Confession #227:

This year probably marks the first anniversary of what I call "The Great Schism". This schism led to a separation of the Wiki community as a whole, and the removal of two bent admins, Chaos379 and Hope16.

I myself sat on the sidelines for all of it. And then I wondered, with this wiki in new leadership, and seeing as the Arab Spring in real life ultimately fail (it's true), I wondered if I should accept them with open arms. But I didn't. I decided I would test them first.

To do that, I made an OC based on one of the admins, after conducting background research. The plan was this: I would provoke the current admins to test their reaction. If they overreacted and behaved like a fascist, I would have gathered enough evidence to mount a second insurrection to again replace these guys. If not, I would trust them.

The result? They were calm, collected and genuinely concerned for this Wiki. And I am proud of that.

Why, though? Why go to such extreme lengths? Simple. I don't have any right to do that. But I felt that I couldn't take any chances, and that if I failed to act, the Wiki would have a chance of getting into deeper trouble than ever before.

I have no intention of seizing power like a tyrant, but I act in the Wiki's best interests with better intentions. And if I did this stunt later on, it would have been more irrelevant now that many people forgot The Great Schism, and I would have in that context, been a troublemaker.

So, one year later, I have moved on. The wiki still runs smoothly, I am still developing my OCs, and life continues. I'll probably use this extreme method in emergencies that I may be able to participate in solving.

Keep up the good work, Admins.

BTW, I'll only apologize to the "Accursed Ones" later on if they decide to show up and repent...
