This user is retired. They've buggered off without saying boo to anyone (not that they know anyone here who would miss them).
Their expected return date is: rarely. If you're lonely, or you miss them, leave a message.

Disappointingly Short Talk Page

Commander of the Order

I am a sysop on RationalWiki and an editor on Wikipedia and StrategyWiki under the same username. I can also be found on Youtube, as well as on a woefully neglected profile on Flickr.

Feel free to email me if you have any issues. I no longer edit here that much, and I don't obsessively check my talk page every five minutes anymore. : )

I try to maintain a policy of graciousness and politeness, generally leaving adequate edit summaries and remaining civil as much as possible.

Someday, I hope to be funny.

[edit] Downgrading

As of midnight, January 11^th, 2008, I am officially downgrading on Uncyclopedia from serious addict to semi-retired editor.

I used to be addicted to Uncyclopedia. But now I'm barely here at all. Yah, I used to think this was the wiki for me. But after a month-long furious effort to get my prize article featured (resulting in my edit count skyrocketing from about 525 to over 1,200 in only a few weeks), followed by a two-week ban, during which I continued editing using a meatpuppet, things have just sort of petered out. I feel very little motivation to continue contributing at anything more than a sluggish pace (as opposed to my frantic 20+ edits a day on RationalWiki). I guess I lost the "magic", whatever it was.

Guess I just want to express how much Uncyclopedia has meant to me.

Most of my major activities now take place on RationalWiki. I like it better there. The community and article collection are smaller, so any major contributions are acknowledged relatively quickly.</narcissism> But what I like most about RationalWiki is that it has the right balance of humor and seriousness for me. There, I can be goofy, yet when I want to discuss something seriously, I know others will respect that. And then, on another page at the exact same time, be funny again. I love that.

RationalWiki and I may or may not be married by the end of the weekend.

[edit] You say po-tay-toh, I say puh-tah-toh

I say "meatpuppet" and not sockpuppet because I did not use them to bolster each other's support, as true sockpuppets do. I created a different persona for the meat/sockpuppet, even going so far as create a slightly different writing style for him. RA's style is wordy, pseudonymous tries to use as few words as grammatically possible, RA is casual in his politeness, pseudonymous is more formal, RA always capitalizes the first word of his edit summaries and ends with a period, whether it was a complete sentence or not, while pseudonymous only does so for complete sentences. Perversely, RA avoids using wiki-lingo, even in edit summaries, but pseudonymous does. Radioactive doesn't touch Pee Review, pseudonymous wrote three in his first couple weeks. And I strove to ensure that the two never mentioned each other, and neither of them involved themselves in anything too close to the other. Lastly, and most significantly, Hans is the serious one, the one who discusses issues concerning Uncyclopedia in a serious manner. Through him, I wanted to forge a more respectable reputation—respectable as I defined it, not Uncyclopedia.

As long as I'm on the subject, the sockpuppet I dared people to find is Drunken Kennedy. I used him to say things that I knew would be unpopular (i.e. "Zombies are a fad!" regarding a mediocre article that would go on to succeed on VFH, because it was about zombies). I didn't use him that much.

[edit] Old Whiny-ness from My Noobhood

Hmmm... This isn't working out... In fact, it is utterly depressing. I am apparantly not funny. My earnest attempts at humor seem to end in failure. My only successful major contributions are a complete rewrite to an article which no one reads anyways (despite my desperate work to place a link to it on every vaguely related article) and two templates which no one uses.

~~I think I'll stop for a while, and come back when I'm actually funny or when my blood sugar is back up (whichever takes longer).~~

My blood sugar has recovered, and I'm ready to try my luck at this "humor" business again.

[edit] Real Estate

Due to hyperterritorialism, I have registered certain usernames similar to mine. The purpose of this is not for sockpuppets or meatpuppets, however, but more like... a locking up of adjacent real estate.
