Kactussman

The Sith Emperor (formerly)

## About Kactussman (aka. The Best Developer for TSO)

Kactussman is the current owner of The Sith Order. He is the only owner, other than Wakers, to become the Owner more than once. When he began his first reign, Kactussman was first The Sith Emperor, and actually meant to retire from Emperor that same day.

### Early history

Kactussman joined the group for the very first time in 2018. At the beginning of his journey, he was apprenticed to Zackywawa, who was Darth Baras at the time, before leaving the group for a while and rejoining. Kactuss joined Reavers for the very first time, but was purged due to the division failing their routine weekly inspections. He then joined Dread Masters, where he progressed to Dread Master Raptus, the commander of the Dreads. He retired to Darth after serving for some time. Kactussman became a candidate for the rank of General Malgus (an HC position at the time, in charge of overseeing all divisions), however it was taken from him by Terrabiome, who reportedly did nothing during his time served for 2 weeks. Eventually, Kactussman rose to Malgus, where he served for an unknown period of time, and then retired. He went on to join the Dark Honor Guards, though at the time he was also an Undercover. He later transferred to Imperial Intelligence as a public officer, where he retired from his position yet again. Once more, Kactuss joined the Dread Masters and this time rose to the rank of Darth Nox, overseer of the division. When he retired from Nox, Kactuss joined the Inquisitors, where he later went on to become the Grand Inquisitor. Around this time, the owner during this period, thatguyzacho, needed help working on another group and recruited Kactussman to do so. While Zach's other group didn't pan out, he kept Kactussman on as a Developer for TSO, where he eventually became the Head Developer in charge of everything dev related.

### Becoming Emperor

After Terrabiome's second Emperor resignation under Zach, Gurt ran for the rank of Sith Emperor while being a developer. His main opponent at the time of running was Viking\_Kalazar. Ultimately, Zach made his decision and Kactussman was appointed the 14th Emperor on November 26th, 2018. Kactuss is the first, and likely the last, person to ever obtain the rank of Sith Emperor from a full Developer position.

### Modern history

After Kactussman's Emperor reign, iWakers appointed him as group owner, where he served for 6 months. In September of 2019, Kactussman auctioned the group in the TSO Discord, where it was eventually sold to Narvog and Nazgulaz for 12k Robux. Before taking the group, however, thatguyzacho **ALLEGEDLY** drained group funds to the developers, including himself, Klaus, and Kactuss. Thatguyzacho also **ALLEGEDLY** gave more of the funds to himself and Klaus than Kactussman himself.

Kactussman served as Head Developer under Narvog and Nazgulaz, and although not owning the group, did most of the work for them during their co-ownership reign. iWakers eventually took the group again during December of 2019, and Kactussman continued to stay on as Head Developer. Around February/March of 2020, as Head Developer, Kactuss was allowed a seat on the Council as "Darth Gurt". This was seen as controversial by many members, as they were of the belief Developers should not take part in normal player affairs and governing unless it absolutely required a developer's input. Although aware of this controversy, Wakers allowed Kactuss to keep his position on the Council until the release of the new ranking structure.

Several months later, Kactussman was appointed Co-Owner alongside Wakers in June of 2020. It should also be noted that at this time, he went by Gurt\_Kalazar, and was forced to leave Kalazar and give up the name if he wanted the job of Co-Owner. While Wakers stated he and Kactuss were equal in terms of complete authority over the group, only iWakers chose and handled Emperor Kaggaths during the time of this co-ownership. In July of 2020, iWakers yet again declared Kactussman the Group Owner, where he ruled until September of 2022.

## Changes and contributions

### Developer accomplishments

Kactussman, on many occassions, has saved the group from broken tech mostly at the fault of ROBLOX itself.

* The breaking of our sabers, December 13th 2018
* The breaking of our morphs, January 15th 2019
* The breaking of our sabers again (the fault of Klaus), sometime in 2019

He has also saved the group many times from numerous exploits attack, notoriously by JibJabJack. Kactussman found solutions to several crashing exploits, item related backdoors, as well as several other minor patches to improve quality of life for TSO's games.

Kactussman is also responsible for most saber gamepasses, including:

* The warblade, and all its variants (Double warblade and the dual warblade)
* The Crossguard
* Dual sabers
* Multicolored blade
* The shoto saber
* All types of customization on saber gamepasses (previously, your customized saber would not appear as your double blade or duals)

He is also responsible for the creation and/or improvement of many special sabers. Special sabers are anything that is not presently available to the public, and may only serve as developer items or trophies for certain players.

* Gurt's special white saber (a saber with every force ability, with no cooldown and came in only white particles)
* The Halloween Saber (owned by Gawk\_Aktuun)
* The Winter Saber (Owned by Stafke)
* Batons
* Saber fork (concept)
* The Winter Saber v2 (in progress, to go to UmbrielleTerminus)
* Darkmourne (aka The Godblade, for iWakers)
* Pan saber, integrated with the Baton and gurt saber (original pan saber made by Sith Architect Schlause)
* The double warblade (was previously a special saber and unavailable to the public, is now presently available for sale)

Kactussman also designed a new map from scratch, with some assistance from Sith Architect Schlause. The map, Khar Shian, began progress in January of 2021 and was completed on August 6th, 2022.

### Emperor Notabilities

As The Sith Emperor, Kactussman re-established the Dread Master division after it was previously removed several times before. Kactussman established several numerous law changes to the Imperial Policy, as well as hosted Duelist of the Month tournaments often. He also helped launch the Shadow Guard as it's own division, and was the first Emperor in charge of them. Kactussman also implemented safety measures in an effort to slow the attempt of document leaking, a raging problem during his time as Emperor and Group Owner.

### Ownership notabilities

#### First reign

Kactussman's first reign as owner took place as he attempted to resign from Emperor, though instead Wakers (2nd reign) surprised him by passing down the group to him. During his first reign of ownership, he chose four Emperors to oversee the group. Kactussman was seen as a more hands on group owner during his first reign as Owner, and often gave medium to heavy input on playerbase administration changes made by his Emperors. Kactuss also used his own Servant system as owner, hand selecting people to report to him their findings on Korriban. It's unknown whether or not these Servants were truly effective, as there are not any evident or recorded incidents involving his servants.

Kactussman made hefty efforts to keep the group alive and run sponsors regularly, but unfortunately around mid-Autumn of 2019, the group began to lose money and players stopped joining. Due to upcoming events in his school life, Kactussman decided to auction the group off at the end of September, and it was sold to Narvog and Nazgulaz around early October 2019. Kactussman remained on as Head Developer during the time of their ownership.

#### Co-Ownership and second reign

Kactussman became the co-owner of TSO during iWakers' 3rd and final reign. Near the end of iWakers's time as owner, he appointed Kactuss as his Co to assist him in running smaller important operations within the group, as Wakers became disinterested and busy in his life to keep up with the Order and it's general affairs. Kactussman also remained the Head Developer during this time. After a few months as co-owner, iWakers eventually decided, yet again, to pass the group to Kactuss once more.

As the new established full owner of TSO, Kactussman determined that sponsors will be held on days voted on by HRs and DC with the ability to host, in order to save money and make the most of a sponsor. It was here where he established that job votes on the High Command would be held on a regular basis, to keep the thoughts of the players in mind about their leadership. Kactuss chose six Emperors during his second time of ownership, though 4 of those became Emperor through Kaggath on the previous. In January of 2021, Kactussman began construction on a new map that would be Khar Shian, TSO's present day game of operations. New mesh morphs would be made and implemented on the release date of the map, August 6th 2022.
