Hader's TWC Profile [1]
History
Hader first joined TWC in March 2006. He began to become involved in the world of modding at TWC about a month later, inspired mostly by Lusted's Terrae Expugnandae mod for RTW. In mid-April, he was patronised by Archer for his contributions to the Total War Community, including guides, tutorials, and his growing overall good standing amongst the populace. He was appointed Tribounos (junior moderator) in early September 2006, and later, Global Tribounos (senior moderator) in mid-March 2007. Hader served as a Senior Moderator for over one and a half years until his resignation in November 2008. He signed on as a moderator again in December 2009 as a junior moderator, but immediately given global mod powers due to his prior experience as a senior moderator and mentor. He resigned again in July 2010 for personal leave, but remained as a Moderator Emeritus, retaining global mod powers for the time being. He currently serves as a Magistrate on the Tribunal.
As a moderator, Hader was at first restricted to moderating only the Total War: Eras forums. This was the case up to and including the time period surrounding the OgresNet crisis, specifically the Staff Rebellion,The Besim Episode,and The Purchase. During this crisis he remained as a moderator for the Eras forums, despite the vast majority of the former moderators (whom OgresNet 'fired') having decided to try and act on setting up a new site, away from the tyranny they were experiencing with OgresNet and H&G. Hader has said, however, that his heart was with the populace of TWC in their defiance of OgresNet and their decisions, and that the only reason he remained on-board as an active junior moderator during the crisis was to act as an inside man. Eventually, when the need for an insider was unnecessary, he resigned, and being one of the last few to do so, left TWC with a minuscule amount of moderators to keep the peace (or what little was left of it).
It wasn't long after Hader joined the ranks of defunct and protesting moderators that imb39 finally managed to purchase the site from OgresNet, ending the crisis. Once imb39 had everything under control, Hader and all the other former moderators were reappointed to their previous roles. Once everything settled down even more, Hader was promoted to Senior Moderator, in light of his experience and service up to and throughout the OgresNet crisis. He served as one of four of the first batch of new senior moderators since the site got its new ownership, and remained in office as a Senior Moderator for 1.5 years. He resigned at the end of this time for personal reasons, and was fairly inactive on the site for nearly a year. He returned in late 2009 as a junior moderator, being granted full global moderator powers in light of his past experience as a Senior Moderator and mentor. He held his spot as junior moderator for another 6 months before resigning again for personal reasons, but this time held the rank of Moderator Emeritus, gaining the privilege to be admitted as a moderator with ease at anytime in the future. He currently serves the TWC staff in a mentor/advisor capacity, along with other Emeritus and standing moderators.
Some of the other duties he has held not related to moderation staff have been a Scriptorium Librarian, a position he held from the moment of the Scriptorium's creation in 2006, making him one of the longest serving librarians, ending his term there with 2.5 straight years of service. He also held the status of Chief Librarian, both officially and unofficially, for a cumulative period of roughly 4 months. He is also a noted contributor to the Scriptorium archives. Hader also was the first, and to this day, only Modding Registrar, in charge of keeping an official catalogue listing all of TWC's registered game modifications. Hader also served two terms on the Consilium de Civitate during his first months as a moderator.
His work on Total War game modifications includes mostly smaller roles in team projects, with his solo contributions being mainly in guides, tutorials, and technical support for both mods and the vanilla game itself. As a moderator (as well as librarian) he brought the first multiplayer sub-fora to the Total War games sections, and assisted in creating a more organized community when he held the now extinct office of Modding Liaison. Aside from that, he has been a diehard fan of Rome Total War and the series itself since before and for the duration of his time at TWC.
Hader is the leader of his own house, The Imperial House of Hader, which was split from the house of Siblesz around the time of the Ogresnet crisis. Hader is the patron of nine citizens, and his house currently has 39 members, making it one of the larger houses of TWC and one of the strongest branches of the house of Siblesz.
Hader currently holds the role of Chief Librarian and Tribunal Magistrate, as well as the unofficial job of Modding Registrar.
