Hello there. I am Dismounted Feudal Knight, currently a Moderator on TWC and recently, the Wiki Director. I'm most likely spotted doing business 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.
Contents
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 absent of cases and the actual work I put in was quality of life updates to TWC threads using permissions I retained from before as Moderator. 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, where I continue similar work as before cleaning up and primarily operating in the TW sections. Shortly after came a renewed interest in wiki editing. In October following PikeStance becoming Consul I took an interest in the Living History forum and entered a capacity as Censor to assist in that forum and to be a backup for Curial business if needed. Shortly following that I was given the opportunity to lead the wiki in Staff.

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.
With some recent changes especially with my relationship with the wiki, this list will change and some isolated ideas may move to other places.
Broad subjects
- Curating - A bit of transparency regarding what I do with the moderator bit. You see what I do on the wiki but not on the forum so this ideally can help convey. No, you don't get the juicy scoop on infractions and bans and people we haul off to convert into Staff Writers etc
- Archiving - Thoughts and progress on a more morbid contingency, should TWC itself not survive in coming years
- Assorted thoughts - A bit of rambling about site direction.
Wiki projects
- User:Dismounted Feudal Knight/TWC staff, curia and ownership
- TWC Wiki Policy & Guidelines
- possible refresh, not sure though.
- TWC Wiki:Help
- Resolving SafeDisc errors a strong candidate to transplant from twc to the wiki for updates as required
- Upload Sites - unfortunately a problem of growing urgency, it's a rather big topic...
Previous stuff
- Citizenships: I have a couple potential patronages that haven't moved. I mean to finish those eventually but my interest in this has waned badly. My interest in the Censor role is strictly to compliment other tasks - primarily, to help curate the Living History forum.
