Two years of my life I have spent moderating this wiki. Two whole entire god damn years.

And I regret none of it.

I have learned more than ever possible in terms of being social here than anywhere else in my entire life. I still remember when I first joined how Live! Chat was a thing, and every single day you could log on here and pop right in to talk with other users. I was a simple person, a FANDOM noob at the time. Being the grammar nazi I was, I found the wiki after finding ToS on my own by looking up "free online web browser multiplayer games". Then, seeing what the hell a FANDOM was, I searched for this and discovered it. Since I liked the Jailor role, I went over to the Jailor page and saw a little bit of errors.

I fixed them, popped onto the Live! Chat, and begun my little trek of my own.

I don't know what happened, I guess something churned in my head as I got right to work, fixing up pages and editing some threads. I started becoming a true "user" in the family, and I decided to ask for Chat Moderator, since others had previously done it and I felt ready. Around mid-November I think, I had risen to a high popularity and was more likely going to win Townie of the Month. I was excited.

And then Naru promoted me, even granting me Rollback, forfeiting my right to run in the race. I tried defending as anyone could but soon accepted the responsibility of resigning from the race. I logged onto the chat that day, kicked a user, and honestly had fun.

A couple months later, it was January. During this time, danganronpa threads and other minigames were played here. DRRP wiki barely existed and was new. I remember playing a few, murdering Hawaiian by slitting his throat open, trying to "execute" Addfire (the "overlord" of the game) since I knew I was already doomed, and was voted to execution anyway. After this experience, I tried something of my own, here. A little game called "The Psychopath". Due to my little bit of popularity, I got the game running. It was basically a game where someone at random was chosen to be the psychopath; an unkillable murderer who could rampage at any time and kill people by any means, while people had to survive for about a week with their own special skills. There was a shop and daily jobs required for you to do and everything. Sure, they could knock out the Psychopath, but as deaths continued with nobody knowing who it would be, people got desperate. The rest of the group tied up a suspicious person who didn't post in a while to a tree. Someone had a revolver. They knew bullets would bounce off the Psychopath, and what did they do? They shot that person against the tree, or at least did by accident. A large hole in their head indicated it wasn't them.The death sparked a rampage as two people qere quickly slaughtered on the last day after the car they needed was fixed. Hobbling towards police sirens, the last survivor was caught and murdered quickly.

The game was extremely fun and exciting. Most of the players loved it. It was unique and different from any Danganronpa games and had its own twist.

A few months past, I tried making a sequel, it wasn't as successful as the first but we still had an okay time. By now, most pages were fixed and cleared up by me. I asked the others whether I should apply for a role nobody had gotten to yet that was still new in the book: Content Moderator. I applied after some discussion and got it a few days later. I couldn't believe it. By this time though, Live! Chat was about dead.

Then, I departed in June of 2017 due to family matters for about a month and 6 days. People got worried; I left without warning. I popped up in August randomly and sparked a wave of "WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU, ZED?" and other things. Yadda yadda yadda.

Then the Coven cam around, and the wiki was busy again. I risked applying for Administrator, the highest position available for non-game developers/forum moderators. I got it. The Coven was a shock' tens of pages needed to be created for each role and stuff was going crazy.

Over the next few months, wiki activity died down slowly. I did too. Now, I still edited and worked and chatted, but not as occasionally as before.

I've seen about 30 users I knew leave and never return. Some came back, which was nice, but the ones I started FANDOM with early on were gone. Now, I remain as that admin who logs on each day to check wiki activity and sometimes edit a page with new info or to fix some spelling. And that's okay.

I don't think I could give up the wiki now, not with what I have contributed to it. I hope that I can stay here as long as possibly and keep seeing new and old users filter through.

Thank you, ToS community. You truly did shape me into the person I am today. You were my escape from hard situations and my place to have fun.

Thank you.
