I am just an ordinary person playing Graal, nothing super special.

I started Graal because I wanted to use the Graal Editor again. I have been using it since before 2003 or 2004 (I really couldn't pin-point a date xD). Upon going to the GraalOnline website, I found that you had to download it via the Game Client. I created an account and downloaded it, however before I even opened it I decided to check out a server. I got that far, why not go further, right? :p

I started out on Era, a trial burying my items to retain them before each log-out. Though a trial, I was able to get myself a Manager rank at a Player-Owned business the owner and I eventually named "Asianic Weaponry Foundation" which was located near the flower shop. The owner was a great person who protected my items rather than having me bury them all the time in exchange for my services. Since he never betrayed my trust, I put a lot of confidence in him.

I managed to pay for my account after a long while. During my time in the Player-Owned business, I met Jen (Eclectic, who later became a PR) and YenroY (YenroY777, who later became an LAT). They got me into Terisu Family, not before I tried to do so, myself, and got scammed for the first time out of $2000 to Celarion. Getting in came in the form of Israfel adding a bunch of random people ranking them "Zerg Pawn". Yenroy had recently gained rights to change ranks and nearing the end of the Zerg Pawn phase, he changed my rank to a low-level real Terisu Family rank. Israfel didn't notice for a while and when he did, we started talking. Turned out we lived nearby each other and we seemed to get along, so he kept me in...not before telling me I had to change my nickname, as I was using a seriously newbie style nickname. I ended up just using my account as my nickname because it looked cool to me to have a * randomly appear to the start of my nickname when I said setnick TSAdmin. I thought it was a bug at first :p

During a period of time where FAQ's were seriously lacking under the new FAQ Admin at the time, I decided to take it upon myself to tell people I would answer their questions as a non-FAQ. This brought some flak with it from the FAQ's. My main motivation was when I asked questions, the most active FAQ of my timezone was Malicious, who was only on in my timezone because he lives in the same country, as I found out later. His answer to everything I asked was "Yellow". I used to hang out with kinetaro and Skyld in a Gay Bar kinetaro had put together, along with Dro (drogankid). Smu had FAQ Admin by the time I got hired to the FAQ Team, and when he was perspectively the next manager, he gave up his roll and randomly warped to me asking if I would like to take the position. I accepted.

After a while as FAQ Admin, in my spare time I would make levels for fun, which essentially lead to me creating the FAQ Lounge that is still used today (March, 2009). Alec and CaramelDarkhaven hired me to the LAT team. They encouraged me to submit an application, along with the push of Israfel for me to try out.

From there it was upwards. From LAT I got GP rights (Ban, disconnect, etc), more and more rights came in as my productivity increased and abilities became enhanced by way of ability to script GS2 with the help of Andrew (xAndrewx). Lucky for him, I was a quick learner and it wasn't long before the main help I asked of him was "Is this correct?", "Will/Why won't this work?", and "Can it be improved in any way?". This lead me to become a strong Developer with the skills to do just about anything thrown at me. When all the managers before him had their chance, the roll was then passed onto Daz. While there was no manager, though, and the PWA had stepped in, I was named Administrator of the server. Upon Daz's dismissal, I was handed the roll by HoudiniMan, who unfortunately did not discuss it with me specifically by asking if I would take on the roll.

As manager of the server, I gave it all I could. With any management comes criticism, negative and positive, some more vocal than others, however it ended pretty well. I resigned my position and turned it over to my Administrator of the time, Icarus (xTcDiabloxTc). My reason for this was HoudiniMan had since posted an application for a position in the PWA to which I later found out I had been accepted.

I am still part of the PWA under the direction of Bell, HoudiniMan's replacement after he had left on personal reasons after just shy of 6 years. Annnnd that is my story, haha.
