Anyhow, recently my friend’s Geoff and Trevor opened up a Minecraft Server for their site OrbzGaming. Things went well until a user decided to get into my Minecraft account and ‘test out the server. Later on we found out that he had not actually been into my account, but I will explain this in fuller detail later. So Geoff later informed of the situation and then about an hour later a User under the Nickname of ‘Expert_Builder’ Logged on. We did not know who he was, but we thought nothing of him. Eventually this person got on our nerves. We had all had a very stressful day anyways, and we took out our anger on this person. We should not have done so, but we did not think rationally and did anyways. Anyways, after this point many things happened to our server. We were griefed, we were attacked, ‘hacked into’ and then today we finally found out that it was all Expert_Builder’s doing. We also found out that he was not actually getting into our accounts, but rather using a client to trick our server into thinking it was us.

After this point things went downhill, we turned off the server to prevent further attacks, but then things moved to Twitter and Xat. To put it in short, Geoff’s Twitter and Xat were compromised and Expert_Builder now has control over both. He later threatened over Xat that anyone involved with the OrbzGaming Minecraft server would also be hacked.

Normally, I would not take such threats seriously. But seeing as how Geoff’s accounts were so easily taken and also seeing how the server defenses were easily bypassed, I decided that this was not a threat to take lightly. I tried to apologize on behalf of all of us, but this person did not listen.

So, in a last ditch effort to stay relatively safe, I have decided to take a break from the internet. This means I have hidden my YouTube account, and defended my Twitter as best as possible. I have also made sure to change passwords to all my accounts, and destroy as many trails leading to my personal life as possible.

Does this mean I will be totally inactive on the internet? It may APPEAR that I am inactive.. but I will be checking frequently to see how things are going and whether or not this so called “storm” has blown over. No matter what though, I do plan to come back. If my accounts are compromised, then I will start over. If nothing is solved, then I will still come back. Basically, I will not be gone for long. I am giving myself at the most 3 weeks to fly ‘under the radar’. Once that time is up I will come back and try my best to stick around and do what I love to do best, entertain you all.

So, hopefully you understand my situation more. If you have any questions then feel free to PM me on my YouTube account.

I hope to see you all VERY soon

-Nathan

So what did I get done today? Several things. Since I know some people like to have things listed, I’ve made a bulleted list below.

• I have completed 1 new CP video (Which will be released on Saturday)
• I have made much more progress on my Minecraft Custom Adventure Map.
• I have made a bit of progress on animation for my Minecraft Video series.
• I have successfully made myself a sandwich.
• I have been working a bit on my 2nd channel.
• I  started on another 2 CP videos
• I made this post to inform you all on these wonderful occurrences.

Now I understand that a lot of you may have some questions.. and maybe even complaints.. so I’ll answer some questions here.

Q: Why did you come back?
A: I came  back, not because I loved Club Penguin and playing the game, but because I had fun making videos for people to enjoy!

Q: Why didn’t you tell us you were still on Twitter?
A: I didn’t think it was necessary.

Q: Why can’t I view your channel?
A: I may be back… but I do not plan to open my entire channel to the public just yet.

Q: So now that your back… will you stay and make Club Penguin videos FOREVER?!
A: No. Like everyone, I will someday loose interest in CP video making. I don’t want to be the 20 year old who still plays a child’s game.

Q: 20 year old? Are you 19?! o.O
A: Of course not. I am 14. I am just stating that I will not play the game forever.

Q: Will you still be making CP Movies?
A: I am unsure of this at the moment.

Q: In your video… you mentioned that you would be making other videos… what do you mean?
A: What I meant was that I would not only be focused on CP video making like I was before. I will now be focusing on other things as well.

Q: What are some examples?
A: I will be making Minecraft videos, along with live action videos, Vlogs, ect.

Q: Was this entire “Quitting forever” Thing just a big stunt to gain attention?
A: No. I am not an attention seeking idiot. Although I was an idiot for saying I was quitting forever… I quit in the pressure of the moment.. when I was very stressed and was not thinking clearly.

Q: What kinds of things do you have planned for this summer?
A: Keep reading and you will find out

Q: Do you still work for MSF?
A: No. I quit a week or so before I left the internet for a month.

Q: Why would you quit MSF?! They are the best people out there!!! you could be famous!!!
A: Well, I do not believe in fame on Club Penguin… I also did not do much for them and their views so I left and made some room for other videomakers who have more potential.

Q: Have you considered joining again?
A: It has crossed my mind but I don’t think I will be working for them anytime soon.

Q: Now that your back.. will you work with me on a video?
A: Sorry, but no.

Q: Why not?!
A: Because I do not work well with others when it comes to their ideas. I try to improve them without asking.

Q: When you quit again… will you quit EVERYTHING!?
A: I have no intentions of quitting YouTube in the future… though eventually I will quit Club Penguin.

Q: I have more questions and none of these answer them. Can I ask you some?
A: Go ahead and comment below and I will gladly answer them!

Now then… What does the future hold? Well… I plan to make some big changes to my YouTube accounts content. Not only will I be producing Club Penguin videos… but I will also be producing some Minecraft videos and maybe some other gaming videos. Basically, Zpopcicle98Z will be an entire channel dedicated to only Videogame videos. However, Zpopcicle98Z will not be my ONLY channel… I will also have a new channel dedicated to Vlogs, live action videos, and anything else I may come up with. Now for the plans for this Summer… I plan to release (hopefully) one Club Penguin video a week… along with the occasional Minecraft video in between. I also plan to become more interactive with the people who watch my videos… so that they are no longer just subscribers.. but friends as well I have many more things planned.. but I have to keep them secret.. I don’t want to spoil anything!

So thank you for reading and I hope you can forgive me for the confusion I caused.

So, on what I believe was Friday Night of last week, I was on the MSF Community xat Chat, talking with Geoff, George, Lauren, and anyone else who may have been there. As per usual, a fight broke out. This one however, was the straw that broke the camel’s back. George quit MSF, Geoff closed MSF, I declared I was leaving the internet, we all thought we were killing ourselves, and several other dramatic things occured. Of course, everything was solved barely even 24 hours later. Everything except for my leaving. At the time when I said I was leaving, I had meant it… but I realized later that I was being irrational. Still, I continued to say I was leaving and I continued to make plans for when. Why did I do this? Because I had announced to the entire world through Youtube, this blog, twitter, and several other sites that I was leaving and would not be coming back. Since this is not the first time I’ve done this I decided I would keep it up and that I would get over leaving the internet later. I kept it going because I did not want to look like some idiot trying to gain more attention. Trust me. These were not my intentions when I did this.

This past week however I’ve been thinking about it more and more. I still planned to quit, but on thursday night, the night of my quitting, I found a box filled with scripts for movies, shows, and more. This is what convinced me to stay. So I’m here to stay. Now to get to the point.

I’d like to apologize for all the drama I’ve caused. I want you all to know that I did not do this intentionally in the hopes of gaining some attention. I am deeply sorry for whom ever may have been affected by this emotionally or in other ways and I hope you can all forgive me, but if not then I can understand, for this is not the first time I have done something stupid like this.

Anyways, now that I am staying, I decided that rather than re-inhabiting my Zpopcicle98Z youtube account, I will be starting fresh, with 0 subscriber, views, ect. and making a new channel. Why? Because I feel its time I did. My Zpopcicle98Z channel is only based around club penguin and now that I am moving on from that, I feel that I must move on from the channel as well. When the new channel is made I will post the link here, and I will be putting one last video on the Zpopcicle98Z account for it.

So once again, I am so sorry for the drama and I hope you can all forgive me and I hope you can all be here as I start again.

Tonight, The End has fixed itself into many things. Friendships have ended, a Legacy has ended, and for all I know, lives may have ended as well. I can not be certain about the last one, but I can be certain about the first 2.
As some of you may know, MSF has officially shut down. After almost 2 years of videos, after almost 2 years of struggling towards the top… it ended abruptly. With it, a legacy has ended, and friendships have as well. And to think it all may have started with me. As soon as I left MSF things went downhill… I began to realize… and I suppose everyone else did too… that MSF was on the verge of collapse. The staff constantly bickered and nothing got done. I guess tonight we all pushed it over the edge. **EDIT: No one has died, and MSF is trying to get back on its feet. However, please read on**

I’d like to say we did it peacefully. I’d like to say we did it in full agreement of the decision, and I’d like to say that I was not confused or worried at all during this event. I can’t. We left arguing, and maybe even crying. But definitely sad and torn. We were not in full agreement and I was confused, and absolutely worried.
I can’t say we did any of the things above. All I can say is I tried. I tried my hardest to fix it.. I gave it my all… but my all is not enough. I tried, and I failed.

For me, this is The End of everything I’ve worked for around here. This is The End of the friendships, the memories, the good times and the bad. This is the end of MSF, and with it, it is the end of my time here on the Internet. However, I will not end my life. I will keep pushing forward. I will strive for success, I will keep on moving, I will not stop until I am forced to. Despite all its flaws, life is great, wonderful, beautiful.. and I am determined to enjoy it.  Selume proferre

So thank you all for everything. Thank you for the support. Thank you for sharing memories with me. Thank you for being there when I needed you. Thank you for befriending me without judging me straight on. Thank you for everything.

The End.

And just to clear this up right now, I don’t actually talk ALL ABOUT MINECRAFT and I am not addicted. I am simply trying to come up with an idea for a possible video series and I need some suggestions and such.

Now then, to the topic of this post.
I re-opened the blog about 4 days ago. I made it a personal goal for it to be completely up and running by the 7th day. If your wondering what I mean by ‘UP AND RUNNING’ then I’ll explain. When I started the blog… again… I realized that just daily posts that mostly consisted of personal opinions and such wouldn’t exactly bring the readers in… So I started thinking of what people would like to see on a blog.
I came up with nothing.
Other than maybe a ‘picture of the week’ I couldn’t really find anything that people would be interested in. So I want to know… what would YOU be interested in? Please comment below. I will take EVERY suggestion seriously.

Thanks!

Anyways, So I’ve decided that if I am going to return to video making then I’m going to focus mostly on making Minecraft videos. My goal is to make a series. However I still don’t know what this series would be about… or even what genre it would fit under. Since Minecraft isn’t necessarily associated with action and thrills and so on I’ll probably go with a comedy series. What I need is ideas. And who better to ask than the people who watch my videos? What I want to know is what you guys would like to see in a series. Don’t think a series would be good? Suggest something else! Like maybe a ‘lets play’? Who knows. Keep in mind that I will be taking EVERY idea into consideration, but not every idea will be chosen. I will give credit of course, so I won’t claim the idea as my own.

So please, post a comment below and tell me what you think of a Minecraft series!

Thanks for reading!

-Nathan Evans

If you do, then you probably also remember that I promised 2 times the amount of videos I produced in 2010 for this year.
Obviously, this hasn’t happened. Why? I could think of several reasons. The 2 most influential reasons would probably be laziness on my part, and a lack of creative “juices” so to speak. Now that I’ve left MSF, I’ll most likely be forgotten about by the general Club Penguin YouTube community and people will no longer expect frequent videos made by me

I plan to change this.

Recently I developed an interest in the game Minecraft. At a first glance it seemed like a simple, poorly made game that cost way more than it should have. After watching several videos though, including the Yogscast Minecraft Series (most of which is scripted), I had the urge to get this game and begin making videos, possibly a series. The only problem of course was the fact that I was not ready to spend my money on the game… especially since I did not know if I would find it as fun as others did. Thanks to Connor though, I now have a free version of minecraft! Now I can test the game freely and see what is possible, what is not, ect. If I like it, then I will purchase Minecraft and begin to make a series.

Now why am I telling you all this? Because I want to know what you think. I realize not many people visit this site so if you do visit, PLEASE comment and share with me your opinions on Minecraft, and the idea of a series. Also, if you know anyone who may be interested in this blog and what I’m writing about, make sure to share the link with them. A large majority of posts on this blog will always ask for other peoples opinions so I need as many people to visit as possible!

Now then, make to the subject of the future of videos, one thing some of you may have to say goodbye to is my Club Penguin videos. Sadly I’ve begun to lose interest in the game, and since I haven’t had a good movie/video idea in months now, I may have to let it go. I do plan to make a few more before I quit.. Just for the sake of making some. After those videos are made and finished though I will be quitting Club Penguin video making, and Club Penguin altogether.

One last thing before I go… I realize that just making Minecraft videos could drive away some people… So I want to know what you guys would like to see. Is there another online game I could make videos from? Would you guys like to see weekly/daily vlogs? Or maybe you want something else entirely. Another thing I’ve considered is creating animated videos.. Would anyone be interested in those? Once again, please comment below and give me your opinion! I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks for reading!

I encourage anyone visiting to maybe suggest pages for me or what I should do on this blog. So far what I have planned for it is daily(or weekly) Posts, Weekly art pictures, The occasional composition (music) by me, and the occasional video/vlog. (this category will yield fewer results). If I have the time and the patience I may look into how to create and code games in Flash. I’ve attempted several times before, but never put real effort into it.

Anyhow, please visit frequently, since I plan to update this blog every week.. or even every day.

Thanks for reading!
