From time to time I'd participate in Tale of the Week as well as appear in random areas. For a time I was a member of the Curial Peanut Gallery™, lurking in its commentary thread and dropping two pence from time to time. Hotseating had a bit of a civil war that I was tangentially involved in. Eventually I was patronized, with a surprisingly favorable vote.

I entered Staff a couple of times, generally not lasting long because I was a bit too argumentative and hotheaded and had no concept of managing burnout. As such I served very brief stints as a [[Scriptorium|Librarian]], member of the Wiki Team twice, and an obscure stint as Discord Staff. Until 2022, almost everything I did on the wiki was as a regular user often in coordination with the [[Makanyane|wiki director]] of the time.

I also held office in the Curia a few times; once as a [[Praefect]] before that position was removed, once as a [[Magistrate]] (though [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?804945-VoNC-CommodusIV rather briefly]) and one term as [[Consul]] in late 2021. I don't consider any of these to have been remarkable and I generally wasn't too qualified or revolutionary, but they make for a colorful badge list below.

I entered Staff a couple of times, not lasting long because I was a bit hotheaded and failed to manage burnout. I served very brief stints as a [[Scriptorium|Librarian]], a member of the Wiki Team twice, and as part of the very obscure Discord Staff. Despite having entered the wiki team formally a few times, my award-backed achievements have been as a regular member often in coordination with [[Makanyane]], a long-time Wiki Director who sadly retired in 2022.

At one point I rediscovered my 2015 account and tried to have a fresh start on that; likewise I made a different account to increment my username at the time. I also tried out the profile of an eldrich boss from Zelda. None of these were well advised or successful, same with a small series of blogs which I've since had purged from the record. I'm not particularly proud of my earlier shenanigans, but they're better than some of my earlier shenags on Steam. All is to say I've done dumb stuff.

Turn of the year, 2022. I knew I had a problem and I tried to work on it. I gave a stint in Moderation a go on a whim, and it wasn't half bad. I bugged the poor [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?410442-Caillagh-de-Bodemloze Content Hex] yet again about joining Wiki Team and that worked out too. I also rebranded off infamous roman emperors because I liked 'dfk' as an acronym and 'Dismounted Feudal Knight' sounded better in my head before I saw the gnarly new line in my post blurb. Eh, it works.

I've had a few branding issues, usually between stints in offices or Staff. They included making a new account to increment my original name, rebranding to an endrich antagonist from the Zelda series, and rediscovering my 2015 account and rebranding it to be a sentient cat. I've also tried my hand at blogging, after which I decided the blogs were cringy and had them purged. I can be a little eccentric.

In 2022 I 'got my shit together', settled on branding as some unit from Medieval 2, and began a stint as a Moderator which lasted most of the year.

In early 2023 I finished the aforementioned life events sooner than expected, and took on a fairly casual curial role as Magistrate.

At the close of 2022 I became involved in something else which I expected to take me offline for a long time, and thus I resigned my roles and disappeared. What I expected to take ~8 months ended up lasting a good month. So in early 2023, I booked the next spot for Magistrate and I've been futzing ever since. TWC history is long and full of twists... stay tuned. :p

For a time I was interested in Modding Staff, but it seemed to be over not long after it had begun, plus I was probably too discombobulated to make a difference in it. Besides, everything that interested me about became possible in my final two roles. I was also vaguely interested in Technical for a while, but my experience didn't quite meet my gaze and that was well after the technical side of the site had disappeared anyway.

Forum Profile:Here

Hello there. I am Dismounted Feudal Knight, currently a Magistrate on TWC. Among other things I have been a moderator, a Staff wiki editor and freelance wiki editor, a curialist, and occasionally a bit of a spitfire. I've changed brand a few times since joining in 2017; in my earlier TWC years I impersonated an infamous Roman emperor. I tend to participate in bursts.

PMs are gucci

There's also raidarr#6550 on Discord if you prefer, and I'm found under that name through the topically related strategygaming.com site.

Wee bit of 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 began to participate in Tale of the Week and the Curial Commentary Thread, in the meantime engaged in 'light reading' of the site's extended history. Hotseating had a civil war that I was tangentially involved in.

Eventually I was patronized by King Athelstan. My antics in the CCT became antics within the Curia. I'd go on about its future and ideas from time to time. At this point I was a bit of an awards grouch.

I entered Staff a couple of times, not lasting long because I was a bit hotheaded and failed to manage burnout. I served very brief stints as a Librarian, a member of the Wiki Team twice, and as part of the very obscure Discord Staff. Despite having entered the wiki team formally a few times, my award-backed achievements have been as a regular member often in coordination with Makanyane, a long-time Wiki Director who sadly retired in 2022.

I've held office in the Curia a few times. Once as a Praefect before that position was removed, once as a Magistrate (rather briefly) and one term as Consul in late 2021. None of these terms were very accomplished. Frankly neither is the current Magistrate term as there is little to preside over these days, despite it lasting longer than the first time.

I've had a few branding issues, usually between stints in offices or Staff. They included making a new account to increment my original name, rebranding to an endrich antagonist from the Zelda series, and rediscovering my 2015 account and rebranding it to be a sentient cat. I've also tried my hand at blogging, after which I decided the blogs were cringy and had them purged. I can be a little eccentric.

2022-2023

In 2022 I 'got my shit together', settled on branding as some unit from Medieval 2, and began a stint as a Moderator which lasted most of the year. I also bugged the Content Hex about putting me on the Wiki Team again. I didn't do a lot with the latter but I think I did reasonably well as a moderator.

At the close of 2022 I became involved in something else which I expected to take me offline for a long time, and thus I resigned my roles and disappeared. What I expected to take ~8 months ended up lasting a good month. So in early 2023, I booked the next spot for Magistrate and I've been futzing ever since. TWC history is long and full of twists... stay tuned. :p

  • site awards
  • awards hitlist in no particular order
    • flinn -> curial service

    • realm56 -> citizenship on account of just good contribution in general, despite activity being in flux
    • various hotseating forum members -> modding awards for hotseat tweaks and citizenship for long-term memberships and participation, however I defer to the operators of the forum to push the ball on these
    • Sara Temer -> possible opifex as the leading shogun modder on the site
    • Belovèse -> citizenship
    • WeekendGeneral -> take your pick of modding awards given his broken crescent work and the fact he still shows up to help
    • RafSwi7 -> obvious citizen for continued staff work, modding work and other participation that is ongoing
