}}Hello there. I am '''Dismounted Feudal Knight''', currently a [[Magistrate]] on TWC. Among other things I was a [[moderator]], [[Wiki Team|Staff wiki editor]]/Wiki hobbyist, a [[Curia|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 was a known impersonator of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodus infamous Roman emperors]. These days I'm just sitting back and showing up from time to time.

}}Hello there. I am '''Dismounted Feudal Knight''', a member of TWC's somewhat elusive [[Hexagon Council]]. Technically my domain is modding, however you'll find me just about anywhere, assisting both [[Moderation]] and [[Content]]. Other functions include being [[Wiki Director]], being a relatively common sight in the [[Curia]], and sponsoring various activities or discussions.

===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 and have retired from efforts to play it competitively, but I'm still known by some in the community.
  
There's also '''raidarr#6550''' on Discord if you prefer, and I'm found under that name through the topically related strategygaming.com site.
+
I expanded from hotseating into Tale of the Week in the [[Writers' Study]], reading [[History of Total War Center|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.
  
==Wee bit of history==
+
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, when people talk about Commodus they generally refer to me.
I have been aware of the site existing since 2013-2014 or so. I registered in 2015, but did nothing significant and forgot about 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 it, but I did manage to get [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?759482-Britannia-Expansion-Custom-Submod-The-Isles-of-Chaos-(Roleplay-Hotseat) this thing] started.
 
  
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.
+
===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 anticipating a long departure, but was able to return in February 2023.
  
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.
+
Shortly after returning I took on the role of [[Magistrate]]. It went better than the [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?804945-VoNC-CommodusIV 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 noticed only near the end of the term.
  
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.
+
Following the expiration of my term in late June I re-entered the Moderation Staff, where I continue similar work as before cleaning up stickies, whacking spam and taking care of loose ends. Shortly after came a renewed interest in wiki editing. This lasted for several months.
  
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.
+
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 become the Wiki Director, a role that had been vacant since Mak's retirement a few years prior.
  
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.
+
Shortly after, the administration decided I was a pretty good cleanup guy and dipped me in red paint, making me the newest Hex to date. My primary area is Modding, a fitting extension of the sort of work I did as a moderator. In December I gained full admincp access and started to make little-used areas disappear and begin a broader scale cleanup.
  
I had a quiet but stable tenure lasting up to the beginning of December by which time I sent a message noting I would need to move on, as new things have come up in my life where TWC won't be able to follow. Thus I retired back to Civitate.
+
==2024==
 +
Right out of the gate I had the... honor... of announcing the end of [[Gaming Staff]], which by the time of announcement just officiated the status quo. In February I had the more pleasant role of announcing the revival of the public TWC Cemetery and launching a recruitment drive.  
  
In early 2023 I finished the aforementioned life events sooner than expected, and took on a fairly casual role as Magistrate.
+
In March going into April I took up the hatchet again to assist in an intervention of the Curia when its Consul was being too zealous with moderation tools. I don't think anyone from the early years above quite expected me to (primarily) be the one to implement the Curia's mass simplification. This, along with upcoming actions related to the Tribunal is unlikely to have made many friends among those who are attached to the older 'democratic' institutions. On the other hand I presided over the first April 1st event in years and bribed a few of my critics with easter eggs.

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.

Hello there. I am Dismounted Feudal Knight, a member of TWC's somewhat elusive Hexagon Council. Technically my domain is modding, however you'll find me just about anywhere, assisting both Moderation and Content. Other functions include being Wiki Director, being a relatively common sight in the Curia, and sponsoring various activities or discussions.

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 and have retired from efforts to play it competitively, but I'm still known by some in the community.

I expanded from hotseating into Tale of the Week in the Writers' Study, 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, when people talk about Commodus they generally refer to me.

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 anticipating a long departure, but was able to return in 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 noticed 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 stickies, whacking spam and taking care of loose ends. Shortly after came a renewed interest in wiki editing. This lasted for several months.

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 become the Wiki Director, a role that had been vacant since Mak's retirement a few years prior.

My primary area is Modding, a fitting extension of the sort of work I did as a moderator. In December I gained full admincp access and started to make little-used areas disappear and begin a broader scale cleanup.

2024

Right out of the gate I had the... honor... of announcing the end of Gaming Staff, which by the time of announcement just officiated the status quo. In February I had the more pleasant role of announcing the revival of the public TWC Cemetery and launching a recruitment drive.

In March going into April I took up the hatchet again to assist in an intervention of the Curia when its Consul was being too zealous with moderation tools. I don't think anyone from the early years above quite expected me to (primarily) be the one to implement the Curia's mass simplification. This, along with upcoming actions related to the Tribunal is unlikely to have made many friends among those who are attached to the older 'democratic' institutions. On the other hand I presided over the first April 1st event in years and bribed a few of my critics with easter eggs.
