Should he be a little more careful? He's effectively telling the world that he's planning on escaping his country and their military. Then he goes on to say that in 3 years or so he will be trying to get back in. I don't think this is the best thing to share with the entire world.

A Friend will just be doing marching and sitting around in tents for 9 months

In video he explained why he can't take 9 month break from yt you should watch it.

Being forced to do that shit?

Fuck. That.

Maybe if you were an unfit slob when you went in you'd make a huge improvement. Otherwise from all the research I've done I heard that if you go in fit and ready to go you actually come out worse than before.

I'm absolutely baffled how everyone is agreeing with A Friend's decision. First of all don't get me wrong, it's his life and he does what he wants, I'm just surprised by the general reaction.

Let's get things straight, in Finland pretty much every single adult male will go to the Army. It it mandatory and I mean yes it is kind of a big deal but A Friend makes it seem like it's the end of the world.

He is literally escaping his country and risking to either "never" coming back or facing jail time if he does. What the fuck? He also has his house there and car and everything and he is leaving just like that?

Why are people acting like it's impossible to still be a YouTuber? Seriously 9 months is not that long time PLUS he will get back to home every weekend. Shit dude he has 2-3 days every single week still time to make videos. He could just pre-record bunch of videos or lower his quality for a while, since it also seems community is very understand about the situation so yes. He definitely could still keep pumping like 3 videos a week. Also many finnish youtubers have had no problems when they went to army keeping the popularity still.

And its not like A Friend is the only one having a job. To be fair A Friend is 25 years(ish). Is he expecting to make Runescape videos for the rest of his life? That doesn't seem very sustainable. It's seriously becoming about time to find a proper job considering he could really get fucked up if he is +30 years old with no proper education and experience other than playing video game.

[–]DONT_SUPPORT_MINPLEX 16ポイント17ポイント  (6子コメント)

Maybe because he enjoys doing youtube videos? Maybe because it's better than having a 9-5 job?

He plays RS, and to get content he needs to grind. He can't do that 2 days a week.

Although he does seem to be blowing this out of consideration, he can do what he wants. He's an adult.

[–]ddqiaxo 15ポイント16ポイント  (3子コメント)

Excuse me but get your things straight before pointing out. Afriend has education he finished uni. He can be english teacher or something like that with his University degree. You wont be able to get home one weekends people need to get facts correct before saying anything. In 9 month entire time you can only get back home for like 2 weeks in total. Being at milatary for 9 months would destroy his channel forcing him to go to work for 400-600euro? When he is making now 3k euru . Yes dude its realy good go to army and ruin your carrer that you built.

[–]Hish1 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

still better than risking getting jailed for it and pretty much ruining your whole life, doubt there are many schools hiring felons, not sure maybe in lithuania there are.

    I'm absolutely baffled that you refuse to see the world through anybody elses perspective but your own. In his perspective, he's being told to put his life on hold for 9 months to come do something that he (presumably) disagrees with on a moral level.

    Any sane person is going to do their damndest to avoid wasting 9 months of their life doing something they fundamentally disagree with. You would do the same thing in the outlined situation.

    The only reason you see it as irrational is because you have it in your mind that mandatory military service isn't a bad thing. In AFriends mind, it is, so he is trying to avoid it. This isn't a discussion on whether mandatory military service is ethical or not, it's a discussion on whether he's acting rational. He is.

    [–]soviet_goose -2ポイント-1ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Disagreeing on a moral level has nothing to do with having to do army time. My dad was forced to go for 2 years when in Russia. He is a stong christian and believes those who take up arms will die from arms. As such he never said the oath while in the army, and never so much as touched a gun. Very much against war and killing morally, but he still served his time.

    I agree with Slinky. During the Vietnam war, my grandfather was drafted into the marines. He didn't have a choice. As a 18 y/o man, he had no choice.

    Do you have any clue of just what kind of content he creates? "10 hours of.." will be impossible if he ever joins the army.

    And for a youtuber it is important to be regular. If you stop producing content, interest levels will drop dramatically. For the content that Friend creates, something like army and his content would be incompatible, it would probably mean cutting like 75-90% of your regular content, wich is absolutely terrible.

    Plus, what's the point? Why would you spend 9 months of your life doing something, that you don't even want to do?* There is no point. Why should I or you live your life or even die for someone else? Life is wayy too short for you to be wasting your time on something like that. Such a waste of a human life.

    [–]PineappleAssGrenade 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I agree with you. This whole situation is being blow way out of proportion. It's only nine months, he has the weekend, he might not even make it past medical clearance, he will not lose his YouTube following as he can still make videos on the weekends, and dodging this could fuck him over for the rest of his life.

    I think the real issue is that he doesn't want to give up being on Runescape for 10 plus hours a day, and would rather avoid this than do work that isn't related to playing video games.

    [–]blablaneedaname [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    Well, what baffles me is that the government can force you to go into the army, possibly even risk your life, without having the permission from the so said person. And then having the guts to call you a free man.

    [–]MarkipediaRS 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    perhaps for him it is the end of the world? he has built a career around youtube, by going to military this career is ruined, destroyed even. He made a very very smart decision to get the hell away from there

      "Military service random event"

      God damnit OP. Oh well, i hope everything goes well for this crazy lithuanian bastard.

      EDIT :THIS IS TAKEN FROM THE /R/RUNESCAPE THREAD ON THIS

      First of all he even haven't been to the medical check Only 33% of the people pass the examination. They invited 38k people to the medical check and they will need only 3k (as I mentioned because of the medical health not all people cann join even the trainings). Buut there is already 2k+ people who are going volunteerly , so there is really small chances for him to be taken.

      So if taken - he will be just training for 9 months that in case of war he would help the country. Those trainings will improve team work skills, leadership etc. He will be getting weekends off, he would get paid, he would get reduction for price if he wants to study in university and other social guarantees.

      He couldn't be send to any war action or w/e in those 9 months.

      He won't be forced to fight

      It's democratical country - they create the laws, they keep people safe with the police, because of our government we are in EU since 2004, we are in NATO. Our government protects us - and when they ask just to get trainings, so country would have reserve of people who could help in case of need - he runs away.

      If he wont show up to the medical check - he will get administrational fine of 250 euros.

      If he wont show up in long term and avoid being called - he can be punished 2 up to 5 years in jail for defecting the conscript

      Fellow lithuanian

      P.S. Even though he have youtube career - he is not working. he is not creating his pension funds and I'm curious how he will live in old days, as if he wont work, he wont have the skills and experience in any field - he wont be needed in society. Military is really awesome to ensure good salary and good pension after 25 years of service. Military is just awesome, they need many different specialists and "A friend" is just panicking like a little girl

      Welp, looks like he is making a rash decision because he is scared instead of just facing what he has to face.

      Look man, my country has mandatory service too. I know how stupid it is but its over before you know it.

      I also dont want to take 10 math classes for my degree but I have to. Sometimes you gotta bite the pillow and take it.

      [–]MagicMert [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

      If you are told from a young age this is what will happen you prepare for it. You get in the right frame of mind and the right physical shape. If you have never been told this is what will happen you don't and chances are you will only be a detriment to your team in the field as that person is far far more likely to choak under the pressure.

      [–]Luckybuckets -4ポイント-3ポイント  (8子コメント)

      By taking math classes can recieve a degree with mandatory service you archieve nothing, kind of a dumb comparison mate

      [–]TheMeaning0fLife 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

      with mandatory service you archieve nothing

      Besides getting paid for 9 months, building skills like teamwork, communication, problem solving, etc., getting in decent physical condition, having something to put on your resume if you decide to ever look for a normal job... The list can go on.

      I'm against mandatory military conscription, but saying you achieve nothing from it though is ignorant.

      [–]BluBlaDe -5ポイント-4ポイント  (28子コメント)

      What the fuck how old are you guys I go to work everyday but I'd rather play RS, it's called real life and A friend should start playing it instead of ''working'' on his videos.

      None of that matters, he has a career. His career would be ruined if he were to go away for 9 months. His livelihood should not be risked and he should not lose everything he has built because of his countries paranoia.

      It's easy for a lot of you to say "Go do what you need to do for your country."

      You don't realize that his youtube channel, and possibly the entire market that he has created for himself would be destroyed.

      Not just the next 9 months, that's life changing and reckless.

      Also it's very difficult to fight for something that you don't believe in.

      Not a bright thing of him to put this up a week before he leaves looking at the fact there are a lot of little snitchers out there, but anyways, it is his decision, regardless of what you think about it, it will be his decision and the consequences will be his to deal with.

      [–]untouchable765 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Why does he automatically assume that if he stopped making videos for 9 months his life would be ruined. Many YouTubers have taken long breaks between videos and have been able to build their fan base back up.

      I don't know how it is in Lithuania but in the US you sign up for the draft. So if they have a draft they call your number you go into the military. You have the option to not sign up for the draft which can warrant jail time if a draft would be called upon(which it wont). So I don't know if he signed up for it or everyone does it but this will open up way more doors to his future than youtube would. He is acting completely selfish considering other people are giving up their lives too, to enter the military.

      [–]rabbithop1 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Let's be fair here, he is breaking the law right here. He's not being forced to eat shit and die for 9 months, he's being requested to learn war related matters for a limited time, after which he'll enjoy certain benefits and be able to return full time to Youtube once again. I think he'll improve both money and life experience wise by going. This whole case being blown up will certainly get him some interested viewers, while the people who are already watching will understand the decrease in content.

      He's being threatened into nine months of forced labour, yet people are bashing him for trying to defend himself. The fact that this is even debated in 2015 amazes me. And, for the record, I live in a country with a year of mandatory military service.

      A Friend, enlist in the army for those 9 months, it's not a big deal. You'll gain many different experiences, some which will benefit you in your daily life after it is over. It's honestly not a big deal. Shadman who others might considered fucked up, got denied from a university because they discovered some of his "hentai"-related art on his website. The police also gave him a large fine and a certain amount of community work. He had to do military service sooner or later and it would count towards community work. So fuck it, he did military service. He shared some of his experiences and what ways it helped him. He's still the same person but it certainly helped him keep discipline, which is good for everyone. Have fun with it, it's a different experience. Here's the podcast explaining Shad's story:

      https://youtu.be/mru17S2sO20?t=34m35s

      This comment is pretty basic and retarded, but look at those other ones, all statistical and shit. Just lay back and have fun with it. Maybe you can make your channel a community channel for those 9 months and have someone else manage it. You also have weekdays to upload some content too.

      Just have fun.
