I first joined ROBLOX May 2009, and I spent most of my time just playing Solar Conquest and hanging out. There I met a lot of different people who actually have become famous in clans, such as Artia44. Eventually, after groups came out, I decided to follow Artia into UCR. I never got a highrank during my short tenure. Eventually, after dboot sold the group and UCR plunged into the "dark ages," I joined benblue9 in RHC. Over time, I earned a high rank in RHC, and I decided to stay in it with donkeyo4 as leader after ben left to lead UCR again. From December 2009 to March 2010 I worked for RHC, eventualy becoming the Vice President. When D4 got RAT, the relationship we had already established allowed me to get a high rank there. For a long time, I was the second highest rank in RAT, ultimately becoming SiC. In April 2011, however, I was exiled from RAT, and soon trick555 was asking if I wanted to become the next leader of UCR. I gladly accepted this position. Over the next 9 months, I would work through difficult situations to try not to restore UCR but to redefine the clan in a new image. I believe that, when I finally retired in February 2012, I had more or less achieved this goal. Following my resignation, I left ROBLOX for a few months to pursue various other games, such as Afterwind. When I returned at the very end of April 2012, I saw that many people were upset with Cake. I once again returned to my role as dutiful highrank to help Cake bring UCR's activity back up. Finally, June 17th 2012, my second term began, as Cake passed me the group, confident that I would be able to return it to its destined course.
Why hello there my fellow UCRians. It's been a great deal of time since I've sat down and actually talked with you on a "broadcast" message, either via the forums or a shout. Times change. When Grown asked me to write about my times on ROBLOX and in UCR, I felt a little taken back - there's no possible way that I would be able to give you my time on this game, and the enjoyment I've had in UCR, in just five-hundred words. So, instead of me giving you EVERYTHING that I've done in UCR (I've been active since the first day I joined in the beginning of Benblue9's most known era), I'll give you some words of advice and some stories to go along with it. As some of you may know, I did own UCR for five days. I had to give it up to someone due to real life issues. UCR is the only thing that I've really ever cared about on this game. Hopefully most of you will feel the same. During my time in UCR I have progressed as a leader on this game, thanks to UCR itself and the Clans and Guilds forum. Becoming a HR was hard, but it's much easier nowadays. The key is not to care about your rank - it's just an added bonus. What you should care about is the clan, your friends, and yourself. While in UCR you will meet new people, make new friends, and you will expand yourself in the clan world (if that's what you chose to do so). Nothing can stop you if you put your mind to it. Learn clan history, learn to lead, learn to fight, learn whatever you want to make your time more enjoyable. Raid with your clanmates, laugh with them, retaliate verbally with them, become closer to them. Clans on ROBLOX truly make times more enjoyable. If you are in UCR and you are reading this, just know that I wish I could've known you. I want you to become the future of the clan world, and I want you to lead UCR to a brighter day. Take it out of its rut. When you hear history of this great, historic clan, think of all the members who came before you, and strive to be someone who has helped UCR. Even if you don't get a high rank, a loyal Officer who is friendly amongst all the ranks is better than an anti-social high rank. Learn from your mistakes, be kind, yet strict, and remember that you were once and always a UCR member.
I have been in the UCR for a little over three years now. My previous account was Jcdufus, former VP (throughout a few different eras.) I have quit a few times and regret all of them. UCR is the place for me, there is no place I'd rather be. I will do anything to contribute to this beautiful clan, and I will do anything to protect it. My favorite UCR memory is probably when I was in an election against Benblue9 for President. I still believe, to this day, that he cheated by alt voting; but even when I felt that way back then, I served by his side as his VP. I will admit, I was very hurt when he chose his third in command, Trick555, to take presidency instead of me, but also glad, because it was I who started Trick's career by giving him his first promotion. Most people in modern UCR just know "Rat uniform!" *Point, shoot, satisfaction* however back when we were battling the mighty X101st, the battles were filled with such emotion, such-- anger towards eachother that you wouldn't believe that it was only through a game. We all know that ROBLOX has changed in the past three years. Whether it's for the better, I'm sure everyone has an opinion; but if you ask most veterans, they'll say "bring back '09."
Well, I joined Roblox back in 2009 and at almost the same time I joined UCR as a classic member! (Yay me! C:). I've witnessed literally every Era of UCR, from the dark days of when ShatteredDestroyer had UCR, to us being the top dog of the clan world in 2009 with Kinglime, I was first promoted to a rank that was considered a 'high rank' by ThePhantomHourGlass (now Benblue), and from there I have continued to serve UCR as a high rank for many years. I left UCR for a period during TDFall's era (well officially I left, doesn't mean I wasn't on an alt :D). And reacquired a High Rank pretty quickly with our simple promotion system of, you can earn a promotion at the end of a training. I became the Head of External Affairs during Trick555's previous era, and I've continued to hold that position to this day. I love UCR deeply, and it's been an honour and a privilege to serve UCR as a high rank. We as HR's are nothing without the support of our members, there would be no clans without it's members. May we all continue to prosper.
I first set off into the wonders of the shield in 2009, at the time I was a regular noob who played paintball and obbies; I had no thought in my mind I would ever attain such a powerful rank in the future. I was easily fascinated by Kinglime's wondrous master pieces from all of his places, when I had discovered he had created United Clan of ROBLOX I quickly joined. In 2009, I knew nothing of clans, I was in the first 500 members to join with a couple of friends such as Paintball100. I never cared for UCR nor was I even slightly active, I was a silly kid then. As Dboot98 got power and got UCR, I bought his edited uniform and truly began my path in UCR; I went to his "futuristic" forts, places, participated in UCR events and everything. When I had learned I was no longer a member in UCR when Soccerp98 AA'd, I was devasted and blamed myself for my stupidity. I quit ROBLOX for I had no purpose to play it anymore. I returned again in 2010, to see the wonders of Benblue9 and the familylike atmosphere in UCR. His peace keeping community, amazing yet intelligent HRs had made me think, "How can I make myself like them?" I tried against all odds to keep myself active and helpful in UCR, slowly yet steadily approaching closer and closer to each rank and discovering the aspects and principles UCR was being ran on. I cannot describe my excitement and emotions toward these eras, it was mixed and different. Yet I will say, never give up, don't surrender yourself, fight for justice and the shield, for one mistake doesn't make a future less brighter, one mistake welcomes a set of successes infront of you. Furthermore, when Benblue9 owned it was amazing, it was just so good to be in UCR - everyone was kind, joyous, and helpful no matter the situations. When Trick555 and Benblue9 ran for Presidency I had easily supported for Benblue9, and he had won. Yet sadly his activity and progress was declining, and when the next election came up, I voted for Trick555. Trick's era, oh god, the memories and the milestone I have EVER made. I have made amazing friends like Mattapplestar, Rosy09, Jazzyx3, Happystar555, Growncool7, and many more, many whom I still converse with. We had fun wars, such as the RAT - UCR war during the late mid 2010, and the flame that was going on. The UCR* situation to the RFA problems, from Donkeyo4 - Trick555 conflicts to Pspjohn1 - Trick conflicts, it was all amusement. I had reached a huge milestone in my career soon enough, I have become an Officer of the Shield; Growncool7 and I declared ourselves Head Officers, even though it was a position we created ourselves and enjoyed ourself. When TDFall got UCR, I got far more mature and learned the differences and flaws of ROBLOX Designers, making my decline in activity again. Yet fear not, toward TDFall's era I had finally achieved a huge achievement in which I still cherish today, I had gotten the rank "Senator" and against all odds, everyone who told I could not, I had done it. Yet 3 days after, UCR - SCR war had occured, and a conflict grew on the SCR wall of me spying on UCR for them; obviously it was a lie yet I was suspended for one week. When I was reinstated as Senator again I was active as I ever could be, from defending Orion/Fort Falls to hosting trainings. I had learned something I never knew before, "Life brings hatred, traitors, and depression, yet the way to move on is to hang on to what makes you happy, and that is what will make you stronger" After 1 week of my Senator rank, there was admin attack, and I was suspected to doing so. After I was demoted, I gave up on the shield, which I regret majorly and set off to different clans. I returned to see UCR's progress towards Cake's era yet made my reappearence in TDFall's 2nd era, in which I had gotten HR quickly and thank everything to TDFall. I was a {H1} Low Council, a rank that I was proud of. Yet the familylike atmosphere of UCR was fading and most of my friends had quit, a sad day after all. After a month I got {H3} Director, Head of Homeland Security and did my job properly. When TDFall retired I was sad, it was like a friend leaving you forever. Anywho, when TE got UCR, I declined in activity once again, yet still trying to my duty properly, it was a surprise I wasn't demoted. When TE went inactive, a few HRs and I tried to raise the morale of UCR; which failed horribly. When Trick555 got UCR, I was proud to say my history was being reigned in future, old friends came back, and Trick did amazing. Yet towards end of his era he too, had gone inactive giving Poisonlava UCR. I started the era with slight inactivity making it up again and trying to regain everyone's trust. Poisonlava one day was chatting with me, and with enjoyment I was told I was being considered for VP, yet it was against my friend ROBLOXHAMTAH. When the day of the election came, Hamtah vs Killer, I was on my seat eager to see the results, I knew Hamtah would have been a more successed leader yet I had not given up hope. In the end, I had achieved the best thing I could ever dream of, VP.
Don't forget UCR, even if bad times occur is it not for a negative, a positive result occurs after a negative result; do not give up hope, for the shield!
I have been in UCR since the very beginning. I wasn't very active,and was an extreme noob,until around August in 2009. After that,I slowly started going up the ranks in Ben's era. I finally reached the officer rank,I'm guessing it was right before Summer of 2010. During the Fall of that year,I was finally going to be in a Promoter election,which was a new thing at the time and promoter was the old senator rank. Unfortunately,a few weeks before my election,Ben quit UCR and gave it to trick. Trick didn't start the election back up until around a month later. Finally,I was in an election. I got almost every vote,as in there were a total of about 5 votes for the other candidates,and I had 33. But then another problem occurred apparently Trick never approved of the election. Finally,Trick had an official election with me in it. I won,with a score similar to that of the unofficial one. I won every re-election that I had. After several months as a leader,Trick held the first and only council election. The two with the most votes would win. After a few weeks of very hard debating,the elections had started. It was very tense because I was competing against Rosy09 and Happystar,who were two of my best friends. The results were in,and Rosy won first place while me and Happy both tied at second. In the end,we all won. Afterwards we had a huge party. This was the era where I really shined as a HR. Eventually though,I started considering quitting. I told Happy about this,and later that night there was a huge admin attack. Everybody was accusing me of it because I was thinking about quitting. Even my best friends thought it was me. Eventually I was demoted to officer because Trick though I did it too. The admin attacks stopped,I think someone was trying to frame me. Eventually trick repromoted me,but I still quit soon after because so many people hated me now,and the fact I just got back from vacation and everything seemed dull. I rejoined roblox again during the beginning of TDFall's first era. I easily got up to pro this time,and then took the officer exam. It took me 3 tries,but I passed. After becoming an officer,I soon was nominated for senator elections. I lost the first one,but the next week I won. I was senator for several months. There were several re-elections after that,and I won first place in every one. I eventually was banned for 14 days. Right after getting banned,TD messaged me on xf saying "congrats on council". I was using trick's alt pinkeh at the time,and I checked the council and I was there. Over the 14 days,I started to loose interest in roblox. Once I was finally unbanned,I became very inactive,and eventually quit. I rejoined in the end of Cake's era,around July this year. I never quit,so I was already officer. About 3 weeks later I was a senator again. Once TD became president again,I was instantly council. By then I wasn't able to be a council because I had friends and life to manage. I decided to quit roblox,this time for good. At the end of September,I came back. After that,I was able to get from L1 to L8 within 9 days. I took the Mx exam and passed on the first try. Right now I am an officer,waiting to take the captain test.
