Anything Else You Want to Add:

Words words words.

I'm a software developer professionally, and I'm comfortable diving in to the code (if someone queries about a game mechanic for instance).

I have a certain curiousity regarding management work, and I'm hoping to hone some soft skills by being a moderator.

Those who know me describe me as cold and detached, which is possibly a good thing for someone who should be sort-of judge.

I made some minor contributions to the code, and I am currently a wiki maintainer. (Shows some seriousness & dedication to the community)

When I was 12 years old I used to run my own server in a game called Rune: Halls of Valhalla. It was fun. (that's where I developed a love for coding)

I used to moderate in a high roleplaying server in San Andreas : Multiplayer. Talk with me about it, it's a funny story.

I used to be in a military, so I'm comfortable with structure and chain of command.

You'll be contacted for an interview within the next couple of days.
