I live in a somewhat rainy, miserable part of England, read, write and game excessively, and spend far too much time on this site. That's pretty much it.

I can be found on my occasionally-updated Livejournal and the troper IRC channel (#tropers, irc.slashnet.org) as "Panzerwurst", with the position of half-operator as part of a controlled test of With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. I also regularly cruise the Traditional Games (/tg/) board of 4chan.

A definite Mr Trope Lumper, with occasional Hedge Trimmer and Serial Tweaker tendencies. Will kill on sight "I can't believe no one's mentioned X", double dashes, quotes lacking indentation and "** Actually... ". Motto: It's a wiki. If in doubt, edit. If you get it wrong, you'll know about it soon enough.

Love and fancy myself something of an expert on:

• Warhammer 40,000. The games, spinoff games, computer games, rules, fluff, novels, all of it. Basically wrote the page as it is now, and added well over 200 tropes (including 65 in one edit); also co-wrote the Ciaphas Cain and Gaunt's Ghosts pages with the esteemed Specialist 290, and Battlefleet Gothic all on my lonesome.
• Animorphs.
• Futurama.
• DS9.
• The works of Iain M Banks.
• Mortal Engines
• Total Annihilation

Also just plain love:

• Battlestar Galactica.
• Discworld.
• Firefly.
• Avatar: The Last Airbender (thanks mainly to this wiki persuading me it is a Good Thing.)
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
• The Man Who Would be King
• Jericho
• Way too many webcomics to mention.

Largely responsible for and likely to be highly protective/Entry Pimpish regarding:

• Warhammer 40,000
  • Gaunt's Ghosts
  • Ciaphas Cain
  • Battlefleet Gothic
• Mortal Engines
• Total Annihilation
• Derelict Graveyard
• More Dakka (my very favourite page)
• Space Does Not Work That Way
• Space Is Cold
• Changing the Home Page to pirate-speak in honour of September 19th, archived here.

Did a full rewrite to make less crap, but do not particularly want to take credit for:

• Mechanical Horse
• Night of the Living Mooks
• Poisoned Weapons

Added images to:

• Amazon Brigade (Battle Sisters◊)
• Base on Wheels (City of London◊)
• Fusion (Picard the Last Airbender◊)
• Kill It with Fire (Witch Hunters◊)
• Mechanical Horse (...er...◊)
• More Dakka (NEVER ENUFF◊)
• Monster Clown (Gunnerkrigg.◊)
• Power Fist (3rd ed Codex Space Marines◊)
• Space Marine (There was a wall...◊)
• Super Soldier (4th ed rulebook marine.◊)

Delicious ego-feeding Win-points for:

1. Gaunt's Ghosts
2. Image on Fusion
3. Space Does Not Work That Way (title)
4. More Dakka (all of it)
5. The potholed line "Enuff Baka" in More Dakka
6. Translation of Home Page into Pirate
