====== Slik ======

===== Recruitment =====

Through ignorance and laziness, I managed to be a successful puzzle designer for a decade without joining the 
NPL. In 1984, [[Hex]] told me that I should join, and so I gave in after only a decade of //Games// and Dell 
editors pressuring me to do so. Since then, of course, I can't imagine not being a member. (Whoops, I wasn't 
a member for about six months in there. So I guess I can't imagine not being a member AGAIN.) 

[Later:]

[[Hex]] were definitely the first, but I think Peter Gordon, [[manx|Mike Shenk]], 
[[sluggo|Nancy Schuster]] and Mark Danna all pushed me to join at one point or another.

//First Issue//: Dec 1993

===== Recruits =====

[[java2|Java]], [[Kitsune]], [[Maro]], [[Teeuwynn]], [[Wolf]].

===== Nom =====

Ostensibly, it's successive letters in my last name,
SeLInKer. But mostly, I gained a rep for bravado in puzzle
design, so much that most editors hate working on my stuff
because I give them such tight constraints. So the nickname
SLIK (as in, "Thanks for making my life hell, Slik") seemed
appropriate.
