Wild Bill Keslo, or WBK, joined the community sometime in Noverber of 2002, at its original home of mtw.gamercastle.com. A member of the original "Old Guard", WBK still tries to keep as active as he can with TWC affairs.
Origins
WBK was introduced to the Total War series by chance encounter with a software bargain bin in the summer of 2002. Within this bin were many copies of Shogun: Total War. Intrigued, WBK went on to purchase the game and was extremely surprised by the addictive qualities of his “new” game. He was even more surprised to find out that the next installment, Medieval Total War, was to be released in the next month! Unfortunately, he was on a rather tight shoestring budget and had to wait until November to purchase his own copy.
His earliest recollection of playing the game was a massacre of his feudal sergeants by some Almohad urban militia. Dismayed by his defeat, he went about searching for assistance. Fate had it that the first site he stumbled upon was the precursor of modern day TWC: mtw.gamercastle.net. WBK was a little apprehensive to join as he had never participated in a forum, but none the less he registered and had his question answered. He didn’t post that much, and any posts he did make were MTW related, though he did start to converse with a members such as Siblesz, The Knight 2100, morble and Iron Duke though PMs and MSN. Thing continued like this for about one month but then, a member name Mehmed II made a Poll which irritated WBK. In response WBK initiated his first thread/poll entitled “How bad my fart smell is”, which needless to say, wasn’t met with much enthusiasm by his new found internet friends. However, from that day forward, WBK became more active in the off topic area.
Things WBK remembers but can’t remember where they occurred:
• Siblesz letting WBK enter the hidden admin forum when Paul wasn’t around. Then to Sib’s horror, WBK left a “I was here” thread, which Sib quickly deleted.
