Serious samurai's paragraph

I have contributed to the community through modding work on M2TW. I am on a couple of mod teams, both Wrath of the Norsemen and Renaissance: Total War. I have contributed some work to Medieval Classic: Total War and have made a few minor mods for M2TW, such as a mod that gave Boyar sons javelins and one than made an armoured Halberdier unit. I feel I have given to the community and have more to give.

My last caution, which I got in April, will expire in two days time. I received this caution when I was a member of AMS and partook in what has been labeled as a "Spam Crusade" as I'm sure you will all remember, I regret this and apologise for this, you can see the apology in words in the Apology thread in the Q&S forums. This was back when I was a "n00b", and had disillusioned an misguided views and had contributed little to the forums or the community. Since those events I have since changed and ask that you see, and recognise that. I have now dedicated far more time to modding and contributing to this site, with the intention of making a better tomorrow, It saddens me that some fail to realise this and I wish that they see how I have changed, and become a contributer to this site, not a problem.

Some examples of my work:

Sir Dinadan's paragraph

Good day to you my fellow citizens. I come to you today to judge Serious samurai for citizenship. Despite having a rough start with bad influences from imthefrg10 and his "spam crusade," Serious samurai has turned around and has been contributing positively to the TWC community lately. I have seen myself in him. I remember when I was a newb during the October revolution and was against the curia, I also remember seeing the "light." I believe Serious samurai will becoming even more of a contributing member since he is already active in the Q&S. His modding has also grown. Serious samurai is one of the new modders who has flocked to TWC. He has shown to be a valuable asset in the modding community and his quality of work shall only increase during his career at TWC. He has contributed to Renaissance TW, Medieval classic, Wrath of the norsemen, and he has made a custom mod for a person.He has also made some polearm and halberd mods. His work is now being used in others like in the mod "real combat." I humbly ask you to forget about Serious samurai's bad start, for we have all made mistakes, and we have all fought for what we believed in during times like those, and to judge him as the new person he has become. Thank you and have a good day friends. - Dinadan

[imb39]

Someone who has improved enormously over the past few months. I think it is really admirable that he has changed things around so much in so many ways. Is he perfect? No, but certainly better than most. Well worth an Artifex rank.

[Erich von Manstein]

I actually offered him citizenship a few days ago but Walrus beat me to it. I should point out the significance of this: I was the one who confronted him during the "AMS" drama. Not only does he merit citizenship based on his many contributions to the modding community (browse the WotN mod forum and you'll see what I mean), but he has made impressive strides in improving his behavior, even offering to help out the Moderating Branch back when we were being swamped with alt accounts.

I was strongly against his last nomination, but I have seen enough improvement from him for me to vote yes this time around.

[Perikles]

Ugly Duckling to Golden (well not quite) swan.

[Obi Wan Asterix]

A modder whose behaviour has improved. A yes.

[Lord Rahl]

I have also seen a marked improvement in serious samurai. I give him a yes.

[Fabolous]

Only for his modding...

[Hader]

I had actually thought of patronizing him way back when, but soon after the business with imthefrg10 occured....and the AMS....so yeah.

But he is worthy, so yes

[Belisarius]

Not yet imo... He'll only relax and get himself Ostrakoned.

[Publius]

While largely opposed to his last nomination, he's made some great strides in the past months - coupled with his modding and general amiable nature as of late, I'd probably say he's ready.

[scottishranger]

A great improvement on the last few months.

Aye from me
