The Free KJ Incident, and how it got Roblox involved.

the whole situation was just not handled well, and unfortunately it caused a lot of confusion and chaos but we're recovering now. regarding the weird prediction and voting system in the hub, getting 750 points was a walk in the park if you did 10 minutes of research and logged on mostly every day there were plenty of different methods that basically guaranteed you every single avatar item for the first 5 days you could see the vote counts even if you hadn't voted yet, so you could just see the highest vote number, predict, then vote, and boom easy points do that over and over then just do the same thing but search for the vote counts online

putting KJ in the character selection before he was actually released was so evil bro 😭😭 I’ll never forget the day I was like “WAIT KJ IS IN MY CHARACTER SELECTION NO WAYYYY” and then I click on it and it says “go vote for tsb!” but honestly they should’ve made a smaller reward

Imagine making an animation of your character that destroys the reputation of innovation awards made by a multi billion dollar company 2 years later

I better see Tower Defense Simulator offering everyone the admin towers "War Machine" and "Mecha Base" next year during the voting, the TDS community desperately needs a win 😭😭🙏🙏

brookhaven dunked on every hangout game without saying a word fr

If only most of the iPad kids accepted the fact that KJ is an admin only character in the first place. That's like the community begging for the knife that is exclusive to people who work at mm2 to be available to everyone

The whole thing was poorly done kj was delayed many times, server had gotten locked down bc of the “scam”/delay, the pools involving kj in ps or pubs only reason I say this is bad is bc of console players not being able to make private servers, and so much other things. Now people have to wait a few months for this horribly done announcement thingy majigy

You know what would be funny. Kilojoule, the guy behind KJ just sent Cease and Desist and it will be just all over. I don't know if it's possible, it just mad funny to think about.

Quite a jackass move to bribe their fans when they don't even deserve strategy, Kj can't be nerfed if they do so they'll face backlash it's just way too unbalanced for everyone to have it. It'll just become a race to ultimate, not to mention it'll would have probably still won strategy just become innovation awards being a popularity contest. Edit:I've seen some people say that the iPad kids should just accept kj is a admin character, yes it's true but the owner shouldn't have bribed their fans, definitely a jackass move.

10:31 THE LEGENDARY BATTLE OF MID LYING BATTLE GROUNDS VS NO UPDATE FRUITS

9:38 "he didn't realise the scale of this promise" my brother in christ, TSB is one of the 5 largest games on this platform by player count. it got 6.6 billion visits in 5 months of being on this platform, not to mention that the discord server literally hit the count limit, someone would have to be incredibly stupid to not understand the scale of promising a free admin exclusive character (or 1.5 million robux aka 18k+ dollars character) and how much it would rig the votes in short, tsb owner did an uncomprehendingly stupid thing by just casually promising KJ like that and then trying to just wipe all follow up messages regarding KJ, inshort KJ should have been a suprise reward not a (false) promise as one other person said in this comment section, it was 100% intended to rig the votes though hence why it was directly said

BRO WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TOWER DEFENSE SIMULATOR WAS THE ONLY FREAKING GAME THAT WAS STRATEGY LMAOOOO 😭😭😭 ISTG AS A TDS FAN THIS IS JUST EVIL

Imagine doing all that, delaying your free KJ, doing all this shit to make sure your players don't get to use KJ, which they are the reason you are even on the voting. And ROBLOX, ROBLOX THEMSELVES had to make sure to you delay it even further because your bribery was so prevelant in the community it reached ROBLOX themselves. Just so you know, getting ROBLOX involved in ANYTHING means you either fucked up or your getting sued. Luckily it was the first option.

Become the best❌ Become the best one to bribe✅

Imagine a world where the owner DIDN'T promise KJ and instead Surprised us with KJ. Like he said smth like "If we win the innovation awards, i promise a BIG suprise :)" that way people would still have motivation. I feel like there would be much less drama. (my opinion tho)

I don’t get how the devs for fun worked on a character that was only for them with the MOST effort but the other chars less effort

I think this came from a fabricated content drought by the community. There never has been that big of a "content drought" since the game became popular, but the community is so thirsty for new stuff, that they get bored WAAYY faster then theg shouldve. Something similar happened with gojo as when the owner was seen using it, everyone went feral for him. Lots of games have dev abilities, but noncommunity reacts to it like the strongest. So when people kept getting bored after updates came out (somehow), they frothed at the mouth at a glimpse of KJ. If you stop and think fot a hot minute, KJ is the most impressive in terms of vfx, but not by THAT much, people just want him because they dont have him (supply and demand) TLDR: Playerbase is spoiled, supply and demand No I'm not responding to the replies have a nice day

one of the biggest reasons for blox fruits losing was the fact that when they offered out sneaks as a bribe, everyone in their community - including literally everyone, was infuriated - considering the players havent received a content update for almost a year.

The fact that over 1m players choose tsb for free kj is unbelievable.

I don't mind them offering a reward as big as KJ for the voting, but they shouldn't have announced it until AFTER the voting had ended. It would've been better for them and everyone else if it was more like "Hey, since we won, you guys get free KJ for a few days! Enjoy :D" instead of "Hey, if we win you guys get KJ, even longer if we win multiple times".
