==April Fool's Jokes==

−

On April Fool's Day of 2007, Shedletsky made an announcement on the ROBLOX blog announcing that Google purchased ROBLOX and was renaming the game to Gooblox<ref name="Google Purchases ROBLOX", ROBLOX Blog>http://blog.roblox.com/2007/04/roblox-bought-by-google/</ref>. Later in the day, David Bascuziki released another blog article that explained the April Fool's joke and that the Gooblox domain was purchased by ROBLOX<ref name="April Fool's Courtesy of Shedletsky", ROBLOX Blog>http://blog.roblox.com/2007/04/april-fools-courtesy-of-telemon/</ref>. Users who enter the URL for Gooblox will be redirected to the ROBLOX client.

−

In 2010, Shedletsky's administrator badge was removed as part of a second April Fool's joke.

−

==Notable Games==

−

−

−

===Sword Fights on the Heights Original===

−

{{main|Community:Shedletsky/Sword Fight on the Heights Original}}

−

−

===A Bridge Too Far===

−

−

===Mission to the Moon===

−

Mission to the Moon is a place created on August 6, 2007. Users are encouraged to purchase a [[Catalog:Astronaut Helmet|helmet]] while playing the game. If the player doesn't wear the astronaut helmet in the "Mission to the Moon" place, the player's head would briefly expand and eventually explode and the player would die from the explosion of the head, due to the supposed lack of oxygen.

−

==Username Swap==

−

Prior to the change username feature being released, Shedletsky changed his name by switching his user the user IDs between his Shedletsky and Telamon accounts. By doing this, Shedetsky was able to keep all of Telamon's earned assets and also took his user ID. When asked about the name change, Shedletsky tweeted that he did so, because he outgrew his previous name <ref name"Shedletsky name change">[https://twitter.com/Shedletsky/status/180177636650266624]</ref>.

−

==Former Appearances==

−

Shedletsky (on his Telamon account) was known for his shirt saying "I ♥ fried chicken". The gear he was holding was a turkey leg (which looked similar to a chicken leg) to go with his shirt.

−

==Controversy==

−

===References to Minecraft===

−

One of Shedletsky's places, ''Explosions Every 30 seconds or Your Money Back'', has a TNT block that closely resembled the TNT bricks used in Minecraft. Around this time, players who made any connections to Minecraft, such as discussing it through a forum post or making a model that resembled one of Minecraft's assets, were swiftly banned from the ROBLOX client. Many players took notice of this hypocrisy and voiced their complaints through the forums.

−

===SFOTH Becoming Builder's Club Only===

−

For a brief period, Shedletsky's ''Sword Fights on the Heights IV'' was converted into a Builder's Club only place. After numerous complaints on the forums, Shedletsky responded with the following post:

−

{{Template:Quote|1.I can ban Exploiters and get their main account....2.I was curious how many tickets it would make (answer: a ton)...3.I was interested in whether there would be fewer noobs in-game (maybe)...4.It's my game and I'll do what I want....5.Trololollollll.

After that post, [[Community:XiaoXiaoMan|XiaoXiaoMan]], a ROBLOXian Youtuber famous for his ''Raging ROBLOX Reviewer'' series, made two commentary videos discussing Shedletsky's forum post <ref name=XiaoXiaoMan discusses Shedletsky's comments on the ROBLOX Forums>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YNDHyLtscQ</ref>.

[[File:JohnNormalNightOut.jpg|thumb|137px|John out on a regular night.]]

*''[[Blame John]]'' is a popular ROBLOX saying. This phrase originated during the 2010 Egg Hunt when the first egg drop failed to meet players' expectations. Since then, the phrase has been used in various gears such as the ''Magic 8-Ball'' and the ''Blame John'' protest sign.

−

*One of Shedletsky's most popular looks is his "I ♥ Fried Chicken" shirt. Since then, it was been a joke to accommodate Shedletsky with fried chicken. It may also have been the inspiration for the Telamon's Chicken Suit from Telamon's Mystery Box.
