Bio
Before the Wiki
Ralph was an avid gamer, and Mario games were among his favorites, along with sports games.
A Columbian Discovery
In October of 2008, Ralphfan was searching for images of characters from the Mario series one day because he was bored. GoogleImages directed him to the Wiki, and, following in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus, he discovered something millions of people knew about before him. He constantly found sections that had improper grammar or spelling, but he couldn't edit them. On November 13, 2008, at 5:01 pm, he joined the Wiki as a member. An hour and nineteen minutes later, he made his first edit on a proposal by Dom. Ironically, he formatted his comment incorrectly. It took him four tries to write it correctly.
Help from Dom
Ralphfan found Dom's userpage after seeing his comments on proposals. Eventually, after seeing many interesting sections, such as his game ratings table, he asked how to make one. Eventually, with lots of help, he learned how to correctly make this table.
A User and His Page
Over the next few months, Ralph focused entirely on improving his userpage. Eventually, he created The "Real" Fake News, a fake news that lasted from January to February. The RFN tried to make a comeback in August, but it failed, and, in September 2009, it was deleted with the inception of new userspace rules.
The 'Shroom
Fake News
On April 22, 2009, Ralphfan became the co-director of The 'Shroom's Fake News alongside Xpike. Initially, Ralph filled in for multiple users who didn't send in their sections, but he eventually was able to get better users on the team. On August 13, 2009, Ralph became the Fake News' only director.
Monthly Mulligan
On August 23, 2009, Ralph created a new 'Shroom section, the "Monthly Mulligan". In the section, he reviews a game and discusses what can be done to improve it. However, the section was deleted after a ruling by The 'Shroom Core Staff to cut down on Entertainment and Review sections on Movember 25, 2009.
Ultimate Character Tournament
Ralphfan decided to create an event to determine the best character in video game series discussed on the wiki. Therefore, he created the Ultimate Character Tournament, and it is in full swing. Marioguy1, Super Luigi! Number one!, and Super Mario Bros. have made many contributions to the tournament, along with Tucayo, Noahp89, and Tehchomps.
Forums
Ralph has his own forum. It is mainly made of sports-based boards, but it also includes other boards such as Mindless Junk and Forum Games.
2010 and Trolling
In early 2010, while de-affiliation of #mariowiki and the actual Wiki was being debated, the de-affiliation was determined in part to the way Ralph had been treated in the past. Ralph, a strong advocate to keep the Wiki and Chat affiliated, feared corruption in the now Uniju-led chat. Eventually, Groden banned Ralph for no reason, and the prediction was verified.
Ralph also became a minor troll in #userpedia due to his resentment towards a certain user whose name shall not be mentioned on Userpedia and overuse of fads, such as "23". Eventually, due to a minor argument with Mr. SG, he was banned for 10 days, which was later reduced to a week. Two days later, after referencing 23, he was banned again for 30 days. Then, due to "targeting #userpedia ops", SMB and one other op convinced their colleagues to make the ban infinite. Some ops, such as Stooby and MG1, would have preferred to keep the ban at 30 days. Stooben Rooben was not even online at the time the ban was changed, and he became especially ticked off.
Ralph was also suspended from the forums for 30 days due to, "Going off-topic, making pointless short posts close to spam, flaming, sex jokes, etc. The list goes on..." Most of this was done by saying how he read something someone posted and thought it was a dirty word or by mentioning his post count. He was able to return to the forums on May 5, 2010, to Ugozima's dismay. Ugo began to make anti-Semitic posts, which Ralph subsequently reported. Eventually, Ugo was given a 3-week ban and Ralph finally made enough posts to get into the top 10.
Personality
Ralphfan was initially a clueless loser, which can be seen in the second and third sections here. However, with help from Dom and a few other users, his userpage became a colorful plethora of information and funny crap. He now makes many edits each day; many of them are minor grammar and spelling edits.
Appearances
It Began With a Dream
In It Began With a Dream, Ralph is part of the movement to save the wiki from the Trolls, but he is captured, despite SMB and MG1's attempts to save him. However, he was recovered by SMB and MG1 a few days later, and they discovered Rudnicki's master plan and disabled his machine.
User Soup
In Episode 19, SM reviews Ralph's Monthly Mulligan of Super Paper Mario and discusses how Turboo would react to it. However, Ralph doesn't make an actual appearance in the episode. He appeared in the holiday party, only to receive the Anaheim Ducks Stanley Cup Championship DVD. He will appear again in Season 4. In Episode 30, SM does a lengthy review of Chapter I of Ralph's Odyssey and mentions Ralph nominating his own article for FA. Ralph was the guest star in Episode 35 as the broadcaster for the User Soup Office Chair Race.
132 REDUX
Ralph made a drunken cameo in Chapter 8.
“I shuffled through a few random users, coming to Ralph. I sighed. I had a very low opinion of his behavior when he was sober, and now he was drunk as hell, doing stuff I would rather not describe. "Dude, chill." He nodded, and stumbled off.”
—Ralph's REDUX appearance, as told by Tabuu
Tabuu has considered implementing him into upcoming chapters, though it seems highly unlikely.
Relationships
Dom
Ralphfan had known of Dom's existence since he joined the Wiki; they both voted on proposals. On January 14, 2009, when Ralph was designing his userpage, he asked Dom how to make a table for game ratings. Dom helped him, and, although it took Ralph a while to figure out what Dom meant for him to do, they soon became good friends. Dom has since retired, but he still checks every now and then, and, sometimes, he'll respond to a message Ralph has left on his talk.
Stooben Rooben
Ralphfan has looked up to Stooben as a mentor since he first met him. Stooben is Ralph's go-to guy when it comes to something that requires a sysop. The two are likely to take over the Mario Awards in 2010 due to Wayoshi's retirement. Ralph based many aspects of his Userpedia page off of Stooby's.
Tucayo
Ralphfan also met Tucayo through the Proposals page. After seeing his userpage, Ralph wanted to know how to show who's online on his userpage. He found out, and the two quickly became good friends. They now constantly chat, mainly about sports.
Super Mario Bros.
Ralphfan met SMB through Chat and the Fake News, and the two have become good friends. They mainly discuss sports, but they recently have worked together to protect the wiki from spammers. SMB is one of the main contributors to the Ultimate Character Tournament.
Marioguy1
Ralphfan also met MG1 through chat, and they hit it off quite well. They discuss all sorts of topics, and MG1 is one of the main contributors to the Ultimate Character Tournament.
Super Luigi! Number one
Ralph and SLNO met through chat, and he now helps her fight off Maria, who has tried to hack and spam her on numerous occasions. He used to have a crush on her.
Tehchomps
Ralph met Tehchomps through chat, and they quickly became good friends. Ralph has gotten Chompy involved in both the Ultimate Character Tournament and the Mario Awards.
