User:Xbony2

Hello. I am Xbony2. I started playing Minecraft in 1.2.5, so you could say I've been around for a while. In 1.4.2, I got into playing the Feed The Beast Beta Pack A, and later moved to the (Original) MindCrack Pack and then to FTB Ultimate plus a few mods (I moved my world over each time). I'm an avid modded fan and haven't looked back :P I started coding and modding for the first time in 1.4.7, although it didn't work out so well (I basically copied a video tutorial word-for-word and it still didn't work). In 1.5.2 through 1.6.4, I developed my programming skills a fair amount. In 1.7.2 I created a working and somewhat releasable mod called "Bitm" (Bony's Industrial Technology Mod) although it was never released. I did get into a few other projects; I helped port IC2 Nuclear Control to 1.7.2 and I am currently the unofficial maintainer of it (I've helped port a couple of other mods too, but none are as well-known as that one). When the author of my favorite mod, GregTech, announced he would use this wiki, the Feed The Beast Wiki, as GregTech's official wiki starting with GregTech 5, I decided to make it my official wiki as well for Nuclear Control. The FTB Wiki's IndustrialCraft 2 section was fairly incomplete (and still is >.>), so I decided to work on it and go expand it. I got into documenting a few mods, and in 2015 I ended up focusing more on documentation than modding. I became staff and I am currently the most active editor (and also the craziest). I've developed a greater interest in wikis and documentation, and although I still focus on my home wiki (this wiki), I contribute a fair amount to other Gamepedia wikis and to other wikis in general (mostly just fixing stuff). As of this time of writing, I have about 40,000 contributions across all of my wiki accounts (mostly small contributions, but then again, most contributions are small by nature). I can't really play modded Minecraft (and sometimes other games) without documenting stuff, which sometimes leads to the creation of very arbitrary pages.

Number of Wiki Articles:

Goal for 2016: 13,333 Articles. (yeah, we totally killed it)

Things I have done on this wiki:
 * Documented IC2 Nuclear Control, IndustrialCraft 2, AFSU Mod, The Mists of RioV 2/The Mists of RioV, Falling Meteors Mod, GregTech 4, Immersive Engineering, Immersive Integration, Engineer's Toolbox, Thaumcraft 4, Thaumcraft 5, Steel Sheep (Mod), Pam's HarvestCraft, Simply Jetpacks, Ztones, Aether II, Ender IO, Charset, Inventory Pets, Quark, EnderZoo, The One Probe, Roots... (some completely or near completely, some in smaller fragments)
 * Did a bunch of maintenance work (I'd say 50% of my edits are maintenance-ish, and 50% is new documentation). Including translation stuff (I'm the translation administrator and the person to talk to about translation of content here).
 * Called SatanicSanta a "meany-face".
 * Created the IP award (Santa is the first staff to receive it, btw) (Choco made it into a template, but I created it first. The picture is still named "Bony_Joke_Please_Ignore.png").
 * CHOCOLATE B*TCH
 * Used terrible or no summaries. Includes above summary. 0% of them include good grammar. Many include lyrics, but I have issues picking out lyrics so they're often short or nonsensical.
 * Welcomed a couple editors to the wiki (none of them seem to stay, of course).
 * Found myself (well not really).
 * Made many inappropriate jokes (if you let me, I am fairly sexual ;)).
 * Mega achievement? Mega achievement (easy peasy).
 * I got Editor of the month! (rewarded fairly late, but still)
 * Got more more wikipoints/edits than EVERYONE ELSE! (I hope they don't catch up)

Current focuses

 * Document Roots.
 * Document Actually Additions.
 * Document Extra Utilities 2.
 * Misc maintenance and improvements.
 * Eat newcomers.

Contact

 * The very much preferred place to contact me is on my talk page! If you have something to say to me, I would highly prefer you put something there (that's why this is at the top). You can even use it for non-wiki stuff if you want, we don't care that much.
 * And not a bad place to contact me is . I'm there pretty much there 24/7 (well, my account is). I'm on a few other IRC channels too, but I read over pretty much read every message in there (and of course, pinging in any channel works.
 * You can also add me on CurseVoice. More for non-verbal communication unless I know you well (the idea of talking to translators with bad English and bad microphones scares me :P) . I have a specific server for contacting me here if you aren't a friend with me in any of the servers I'm in (I'm in the Feed The Beast server as well as a few other servers, so you probably are).
 * You can poke me on Discord (Lucy's Bubbles, Esteemed Innovation, Minecraft Mod Development, Modded Minecraft) or Slack (Feed the beast, Gamepedia) too (if you're part of any of those groups), although I prefer Curse.

Languages

 * English- I'm a native speaker of American English.
 * Spanish- I'm learning Spanish in school. Taking Spanish II and III this year (maybe not III), and I'll likely take part in more advanced courses next year. I know a basic understanding of the language, although summer has made me rusty.
 * Lojban- coi .i I have some experience in Lojban from reading the reference manual and contributing to Wiktionary, as well as doing some translation (Minecraft, here, Lojban Wikipedia). I have a basic understanding of the grammar, but my lexicon is pretty empty- ko zausku la jbovlaste
 * Esperanto- I studied some Esperanto on Duolingo. I strongly dislike the language though, and have stopped. I'm disappointed that it's the face of constructed languages, it kind of sucks. I guess Lojban spoiled me. Maybe some day I'll return to it, or learn Ido, or probably try to master Lojban instead.
 * Ukrainian- I don't really know any Ukrainian, but I vow to learn some someday.

Alternate names

 * Preferred nicknamed- Bony
 * Actual, English name- Eric
 * Spanish name- Blas Raúl
 * Lojban name- bonis (full sumti would be la bonis.)
 * Esperanto name- Bono (literally means "goodness")
 * (Transliterated) Bulgarian- Бони (Bony) or Ерик (Eric)
 * (Transliterated) Greek- Μπόνη (Bony) or Έρικ (Eric)
 * (Semi-Transliterated) Inuktitut- ᕙᓂ (Bony, actually "vani")
