User:X~Calibur95/Why

The AoEW used to have a dead community and much different compared to when I first joined many years ago. I have witnessed many active users like you (and even me) come and go around these parts, which is pretty common if you ever decide to contribute to an openly sourced encyclopedia where anyone can share anything productive that fascinates their curiosity. Interests come and go, and engaging in this activity is no exception. Although I may take some time off sporadically without notice, I will still be hanging out here until I retire, probably due to boredom or completion of content which might happen by June 2021 which will be my 10th anniversary since joining here! Even then, an abrupt retirement will probably not happen since the future is inherently chaotic and unpredictable. My long-term passion for complex games involving creative empire building and strategic thinking as well as the consistent flow of new users like you somehow played a very important role in helping myself become a better person!

I have played pretty much every Awesome Game created by Ensemble Studios for over a decade now and still play it to this day. The only other game that could possibly rival my favoritism for the AoE series is Spore which offers a very similar degree of freedom when playing empire building simulation games like AoE that offers a highly nonlinear and seemingly stochastic gameplay, possibly more convoluted than poker which is quite phenomenal in my opinion. My favorite thing to do other than editing this wiki is playing one of the world's first strategy game: the game of Chess and of course Chinese Chess, hence my profile picture which serves as a reminder on how I got so involved with playing RTS games in the first place. This interest also lead me to the Dawn of War Wiki where I'm also a Chief Executive. My activity across Wikia can be quite varied since I'm currently preparing myself for a future career in geotechnical engineering.
