=PARAGON PROPOSAL= ANet has not offered a solution to the "Imbagon", so let's work one out ourselves: Paragon Proposal.

=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.

The current Featured Quotes, are: from Jack Handley and Leo Rosten!

ONE THING KIDS LIKE is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to a burned-out warehouse. "Oh, oh," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke.

I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

-- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

The first riddle I ever heard, one familiar to almost every Jewish child, was propounded to me by my father:

"What is it that hangs on the wall, is green, wet -- and whistles?"

I knit my brow and thought and thought, and in final perplexity gave up.

"A herring," said my father.

"A herring," I echoed. "A herring doesn't hang on the wall!"

"So hang it there."

"But a herring isn't green!" I protested.

"Paint it."

"But a herring isn't wet."

"If it's just painted it's still wet."

"But -- " I sputtered, summoning all my outrage, "a herring doesn't whistle!!"

"Right, " smiled my father. "I just put that in to make it hard."

-- Leo Rosten, "The Joys of Yiddish"

THE WORLD'S ECONOMIC SYSTEMS EXPLAINED


 * socialism: You have two cows. Give one to your neighbour.

=Characters=
 * This page has all my characters on it. It tracks their progress in the game and other information such as unlocked Heroes, pets, and other things.

=Projects= I like to create projects but I never finish most of them.


 * Guild Wars Real Time Strategy game. A conceptual work in progress!
 * Norn Fighting Tourney - Collect info on all the builds run by opponents
