Overview
Diamat is an established member of TWC, recognizable due to his Saxon pride, communist past and love of forumite artifice and pomp. He is a regular in Thema Devia and is well-known there for frequently sparking or becoming involved in debate, a rather novel phenomenon in that area. He is fairly older than many Devians and probably the most academically accomplished. Aside from time spent being silly in Thema Devia, he sometimes debates in certain areas of the Discussion and Debate fora.
After naming himself "Pope of the Church of Meloncat" some time in Spring 2012, the title "Pigeon-Pope" was granted to him by a Devian. Since then - and despite Diamat's attempts to make clear that he is in fact a budgie - the pigeon sobriquet has endured.
History
Having joined the site in April 2010, it's only really in early 2012 that Diamat emerged in the community, namely when he became involved in the "Devian Monarchy" and changed his name from Admiral_TvS, adopting his iconic current avatar. Since then he has participated in a myriad of ventures, from rep-whoring to modding (creating a successful submod for Darthmod Napoleon, focusing on Saxony), role-playing, a stillborn Potato Competition, a cooking thread, image editing and the creation of Dolan-style TWC comics. He was patronized by Dark Storm and awarded with citizenship on August 12th by a unanimous vote of the council. Shortly after, he joined the Silver Shield content team. He emerged from the Scriptorium Summer Writing Competition with a silver award.
He conducted an interview with the owner of the site, GrnEyedDvl, as a Silver Shield Special Edition release. It was published on December 2nd, 2012.
