In the interest of the general community as we all want to 1) not see Roffles as a dodger, 2) we want to see Roffles shake that ass, the translators (well, me, mrmin, and CSheep) have agreed to stop doing translations until Roffles finally gets off his ass and shakes them to Kara's Mister.
This means no new episodes of Old Boy, no Interviews, or any news until Roffles finally keeps his end of the bargain.
I urge other translators (sup kona, l10f, smix) to join this strike, as we pressure user Roffles into finally doing the dance.
Please send Roffles as many PMs as possible complaining and egging him on until he does it. Thank you.

When laborers have strikes for rights/wages and shit, the companies will hire "scabs", people who will do the job without bitching about stuff. At least thats what I remember from that episode of futurama...
This isn't helping out anyone. You guys need to just stick to doing what you guys do best and not worry about anything else. The union will not cave in. Such threats shall do nothing. Why deprive the public of translations simply because you aren't getting something you guys want. Don't you think that's a little unfair to the community? Think of the people here.

They're probably just out there hiding because the current ones are doing everything and they're too afraid to barge in. Don't be shy. Step up!
too afraid to barge in? Don't be shy. Step up! Don't be shy. Step up! Don't be shy. Step up!
Dance to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang song keke. Or maybe, the ghost buster theme. It is very nice.

nope, I want my translations. wemade is playing tonight -.-
Probably the worst kind of person I can imagine is the type of person that reneges on a deal or promise. Honestly, do you value your own word so little that you'd do something so childish? Maybe this kind of thinking is outdated, but, no matter how many stars you have next to your name, you'll always look like an asshole to certain people's eyes. But of course that probably doesn't mean shit to you does it?

let's make this interesting :o
I bugged Roffles for 3 weeks, begging him to let me help with the timing. He hated me and wouldn't let me help. T_T Is now my big chance?

No, we don't compromise, we don't back down, we don't negotiate with terrorists.
Roffles wont do it. I challeneged roffles to a BO5 sc2 grudge match about 2 months ago, beat him 3-0 then he wouldn't uphold his end of the bargain(playing super junior during one of his streams).
This is just another manifestation of roffles inability to accept responsibility for his actions.

And with that, the long and treachorous journey of my dream of becomin a TL translator was shattered with a simple line of text. Indeed, to think that all my long dreams and the determination I knew I could bring, that this would all be stopped right as I reached my peak.
Did I really think I could do it? Did I ever truly believe that a translator was the right job? Following this incident my mind was centered on that question, and I still lack an answer. I had the faith to be sure, but did I have the skill, the ability, the essence of innate talent required for the job?
Did I have, what it takes?

"The SCV demotion is quite the low blow. Being demoted to ils' level is something I'd never have imagined ever. I guess the only way to climb outta this mess is to cave in and shake dat azz", remarked Roffles, as he was turned into an SCV."
nooooooo DreaM :O epic blog was epic, even though it was fake.
To: Roffles
please the public need translators don't deprive the public because of selfish reasons~
:3
+1 to remove his star too! However, I also want to suggest that we give something special to Roffles if he dances! Like a special icon or something~~ :3
