Hello there. I am Dismounted Feudal Knight, as of recent a Modding Hex (an administrator) and the Wiki Director of TWC. You'll find me on most corners of the site at one time or another.
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.
After a few days of experience as a Director the administration decided I was a pretty good cleanup guy and dipped me in red paint. And now, here we are...
Profile Bits
Current Roles
In order of attainment, not in profile display per se
Badge | Description |
---|---|
(?) | Modding Hex as of October 24th, 2023. |
(?) | Site Moderator (leaning towards TW sections) as of June 27th, 2023. Elevated slightly to be deputy overseer October 24th, 2023. |

(?) | Appointed October 2023 |

Awards
Award | Type | Reason |
---|---|---|
Silver Wiki Editor Award | The mark of my wiki history, mostly outside of staff. Achieved Bronze on June 3rd, 2019 and Silver on April 28th, 2020. Achieved Gold on June 3rd, 2023. First of a kind! | |
Moderator's Mace (Emerald) | The once-pretty mace smashed so many bots, random threads and objects I stubbed my toe on that it's turned a sickly green. Or maybe I've lined it with poison for more damage, I don't remember.
At least it's not red! |
Previous Roles
Badge | Description |
---|---|
(?) | Elected February 18th, 2023. Ostensibly I reviewed appeals of moderator actions. There were no cases... |
(?) | First stint from February 5th, 2022 to December 2022. |
(?) | Third run in Wiki Team from February 24th, 2022 to December 2022. I've retained the on-wiki access acquired during this term. This access has been superseded as of latest Content involvement. |
(?) | Elected on May 11th, 2021, a brief and fairly unremarkable term. |
(?) | Elected June 6th, 2020 as a local moderator of the Curia; served shortly before the position was eliminated. |
(?) | Discord Staff, as of May 10th, 2020. This is the root of why I appear as Technical Staff on the discord server. |
(?) | A very short term to evaluate cases that were brought to the Tribunal. Very very short period. |
(?) | A brief stint in the twilight days of Scriptorium activity, 2018. |
(?) | Wiki Team twice around the 2018 period, short rounds interspersed with freelance editing. |
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 elevation to Wiki Director and Hex in a short period this section is not stable and priorities are being shuffled. Stay tuned...
Rambling from an errant knight
- Archiving of Total War Center - Thoughts and progress on a morbid contingency, should TWC itself not survive in coming years
- Assorted thoughts - A bit of rambling about site direction, rendered very obsolete right now given my recent changes in roles. To be updated soon I hope
Wiki projects
- Upload Sites - unfortunately a problem of growing urgency. remember imgbb, remember to prod various people about their hosting choices. Expand to include image hosts?
This section will likely shrink and possibly disappear unless I think of a way to keep it around.
Other efforts
- I hold the title of censor in order to help develop the TWC Living History Forum, which sadly has not lived much for some time and is due for refresh. I should have updates on this fairly soon.
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.
