Hi. I'm Shiningflair. You can call me Shining for short or Sandy.
I found this wiki in October or November 2020 but didn't start editing until about a year later. I'm a fan of history, geopolitics, drawing, reading, editing, learning LGBTQ+ terminology, and hanging out with my friends, both online and in real life. You can contact me on the Discord server or on my talk page at any time- I'm quite active on both sites and will definitely respond soon. I'm also a student so I'm busy with schoolwork a lot during the school year, so you know what I'm doing if I'm slow to respond.
PBW Administrator (running for Bureaucrat) and Admin on the PBW Discord. 
History[edit | edit source]
Early Days[edit | edit source]
I first found the Polandball Wiki in November 2020, after discovering the concept of Polandball in September. I started using the wiki as a reference when I drew countryballs and went on here frequently to look at the artwork and read summaries. I joined the Polandball Wiki Discord Server around the same time but left right after joining for a reason I can't remember.
Rejoining the Server[edit | edit source]
In mid-July 2021, I rejoined the PBWDS. This time I stayed around and started becoming active in August. One week into August, I was promoted to Advisor by 
Melody during a promotion wave as she was stepping down. Over the course of August, I became more active and the PBWDS quickly became my mainstay server. In September, I was invited to the Sis Code, a group chat that was made by Melody with several other people, and I became closer to there and the PBWDS.
August 2021 to Present-day[edit | edit source]
In mid-October, an incident happened when I took a break for five days from Discord. With the extra time, I started to contribute to the wiki, and slowly started a habit of logging in frequently, which has continued to today. In January I was promoted to Head Councilor on the PBWDS and Administrator on the PBW, and in February to Moderator, then to Head Moderator, where I continue to be to this day.
August 2022 shenanigans[edit | edit source]
Oh boy, this was a really interesting week for me. Where should I start?
Well, to begin, on August 9, Melody unexpectedly left the server due to a multitude of issues they were going through. The next morning on August 10, I learned of their argument and subsequent falling out with 
Tgc and why it happened. (Go check the Polandball Wiki:Timeline#Second_August_crisis_-_The_server_schism for more details). Later that night, I learned of the whole plan to move servers, did nothing but worry and think about it for the next six days, and concocted a whole plan to prevent the server move along with the help of a dozen other members.
Buuuuut it turns out that on Saturday, August 13, Tgc had transferred ownership of the server to me, deleted his Discord account, and disappeared for the next three days and it wasn't until I contacted him on Twitter that I found out what had happened. So, I was the owner of the PBWDS for three whole days before I noticed. In my defense, he did not tell me or any of the other staff what he'd done. I have NO idea why. I found out I was the owner after I was verifying someone into the server and I noticed I could assign them the roles above head moderator when previously, I hadn't been able to touch those. (Assigning roles on mobile was how I was able to notice, so thanks for once, Discord mobile.)
I found this very weird, so after hunting through the audit log, I found out that Tgc had transferred ownership to me three days previously. Tgc also told me on Twitter he'd transferred ownership to me but I saw that after going on the audit log. I told everyone and gave Melody ownership about two hours later when she came online, and that was over. Oh, and I also promoted myself to admin, after another admin suggested I do so.
So that's how that all happened, and how I was the owner for three whole days without noticing. It was a rollercoaster of a week and I'll likely never forget it.

How to Draw Me[edit | edit source]
1. First draw a circle (no circle tool please!)
2. Draw the inside of it green, using the shade in the flag color table.
3. Draw three diamonds down the middle and two across, touching the second diamond in the middle. They do not have to be the exact same size but try to make it as close as you can. The diamonds have to touch the top, bottom, and sides of the ball.
4. Draw a blank baseball cap with the same pink as the main color, the same green as the button and dotted lines, dark gray as inside, and light gray for the sandwich part (see the flag color table for reference)
Icons[edit | edit source]
Livony My dear friend Livony, you're my bestest friend on the PBW and one of the best people I've met on Discord! You are just incredibly amazing and I feel blessed to have met you.

I'm so happy I joined so I could meet you, and find someone who can I just chill with together without judgment. <33

I'm glad to be here and hope to make many more memories and have lots of fun in the future. :D
