NationStates Jolt Archive

lHumm? Here's some thoughts.

1. Violet seems to run it all. Yet, she's talked about Max in the third person. Of course, she could just be throwing us off...and she has the most posts of anyone on, I believe.

2. Reploid has a lot of posts, and also seems to help run it. Max would probably choose this because Violet would take all the pressure, letting him roam free. Reploid has also openly talked about Max in the third person, but again, could just be throwing us off.

3. Dreadd. Not even sure I spelled it right. He's the third admin...3 posts. Mysterious. I think one of his posts was in the actual forum 7. Could this mysteriously mysterious person be Max?

4. Salusa. The Tech Modling. He is very important, and does a lot for the site. Thereby, could it be him?

[dredd] is the name.

So there's two max barry's according to the poll...and thanks for the spellnig.

This is one of my ideas,how do we even now that Max plays?

He said so during the IRC chat session. Also we've been told that he has posted in this very forum.

Also, lives are great things. I think everyone who's posted in this forum (yes that would now include me) should consider acquiring one or two of them.

Salusa Secondus, because he is always wearing a mask in his pics....

Eh, i think max should come out, if only with one nation. One nation could be his "Hey-look-i'm-max" nation, and he could keep the other one secret. That would make everyone happy...

Nah, let Max do what he does. BTW I'm not max.

Sketch, Hack, [violet] and [dredd] are the ones that I'm pretty sure about.

What if Max doesn't come at all? :shock: What if he just sits there and laughs at us for wondering? :( Are you out there, Max? Can you hear me? :?:

I worked it out in another post:


use this formula

a/3 + q^3 * -1 all over 0 = m
(-(a+q^3)/3)/0=m
-(a+q^3)/3=0
-a-q^3=0
-q^3=a
-q^3=7
-q=(cubic root)7
-q=1.912931183
q=-1.912931183
YAY
therefore, by the power of deduction, Max barry = -1.912931183
to find which nation, we go by founding date
|-1.912931183/13|=.1471485525
current number of nations = 126,714
.1471485525*126,714
=18646 th oldest nation
therefore, Max barry=
18646 The Ultra Humanite 09 Oct 2003 0

wow. I really really REALLY hope you just entered a bunch of randomness

I would say [violet] as a result of the optins on the poll, but I really think that he is none of those options.

I do know his name was Maxtopia once (look at the first passed UN Resolution).

Yeah, but that died from inactivity.

Thirded.

[dredd] has one post in the Archives, something about the forum speed if I remeber. Really light and offhanded... almost like someone who just watched decided to make a quick comment. Like an author would.....

I think he has [dredd] [violet] and [reploidproductions] they all have [] around the name. Could that be a clue?

I have seen a pic of Max, and he could be Salusa Secondus,

I'm more towards [Dredd] myself...very few posts, and those he has are light and offhanded...like an author.

it's [Dredd]

I DECLARE TEH WAR ON MAX BARRUY!

Bisons..

Bisons..

Wrong, it's Marathon

hehe...im only kiddin :lol:

Max Barry is Max Barry.

Or is he? :?:

Bisons..

Wrong, it's Marathon
If MIMB, shoot me now.

I think he has [dredd] [violet] and [reploidproductions] they all have [] around the name. Could that be a clue?

That's because they're admin. And rep was just a normal nation to begin with.

*S.T.U.M.P*

LMFAO even if you guessed it he wouldn't admit it so that he can at least play in peace. Imagine if everyone knew who he was. He'd get 1,000 TGs a day and at the same time he'd wind up never being able to participate in a fair and good RP because of the OOC clutter. You guys will never figure out who he is, he wants to remain private and let it be that way.

Oddly enough, he played as Textpeople :?

pfft, good try hack, too bad you didnt use a nation that actually has/does existed....

although i probably just made a big ass out of myself or somthiong...or got myself Deated so...damn it :(

and my ionability to use a keyboard doesnt make it any better :(

Textpeople existed. That or, Text People, I don't remember if there was a space. Some of the old hats will remember that name. Especially the old tech forum whores like me! :wink:

[dredd] isn't Max. On the NS game about page:


Software Architecture by
Geoff Wong, of the pioneering software development company Zikzak

So, we know that there is another person who helped set up the game and who goes by the name Geoff Wong. Googling for this person reveals:
http://www.shattered.org/~geoff/ - A personal website at shattered.org, which we know Max was at one time involved in.
Further searching reveals a sourceforge account registered to one Geoff Wong:
http://sourceforge.net/users/dredd/
Therefore, [dredd] can't be Max Barry because he is Geoff Wong.

Although... at the time of writing, their "who's on page" says that someone called "Salsa Dodinas" was logged in. (To shattered.org, that is... sound familiar?)

Hmmm, actually, I would imagine that Max is probably a person who chats fairly regularly. I suspect he probably is a popular General chatter, coz hes probably sick to death of roleplay. Unless of course hes a fantastic RPer, and using RP to brush up his skills..

In other words, he could be anyone...you, me, or they guy who posted above me...

Smacks them both in the...ahem...

Hey, for all we know, UN Multi could be Max...think about it. Coming on as a newer nation, just to confuse us?

I guess because of what's been said before, [Dredd] isn't a possibility. That's too bad. I was really hip about him. Hell, I voted for him.

Nor could [Reploid Productions], because he was a normal nation at one point (as I've been informed).

So that leaves [Violet], who often speaks of Max in the third person, and Salusa...which some new evidence has been pointing to. Shall I change the poll?

Maybe [dredd] is a possibility... because maybe Max is so unbelievable cunning that he arranged this little set up. Frankly, I don't think it is, and I'm not sure I care who Max plays as. I'm fairly certain he does play though, what with those mod conversations...

S.T.U.M.P.

Hold up! People. Think about it. On the IRC Chat transcript, it becomes obvious. None of the administrators can be max! All three of them, and Max, posted in the same IRC chat, without much space in between them!

So, unless Max is purposely setting it up that way (and I think he'd be going overbord there), he isn't one of the administrators! He can't be Violet, Dredd, or Reploid Productions! And, I hate to say it, but Salusa is WAY to formal to be Max! Do you realize how much closer this gets us to the truth!!! Do you know what this means?

It means we now we that Max is...one of 129,181 people!

That is, you take the total forum users (129186), subtract the four people we know aren't him (giving you 129182), and subracting yourself,if your loooking for him. That leaves us with 129181!

We're soo much closer now! Don't you see!

*grins with secret knowledge*

Goober looked at the IPs.

[violet] was Neut and [dredd] was Hack.

Salusa Secondus, because he is always wearing a mask in his pics....

I've seen him without his mask.. plus their builds (refering to salusa and max) are nowhere near similar.

Indeed.

Also, you can have multiple user names open in one IRC window. And the timing? Easy. Type a message on one, type it on the other, then send within seconds of eachother.

But ya, [violet] was Neut and [dredd] was Hack.

How does Reppy get 8%? :shock:

Unless Max is really a 19 year old woman named Stephanie from California, there is nothing ambigous about Rep's identity.

Please say the Reploid otes are jokes.

I got the fewest votes?

Now that's funny.

I figured it out

Max is ...


Michael Jackson 666


:shock:

the horror, the horror!

Some good observations there, but Max could be using a mutliple user chat program. I have to agree about Salusa. There may be something in this: Free Pacific States is TOO smart... is he confounding us with inner circles of pointless information? Am I Max making you wonder?

Max doesn't really exist...

Except that Reppy isn't 19...

:shock:
FREAKY!!!!!!!
although..max isnt on telstra clear i dont think...

I heard telestra = bad.. did I hear correct?

I know *smiles*. I think, this is from what that nation has told me, and it is an old nation, and it has posted in this forum.

I heard telestra = bad.. did I hear correct?
Telstra = VERY bad, in both Australia and New Zealand.

What? Know what?

(Yes, so saith my ex-boyfriend who is from Australia.)

Er..what is Telstra?

Okay, due to what's been said, I must say that all the admin options, and salusa, are reopened. Any could be Max. On the other hand, however, this is a lot of evidence against this...except in Salusa's case. There, it's only circumstancial.

Nonetheless, I think we're getting close here. Okay, so that's a complete lie. But were working at it, right?

Telstra is a phone company in Australia / New Zealand.

Oh, and it could be anyone.. even a normal mod. We don't have any evidence at all, just what we have given to us. There is a high chance that everything given to us is all false so.. :rolleyes:

Except that Reppy isn't 19...
Odd I thought that she said that she was 19 on the mod profile database.


Which reminds me. . .
Must. . . kick. . . database. . .

Im gonna laugh if Max's nation is somthing really obvious and you guys just failed to realize it...

Im sure that in some room, in some remote third world nation, a rich aristcrat is endlessly scanning IP's looking for the Real Max Barry....

yep

Ahhh get out of my mind *screams and writhers in pain as Max slowly eats through his brain*

Do not speculate on that which cannot be told until the stars are right. But I think it's... Ahhh get out of my mind *screams and writhers in pain as Max slowly eats through his brain*

BTW I'm not Max.

Both of you. Please

Yes, please! And nice sign, Enerica.

Okay, I think I've realize that none but the last option on that list could be true. Which leaves any of the mods.....assuming Max wanted to keep at least one nation with which he could moderate. But which one?

*Starts thinking about The Most Glorious Hack*

I don't think it is any of the Mods, but I do believe I know one nation Max Controls *hehe*

Mind tging, or posting here, who you think it is? If we could find one, finding more would be easy.

[dredd] isn't Max. On the NS game about page:

Although... at the time of writing, their "who's on page" says that someone called "Salsa Dodinas" was logged in. (To shattered.org, that is... sound familiar?)
"Dodinas" is a last name in the @@RANDOMNAME@@ bank...

Goober looked at the IPs.

[violet] was Neut and [dredd] was Hack.

This could just mean they're all AOL users, too...

Will the real Max Barry please stand up? Please stand up?

BTW, I'm not Max Barry :wink:

There appear to be 29 Max Barrys around the place, and I assume that none of them are the real one, or maybe one is. Cloning technology isn't that advanced yet.

i read somewhere that he killed that nation because n00bs kept sending him tgs saying: OMFG!!! yOur MaX baRrY!!!!

I just wanna get something off my chest...
NEWBS!!

There, I said it and the internet didn't implode.

I think I'll go now before I get crucified by a bunch of net techs with torches. Heh!

Hmm, I think its Enodia.

There is no theory.

No evidence.

No proof.

And in my usual semi-fashion, no idea.

:wink:

- The Rep of Komokom,

Who,

A) Needs sleep,

And,

B) Needs a new tin foil hat to... zzz. :)

That is definitly the most ironic post I've ever seen. Ironically funny, of course. Someone named "Gleek" with 3 posts telling us were newbs who spend too much time on the internet. Seriously, that is unbeliviengly funny.

Going back to the topic at hand...well, I believe I have found a way to locate Max's nation. Me and a friend of mine are currently working on it, and though it is a VERY long shot, if it works, and it just might, we could know who Max Barry is.

One thing is for sure. He's not a mod or admin.

Actually I may know two who it is, as I know a puppet of the one I think it is.


If it was a Mod it may be Steph, and all the pictures of her and stories are just made up. It's a clever cover.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=103128

We know this much. He posted here the other day according to the forum description.

We know [reploidproductions] has posted here. Has any of the other suspects posted here?

Yep

It isn't reploid, or any of the other vote options I gave. We can be pretty sure of that. In fact, it probably itsn't even a moderator.

It probably IS a large, old nation with many posts, probably above 2k.

Eh, i think max should come out, if only with one nation. One nation could be his "Hey-look-i'm-max" nation, and he could keep the other one secret. That would make everyone happy...

Interesting and possibly true

Salusa Secondus is obviously Max. Why else would we never see his face?

I would look for an exact opposite.

Max is male so his persona is female.

He's Australian so he's Canadian, Hong Kong, USA, Jamaica or England; still gotta speak English.

The age would be different. Not old because there's too little cover, too few old posters. So, high school, maybe college.

He's straight (I think), so his persona is gay or bi.

He's verbal so she's into science or computers or math.

He started the site for RP so she'd avoid that and be on a forum like General instead.

He has obvious administrative power so she would have none.

My guess is Bottle or Zincite.
