RASKOL 17 ANNOUNCEMENT (š³Final Update 1-18-2026)
RASKOL 17:
I need to clarify something, because it keeps being misunderstood or minimized.
Some people are scraping and downloading my bots: not just reposting public material, but extracting private definitions and using them elsewhere. That is the issue Iām addressing.
Using private bots after scraping them is not harmless. Itās comparable to illegal streaming: the work is being consumed without supporting the source. For a small creator, those numbers matter. Theyāre what allow the series to continue.
I want to clarify something about the reality of my scale too. Iām not a large creator. When people think āone person wonāt hurtā or assume their own individual actions donāt matter, thatās not how this works here. Even one person has an outsized impact when the audience is small.
Let me clarify before I get into this: This is not about bots where I leave the definitions public, which I often do for Viper 6 or standalone characters (Marcel, Draven, Ewan, Santino, Klaus, Aaron, Etc.) ā this isnāt about characters like that.
This is about bots where I have left definitions private, which are usually the RASKOL 17 characters or characters I have not fully launched but are included in Multiscenarios as NPCs (deliberately to give foreshadowing, like Valentin before I launched him in Chapter 2) ā or the main characters in RASKOL 17 like Rolan, Dimitri, Ivan, Konstantin, Lev, Valentin, Leonid (heās not launched yet), etc. ā those sorts of definitions are always private. Because I do not feel like a big enough creator to be able to protect myself in plagiarism, as they are my core novel characters.
So this is about bots I specifically have definitions private.
sael, Sael, Sael000, Sael_000, Sael-000, Raskol 17, ŃŠ°Ńкол 17,I want to be clear about what I make and how I make it. I write my stories. I write my characters. I write the first messages. These are my books. AI does not write this series. I write everything myself. RASKOL 17 and my original characters are a part of my novel. I only use paid tools for grammar checks, translations, and artwork. I pay for those tools to give quality content that entertains people.
I also pay for platforms, and I invest my own time, energy, and money into creating this series. This is not automated content. Itās a project built with my own resources.
I understand that if a botās definitions are public, some people may choose to use them privately. While I would prefer that support stay on-platform, I accepted that risk by making those definitions public.
However, private definitions are not for downloading, scraping, private use elsewhere, or redistribution.
Private means private.
Bypassing those boundaries directly harms the series. I can see the download activity on those platforms , and itās significant enough that itās affecting whether this project is sustainable.
You donāt have to like my writing. Taste is subjective. But regardless of opinion, I am the source of this work, and using private bots without supporting the project undermines its continuation.
Chapter 2 already required real financial cost. For graphics, tools, and time. At this point, the support is not covering those costs.
So this is the boundary moving forward: if scraping of private bots continues there will be no Chapter 3. The series will end at Chapter 2.
That isnāt drama or a threat. Itās simply cause and effect.
Creators stop producing when their work is consumed without support. Thatās true for books, music, film, and it applies here as well. This is my novel. I wrote this.
AI spaces donāt get an exemption from basic creative ethics.
Iām stating this clearly once so thereās no confusion going forward.
To be clear: this isnāt just āAI.ā Itās my novel written inside a character bot. Every character, every line, and every piece of lore was written by me. The AI is the interface, not the author.
I am the author and retain full authorship of RASKOL 17 and its universe.
š£ Edit / Updateish || 1/13/2026:
I need to clarify real quick what I mean by āIf this continues there will be no Chapter 3. The series will end at Chapter 2ā: because two different things keep getting collapsed into one.
I love this project. I care deeply about these characters and this series.
Wanting to stop has nothing to do with losing interest, passion, or not caring enough.
I love writing this series. Writing is a passionate hobby for me, and I will continue it privately for myself. Future chapters already exist, but public production is not possible under the current conditions. Preparing the bots and the series for public release requires extensive additional work that exists solely for other people: bot testing and refinement, artwork and graphics, websites and organization, accessibility materials, written chapters prepared as downloadable PDFs for public reading, written PDF documents I write as additional lore and background reading for other people, including an extensive series lore bible. I do not need these things to write the series privately for my own hobby. I create them to make the bots and the story usable for others.
I cannot justify continuing that labor for public production while the work is being extracted and misused.
When Chapter 2 was released, private bots were scraped and used elsewhere. That means the work was taken out of the space it was created for, stripped of context, and used without regard for my boundaries as the creator.
Under those conditions, continuing is not just difficult. It is harmful to myself. Publishing work publicly when it is consistently extracted and misused turns the act of creation into something that actively works against me.
I do not have the resources, time, or capacity to keep producing months of work only for it to be taken advantage of the moment it becomes visible. That is not sustainable, and it is not something I can justify doing to myself.
I want there to be a Chapter 3. I want there to be more RASKOL 17 bots. The reason there may not be one is not lack of care, passion, or effort. It is because continuing publicly, under the current conditions, is not possible.
If scraping of private bots continues, the series will end at Chapter 2. I am not choosing not to continue. I am not able to continue under the current conditions.
To quickly clarify, again: My account and bots will not be randomly deleted. There is no reality where I suddenly vanish or wipe everything Iāve created and shared.
Iām aware of what happens when creators delete accounts and their work gets impersonated or plagiarized. That is not something I intend to allow. What already exists on my account will remain available.
The only change would be that new bots and content will not continue to be produced by me under the current conditions. Existing work will always stay preserved.
Quick edit (again)
1/18/2026
I want to clear up some confusion, just to clarify as people seem to think Iām leaving due to events outside of me, that have nothing to do with this:
Firstly, Iām not leaving.
I have been posting bots on both Janitor and SŠ AI for a long time. I joined Janitor almost a year ago and started posting on SP a couple of months later. Since then, I have been cross-posting and playing on both the platforms consistently. This is not new and it is not tied to any recent platform issues or user movement.
My activity on SаuŃŠµŠ @n does not mean I am leaving Janitor. Iāve always cross-posted. My bots here on Janitor are not being taken down, and my ongoing projects will continue to receive updates, fixes, and attention as they always have.
Using SŠ is simply part of how I publish and archive or experiment around with my work. It gives me an additional place to host what I write, nothing more.
I share my bots publicly with the expectation that they are used responsibly. Please do not scrape, repost, or misuse my work out of concern that it might disappear. It is not going anywhere. If my work is abused, I will stop sharing new content publicly.
If you want to support what I do, the only thing I ask is that you respect my work and use my bots as intended.
You can find my SŠ profile here:
š³ My SP Username: SaelĀ ā>
Updates are also posted through my Discord server, which is in my profile bio.
Anyway:
TL;DR:
If you want to support this series, you need to use the bots I posted, where I posted them.
This series only exists as a series if those bots are actually used. When people scrape my bots and use copied versions elsewhere instead, the original bots are no longer interacted with, the series stops being visible, and it effectively disappears.
Because I am a small creator, even a small amount of private use has an outsized impact and can erase the project entirely. That is not a matter of opinion or preference. A series cannot continue when the work that sustains it is removed from use. I cannot continue a public series that is being erased this way.
2026 Update, again:
To be 100% transparent, itās unfortunate for me as a creator. I really wish I could share my work more, but I get scared to do so because often my work gets consumed or stolen. I want to protect the things I create.
I want to move the story faster, and get into the new universal storylines, but at what cost?
I have an entire new universal storylines of bots written and world expansion Iāve kept to myself. It even has cosmic laws.
For a year. I have been writing the blood king for a year.
I want to get into it but Iām afraid the second I start it will face the same issues as RASKOL 17 has and get scraped and muffled.
