Things users should consider, by Felix

 * 1) I have years of experience using sysop tools and several months' experience doing absolutely nothing with bureaucrat tools on GuildWiki, which I think is an excellent qualification for doing absolutely nothing with them here.
 * 2) I did have my sysop tools removed on GuildWiki once for abusing them. In brief, I got into a fight with Auron, he blocked me, and I unblocked myself. I regret acting as I did throughout that debacle, but I do not regret losing sysop status. I was a Bad Sysop (TM) before then, and I needed to realize it. And I did. Some months later I regained sysop tools, and I do believe that I've been a veritable paragon of administrative perfection since then. Further details can be found on GuildWiki, if you're so inclined to waste time looking for them.
 * 3) As a bureaucrat here, I would not use the inherent sysop tools, except perhaps to revision-delete e-mail addresses or block obvious vandals- uncontroversial cases where time may be of the essence. I would continue to contribute to main, gww, feedback, and user spaces, as well as their respective talk pages, pretty much as I do now.
 * 4) I mentioned in my acceptance speech that I do frequent the gww IRC channel. I do not consider myself to be part of the IRCabal; as far as I know, the IRCabal does not consider me to part of the IRCabal. However, if it is later revealed that I am in fact part of the IRCabal, it will probably involve brainwashing.
 * 5) I have a mild tendency to confuse GWW policies with their GuildWiki counterparts. However, I do prefer spirit of the law over letter of the law, and the spirit is immutable and immortal, so it's seldom a problem except in cases of wiki-lawyering.
 * 6) The most significant contribution I've made to GWW is probably the Guild Wars Wiki:Appealing a block guideline (proposal).
 * 7) I have a sense of humor. If that bothers you, then you should immediately get one of your own.
 * 8) As far as I know, very few users consider me to be a troll. Those that do are probably just jealous.
 * 9) I AM a nonconformist. I DO march to the beat of a different drum.
