After joining in February 2006 I became a regular of the Political Mudpit where I was noticed by a few members as being potential Civitate material. Eventually patronised by [[Ummon]] a month after joining, I joined the ranks of the Curia just before the [[April Fools Joke]] on the members. During this period I became friendly with [[imb39]] after he conned me into believing that [[Crandar]] really had returned (Damn him!). When [[Ummon]] left the site in May I transferred patronage to imb39 and haven't looked back.

After being a member of both the [[CoP]] and [[CdeC]] in the Summer of 2006 I asked to be entered into some moderator elections that may take place while I was on holiday. Upon returning from holiday I found I was in an election and many had thought I had left due to my inactivity. After the ensuing crisis of alledged widespread use of PM's to canvass for votes I was appointed a [[Moderator]] along with Evariste and Seleukos. With the [[Curia]] now attacking me for being appointed rather than elected I set about trying to be a good moderator, something which I hope I achieved with my 'less is more' mantra. My moderating style is laid back and Infractions are only issued very rarely, usually for personnal attacks.

October was the month of the [[Staff Rebellion]] against [[Archer]]. I knew something was up when [[Tacticalwithdrawal|Tac]] resigned. Later I found out Archer had removed him due to him supposedly reading PM's on MYSQL however I am not sure of the factuality of this. I was invited to sign a letter which called for the removal of Archer and was to be posted in staff with the signatures. It was a great letter really and argued not against Archer as a person but his lack of leadership and communication skills. The letter called for his resingation from Imperator to either Hex or Staff or the general membership. A few days later I came online to find [[TWC]] in chaos yet again. Archer had just demoted everyone and promoted [[HG]] to Hex (who saw some unfavourable things about him which had some bigger consequences for TWC down the line) along with [[Belisarius]] to Admin. Eventually after much arguing everyone got back in Staff and HG and Belisarius (who eventually returned and has since become Content Manager) left TWC. Hex became a supposed council of equals and everyone was happy (well we'll see about that later on).

TWC was going fine, MTW2 was just out, the moderation was perfect, the deabates were going well and the mods were just appearing. Then I asked General Sun if he knew [[TWC]] was up for sale (which was commonish knowledge at the time) in passing conversation. He was amazed and we soon had [[Evariste]] and [[Professor420]] in our conversation. In my other msn window was [[imb39]], I asked him if he was interested in our 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's offer we were ecstatic, but worried at how far into the deal ON were. The long wait for Ogre to decide began and during this time [[Besim]] reappeared at TWC...

I immediatly went on msn and started talking to Besim, inviting all the other staff on msn to the conversation. We hammered out some compromises 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. Then [[Professor420]] was banned, I 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 me for dissenting! This was a big mistake on his part as I was now dead set agaisnt him.

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.
