About Me

I am a second year undergraduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology which, as the name would suggest, is in Rochester, New York. I am studying Software Engineering – essentially, programming plus all of the processes, paperwork, etc. that I'll be doing in the real world. I have been programming in some capacity since I was eight, and once I discovered programming I simply never stopped writing code. Some of that code I've written was for this very website, and hopefully there will be a fair bit more of that in the near future.

I discovered programming in a game called ROBLOX, and coincidentally that is also where I first discovered roleplaying. One day I was exploring the forums, and noticed a roleplaying section. Curious, I took a look and I was instantly hooked. The content was mostly in the Free RP level, with a small amount of Casual tier games, but at the time even that was high quality content to me. Over the years my interest in the game faded, and although I continued programming after ultimately leaving the community, I did not continue roleplaying.

Years later, I gradually started wanting to get back into roleplaying. I began googling around, and after looking at a few different websites I finally decided that the Guild seemed to be the best of them all. I made an account on December 13, 2014, and started jumping into some games; I quickly decided on sticking to mostly High Casual, but eventually moved more towards Advanced as I realized that most of the games I was in were easily at that level anyway. This was right around the time that Mahz was working on rebuilding the website from the ground up, and after chatting with him for a while in the IRC during some site downtime I decided that I wanted to help.

I ultimately didn't contribute too much, but nevertheless I was the first (and so far, only) non-anonymous user to help Mahz with developing the website. As a reward, after he implemented the trophy system I was awarded the special Benevolent Cyberpunk trophy, which gives me a special userbit that looks like this:



After roughly a year and a half of being here, life started getting in the way more and more, and my activity became increasingly infrequent. Eventually, a little after the two year mark, I became completely inactive; I was in my senior year of high school, neck deep in college plans, and didn't have time for it anymore. I'd log in every now and then to check if I had missed anything, but until quite recently never stayed. I am back now, though, and hopefully I'm here to stay. I plan on getting back into roleplaying in the near future, and I also plan on starting to help out with the website once more. I've learned so much since when I first saw the code running the Guild, and hopefully I'll be significantly more helpful than I was back then!

In Mahz's Dev Journal 5 yrs ago Forum: News
can we get an option to PERMANENTLY hide a post i.e. a shitposter posted in my thread saying 'first' and now i have an ugly ass 'hidden post' thing there that i'd like to just get rid of, it's just not relevant to me to 'hide' and only the mods should be able to see it. i'd rather have 19 posts per page and no ugly box, than 20 posts of which one is an ugly 'post hidden' box.


Maybe posts that are hidden within 30-60 minutes are deleted, after that they can only be hidden? I don't think that should cause any issues.

By the way @Mahz, while we're on the subject of smaller improvements, accepting my PR would be cool
You're all so cute asdfhkls <3


Aww, how nice!

Cash me ousside, howbow dah?


Aaaand you've lost me.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Normally I'd be all for anything HP, but I'll be starting an internship soon, and then senior year shortly after, so I don't think I can really find the time for it - ultimately there are things I'd rather do than RP, and I'm already co-GMing Château, if that is actually alive at this point.

So, sorry, but I'm not in.

Works for me, as you can see in our PM where I tested it.
