Salve! My name is Joshua, and I'm a student at UMD, Maryland, USA. I'm currently 18 and I love Sports, Gaming, and writing Alternate history. As a side note, I use British/Traditional spelling. If you're looking for a banner for your timeline or map game, I'm usually available in chat. I originally joined May 2014, but I didn't actually contribute to the wiki to the wiki until August. If you're wondering, the music is Divinitus, composed by Jeff van Dyck for Total War: Rome.

A Little Poem
When your mother has grown old and with her so have you, When that which once came easy has at last become a burden, When her loving, true eyes no longer see life as once they did When her weary feet no longer want to wear her as she stands, then reach an arm to her shoulder, escort her gently, with happiness and passion The hour will come, when you, crying, must take her on her final walk. And if she asks you, then give her an answer And if she asks you again, listen! And if she asks you again, take in her words not impetuously, but gently and in peace! And if she cannot quite understand you, explain all to her gladly For the hour will come, the bitter hour when her mouth will ask for nothing more. ~ Adolf Hitler

Mentors

 * Mscoree - Even though he has his flaws, several of my timelines would be nothing without him. One of the only people on the wiki who was willing to pay attention and help on my timelines.
 * Monster Pumpkin - The ideal TSPTF member, almost, if not always, showing neutrality during heated situations. I, anyone who is going to become a TSPTF member, current TSPTF members, should aim to be similar to MP.
 * Bfoxius - Quite like MP, one of the nicest people on this wiki and is always seeking to expand it.
