This user has /resigned.

I will no longer be contributing here* as a bureaucrat, an administrator, or a sysop. Although I may continue to use the Wiki to keep up with friends and fellow GuildWikians, consider me no more than a normal user from here on out. That goes for the Wikia people too - please refer all correspondance and issues of note to the other bureaucrats.

I am sorry that things had to end like this, but I can no longer morally justify myself working for the betterment of this Wiki while it is hosted by Wikia. I think I have fulfilled my personal obligations to repay GuildWiki, many times over.

It has been a wild ride, and I have had my ups and downs. I'm surely going to miss it, but I feel this is the only thing I can do. The Wiki is in safe enough hands...I don't feel that I am needed here anymore. Do not take this as a statement of self-pity, though: what I mean to say is that in my opinion, the Wiki can manage itself now, without my help.

Above all, I want to thank everyone in the community for having made this such a special place, even as great disasters continue to loom right on the horizon. I have always appreciated your constant support, and - when it gets right down to it - tough as nails persistance. If nothing else, we are a hardy folk, and considering all we've been through I am surprised yet proud that many of us are still here...actively contributing against all odds. No matter what was in the past, or what lies in the future, GuildWiki has left its legacy on the world for those who will remember it. And I think that is a great honor indeed.

Farewell - and may Dwayna smile upon you.

* Addendum - However, if there just happens to be something which needs a bureaucrat/admin/sysop to do it, and no one else seems to be around, this doesn't mean I will sit idly by and do nothing. But since I will not be here on a regular basis, this is a rare exception.

You have been editing the Wiki 24/7. Please take a break.

Guild Wars Irony

 * When you get disconnected fighting the Disc of Chaos at 60% DP, every Golem is in its aggro, and the Stone Dwarves are dead; and then re-try the mission and win with +10% Morale Boost, no deaths. Using Wastrel's Worry and not even needing the NPC support.
 * Getting a green drop such as Drago's Flatbow in a full party of 8 Hench, and never getting a green during "solo farming". (This is before the days of drop rate-party size correlation)
 * Beating Abaddon back when the Reversal of Damage, Vengeful Weapon, etc. exploit still worked, and then finding out later that you picked the wrong green item reward.
 * Making it a top priority to finish Hell's Precipice (mission) with all characters, and then ANet introduces the Deldrimor Talisman. And all those greens are equal or worse than other end-games. What a disgrace to Prophecies fans.
 * Getting invited to random groups while idling, and not being able to find a PUG when trying to do a mission/quest.
 * The Great Destroyer.

 * Go K.K. Rider!

=possible job opportunity=

Recent activities have convinced me that I am no longer active enough here to properly fulfil the duties of Bureaucrat. I am seriously considering promoting someone else to Bureaucrat. This doesn't mean that I'll be resigning the post; rather, I feel that there ought to be a Bureaucrat available and active always, especially lately. This new person doesn't have to come from the current sysop pool, either. I welcome all applications.

Please go to User:Entropy/bureaucrat to express your opinions. Thanks.

=Welcome=

"Entropy is defined as random molecular motion, or as we know it, heat." (see Exhibits A and B)

If you are scientifically inclined, here is a better definition from Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

Main Entry: en·tro·py Pronunciation: 'en-tr&-pE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -pies Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary 2en- + Greek tropE change, literally, turn, from trepein to turn

1 : a measure of the unavailable energy in a closed thermodynamic system that is also usually considered to be a measure of the system's disorder, that is a property of the system's state, and that varies directly with any reversible change in heat in the system and inversely with the temperature of the system; broadly : the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system

2a : the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity

2b : a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder

3 : CHAOS, DISORGANIZATION, RANDOMNESS

Welcome to the User page of Entropy. I started playing Guild Wars in 2006, over the summer vacation from high school. Apparently I have a knack for the game, though, and I have made some rapid progress in the PvE world. Now that I have all the campaigns, I have more characters and campaigns than I know what to do with, and there's always "something to do".

Thanks in part to this Wiki, I have a large general knowledge of almost all aspects of Guild Wars, though mostly about Prophecies still. It saddens me that more people don't come here to answer their questions instead of spamming them to the general in-game population. Nearly every question I have ever had was answered after looking it up here.

What I do on GuildWiki

My user ID# is 17165 (out of  total users). So I have been here for awhile. Originally, I used to spend most of my time doing mainspace edits, small corrections or additions to articles of interest to me. After that I spent most of my time on Talkpages or Builds, debating or socializing. Then I got into the Userspace craze and spent all my time on Userboxes and Templates.

Nowadays, though, I mostly just use my administrative powers to /ban, /delete, and otherwise take care of the things that normal users can't. I do maintenance work. There are not that many active users left, but the handful that are keep the Wiki going from day to day. We are fighting a losing battle, as we all know, but for whatever it's worth - posterity, history, pride - we'll continue that battle until the ship's completely underwater. As the Wiki's active Bureaucrat, you could call me the "leader". But always remember that the real work of the wiki is done by the common users, the anonymous users, those without fancy titles like "bureaucrat" and "sysop". Without them, this place would have been dust long ago.

If we can clean up the Wiki to the best it's ever been before it is shut down, then that will be accomplishment enough.
