About
Although I'm a wiki newbie, I'm veteran Guild Wars player having played for the first time during the WPE in 2004 and I continued with every BWE available afterwards. A hearty thanks to ArenaNet for making such a terrific game. I live in Indianapolis, and when I'm not playing GW I'm playing the role of a Computer Analyst and loving husband. I'm into good food, drinks, books, movies, and games (of course!). I try not to take anything too seriously, no matter if it's work or play.

While I mostly PvE, you'll find me occasionally wandering the Random Arena or Team Arena, and once in a blue moon I'll try to fight my way to the Hall of Heroes. I'm on Eastern time (GMT-5), and am usually available in-game random nights of the week.

I'm here because I found myself answering questions on forums and in-game repeatedly, tracking quest data in a spreadsheet, updating quest data on forums, and finally realized I was duplicating the efforts and getting frustrated. I've now turned that energy to putting that content here, and generally trying to use my knowledge to fight the forces of dumb.

Ajax Leinenkugel

 * Titles:

 * My Grimlock was originally a Necromancer and my first character after release, named after the merciless and primal Grimlock character from the original Transformers series. He'd made it to level 20, completed every mission and bonus, and then duty called. My guild needed more monks, so a sacrifice was made. This version of Grimlock was named in honor of the first, and received a hairstyle that included a "grim lock" on the back, to give the name a fresh meaning.

Self Reminders
I commonly find my memory works in strange ways... apparantly my internal filing system is flawed, and it often-times seems the personal assistant in my head takes a full day trying to find the info I need -- that is if I remember what I was looking for to begin with. In lieu of that, these are just some notes to myself. :-)
