I also heard about the warriors movie coming in… I think 2027? I saw some concept art for it.
Nexus, I have read your posts in cantaloupe dye, and I am… how can I put this… as a younger writer who has not been here as long, I’m not quite sure I should be saying this, especially after I already said I’d stay out of this but.. after reading your posts on cantaloupe, disrespecting Tina’s dye, saying you live for being terrible annoying and rude, I agree with Ben, honestly! please just leave for a while until you’ve learned to watch your mouth, and stop being disrespectful to a beloved write who has passed away! If your posting on cantaloupe, then it should be paying respects to Tina! I didn’t know her, at all! Therefore I will not be posting on cantaloupe dye, but I know she was a nice person just from reading her posts on cantaloupe. Please leave nexus, I think I, and many others no longer respect you or want you here.
-BoXXy.
Ok first, I lit didn’t know that cantaloupe dye was actually on here.. so I’ll go check that out.
Second, uhh I’m gunna try to stay mostly out of this whole Tina and nexus stuff, I wasn’t around when Tina was so I really don’t have a right, and I don’t know nexus or anything about his/her rebellion rn, so I can’t say much, except that if that was nexus and not an impersonator then I’m not a fan either
PS. By ‘staying out of the Tina stuff’ I don’t mean not mention or talk about at all when something happens regarding her, I mostly mean I don’t know anything about Tina so I can’t talk about what she did or who she was and I can’t juggle the situation, i just want to rack up some knowledge for myself, then make sure im right and not mixing things up.

From: Ben
Hey all. I’m here. I always have been. I just don’t talk much because I get lazy. If you want me to be honest, I’ve been here for the past three years and I’ve seen enough newcomers come and go that I have been almost conditioned to anticipate people giving up on their stories after a few weeks, even with my encouragement and comments. You’ll have to excuse my pessimism, but that is just the reality of it I suppose. Looking now, it seems some folks have disappeared since I last messaged.
This message is going to be about 1. Tina, and 2. All of your stories.
Anyway. Enough of that. Some of you are curious about Tina. The truth is, I was not there to know the full details. As far as I’m aware, her passing was very sudden and abrupt, and may have involved a seizure. The community at the time only knew because her brother, Peter, delivered the news, which is common for those who know their close ones had an online presence. In fact, I myself have a failsafe in the case of any sudden death on my end. After she passed, some people went as far as to impersonate her and pretend to have ‘recovered’, which is why I avoided the topic to begin with since it was a trying, frankly disappointing time for everyone involved.
I know PrimalApex has expressed his skepticism ever since he found the Charmer message, but I know otherwise. There was no true reason for Tina to fake her death. If she did it for the attention—then it would certainly be short-lived. She was already beloved in the community, and I don’t see that being a plausible motive. Not to mention, she’d probably continue to write under the Charmer or Peter alias, if anyone was none the wiser. If she did it to get away from the community easily, then that also makes little to no sense. Tina hasn’t been spotted ever since 2022, since that day. If she had left the community, I doubt she would stay quiet for four long years. The community clearly meant something to her.
That’s all you need to know about Tina. So let me move onto the next point of discussion.
To those who have managed to persevere for this long… SomeGamerGuy, BoXXy, Zznake, etc. I’ve underestimated your grit. If you are currently writing a story, and you are confident in your ability to push through and finish what you started, then I am willing to read your story and give my utmost support. Writing’s difficult, as you know. And I find that just the acknowledgement someone read through your hard work goes a long way. It’s why I’ve even made it this far to begin with. I’m not sure where this community would be if everyone stuck to their own corner and only focused on their own stories. At that point, we’d all be talking to brick walls, eh? If you want me to read your story, you can tell me where I can find it, and what it’s called. I’ll read all of them. Just don’t give up, ‘cause that story deserves to be finished.
If you’ve made it this far, listen carefully to what I say next. I can’t recall if I’ve told you this, but the D0d0dex Stories website is very helpful for communication. Just search it up on whatever browser you have, and it should be the top result. When you go to that website, it’s going to give you all the latest tips posted in the Stories section, and you can categorize and sort by Newest and creature. Tips appear faster on there than on the app, so communication should be faster.
If you want to communicate even faster, you can go to the D0D0Dex Fan Fiction Wiki, on Fandom. Yes. We have a wiki. You might even find your story logged on there. We’ve had one for the past two years and a half. Communication is nearly instant there, and it’s a great place to check out cool art and post your own art if you have any. You will need to make a Fandom account, but that’s about it, really. Some people are forbidden from even accessing Fandom (which, puzzles me, since Fandom is not a site I’d expect to be banned from any parents, if you’re able to play a game like ARK Survival Evolved). We don’t use Discord because it’s more likely someone can’t use it, and we also just don’t like Discord. Anyway, the appeal to Fandom is that replies are nearly guaranteed there. Wow. How elitist. It was never supposed to truly be like that, but things just ended up that way the less and less people started joining the community over the years.
Regardless of the choice you make, I’ll try my best to still be here. If you have any other comments, questions, or concerns, feel free to leave them and I’ll answer post-haste.
Finally (I promise this is the last one), if you are interested in reading some ARK stories of your own, but don’t know where to start (and honestly, I highly encourage this anyway. Your fellow community members love having their stories read too, like you, and you might even get a creative spark as a result. Plus, it’s fun!), then feel free to leave your preferences, what type of story interests you most, and there will probably be one that suits your needs, which I can then tell you where to find so you can begin your journey.
That’s all for now. I’ll hopefully see you around?

Cantaloupe dye is on this app! You can find it in Items and Recipes or something like that? There’s a list of all of the types of dyes in ARK there where you can find it.
I’m really hoping that’s an impersonator and not actually Nexus. I’m very disappointed. Thank you for bringing it to light, Ben, you’re the best.
Warriors game sounds great! I think I’ve read about four arcs of Warriors, so I will definitely try the game! I love the series very much.

Let your eyes feast upon your fellow community member in Cantalope Dye:
)<:NEXUS:>(
‘Not disturb’? You clearly don’t understand my mission… I am literally targeting dyes such as this, and dyes that are active, to disrupt everything, my life mission, is to make life a bit like hell for you people… really if I’m not being annoying, rude, or terrible to you, I’ve got nothin’ to live for!
Clearly he has no standing in this place, LOL, I'm sure you'd agree that much with me.

From: Ben
Hey all. Just wanted to share some stuff Nexus said in Cantalope dye, the place where Tina posted some of her stuff before she passed, which is going to justify what I have to say next, since those pitiful words will be removed shortly.
“I claim for rebellion… cantaloupe is mine.”
“Moon… someone wise, once told me, do not dwell on the past… or you will miss the present, stabbing you… okay maybe not that EXACTLY the stabbing part I may have made up, but you know what I mean.”
Hey. So I just wanted to let you know I’m aware of the existence of your ‘rebellion’ (whatever this means), and while I brushed it off as a mindless endeavor when I first caught wind of it, I didn’t anticipate you to go off and essentially tread your muddy shoes into what was essentially a dead girl’s house. I also didn’t really appreciate how you responded to Moon afterward, where you basically recounted a beloved community member’s passing as just “the past” that should not be “dwelled on”. If you weren’t aware, it’s not exactly something we DWELL on. It’s just people like you who always end up resurfacing blood that should not have been resurfaced to begin with.
Also, did you really have to go on and say you stabbed Moon? Real charming.
Anyway. I’ll be blunt with you. I don’t really like you. And I don’t really appreciate what you did, and what you’ve been doing these past few months. I’m going to go ahead and ask you to calm down, hop off the platform for a week or two, and reflect on the weight of your words. Do not contact us until you learn your lesson.
Run your mouth like that again, and you can say goodbye to your legacy on here.

Ben is often online and able to be contacted any time in the wiki, though he has a lot of archives I doubt there’s anything else about Tina other than what I previously said about her. That is, basically all we have. If you didn’t see my message about her from before let me know. I could still ask Ben though and let him know you’re asking for him here, if you want. As far as I know he might have already seen these and is looking through to find your answers, that or he just hasn’t checked in here for a bit.
