My History On Wikia
I joined Wikia on November 16, 2015. I was originally on another wiki, and stayed there for a number of months. I made a few friends, but soon made a rookie mistake that's let to a petty and pointless rivalry, which I've since been let go of. While there, I became a Patroller, and then an Administrator. Eventually, I was kicked out for attempting to oust a Patroller who was very much unfit for the position. I spent the next few months in a futile attempt to oust them, but it was in vain. Since this time, numerous people have been banned or left for unrelated reasons, and the wiki overall has gone downhill. However, I will say that another former member of the wiki, who I am still associated with, was smart enough to leave as well. I then went to numerous wikis for a short time, one of which was Watch Dogs Wiki. After this, I spent a couple of months drifting around Wikia in search of a new permanent wiki, and this led to me eventually settling in Fallout Wiki. I edited numerous articles concerning Fallout Shelter there, and mainly stayed in chat. Eventually, in March 2017, I started editing more, and spent the summer making friends and enjoying myself. I spent the fall in the wiki's Discord server, getting to know others from that wiki, including JackiBackiBoy. However, in late 2017 I started to think about the future, and different weights and burdens I had on myself. I decided to evict myself from Fallout wiki through slightly drastic measures, as simply leaving, with or without announcement, would allow me to return (Principle that states people return after announcing they'll leave the internet). After this, I focused my time on Wikia on this wiki, which I'd been an Administrator on since August 2017. Upon reflection, I feel letting go of all dead weight or burdens (places that might be good, but won't be to much benefit in the long run, petty rivalries, etc.) was very good for me, as since then I've determined a lot of things, including plans for my future. I consider 2016 as my worst year on Wikia, 2017 my rebuilding year, and 2018 is my reinvention year. My original wiki was the reason for 2016 being my worst year on Wikia, while Fallout Wiki allowed me to rebuild myself. Red Dead Wiki, and other things, are allowing me to make 2018 my reinvention year.

My History Here
I've been on Wikia since 2015, and came here for the first time in 2016. Eventually, I started to edit here, and would usually report and revert vandalism, and stay in chat. Eventually, I was given staff rights due to my actions and because of how I am very active and reliable. I mainly stay in the wiki's Discord channel, while looking for vandalism and watching the Discussions. I created the Discord server for the wiki on October 26, 2017. On December 31, 2017, I inducted two users as the first inductees into the Hall Of Gunslingers, and awarded the first Spawny Award. In April of 2018, I unaffiliated Red Dead Wiki from Red Dead Myths Wiki.

Red Dead Experience
I've been playing Red Dead Redemption since the middle of 2015. Once I figured out what to do, I played the campaign, and then free played a lot. I would replay the campaign many times until I got bored and stopped playing. I tried to play online, but it was to limited and no one was in any server I looked, so I quit. I still have the game, but I haven't played in a while.

Policy As A Staff Member
I am not a strict person when it comes to rules or rule breakers. If a user makes a simple mistake or there is a misunderstanding, I am willing to overlook it and inform you of your mistake. However, if a user breaks a major rule, I will not hesitate to block for a certain amount of time. I will not give indefinite blocks for everything, but if I do, it is because you have violated the rules to many times. Red Dead Wiki is a place where users who have made mistakes in the past can change, but if they refuse to change, they will not be welcomed warmly. However, should a user be a user known for bad behavior enters the wiki and continues that bad behavior, they will not be given any second chances. If I have invested trust into a user, then once the user has violated that trust in a major way, it will be very hard or impossible to regain that trust. Should a user create a web of lies, it will be met with a warning to not lie to a member of staff, especially if it's a major lie. Although that wouldn't result in a block, it would end any trust between the maker of the lie and other users.
