to ourselves, the human race - our friends, families, brother sisters cousins. If there is one thing we can all do is try to make this place a safer place for ourselves, and future generations to come. And this is one reason, from the fairly extensive list of reasons, that I'm dropping my politics. I'm dropping my PC (almost literally) and my Xbox. And yes I'm dropping SA to serve the country in a way I know makes our country safer through the actions of brave and courageous men and women, every single day. When your head hits the pillow, our troops are out fighting. And I'll be standing with them soon.
To put a conclusion on a fairly loose blog, we've got to do better than this. Our future depends on our actions today - which frankly are wasted here. Don't let these soldiers die so that you may spend another hour on this. Shift your arses, and march for the future of our next generation.
