Toxic gossip
Hey,
Unfortunately a lot of people have been sending me screenshots of gossip about myself being passed around by other people.
I would like to say that all these people that I forgive you and that if I have done you any wrong if you send me a direct message I would love to consider the situation so I can make it right if that is the case.
Unfortunately, there have been quite a few people that have been lying and stealing (I will explain in a moment), but I decided to keep those situations private, because for me, I don’t like to make private situations about other people known so that they can go on living a normal life without people taking a second look at them.
I’ve come to realize that in doing so I have opened myself up for a very one-sided story to be told by some of these people about me so from now on that will change.
P1 has been robbed of about $3500 worth of winnings and an investigation is ongoing about this matter. I will keep the suspect private but I would like to share that both BI and Tencent are looking into the issue.
I’ll finish by saying, just remember there are two sides to every story and that if somebody is sharing with you something really juicy about somebody else the best thing to tell them is to take it up with that person directly.
That’s our first rule in P1, don’t accuse others behind their back and don’t listen to those who do.

While I am here, I would also like to address some smaller controversies based on misinformation:
1) All donations in P1 Creators are optional. People donate on-average about 42% of earnings back to P1 Creators because they love what we do and want to see it grow. We promise them nothing in return but a bigger, better and more awesome community. 100% of what P1 C gets goes back to its creators. P1 C does not take any cut off the top but depends on voluntary donations.
2) Do your team's rules stop people uploading the the workshop? Nope!
Ylands Express is an example of a member-made game.
Here are our official rules:
✅ Build stuff together with other members!
✅ Share that stuff & screenshots of it on social media!
✅ Monetize those creations!
✅ Upload your own work to the Ylands workshop.
✅ Ask P1 to help sell/monetize those creations for you in China!
You do not need to include a P1 logo or any credit but you can if you like! 3) You promote P1 too strongly! This is actually quite true. I'm an immigrant and I just simply don't understand yet how this is done properly in this Western way and I'm trying to. From my understanding when you do things here you're supposed to let other people vouch for you instead of yourself but just know that from my perspective it's difficult to understand because I didn't grow up in the West. 4) If I join P1 C, I can't join other Ylands groups! False: You can be a part of any group you desire you just can't make a new one and invite our people to it while being a member.
Added in edit afterward. 5) If I join P1 Creators, I cannot also compete against them in the competition. True! The fundamental principle which guides us is that we all want to win as a community and split the winnings. We don’t know which game of ours will actually do well. It’s not right for one of the teams that makes games within our group to see they are getting advantage and then submitting on their own. By sharing out the winnings equally we all win each time rather than being subject to the luck of the draw. 6) P1 will submit more than one game. True. We have more than 600 members, don’t you think it would be fair for them to submit more than one game? Just know that whoever is spreading these rumours they are entirely false and you should really bring them up with me personally rather than talking behind my back.
