If it's not a forum strictly operated by someone (ie hotseating or a modder's forum), I've probably tinkered with it. Eventually I may get around to documenting some of it.

Forum Profile:Here

Hello there. I am Dismounted Feudal Knight, currently a Moderator on TWC. I'm most likely spotted doing odd cleanup jobs on the forum and the wiki. You might also know me as a distinct infamous roman emperor from years back, or as raidarr on the discord server.

An abridged history

2015-2021

I've been aware of the site existing since 2013-2014 or so. I registered in 2015, but did nothing and forgot the account. In 2017 I registered again, sucked in by Jadli from an obscure multiplayer/hotseating community on Steam. I wasn't very good at hotseating, but I did manage to get this started.

I expanded from hotseating into Tale of the Week, reading site history and participating in the Curial Commentary Thread. I did not participate for long in the Writer's Study or with hotseating, but my interest in the Curia and the overall site grew. I also took an interest in editing the wiki. Eventually I gained citizenship by King Athelstan's patronage in 2020. Between 2018 and 2021 I was in and out of Content and roles in the Curia. Each of these roles were fairly short lived. In 2021 I wavered from my roman theme and tried a different branding. It didn't work well and I went back to the roman theme. I did quite a bit of strange stuff in this period going into 2021.

2022-2023

In 2022 I took a different approach, and settled on a rebrand to what you see now. In February I joined the Moderation Staff (with a focus on TW sections) and Content Staff (Wiki Team, for a third time). This arrangement lasted until December, when new life events turned up and I expected to be gone for a long time. I resigned my roles expecting that, and as it turned out I was able to return by February 2023.

Shortly after returning I took on the role of Magistrate. It went better than the first round, though it was utterly absent of cases and the most actual work I put in was quality of life updates to TWC threads using permissions I may or may not have retained from before. The existence of these permissions was publicly noted only near the end of the term.

Following the expiration of my term in late June I re-entered the Moderation Staff.

Awards

Award Type Reason
Wiki Editor gold.png Silver Wiki Editor Award The mark of my wiki history, mostly outside of staff. Achieved Bronze on June 3rd, 2019 and Silver on April 28th, 2020. Achieved Gold on June 3rd, 2023. First of a kind!

Previous Roles

Badge Description
3K Magistrate.png (?) Elected February 18th, 2023. Ostensibly I reviewed appeals of moderator actions. There were no cases, so...
3K Moderator.png (?) First stint from February 5th, 2022 to December 2022.
3K Content Staff.png (?) Third run in Wiki Team from February 24th, 2022 to December 2022. I've retained the on-wiki access acquired during this term.
3K Consul.png (?) Elected on May 11th, 2021, a brief and fairly unremarkable term.
3K Praefectus.png (?) Elected June 6th, 2020 as a local moderator of the Curia; served shortly before the position was eliminated.
3K Gaming Staff.png (?) Discord Staff, as of May 10th, 2020. This is the root of why I appear as Technical Staff on the discord server.
3K Magistrate.png (?) A very short term to evaluate cases that were brought to the Tribunal. Very very short period.
3K Librarian.png (?) A brief stint in the twilight days of Scriptorium activity, 2018.
3K Content Staff.png (?) Wiki Team twice around the 2018 period, short rounds interspersed with freelance editing.

DFK's project space

A list of stuff I'm working on relating to TWC. This comes with no guarantees on progress: it's whatever is in my head at the moment but if you're curious what I'm plinking at here you go.

Broad subjects

  • Curating - so what do I actually do on TWC? You see the wiki but not on the forum... well here it is
  • Archiving - Thoughts and progress on this aspect, a morbid contingency should TWC itself not survive in coming years
  • Assorted thoughts - the "secret" dumping ground for where I think TWC as a whole should go

Wiki projects

Previous stuff

  • Citizenships: I have a couple potential patronages that haven't really moved. I mean to finish those eventually but my interest in this has waned to nothing, so I expect to do little more on this front.
  • More granular ideas on the wiki especially have waned along with my interest, I'm more interested in curating what exists or supporting the initiatives of others than developing new content.
