User:NamelessRumia/Recollection

Recollection is what I'll title this article, which is really a blog post but those are being debated on, that generally goes over my experiences as an administrator and a short-lived bureaucrat on this wiki.

In the Beginning
I've told this story and tweaked it bunch of times so it would fit on my user page correctly, but it basically boils down to "I found Undertale because of MEGALOVANIA, like most former Homestuck fans". I didn't exactly come to this wiki with a desire to be involved with the administration in mind. I was visiting, since that's what people typically do when they complete a game, and noted that the Undertale Wiki was just severely lacking in articles.

I believe I was promoted in Late October of 2015 after I undid several heavy vandalism that occurred to the Sans and Papyrus pages, which was really the pages being put in their respective fonts and the code being infested with numerous and  tags as a result. I was sort of put off since I used to administrate a small politically incorrect echo chamber on 8chan in the past, but eventually got used to it.

Genocide and No Mercy

Early Memes
The Dimensional Box used to be a dumb meme article, before it was revamped to be more serious.

Interactions with Staff
I think it was Psychobilly's idea to form groups for the Administrators and Chat Moderators on Skype back in like, November 2015, then I think Destiny and Media got the staff to move over to Discord sometime on or before February 14, 2016. After that, the invite link to the staff group on Discord expired, so I really can't bother them anymore like an drunkard leaning on a door of a pub and two in the morning.

That aside, here are a bunch of things I remember of each one of them since the "wiki timeline" isn't happening:
 * Velocity Chicken (bureaucrat since October 24, 2015): I never personally spoke to Vel, aside from promotions, but he seemed to generally be a laid-back person. He retied around the same time that I did, which was cool, but I'm still a bit miffed that he retains his color and his role.
 * NamelessRumia (administrator from October 27, 2015, promoted to bureaucrat on May 7, 2016, then retired on May 30, 2016): I was often a bitter and serious person, since I chronically suffered from sleep deprivation and insomnia. I stayed up late to watch over the wiki when I used to administrate it.
 * FoxTheCat (chat moderator from October 30, 2015, until early 2016): I wasn't involved with his promotion, but Fox was just a furry who lives in Germany and labels himself as a "Brony" on Twitter. He disappeared in late 2015, and retired around spring 2016. His demotion was heavily postponed because there wasn't a "former staff members" category yet, but I did it myself on the way out.
 * Virgalyssa (chat moderator since October 30, 2015, quickly promoted to administrator on the same day, promoted to May 7, 2016): I approved of her becoming a chat moderator, for being in chat, but wasn't involved when she was promoted to administrator. I don't necessarily have anything against her, but just lament the idea that we basically put her on a glass ceiling. Watched Vinesauce Joel, likes Persona.
 * Destiny of Awe (chat moderator from November 7, 2015, disappeared in summer 2016): I didn't really get along with Destiny since she kept introducing too many ideas at once? She held some sort of position on the Avatar Wiki and the Gravity Falls Wiki, if I recall correctly.
 * WDINAN? (chat moderator from November 10, 2015, demoted for inactivity in July 4, 2016): I don't think they did much, honestly. Died in Winter 2015, then came back to say they lost interest.
 * Psychobilly2422 (administrator since November 14, 2015): She approached us under a different username at first to avoid her history with a "previous wiki" she administrated. She was a huge help in redecorating the wiki and getting things organized is all I really remember. She did a game that was renamed to "Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion" because of some cease and desist letter. I think she had a connection with Toby Fox herself and tried to chastised me on that.
 * FinnManusia (chat moderator from November 15, 2015 to December 14, 2015): The only memory I have of this person is the Steven Universe Wiki attacking him for voicing some opinions. Poor kid.
 * Seth4564ti (chat moderator from November 16, 2015 to November 22, 2015): He wasn't a bright lad and abused multiple accounts to conduct a raid in chat on some other wiki's chat. He's made a number of attempts to contact the staff after we demoted him. You don't really take a guy who has a "Waifu of the Month" avatar seriously. That's all I'm gonna say about him.
 * Zolton.moon (chat moderator for one minute on November 17, 2015): I actually haven't heard of this mistake until now, but yeah, Virgalyssa accidentally made them a chat moderator for one minute.
 * PhanzonZhan (chat moderator from November 19, 2015 to July 4, 2016): He was another chat moderator that disappeared in winter 2015, so I don't really have much to say about him.
 * Sans the Pun Master (chat moderator since November 19, 2015): Another cool person.
 * What Hapen (chat moderator since November 19, 2015): Haha, "BAN". Okay, moving on.
 * Jaquel (chat moderator since November 19, 2015, promoted to discussions moderator on December 29, 2015): I think he was the one with the bird avatar, right? Yeah? Yeah.
 * Rwarz (chat moderator since November 19, 2015 to December 14, 2015): Seemed like a fun person, but was demoted for unprofessionalism and posting links to porn in chat, apparently. Their avatar used to be some cropped reaction image from some PokéPorn furry comic and that's all I honestly remember.
 * Mediarahan (administrator from November 29, 2015 to July 6, 2016): I think he worked with the "Nice Cream Guy" page first. Very relatable, it seems. He left in like, spring 2015 without saying anything.
 * Kelican (chat moderator from December 14, 2015 to September 10, 2016): Seemed cool. We spoke back in August 2016 about why I left, Pokémon GO, and complained about the wiki together, but that's it.
 * The Name Is Nick (chat moderator since December 14, 2015): Psychobilly sort of begged us to have Nick on the team since it was complimentary. Read the manga, haha, lol.
 * ThePK (administrator since December 22, 2015): They administrate the Steven Universe Wiki and I don't think they really did much, aside from introducing bots or something.
 * KockaAdmiralac (discussions moderator since December 31, 2015, promoted to administrator on January 11, 2016): Off-putting, but he was a real worker. I tried to bant with him.
 * MTT News Reporter (chat moderator and bot since January 28, 2016): A chat bot owned by Kocka, occasionally broke. Actually tried to ban me from chat, which was hilarious.
 * Aicilespear (discussions moderator since February 8, 2016): Did those "Hurt and Heal" game threads that remind me of old internet forums. Really is not that notable. Actually, "Elicia Reaps" backwards.
 * Lilhfg (chat moderator from February 16, 2016 to March 15, 2016): They were ban evading a chat ban from December 2015 and somebody snitched on them, yeah.
 * QMBFXSL (chat moderator since February 20, 2016): They had that Temmie avatar, then changed their avatar to the sack that explodes from LISA the Painful before you fight the dude who kept shining.
 * Cheeseskates (patroller since March 8, 2016, promoted to discussions moderator on July 15, 2016): There was some chat drama back in Winter 2015, other than that I don't really know jack shit about him. He used to be chat all the time and was bothered by my edit count when it used to be #1.
 * Magicdeadly3 (content moderator since March 15, 2016): Who?
 * Jillianbrodsky (patroller from June 18, 2016 to October 23, 2016): The lumpy bird avatar from Tumblr?
 * Man Son You (patroller since September 3, 2016): I haven't seen this person speak.

 * Mamvik: Russian translator. Recognized when I had a Cirno avatar that one time.
 * The JoTS: Responsible for fan album pages. Actually left a message on my wall when I left.
 * An anonymous artist: The main reason why this wiki's background is the "Ruins" instead of the "Castle as seen from Waterfall" to match the purple color scheme. No longer likes Undertale, responsible for:

Retirement
I planned to retire on the start of June 1 or June 7, 2016, but got impatient about it and demoted myself on May 30, 2016 instead. No matter how you look at it, I generally decided to retire when Undertale and everything surrounding it generally became annoying to handle. I mentioned that I'd might return when Undertale gets another huge update, but that seems very unlikely and I'm sorta honestly thankful for that.
