Meet the Mod Team
Sneb (snebzor)
Hi I'm Sneb, aka snebzor.
Astra
Cahn
Hey there, I'm Cahnehg! You can call me Cahn (pronounced con - like conman. But I promise I dont steal). I randomly generated the name years back playing Rift, and it just stuck. In SG you'll mostly find me handling tickets or static requests. IRL I am an industrial controls engineer, and have played MMORPGs for over 12 years.
My GW2 journey started about 3 years ago, when an IRL friend raved about the game and I just had to dive in. I played for maybe a year before taking a year break, and came back raiding even harder. I found my home in an SG HoT progression group quickly, we've grown together over the past year to conquer all raid CMs and achievements, and progged W8 with them too!
Danny
Hey, I'm Danny! I tend to handle odds and ends in the discord as issues come up. I tend to hangout in the social voice channels, so if you have an issue feel free to hop in! I do tend to afk a lot (afk channel is aptly named) so don't be terribly surprised if I'm not there.
I have played Guild Wars 2 since day 1 and played the original from pretty early on as well. My early time in the game was solely dedicated to WvW (specifically GvGs). At some point, I met Sneb while he was doing Drakkar speedruns. Both of us wanted to get into raiding so we began grouping together. Eventually we decided we wanted to make our own static, and thus the first SG static was made. Since then, I've completed every boss encounter in the game all within the SG community.
IRL I'm married, have 2 cats and a dog, and work for a university. I'm an avid reader and obsessed with fantasy books, though I read a lot of everything. I also enjoy anything outdoors but specifically love camping / backpacking.
Dee
Hi, I’m Dee!
I started playing GW2 from Teapot’s Zero to Hero and joined SG to start working on the difficult and engaging content. I found that the best part of a static isn’t the bosses you beat, the fights, or anything in the game itself but the social time with new friends. You’ll find me yapping in this and many other discords, twitch chats, and chatting in every voice call I’m in. I like to say I know everyone in the GW2 raid community, but they might not know me… yet…
Outside of gaming I’m a dad of two wonderful girls, do a little woodworking, like to make art, play music and work in IT
Fia
Heyo, I'm Fia! I'm an ArenaNet Creative Partner in the art section of the program, I draw silly adventures or super cool stuff, nothing in-between!
Once upon a time I thought to myself, should I do raids? The answer was yes, and as it so happened SG was there to teach me everything from scratch. How I found this place is a chaotic blur, now that I think about it. Eventually I was brought in and taught to moderate alongside the other wonderful mods and while I'm only doing minor things and don't raid as much as I used to, I'm still happy to be a part of it.
ItsJon
Hey, I'm Jon! I tend to focus my work on the Discord and assisting with some of the in-game stuff. I've been playing GW2 since the 3 day head start and you can usually find me jumping around Mistlock Sanctuary these days. I first joined SG as the initial statics were being organized and joined the Mod Team shortly after. Since then I've lead a few teams and joined several others completing all the way up through Cerus CM in SG.
Outside of GW2 I play several other games. I've been a collegiate/amateur competitive League of Legends player and coach for a long time and was a Master-level StarCraft 2 player during Wings of Liberty. Other than that, I largely play co-op games with Baldur's Gate 3 being a recent favorite.
When I'm not gaming, I work in Cybersecurity and like playing guitar/saxophone, cooking, and practicing some landscape photography. Lately I've also been getting back into reading.
Jay
Heyo, I'm Jay, one of the newest mods on this team. I joined last year but due to life haven't really done much outside of team admin stuff. I mostly lurk for now so I can stay updated on server happenings with the hopes of getting more involved in the near future.
I've played this game since 2016 and while I don't play as much as I used to, I still like raiding and hanging out with my statics, new and old. For now, Genshin Impact and Battlefield and Rainbow 6 Siege take up most of my time.
Korean
Morning, I'm Korean!
I've played GW2 since around the EoD release, and started doing strikes as soon as I got half of a build together. Strikes transitioned into Raids, and I ended joining a static in Skein Gang together with some friends.
I do some Mod work here and there, but lately I've been mostly focused on the website work.
Other than GW2 I dive into a bunch of different games with a few friends, ranging from Singleplayer RPG to FPS to MMO.
Lutnut
Hi! I’m a passionate gamer with a love for titles like Guild Wars 2, Helldivers 2, and the Mass Effect and Borderlands franchises. When I’m not diving into virtual worlds, I enjoy reading a good book (currently re-reading the Frontlines series for like the 10th time) and exploring new recipes in the kitchen.
By day, I work as a tow truck driver for AAA, helping people out of tough situations. Whether it's gaming, cooking, or problem-solving on the job, I always enjoy taking on something new!
Melanie
Hiya! I'm Melanie or just Mel, SG's resident Scourge enjoyer and general silly Dutch (who plays on NA because reasons) person. I started my raid career just after the launch of PoF and have been going strong since. I joined SG with the intent of helping teach others how to raid and this general helpful attitude is what got me added onto the Mod Team eventually.
Although life is busy, I'm still teaching and leading raids here because it's what I enjoy most. Outside of GW2, I am a historian and an enjoyer of music, good food, wine, and roleplaying and board games, among other things. Aside from that, I'm also a living example of the truth that you can find love through Guild Wars (how sappy!).
Lastly, if you ever need help with anything raiding, the motto that I always share is to feel free to message me (especially if it's Scourge related :P).
MidnightChrono
Hello I'm Midnight! I began my SG staff journey processing paperwork for our statics with the goal of increasing turn around times. Nowadays I focus more on long term projects for the Discord server and community.
I've been raiding on and off since the early days. While I have a huge competitive side, you can usually catch me clowning around with friends in raids most nights. Rumors of my account actually being run by two chaos demon cats in a mesmer trench coat are highly exaggerated...but likely true.
Nick
Hey, I'm Nick. I typically handle some of the more interpersonal conflicts that occur within SG rather than the administrative/tech related ones.
I played GW2 back at launch but took a break after completing the Arah dungeon, unsure of what more the game had to offer at the time. I started raiding in March 2022, but had issues finding people of the same mindset of improvement rather than just clearing the content. I've been a part of SG since I started the Raid CM team Wedge in November 2022 which I have been running ever since. Outside of GW2 I work in Finance, have a 7 year old son, and have recently started playing FFXIV.
Rick
Hey there, adventurers! I’m Rick, your charming Discord moderator who’s here to keep the vibes high and the conversations steamy. When I’m not managing the chat, I’m lost in daydreams about the rugged, powerful Charr from Guild Wars 2—because let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to get a little up close and personal with those fierce warriors?
Since the launch of Guild Wars 2, I’ve been utterly captivated by the Charr. Their strength, confidence, and sultry demeanor make them impossible to resist. Whether I’m diving into battle or exploring the depths of their lore, my imagination runs wild. Who can blame me for wanting to join a Charr in their den?
As a moderator, I’m all about creating a fun and flirty atmosphere where everyone can express themselves freely. I believe our community should be a playground of laughter, connection, and a little bit of spice! I’m here to make sure we all feel welcome to share our passions—especially those of the Charr variety.
I’ve got a collection of sultry Charr-themed fan art that could make anyone blush.
My favorite Charr character is Ajax Anvilburn, and I can’t help but imagine all the fun we could have together!
Join me for game nights where we can unleash our playful sides—who knows what kind of mischief we might get into?
So whether you’re a fellow Charr lover or just here for the good times, don’t be shy! Let’s connect, swap some steamy tales, and make this community a little more tantalizing. Roar on, gorgeous!
Sahved
Saint (DaedSaint)
Hi, I'm Saint. I've been a member of SG since 2022 and been playing Guild Wars 2 (NA) from beta. I am a Healbrand jail survivor, a former true Minion-Mancer (Healscourge) enjoyer, and a wannabe mesmer.
I began raiding during HoT release and had a rough go of it but came back around during PoF and discovered my enjoyment of GW2's PvE endgame around the time I joined SG as I was looking for a like minded community. SG has a great mission of removing the friction of finding folks to raid with and these days I can be found supporting our fantastic mod and officer teams who put in tremendous effort to keep that mission going.
Outside of GW2 I can be found playing FFXIV, Warframe, or an old rpg from my Steam backlog, and when not playing video games enjoy homelabbing, reading, and woodworking.
Careful where you tread, cub—you’re in my domain now. Name’s Saint, Legionnaire, warband enforcer, and the one who keeps this place running smooth… or rough, if that’s what you like. I don’t tolerate weakness, and I don’t play soft. You either hold your ground, or you kneel—there is no in-between.
I was forged in fire, shaped by war, and I take what I want. Charr don’t beg, Charr don’t yield—we dominate. We conquer. We burn. And those who can’t handle the heat? They get left in the ash. But if you prove yourself—if you show me that bite behind the bark, that fire behind the eyes—maybe, just maybe, I’ll let you stay close.
I like my warband loyal. I like my fights dirty. And I like my rivals just strong enough to struggle before they break. So tell me, cub… are you here to stand beside me? Or are you just waiting for me to take control?
Striezel
Hi, i'm Striezel. I sometimes invite people to the guilds.
Undead Choya
I'm UndeadChoya. My nickname is based on being a necromancer main and finding GW2 Choya funny.
My main role in Skein Gang is an events organizer and managing anything EU specific.
IRL I work as a boring 9-5 sales admin, but have always loved video games and mastering them, and was introduced to GW2 in 2017 during the pre-PoF release Beta event.
In 2022 I entered my first raid whilst also being the static leader. Learning and leading got me hooked and I soon joined Skein Gang in 2023 originally as a raid trainer / events host. My first SG static was HoT Progression with 8/10 being brand new raiders. Within a year we had completed multiple 3 hour Raid CM Full Clears & 1 Harvest Temple CM kill.
Yurugani
Hi! I'm Yurugani/Yuru/Yuri. I tend to, like Danny, handle the odds and ends and throw my two cents around when I can. I'll be in social channels from time to time but you'll generally see me running w/ the statics I'm apart of.
I've been playing GW2 for a little over 3 years. Started raiding with Stand in June of 2022, a team I still run with, after a very crazy set of coincidences (yes I'm talking about you Tea) ended up with me in the SG discord. From there I kind of just climbed. In the 2 and some change years I've been raiding I've lead one of SG's comp teams, Pack, to decent standings in 4 tournaments, gotten a world record (that has since been taken :c), multiple patch records, been the #1 Herald on wingman 6 eras in a row and, my crowning jewel, I was the Herald F2 consume GS S/S bench for a good while.
Outside of GW2 I'm a student going for an Accounting degree, have 2 twin cats that are little menaces and have, with Nick, recently started playing a lot of FF14.
