Before you get started on reading and looking at all the photos, and overall shedding tears like I am, I’d like you to listen to this playlist while you read, thank you.
Over the course of the last 8 months, I’ve learned a great deal of things. Lessons, ideals, thoughts, new perspectives, where to hold your trust, who to hold onto, and most importantly, when to do right and wrong. This term has had its fair share of ups and downs. I made promises, many of which I never kept, but let’s be honest here, what Governor has actually kept their promises. I tried to be different. I came in from a non-political background, from the working-class levels of Firestone. I rose from an area where no others rose before. I won’t ever consider myself the best Governor, nor the worse. I know that in the end, I did right, and I walked away successful. I know that I didn’t let this state down, and despite the ups and downs, we, together, stayed strong. We prevailed through the tough times, the times where quitting really was a consideration, times where we sometimes thought that the odds were going to get the best of us. Despite our differences, we are all the same. We come from different backgrounds, but we’re all young, we came here for new opportunities, we made friends, we made enemies, but most importantly, we stayed strong as a community. At times, we often came together and sought out a common enemy, whether we realize it or not. Despite me constantly expressing immense amounts of distaste and hatred to some of those around me, I truly would like to say that I don’t hate anyone in this state. Over the course of my many months here, I’ve learned that life is too short to sit here and hold grudges, hatred, and dislike for people. I have the rest of my life ahead of me, so does everyone else, enjoy it and be positive.
The community Firestone has built and become will never be comparable by any other group on ROBLOX. Despite our many flaws, we have by far the most enjoyable and semi-friendly community out there. The people I’ve met here, and the things I’ve been able to do with those great people, will never be forgotten. I’ve compiled a few messages I’d like to send out to some of the departments on what I thought of them, and how they’ve been doing over the course of my two terms.
Firestone State Patrol
This department has had many ups and downs. You’ve gone through about 3-4 Superintendents and Colonels during my terms, each with their notable flaws. I truly believe Code_Law is currently the best fit for the department. Please remember, there is always room to improve. If you’d like suggestions on how to improve, just ask the people, the former members, former Governor’s, current employees, people from other departments, you get the gist.
Firestone National Guard
Personally, I really liked how the Firestone National Guard, mainly the command staff, took in my ideas and suggestions and actually put them to good use. They were very open to change, especially under Major General Hobo_Bear. And truthfully speaking, he’s by far one of the best Major General’s I’ve seen come through the National Guard, change my mind. I’m excited to see where you guys go next in terms of development and overall improvements, keep up the solid work.
Firestone Department of Transportation
The Firestone Department of Transportation did a wonderful job bringing in new players, training them, and getting them accustomed to Firestone and how it’s government works. Little do they realize, they’re actually one of the most useful departments. Please be sure to maintain your administrative staff’s activity, it’s imperative, thank you.
Firestone Department of Homeland Security
This department probably went through some of the most significant change it’s seen in a very long time. One of the three longest serving administrative figures all left together, and that pushed the department into a new era. Secretary Colorful_parrots has been doing a great job leading the department alongside Deputy Secretary Mattxtro and Associate Director Buford1842. For the administration, please continue to listen to the people below you. I myself listened to them, and they constantly brought up wonderful ideas, suggestions, improvements, and opinions that could’ve been used to improve the department. Keep up the good work, fellas.
Firestone Department of Justice
This department saw some pretty big change in the shift from Former Attorney General jefrafra to Attorney General Skye_Jones. I really wished Attorney General Skye_Jones could’ve put more time into the department (should they win the election), but in the end, it’s her choice. Overall, good department. (Wrote this before the dismissal) Good luck to the newest Attorney General, 1superchris2.
Firestone Department of Corrections
The Firestone Department of Corrections lost one of, if not the greatest Warden it’s ever had not too long ago. Following his departure, Warden KensterVids took over and I’m glad to say he’s been doing an absolutely kickass job running the department. I’ve seen a major increase in activity from the Department of Corrections, and I’m loving it. Keep it up, fellas.
Firestone Department of Public Works
Under Secretary j0805, I’ve seen a much higher quality of employees being produced, and I’m thoroughly impressed. Hopefully, you guys can see some more use in v3.
Firestone Department of State
I would like to apologize for not giving you more opportunities to work on our foreign relations. I tried to spearhead the relations myself, and that was unfair, especially seeing as we have a whole department dedicated to it. Wonderful employees, great Secretary, keep it up fellas and hopefully you can see more action under the new Governor.
Firestone Department of Aviation

Firestone Peace Officer Standards & Training
POST has been and will always be a mess. Under Director B_ear though, I’m hoping to see some much needed improvements to the academy, an academy we can’t afford to lose. The performance of the Instructor staff was impressive, wonderful people. Keep up the good work my dudes.

At this point, I’m really tired of typing names so I’m just going to move on to something else. If I didn’t include you in my list, don’t feel hurt, I probably just didn’t get to your name and I’m really really lazy. Now that I’ve cleared all the sappy bullshit and emotional shit out of the way, I’d just like to say that it’s genuinely been great. I’ve had a great deal of fun here, and this has been a great experience for me. To put minds at ease, I likely will remain in Firestone. Thank you all.
