My confession

[DonVelD]

My name is John Zadek Poland. I live at (45,72), Middle continent, World 15, Haven & Hearth. This is my confession. If you're reading this post, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-crime Robben Du Marsch. Robben has been building a hermit slave empire for over a year now and using me as his henchman. Shortly after the 14th World, Robben came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. He asked that I use my PvP knowledge to bully hermits, which he would then recruit using his connections in the scheming world. Connections that he made through his career with the W10 Brodgar. I was... astounded, I... I always thought that Robben was a very moral man and I was... thrown, confused, but I was also particularly vulnerable at the time, something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a swamp fever diagnosis that was poised to ruin my village. Robben took me on a ride along, and showed me just how much lead coins even a small con operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my village to burst into drama so I agreed. Every day, I think back at that moment with regret. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head, and Robben had a partner, a man named Roskuwacz, a community manager. Robben essentially sold me into servitude to this man, and when I tried to quit, Roskuwacz threatened my village. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Robben and Roskuwacz had a falling out. From what I can gather, Robben was always pushing for a pedophile in their business, to which Roskuwacz flatly refused to accept him, and things escalated. Roskuwacz was able to arrange, uh I guess I guess you call it a "hit" on Robben, and failed, but he was seriously cleaved, and I wound up crafting his meds which amounted to a little over 900 lead coins. Upon recovery, Robben was bent on revenge, working with a man named Bob Dole, he plotted to kill Roskuwacz, and did so. In fact, the B12 that they used was crafted by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated drowning in a river, but I'm a coward. I wanted to DM Jorb & Loftar, but I was frightened. Robben had risen in the ranks to become the head of Whatever Bay, and about that time, to keep me in line, he took my villagers from me. For 3 months he kept them. Snail, who up until that point, had no idea of my criminal activities, was horrified to learn what I had done, why Robben had taken the other villagers. We were scared. I was in Hell, I hated myself for what I had brought upon my village. Recently, I tried once again to quit, to end this nightmare, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Robben will kill me, or worse, hurt my villagers. I... All I could think to do was to make this post in hope that the world will finally see this man, for what he really is.

John Zadek,
Your words hang heavy in this hall, heavier than any lead coin could ever weigh. I hear the sorrow in your confession, the fear trembling behind every sentence. It is clear you are not only a man crushed by the burden of your actions, but also one who has been deeply manipulated, coerced, and trapped in a cycle that spiraled beyond your control. In this world, Haven & Hearth, where we all strive for power, security, and survival, it is easy for even the best of us to fall prey to darker paths when desperation blinds us. You speak of Robben Du Marsch, a man once close to you, using your vulnerability as a tool, a weapon. It's difficult to grasp how someone you trusted could turn your knowledge of PvP, something perhaps born from your love for the game, into a blade held to your throat. But, Zadek, we must ask: what do we do when we find ourselves cornered? What happens when, like you, a man is forced to become a shadow of himself, bound by threats, violence, and fear? You were faced with impossible choices, and though the weight of your regret is clear, the darkness you found yourself in was not of your own design. Robben may have built his empire on the backs of the innocent, but he did so by first shackling you. Yes, you admit to your role-no one can deny the pain your decisions caused-but it is also clear that you were not the mastermind. You were, like many before you, a pawn in someone else's twisted game. And now, here we all stand: Robben, Roskuwacz, Bob Dole, the villagers, Snail... and even Jorb and Loftar, the creators of this world we inhabit. Each of them hearing your words, seeing the broken man behind the confession. To them, this is more than just a game. It’s about the community, trust, and the choices we make in this world. You have come forward, not to plead for forgiveness, but to release the truth, to let the world know what has happened. And for that, we must commend your bravery. You have bared your soul before us, knowing full well the consequences, knowing the shame it would bring, but also knowing that silence would have been worse. You did not choose this path, but you did choose to speak now, and that choice... that choice was yours alone. Zadek, I can only hope that Jorb, Loftar, and the rest of us here take a moment to reflect not only on your crimes but on the forces that led you to them. Redemption is never easy. It is never quick. But you have taken the first step by shining a light into the shadows. Let this moment not only be your confession, but a warning to all who would exploit others in this world. Let your story be one of caution, one that reminds us that even the strongest among us can fall, and when we do, the whole community feels the weight of it. Let Robben's empire crumble, not with swords, but with truth, for only then can we begin to rebuild something better. May your villagers find peace, may Snail find understanding, and may you, Zadek, find some semblance of the man you once were.
The truth is out. Now, let justice speak.

Robert darsh must be stopped at all costs what if we all killed ourselves then he'd have no one to bully

[Milarepa]

Simping for Robben is a new meta? You should sell Robben merch. WTB Robben pillow case.

Bob Dole is going to finally come out and say this, but Robben controls the printing of the lead coins, and thats why he has been able to get away with things for so long. Bob Dole as his friend, had been trying to make him stop, but he see's now he will never change.

Robben bribes village leaders into betraying their villagers. That's not a one off either, it's like a tuesday for him. It's constant psychological warfare, and it never ends. Living with him is like 24/7 house of cards. It's actually exhausting.

Not only that, but sometimes every second word out of robbens mouth is about how much he hates mexicans in particular. If you don't know, Robben lives in the USA and is a vocal trump supporter, but he takes trumps rhetoric too far. I won't repeat the slurs here, because it's too much even for me, but not even my greed for having infinite coins will silence me anymore.
Robben has Jorbs ear, and has been listening to him for years. He thinks because Robben controls a large group of people that he should have some say in the decision making, but Jorb is being lied to, and anytime people try to speak out, the mods that Robben has in his pocket prevent the players from speaking. It's not right.

USER MUTED FOR 7 DAYS
