I am AttemptToCallNil (can be abbreviated to "ATCN" or "Attempt", writing it as "Nil" is discouraged). I am an administrator on this wiki, as well as an administrator and a bureaucrat on the Russian wiki.
I can do a lot of things, but I prefer minor edits, technical maintenance, and maybe participation in discussions. I have also written templates, modules, styles, and some JavaScript.
I had a bot, but it's inactive. I tried to code my own tools, but it's a substantial and long-term project that will most likely never be done, and with UCP, is likely to end up completely meaningless.
I have been editing wikis since late 2012, when I made lots of anonymous edits on the Russian wiki. I registered there in October, and became an administrator there in March next year. I was previously known as "GreenStone", then as "User GreenStone" because I had to urgently make up a new name. Unfortunately, in late 2013 and early 2014 most or all other Russian wiki admins became completely inactive and silent.

Gaming
I never play multiplayer games. As for single-player games, I tend to play all sorts of RPGs, but not exclusively.
