April Fools Jokes

On April Fools Day of 2007, Telamon (Shedletsky) made an announcement on the blog announcing that Google purchased and was renaming the game to GoobloxCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many. Later in the day, David Bazsucki released another blog article that explained the April Fools joke and that the Gooblox domain was purchased by Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many. Users who enter the URL for Gooblox will be redirected to the website. Inputting the link in your URL bar still works today.

In 2010, his Administrator badge was removed as part of a second April Fools joke.

Notable Games

Sword Fights on the Heights IV

This is the most notable sword fighting game that was made by Shedletsky. The game has over ten million place visits.

Sword Fights on the Heights Original

This is the first installment of the Sword Fight of the Heights series. 

A Bridge Too Far

A Bridge Too Far is a map created on September 21, 2007. The objective of the game is to blow up the bridge. This game has over 100,000 place visits.

Mission to the Moon

Mission to the Moon is a place created on August 6, 2007. Users are encouraged to purchase a 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.

My First Level

My First Level is the name of the first place made by former Telamon now known as . It was made in June 2006 and has not been updated for over 5 years. As of 6/2/2013 the place has been visited 31,813 times and has been favorited 1,096 times.

Username swap

Prior to the username change feature being released, Shedletsky changed his name by switching the user IDs between his and Telamon accounts. By doing this, was able to keep all of Telamon's earned assets and also took his user ID. When asked about the name change, tweeted that he did so, because he outgrew his previous name [1].

Former appearances

(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

SFOTH Becoming Builder's Club Only

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

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.

Shedletsky

After that post, XiaoXiaoMan, a Youtuber famous for his Raging Reviewer series, Burnout Madness series, and his Random Insanity series made two commentary videos discussing the forum post.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many

Trivia

This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.

JohnNormalNightOut

John (Shedletsky) with his wife Christina (BrightEyes).

  • Blame John is a popular 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. The phrase can also be found on a poster in Innovation Labs in its security only area. It also originated when Shedletsky mentioned "an evil 1x1x1x1 brick" was going to hack Roblox. That's where 1x1x1x1 is from.
  • He helped design a game in 2006 called Euclidean Crisis.[2]
  • He once owned a forum called IronNoob. Many older members joined it, but it was shut down in 2014.
  • Although it may be a running gag, he has stated that his favorite food is fried chicken.
  • Since the start of 2015, trade requests from him have become more common, as he often trades with random players. However, he has also been accused of using trade bots since many limited owners that had never met him in-game reported receiving bad trades from him.
  • On June 8, 2016, someone named Infamy and a few of his friends guessed his and Twitch passwords. InceptionTime eventually came to the scene and shut the livestream run by the compromisers down.
  • Many users prefer "Telamon" rather than "Shedletsky".
  • People say he is a skilled sword fighter. However, he says that he has no skill in sword fighting due to him only using powerful swords against Regular Swords.
