John James Shedletsky, III, formerly known as Telamon, is a famous Roblox user who was the former Creative Director at Roblox from 2006 until 2014. He was the fourth engineer hired at Roblox. He resigned from his full-time position in May 2014 in order to pursue establishing a new business venture, although he continues to work on an as-needed basis with the corporation. While employed at Roblox, he created games such as Nuke the Whales and Sword Fight on the Heights IV, and he created the LOL group. He has also patented some systems which have since been unique to Roblox. Shedletsky has a YouTube channel which is known for uploading many trailers of Roblox during its early years. Nowadays, Shedletsky is mainly active on Twitter and returns to the site from time to time. He is also known to have two alternate accounts that have a vast trove of limited items stored on them; EarlGrey and SonOfSevenless.

Outside of Roblox, John is married to the administrator known as BrightEyes. He graduated from Stanford University in 2006 with a bachelor's and master's degree in computer science with additional focuses on biology and classical literature. His interests include computer graphics, machine vision, game theory, game design, graphic design, oil painting, bio simulations, and classical literature.

ID Swap with Telamon

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

April Fools' Jokes

On April Fools' Day of 2007, John made an announcement on the blog announcing that Google purchased Roblox and had renamed the game to Gooblox. Later in the day, David Baszucki (also known as Builderman) released another blog post that explained the April Fools joke and that the Gooblox domain was purchased by Google.. Users who enter the URL for Gooblox will be redirected to the Roblox website.

In 2010, his Administrator badge was removed for a short period of time as a part of a second April Fools joke. After this, many people speculated that Shedletsky was fired. However, this was not the case and he later regained the Administrator badge.

Shedletsky (on his Telamon account) was known for his shirt saying "I ♥ fried chicken". The gear he was holding was the 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 of time, Sword Fights on the Heights IV was converted into a Builder's Club only place. After numerous complaints on the forums, John 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 Roblox YouTuber who was well known for his Raging Reviewer series, Burnout Madness series, and his Random Insanity series at the time made two commentary videos discussing the forum post.

• From 2006 to 2007, Shedletsky was known for using alternate accounts on the forums to play out as a different person.
• He was also known for "exposing" or "roasting" people, but usually to players that did something wrong on the forums.
• He may be an ancient history enthusiast, as his original account's username was a direct reference to a Greek mythology character of the same name and he is also known to have conceptualized the Dominus and Kleos hats.
• In-game, Shedletsky has a unique logo next to his name on the player list. The logo is the "Epic Face".
• 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 his alternate account,1x1x1x1 originated from.
• He helped design a game in 2006 named Euclidean Crisis.
• He once owned a forum which was named IronNoob. Many older Roblox players joined it, but it was shut down in 2014.
• Shedletsky created the account 1x1x1x1 in 2010 to possibly test exploits.
• 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 disadvantageous trades from him.
• On June 8, 2016, a user namedInFamy and a few of his friends managed to crack Shedletsky's Roblox and Twitch passwords.InceptionTime eventually shut down the stream that InFamy's group was broadcasting on Shedletsky's Twitch channel.
• Many users prefer the username "Telamon" rather than "Shedletsky".
• People say he is a skilled sword fighter on SFOTH, However, John says that he has no skill in sword fighting due to him only using powerful swords against regular swords.
• He sometimes uses swearing in his tweets on Twitter which catches the attention of the community in the replies.

Some people said Shedletsky had a game called "Shedletsky's dirty place", which was a game where Shedletsky showed disgusting things to players, but it's not confirmed, due to not accessible to ROBLOX anymore.
