Ouch, Zed :P I'll take a bite and crack open this nutshell.

First off - you absolutely have done a lot for this wiki. That's partially why you were promoted! Thank you for all of your contributions and time spent to making the place better.

And now lets get riiiiiiight innnnnto the newsssssss
 * I started up in 2015, not 2014! Don't even know me, fam. :'(
 * I used to do a lot of testing in terms of mechanics and bugs. Some testing stuff including the at-the-time-new Disguiser. Remember in late 2016 where the massive Lookout issue was spotted? The person who was listed last was the killer. The stalemate detector which I had tested and then introduced to the Victory page since there wasn't a list. As a fellow tester, you know how much time that can eat up. We both put time into this, just at different times.
 * I would update the community on the wiki and subreddit as soon as I possibly could. I also chose to branch out to the forums. I can't do that much these days due to the different job, but I certainly hop in still. Examples:
 * Passed on the security breach info
 * Passed on Developer updates since not everyone visits the forums
 * Leaked cosmetics multiple times (don't need to be a moderator for that)
 * Spread future updates (go search old comments on article pages. This was before the forums and discussions were a thing here. Before I was a moderator. Even then, moderators are very rarely fed extra info. So though you say I have more information, the reality is that info I am given isn't related to the game itself, but rather politics which go on.)


 * Flairs are a shared thing we do! Anyone can dig through the history of the css page and the javascript page to see our edits. (Don't mind the test edits you and I both run.) We're a team on that. Teamwork.

Maybe I can be considered a Veteran for being around longer, but danggg that's nasty to downplay things. I didn't get promoted to bureaucrat, global moderator, and subreddit moderator for being around long. I did it by being active and helping users. My "golden days" are over because life has changed, but I still plan to continue to provide information, update new cosmetics, and help people when I can.

Not that I even need to be around anyway, because we thankfully have a great community here. People will come and go, but there's always hands willing to help and that is an amazing thing to have.
