Sam Doe

(Fake story)

It was 6 in the morning, and I couldn't seem to fall back asleep. I just had a very amusing dream, and I was almost dying to finish it. After at least thirty minutes of discomfort and ire, I got up from bed, and went downstairs to the family's computer. It wasn't a Microsoft, Apple or MacBook. It was an antique Samsung. Anyways, I was downloading a new app called ROBLOX. I knew exactly how to play the game, and most of the games on there. It had just been a long time ever since I deleted the app because it was getting boring. I logged back in my old account, and started searching for new games. At that time, I was fond and interested in laser tag games, and survival games. I loved Natural Disater Survival, but couldn't find it on the Game Page. So I did what most people would do if they couldn't find a special game they wanted. I went up to the search bar, and typed the exact game name. But the only results that came up was this game made my someone named "Sam Doe". I was familiar with John and Jane Doe, but not this Doe. Who is Sam Doe? I asked myself. I wanted to enter the game, but I recently heard stories about how when people enter a creepy ROBLOX game, weird things start to happen. I didn't want to end up like those people, so instead I tapped on his profile. Sam Doe was not friends with either Jane or John Doe, or anyone for that matter. I checked his join date, and geez he joined in 1932. Just when I looked at his join date, I realized something weird. ROBLOX was made in 2003. Before. 1932. How is that even possible? How can someone join ROBLOX before it was even created? Then, I did something that proved I was stupid.

I sent him a friend request.

I wasn't scared, but I was confused. How? How? How? I kept asking myself. Then, I got a notification that also proved I was stupid.

Sam Doe accepted my friend request.

As soon as I finished reading the notification, Sam Doe said "hi" in the chat. I replied, repeating his saying. I waited for a moment, and counted to five Mississippi. After I was finished counting, I asked Sam Doe a question. It wasn't a very complex question to answer. I hope.

"Hey Sam, how did you join ROBLOX before it was even made?"

It took a while for him to respond. I didn't expect him too. It was either a long text, or this Sam Doe is a super slow keyboard typing person, or whatever. After 5 minutes of waiting, he finally responded. It was more like a paragraph, a very long paragraph, but here was his answer; "ROBLOX was still under construction in 1931, and I was excited. David told me I could help him build his gaming dream to be a popular video game creator, above all games. But there was an error in one of the scripts, and when John Doe was talking with Jane Doe to Richard Roe, I knew he was up to no good. Richard Roe is an absolute nightmare in the making. he was not user 0, I was. He stole my spotlight from David, and John rapidly forgot about me, along with Jane Doe all thanks to Richard Roe. He is an excellent hacker, and I was not about to let him be user 0." He said. I was surprised he could fit all that into one chat, but that wasn't all. I didn't expect it to be. There was still much more to know. I pretended I was nodding, and kept saying "ok". Sam Doe continued.

"I used that errored script to make ROBLOX a time-traveling game for five minutes, without David noticing. I was able to go inside of ROBLOX, so that way I would be User 0, instead of Richard Roe. But I could only enter it for five minutes. I lost track of time, and got stuck in ROBLOX, restarting all of it's already-made scripts. David was filled with anger, and punished me. I was trapped in ROBLOX for a year, until David let me out. He was already making and making, building and building. He had new ideas for ROBLOX, and he didn't think Project Mind Heist would go so poorly. But it did and Richard Roe became User 0, instead of User 1, like I had planned. Because I was inside ROBLOX, my account did not count. Now everyone had forgotten about me, including David. I will vanish in 24 hours, and I will become dust, and this account will be labeled, Builderman 404 Error."

I was shocked at all of this information about Richard Roe, and David. I was about to ask Sam Doe more questions, such as; "Are you related to Jane and John Doe?" "Why does Roe rhyme with Doe?" and, "Why did you want to be User 0 so much, and how did you know Richard Roe would be User 0?" But suddenly, Sam Doe unfriended me. I was a tiny bit sad, I guess he only friended me to answer any questions. But I was still confused about how he joined ROBLOX in 1932, if he started time traveling in 1931. All my questions were unanswered, except the first one. But my biggest question after that was; "Why are you going to get....deleted?"

The next day, I slept until 7:30 in the morning. My parents were still sleeping, so I had an extra 30 minutes to play ROBLOX. I got another notification, saying Sam Doe sent me a friend request. I guess he changed his mind. I accepted, unfortunately he was offline. But he sent me another message, I'm guessing he sent it right before he unfriended me. It said; "Please...help...there is a way...join my game...I have to be User 0, or I will fade... I read the message over and over again. Under it, I saw a link to a game. I know I mentioned I was stupid, but I wouldn't say clicking the link the game, and hitting "play" on it was stupid. It's called being curious. I spawned at a base, and walked outside of a small wooden regular house. There was a short series of scenes. I went to the first scene. It took place at David's house, I think. There were two players. Richard Roe, and Sam Doe. They were both holding swords, making an X with them. The scene was labeled "The Fight For User 0". The other scenes were explaining why User 0 is so special. It was kind of muffled, but here is why; User 0 seemed to be a spot where people would respect you, and you had power. Lots of power. Sam Doe's scenes showed Richard Roe wanting to use that power to destroy ROBLOX, and make his own video games. Sam Doe showed himself trying to use that power to make ROBLOX better, with David's permission, of course. At the end of the scenes, it showed a portal with some kind of directions near it. They said to go back in time, like Sam Doe did, to convince David Richard Roe is evil, and does not deserve to be User 0. I felt bad for Sam Doe, but I was afraid to go inside. But, I had no choice. I had too. My mind told me too. And with lots of hesitation, I finally jumped my avatar in. In the portal, I was teleported to a different game. Although, it didn't seem like a game. It seemed like an opportunity. When I joined, the actual ROBLOX himself was standing next to Richard Roe, about to let him be User 0. "Stop!" I yelled in the chat. I probably never typed so fast in my life. "Please go away, (my name)." Richard Roe replied, rudely. ROBLOX didn't say anything, but his avatar face changed to a confused look, quite rapidly. I wasn't too surprised Richard Roe knew my name, based on what I heard about him. I had to be careful.

"Congratulations, Richard Roe! You are User 0!" ROBLOX said in the chat.

"Thank you, David." Roe responded, acting very pleased.

"What about Sam Doe? He will do much better things then Richard Roe." I told ROBLOX, in private chat.

"I know you private chatted to my boss. Stop, Sam Doe will just ruin my amazing plans for ROBLOX, and it's community :). " Richard Roe told me.

"Sam Doe? Who is Sam Doe?" ROBLOX asked in regular chat, very confused. He asked Richard Roe, for another time who Sam Doe is.

"Sam Doe is a made-up person John Doe made-up. I think Jane Doe helped him, but I was just joking around. I will be more serious next time, David. Roe said.

Now, I knew exactly how Richard Roe became User 0 instead of Sam Doe. Richard Roe erased David, and everyone's memories of Sam Doe, so he would be crowned User 0 with no challenge, or competitors to stop his evil deeds. Richard erased David's memory of Sam Doe BEFORE Sam went back in time. David never punished Sam. Richard logged into David's account using special scripts (since ROBLOX has no password, to avoid hackers) so HE could punish Sam Doe. I quickly left the game, and told Sam Doe everything I had experienced in the chat. After I made myself some breakfast, I saw Sam Doe responded to my message. "Ah...well, I guess there is no way to stop this nonsense now... I simply can't make any more scripts or games, to go that far back in time, when I went that far back in time... " He said, adding a frowny face after it. [:(] I was disappointed Sam Doe would have to vanish... even though Richard Roe's account got deleted, I'm still thinking he has more plans for ROBLOX up his sleeve, further then any creative person in the world can wonder...

In the middle of the afternoon when I had time to play ROBLOX, Sam Doe unfriended me again, but never sent me another friend request. His games became private, and his account soon got terminated. I guess that was what he meant when he said he would vanish. Although, I still had no idea why. I never looked at his ROBLOX badges, maybe he was an admin? I was heartbroken, and looked up his name again. Then, there was one username that showed up. It was SamDoe, with no space like Sam Doe had. I clicked on his profile. Suddenly, his username changed to SamDoe1111. I was confused, and thought I just wasn't properly looking at the screen. His avatar was a bit emty. He had no friends on ROBLOX, or followers, or anyone who he was currently following. His bio was "You better back off, Richard. And, his description was; I deserve power...". I'm guessing that was Sam Doe, in another account. I sent him a friend request, but he never accepted...
