Mav

Mav joined starsphere at the end of round 2, just shortly before the invasion of planetarion players. The first thing Mav did in the starsphere community was to apply to Sanguis et X, the dominant alliance at the time of his application. Unfortunately Mav got denied membership by the head of recruitment (Drea`D) as he couldn't muster the necessary amount of vouches and it seemed appropriate that he was given a chance to learn the basics abit with a group of players that shared his inexperience so he was referred to SiN.

It's the forum postings in particular that gave Mav his infamous reputation. In the 3000+ posts that he has written a large part is based on: 1) telling new players that they are newbies and they should get a clue before posting again 2) starsphere's competition is nothing compared to planetarion in the old days (of which mav was no part of) 3) telling newbies that are having a go at him what ranks he held in planetarion and starsphere alliances.

Mav was part of the kralizec community, unfortunately the slogan "stealth and shadows" doesn't exactly apply to him. Making a point or showing off has a higher priority than keeping intel (sources) intact or keep a low profile after all. You will find this player taking the credit for the work of others and exagerating past performances on a daily basis.

Despite his flaws most of the kralizec players where and still are quite fond of Mav, there were some issues with him and LENIN in particular after Mav showed a webcam picture of his face. He had informed us (the kralizec community) that he was 18 years old, but the recent taken webcam shot showed otherwise:

Possibly the most famous of LENIN's quote during the time that Mav was no longer in the graces of Kralizec was: <LENIN> Mav is an annoying little twerp who used to be our underling he used our names and made up titals to get to places and then runs away from us when we rip the piss out of him

Mav was forum moderator in the public Starsphere forums but got demoted after he showed his inability to do the job, after the admin changed his user title to "Moron" he requested that the account be deleted from the forums, the request was granted.

But it also must be said that Mav is a player that you can have a lot of fun with once you know him abit, and while some friendly friction like the LENIN-quote above happens on a daily scale, we all have a special place for Mav in our hearts.
