RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Martin: Well, this is it. I'm going to stop the end of the world. And it seems I'm not going to survive.

I need you to sort through the aftermath. I want you to unite Sea Land, Amerigo, Americium, and the Acarian Isle to form the United States of America. You're in charge unless you can establish a democratic system of government.

This is the end of the Seastrider dynasty. Goodbye.

No! I can not properly run this. They will put my head on a stake! There must be another way!

Martin: That may be so, and you don't have to be the one running it. All I really want is for the people to be free rather than being free of people, for the poor to run things instead of being run over, for the former nations and provinces to stand united rather than falling divided. Please do as I ask. I am your last Emperor.

A tear runs down his face as he sets down the radio and begins energizing the holy spell.

No! -prays to the gods of creation, fate, justice, and protection(Chanku, Anakata, and DoA) to protect him-

Sea Land

Martin whispers as the spell continues charging, as the demons attempt to stop him, as the Circlet of Emperors breaks from the divine energy. The Lone Wanderer can barely make out what he says:

"The Circlet is shattered. The demons are defeated. With the Seastrider blood, and the Circlet of Emperors, we have sealed the gates of Hell... forever. The last of the Seastriders passes now into history. I go gladly, for I know my sacrifice is not in vain. I take my place with my father, and my father's fathers. The age of lonely mortals has ended, and a new age dawns. When DoA writes the next chapter of history, you shall be its scribe. The shape of the future, the fate of the people, these things now belong to you."

The world shakes from the power that has been unleashed. The demons fade into ash. The boundaries between the mortal and immortal realms change. A great evil is purged from the land.

Martin smiles as he dies, and the former Sealandic capital erupts in a mushroom cloud of mystical energy, as though the target of a nuclear strike. His remains are nowhere to be found; or anything else within a few city blocks of him, for that matter.

(OOC: Great, I just killed a character. And I bet I'll have to do it again.)

A soldier comes up to the Lone Wanderer.

Soldier: The demons have stopped attacking, and the Axis no longer controls any territory. The war is over! The UAC is free!

RE: Sea Land

Listen, I formally apologize for Capitalistian's use of fire, white phosphorus, and biological weapons. We know and fully accept that that does nothing to account for the massive loss of life Capitalistian has caused. But, as a formal declaration of our guilt, we will rebuild all three cities attacked by the Phoenix Brigade, as well as make a memorial of these events in our capitol city, if you wish.-Mr. Faber

(OOC: The Lone Wanderer should be the one to respond to that. Also, Chanku, you should create a new thread for the newly formed United States of America, and this thread will be discontinued and remain as an archive of the former Axis.)

Thank-you, that would be much appreciated.
