| − | After being a member of both the [[CoP]] and [[Consilium de Civitate|CdeC]] in the Summer of 2006 he asked to be entered into some moderator elections that may take place while he was on holiday. Upon returning from holiday he found he was in an election, though many had thought he had left due to his inactivity. After the ensuing crisis of alleged widespread use of PM's to canvass for votes he was appointed a [[:category:moderator|Moderator]] along with [[Evariste]] and [[Seleukos]]. With the [[Curia]] now attacking him for being appointed rather than elected he set about trying to be a good and uncontroversial moderator, something which he hopes he achieved with his 'less is more' mantra. His moderating style was laid back and Infractions were only issued very rarely, usually for personal attacks.

| − | October was the month of the [[Staff Rebellion]] against [[Archer]]. Perikles believed something was up when [[Tacticalwithdrawal|Tac]] resigned. Later he found out Archer had removed him due to him supposedly reading PM's on MYSQL, however he was not sure of the factuality of this. As a moderator at the time, he was invited to sign a letter which called for the removal of Archer and was to be posted in staff with the signatures of those who agreed to put their name to it. In Perikles' opinion it was a good and balanced letter and argued not against Archer as a person but his lack of leadership and communication skills. The letter called for his resignation from Imperator to either Hex or Staff or the general membership. A few days later Perikles logged on to find [[TWC]] in chaos (yet again and not for the last time). Archer had just demoted everyone and promoted [[HG]] to Hex ( this being the HG who then saw some unfavourable things about him in Hex, which had some bigger consequences for TWC down the line) along with [[Belisarius]] to Admin. Eventually after much arguing, all those who had been demoted, were repormoted, and HG and Belisarius (who eventually returned) left TWC. Hex became a supposed council of equals and everyone was happy (well we'll see about that later on). | + | October was the month of the [[Staff Rebellion]] against [[Archer]].

| − | TWC was going fine, M2TW was just out, the moderation was perfect, the debates were going well and the mods for M2TW were just appearing. Perikles asked General Sun if he knew [[TWC]] was up for sale (which was commonish knowledge at the time) in passing conversation. GS was amazed and soon [[Evariste]] and [[Professor420]] joined the conversation. Perikles simultaneously asked [[imb39]] if he was interested in the plan to buy the site and he joined the conversation 5 minutes later and offered to buy the site outright. After approaching [[Ogre]] and finding out about the pitiful zboard offer (£1500 for the whole ON network) they were ecstatic, but worried at how far into the deal ON were. The long wait for Ogre to decide on who to sell to began and during this time [[Besim]] reappeared at TWC...

| − | At first many thought that the reappearance of this Network Admin was good, but the longer he stayed the more he wanted to interfere in things he did not understand. For more details on Besim's reasons for meddling in TWC, destabilising the site and, in Perikles' opinion, hindering the sale of the site please see [[Of the Exile]]. Perikles logged on TWC one morning to find:

| − | He immediately went on msn and started talking to Besim, inviting all the other staff on msn to the conversation. A few compromises were hammered out, such as getting the Curia back and imb39 (who had resigned the previous week), Lusted (who had been demoted) and I were given access to the Admin Control Panel to fix the ranks. However Besim did not give us the required access so it was pointless, and Perikles just ended up reading Hex for half an hour (haha). While reading Hex he saw a thread about future members of Hex, out of the 4 on the shortlist all but one have been on Hex (no surprises who guessing on the only odd one out was, but your truly). Then [[Professor420]] was banned, Perikles told Besim he could not just do that at TWC, it was not how we operated by threatening members and banning them. He then threatened to ban Perikles for dissenting! This was a big mistake on his part as Perikles was now determined to rid TWC of Besim. Perikles immediately added Prof's [[Of the Exile]] article to his Signature in the now infamous 'The Truth' style and encouraged others to do so. Soon after, he opened a thread polling the members on what they thought of Besim ([http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=71380 Link]) however Besim removed the poll and added it to this thread ([http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=71466 Link]) the results were obvious to see. After some flames and trolls between various members (Perikles included he's sorry to say) and network administrators Besim caved in and gave control of [[TWC]] back to [[Hex]]. [[HG]] reappeared during this episode, on the side of Besim, and the plotting of the next and final crisis is said to have begun immediately after the fall of Besim...

| − | One Tuesday in January Perikles was visiting TWC. It was 6 weeks since Besim and his activity had declined sharply. Not only had he been rejected by the Curia in the CDC elections and by certain others, people were saying he had tried to 'destroy the site' and after Ogre said he wasn't going to sell TWC he found logging on a chore, let alone moderating or posting. He felt slightly betrayed and bitter during this time. In his opinion he had helped get rid of an 'idiot' (Perikles' opinion yet again, to put it nicely) and been snubbed by the people it had helped. Then he refeshed the main TWC Index and suddenly the Staff Forum and Curia were gone and to his utter amazement [[Richard the Lionheart]] had a bold purple name (One really can not understand how much of a surprise this was, being an Englishman Perikles' spat out his tea - haha). On joinng the thread in the Suggestus he thought this was a joke, surely the most hated person on TWC was not really an admin, how wrong Perikles was. As more facts emerged people began to realise this was not a joke.

| − | The next day Perikles logged on in the morning to see if there were any developments. He found half the forum banned and in disgust he posted something about 'HG loving Ogre' (in harsher terms). When [[gigagaia]] saw it he told Perikles to edit it out quickly as we didn't want everyone banned. So he quickly edited it and then imb39 presented him with a perfect snipe at HG, asking what his vision for the future was (You really can't pass up such an opportunity). You can see his reply to imb's post in the 'Quotes' section below, he was banned immediately.

| − | ====New Site====
| |
| − | | |
| − | On the Wednesday night it was decided a new site was to be created to rival TWC. Simetrical set this up and Lusted/imb39 began the organisation of such a move. Luckily Simetrical had made a database backup quickly before he lost his admin powers, meaning the transition would be easy. The name [[Total War Horde]] was chosen at first with an aim of buying [[Total War Zone]] and then moving to that in the not too distant future. Lusted organised for about half the mods at TWC to leave there altogether and join the new forum, while the rest were going to maintain a presence at both.

| − | ====Dispair and Triumph====
| |
| − | | |
| − | People were being banned and unbanned and chaos reigned over the forums. Not just the Curia and staff but all the members were in revolt. The plan for the new forum was going smoothly until they hit legality issues with the database. In another sneaky trick [[Spirix]] registered TWH.com and put a redirect to TWC there to try and confuse people in finding the new site. Things were going down hill.
| |
| − | With HG in charge at TWC and legality problems with using the TWC database for the new site the plans stalled. Forum life was going back to normal and this did much good for HG's cause as a stable TWC meant he had won in taking over the forum and imposing his will over it. However when [[Archer]] and [[Meiyogen]] put many of the senior members on a global ignore list known as 'Coventry' they made a big mistake. TWC began to revolt again and the spamming of the forums began as [[Ozymandias]] and Perikles incited people to spam the forum with the link to [[Archer's Plot]]. Then people began to be IP banned and in conjunction with [[imb39]], Perikles was given permission to spam the link to the new forum. Using the account mafiaboss he opened 10 threads each containing the link to the new forum, they were soon deleted, but people had seen the link and soon began to spam it too, the word of the new forum was out. Satisfied TWC was at it's knees and knowing imb39 had an important msn meeting coming up with Ogre than night Perikles went to bed. On waking up in the morning TWC was under the ownership of imb39, with the chance for everyone to control and influence it's future.

The story of Perikles' short but eventful time at TWC
Beginnings
After joining in February 2006, Perikles became a regular of the Political Mudpit where he was noticed by a few members as being potential Civitate material. His mainly rightist ideology was shared by members such as Carach and the Black Prince, while he often debated agaisnt Shyam Popat and Ozymandias. He was eventually patronized by Ummon a month after joining, and joined the ranks of the Curia just before the April Fools Joke upon the members.
Summer 2006
After the ensuing crisis of alleged widespread use of PM's to canvass for votes he was controversially appointed a Moderator along with Evariste and Seleukos.
The Depression
Staff
October was the month of the Staff Rebellion against Archer. A letter called for his resignation from Imperator to either Hex or Staff or the general membership. TWC was in chaos (yet again and not for the last time). Archer had just demoted everyone and promoted HG to Hex ( this being the HG who then saw some unfavourable things about him in Hex, which had some bigger consequences for TWC down the line) along with Belisarius to Admin. Eventually after much arguing, all those who had been demoted, were repormoted, and HG and Belisarius (who eventually returned) left TWC. Hex became a supposed council of equals and everyone was happy (well we'll see about that later on).
The Ongoing Saga of Selling the Site
Besim
Perikles logged on TWC one morning to find:
- A New Skin that was Pink
- Half of Hex demoted
- The Curia deleted (well removed from view)
- All Civitates and Patricians demoted
Professor420 was quickly banned, Perikles told Besim he could not just do that at TWC, it was not how we operated by threatening members and banning them. He then threatened to ban Perikles for dissenting! After some flames and trolls, Besim caved in and gave control of TWC back to Hex. Notably, HG reappeared during this episode.
Honor&Glory
It was 6 weeks since Besim and his activity had declined sharply. He found logging on a chore, let alone moderating or posting. Then he refeshed the main TWC Index and suddenly the Staff Forum and Curia were gone and to his utter amazement Richard the Lionheart had a bold purple name (One really can not understand how much of a surprise this was, Perikles' spat out his tea - haha). On joining the thread in the Suggestus he thought this was a joke, surely the most hated person on TWC was not really an admin, how wrong Perikles was. As more facts emerged people began to realise this was not a joke. Perikles was soon banned.
