The Sabin Train Suplex is a moment in the game Final Fantasy VI for the SNES during which the game’s character Sabin performs a suplex on an enemy boss called the Phantom Train.

the game was a game made with a group on deviantart in 2011,in 2012 attracted a player who’s account name was “DawsonShively2-0”. when he joined the chatroom he was greeted by the community,the next day however…ruined and scarred his life When he joined the next day,he tried “The battle System”. he made incorrect item combos. The community started to get angry at Dawson. soon enough Dawson made an angry journal about his experience, When Andre^[2] saw Dawson’s journal, he banned him from the game (sadly this was his first time roleplaying.) Dawson then tried multiple ways of trying to get back in. Dawson soon gave up…however Dawson decided to make a RPG game of his own. This angered Andre to the bone, so he started making fun of his failures such as a game called “The Misadventures” and other deviantart group games similar to dafight. Dawson wanted to apologize for his rude actions, he defended himself by saying quotes and cusses, Andre soon then started to laugh at him more,saying and calling him “Retarded” and “Dumbass”. Dawson was then developing depression and emotional scars. Dawson then started to apologize even more. all rejected by Andre. Andre then kept making fun of him. On March 1st,2013 Dawson decided to go into rehabilitation for his depression. after he got out he made an account called “DepressedDawson” due to his nickname. his first ever page comment was from Andre saying " :D your a loser XD" but nothing beats this part… On December 16th, 2013(Dawson’s Birthday) Andre made a horrible comic strip of Dawson.

a person was having an argument with Andre,
in one of the comments said
“because it was fun?”

“Then why did you make this?”

Dawson was then never heard from again, but he was sent to another rehabilitation in January 2014. and got out February 2014
This game still continues to bicker and make fun of him(sadly)

Development
over the time da-fight started to get more members who were blind about the truth, its sad enough to see it continue seeing that andre’s attitude is a harsh one to all people, they’re members started to join without knowing the story….the true story.

Overview
This game may look great and all but would you like to get emotional scars when you join this game? i think not, best way is to leave the group alone, all the creator wants is your attention,its best to just ignore. and for proof that he wants your attention, is this pic posted a few hours on facebook

so are you sure you want to join the game?
