    Default [PASSED 04/10/09] [Artifex] absinthia (Patron: Nakharar)

    Client: absinthia
    Dear Cdec

    i am quite dedicated to moding the total war series as a hobby and by that i should be as good citizen material as any.

    so here is my moding history and some views on the community thingy:

    the mod
    i have been with the total war series since shogun tw. but my first moding experience was with m2tw kingdoms expansion: teutonic campaign.

    during the last summers hollydays i made a quick and dirty add-on of sweden for the teutonic campaign. i figured i might at least upload the thing for others to use, so i registered here at twcenter.
    while at it i took a look in the moding threads of this forum i eventually came across Vacuus Lux Lucis.
    i joined up with the team, thinking i could at least set up a map and a loading mod-folder. that was about august and now here i am, stuck as joint mod-leader and have also gone into 3d-modeling.
    i am also active in the CBUR team, though i only assemble the meshes, uv-map and make some minor model adjustments.
    i joined up with africa tw, to make use of my library of images, by making some weapons and other attachment for their unit models.

    the forum
    my interest in this forum is connected to moding of the tw series and as such i hang out in the moding oriented threads. i have made a few posts in the mud pit, but it does not appeal much to me. i have been on the internet since 1995 and have had my share of flame wars already.

    the community
    in the mod section i occasionally feel compelled to help out some would be moders and wip`s. i may come across as a bit harsh towards posts of the like "i have the greatest idea and need someone to make it come real". but i can also be quite helpfull and patient towards those willing to learn.

    i can totaly get along with the community idea.
    i am not in favor of punishment with the purpose of adjustment of social behaviour. i believe in giving people a lot of slack, but there is a finite line to rude and counter-productive behavior. for those who cross that line i may be percieved as a raging stalinist.

    in short
    me absintha, nice guy, creator of stuff, want to do the best for the modding community and i think i deserve citizenship

    Thank you Cdec

    What does it mean to be a artifex, why is it useful, what does it mean.

    It congragulates people gives them morale shows everyone they are the real deal and Absinthia is a well known modder and fills this criteria as well as being the real deal. A real mapper a proffesional modder, a coder, a man willing to learn he learnt skinning and modelling just to help Vacus Lux Lucis showing how commited he is

    Does citizenship honour members, or members honour citizenship?

    That is a matter of opinion however Absinthia would honour citizenship.

    He is the backbone of Vacus Lux Lucis and also helps many another mod like CBUR and Africa Total War, which is doing a very good favour as well as helping many young modders who are confused as you can see in the od workshop and Wips Idas and proposals

    That is why i think Absinthia is a worthy candidate.

    Thank you Cdec for reading

    Regards

    Nakharar

    I've been connected for a long while with VLL, and Absinthia certainly is the backbone. Him and Icedie are what keep it alive. I think I still have developer access, I'll do a bit more research. Leaning towards a yes.

    lol the whole "Does Citizenship honor X? Or X honor Citizenship?" thing is getting a bit corny, what with this being the second or third time it has been asserted. But this isn't about patron paragraphs, it's about client qualifications. And absinthia is certainly more than qualified for Artifex.

    Very mediocre poster, but his modding contributions outweigh that. Yes.
