In 2017 he was spurred to engage on TWC by [[Jadli]], who dug him up from a Steam multiplayer community for [[Medieval II: Total War]]. He was patronized by [[King Athelstan]] a few years later. Below is a summary of the various things he's done and participated in, though he is not especially proud of them.
+
I have been aware of the site existing since 2013-2014 or so. I registered in 2015, but did nothing significant with it. In 2017 I was properly absorbed into the twc crack club by Jadli, a prolific organizer in the [[hotseating]] community. In time I became better known for [[Curia]] and commentary participation, with very light presence across most of the forum. From time to time I entered [[staff]], but lacked staying power, confidence, and frankly a fair amount of competence as well.
−
* Participated in [[Hotseating]] after being brought from Steam; rather unsuccessful as the 'meta play' did not suit him (reloads, 'always attack', extensive mechanical gimmicking for best results). Founded [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?759482-Britannia-Expansion-Custom-Submod-The-Isles-of-Chaos-(Roleplay-Hotseat) The Isles of Chaos] hotseat, which despite his commitment issue has managed to run for several years on end.
 
−
* Before dipping out, was involved in and witness to the hotseat drama that lead to the loss of a Gaming Director for the section and a total overhaul in the section's politics and organization.
 
−
* Participated in the Curial Commentary Thread and developed an <s>unhealthy</s> interest in Curial affairs, notable for being one of the odd 3-4 non-citizens to engage in the thread at the time.
 
−
* Briefly participated in and won multiple entries for [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?802-Tale-of-the-Week Tale of the Week]. Despite an interest in writing, it unfortunately never resulted in a reliable presence for the [[Writer's Study]].
 
−
* Became [[Content Staff]] twice. First as part of the [[Scriptorium]] and Wiki Team with interest in the [[Modding Staff]] (never panned out), second as Wiki Team via a long lost, then recovered alias. Both were very short lived tenures ending with resignation upon request.
 
−
*Actually became a citizen in one of the weaker applications of recent years. Somehow it passed, and here we are.
 
−
*Per above, actually made some wiki contributions; mostly for structure, cleanup and maintenance. Also a skin that isn't terribly mobile responsive that the Site Owner liked.
 
−
*Wrote an assortment of train-of-thought blogs that weren't especially coherent, but managed to get an award anyway.
 
−
*Co-founding member of the Discord Staff with its fancy purple title on discord. Didn't last.
 
  
−
On record I've managed to accrue three accounts; one a 2015 creation I forgot about and managed to recover, the second the main alias, and the third a brief attempt to rebrand that was rather stupid and is formally banned upon request. I've also managed to hold several names around the original Commodus brand, a stint in a Majora brand, and now as a humble [[Dismounted Feudal Knights (M2TW Unit)|DFK]].
+
One field I did manage to stand out in was wiki editing, which I've largely contributed to as an ordinary user (indeed, as can anyone) and occasionally as a member of the [[wiki team]]. These days I am a fledgling [[Moderator]] and continue to intermittently tweak, add to and occasionally promote the wiki.

These days I just want to do wiki stuff and play musical barbs in the Curia.

Dismounted Feudal Knight
Twcdfk.png

Moderator of TWC

Badges/Roles:Moderator, Civitate
Patron:King Athelstan
House:The Imperial House of Hader

Hello there. I am Dismounted Feudal Knight. Due to some strange history, some users may know me under other names. If you don't, 'dfk' will do.

I have been aware of the site existing since 2013-2014 or so. I registered in 2015, but did nothing significant with it. In 2017 I was properly absorbed into the twc crack club by Jadli, a prolific organizer in the hotseating community. In time I became better known for Curia and commentary participation, with very light presence across most of the forum. From time to time I entered staff, but lacked staying power, confidence, and frankly a fair amount of competence as well.

One field I did manage to stand out in was wiki editing, which I've largely contributed to as an ordinary user (indeed, as can anyone) and occasionally as a member of the wiki team. These days I am a fledgling Moderator and continue to intermittently tweak, add to and occasionally promote the wiki.
