Michael
== Bio ==
Joined the game in 1998 at around 17 years old and spent the first 10 ages playing mostly in small ghetto kingdoms and also 1 decent one (Naked AR). 
At this early stage Mike (like others) was deleted for having more then 1 province and traded into a ghetto again after getting deleted. Mike was pretty active on the forums and involved in a thread for only danish speakers while this was allowed. There he met Cato the Elder, Catwalk, Mordor and Warkrazz.
Mike described himself as "pretty green.. but... very active" and in age 5 managed to win a province crown.
Some time after age 10 Mike picked up a hate towards Aquaseafoam and Absalom, after they broke a deal and setup multiple attacks on Cato the Elder ("one of the best and most fair utopia players ever"). Mike viewed this as "the worst thing i ever seen in UT, the big man (asf) trying to keep the smaller man down". Mike decided to no longer to play fair to win vs ABS and proceeded to build kingdoms with the purpose to hurt Absolom and its friends in any way this could be done.
After doing his own small rebellion Mike decided to move it to kingdom scale. After meeeting a programmer in real life he learned how to create 'script' provinces in utopia, from files with names, countrys and all info you need to make a province. The kingdom Freedom was gradually created, while Mike was playing in an almost entirely Danish kingdom called Legoland.
As Mike's hatred towards Absolom grew, he met a lot of new kingdoms and contacts with common interests. This group believed that abs was cheating in anyway they could to achieve success, so Mike joined more than one abs kingdom using fake identities and soon found them to be using a long list of tools (later on it would be the likes of trading, intel sites, scripting, xlog sites, bots and more).
While building Freedom Mike met a fellow dane called Munk and invited him to the kingdom. Soon after the kingdom began to use a site Munk was bulding, that would store intel and for the purpose of trading set up accounts using a proxy from the same country as the account to avoid action by Mehul. 
As scripting became harder, Mike used learning from his Absolom experience to message Mehul and Blake stories that he had been away and lost his province or similar so that admins would move the account into the desired kingdom. As no records were kept of where admins moved people from and to Mike moved 12-15 people into the Freedom and Tivoli this way. 
Alpha and Ratty, helped Mike build a tool for mirc that could play a province or multiple provinces. It would login, build, train, cast as you told it to do, explore, when it came to attacks you went to mirc said "province" target "location" send: Offence Specs - Elits: Number
Mike invested in Freedom and the day the kingdom disbanded he "sat down and cried for real, it was a huge emotional day because we (had) been so close for a period of time."
Over time many previous teammates would join Mike in new kingdoms like Tivoli, KnockOut, Lust and X. Mike made many 100s if not 1000s of new friends playing around 10 hours from school everyday together with Amokchen and the game was a HUGE part of Mike's life.
After some time Mike moved onto lead and manage more than one kingdom at a time, began spending 10 hours a day scripting building and trading with others while creating kingdoms, even giving provinces to Absalom. Mike created shell kingdoms (kingdoms with few players where all xlog on the munk site) where he would put 5-8 people he trusted to help him run the kingdoms and at one point was running 4-5 kingdoms at the same time. All Mike's kigdoms had the same mantra - beat/Hurt Absalom by any means, dirty or not. They engaged in scripting, Multi and xlogging, use of proxies, login sites, auto-hit scripts, mirc province bots, Lies, Cheating, Reporting, Gangbangs, Abusing Bugs, planting spies, making intel provinces. Mike viewed this as using the same methods as Absalom, with the main difference being he didn't lie about it.
Mike's urge to succeed led to him doing most of the xlogging personally for a small advantages, but lead to many of the other players in those kingdoms losing interest. The most serious kingdom Mike created was Lust, which was active enough Mike never felt a need to xlog (as well as Sylver arguing against). Mike grew bored and created another kingdom (shell) with Ethrell, where they targetted Absalom banks while Lust grew. After some ages the shell was discovered and the kingdom disbanded.

== Controversies ==
Coss claimed that Mike disappeared for days when things went badly and relied on others to make strategies in all the kingdoms he played in. He added that Mike paid more attention to kingdoms than his province which led to starvation and did not value old relations when he had moved onto new kingdomshttp://forums.utopia-game.com/showthread.php?637138-Who-are-we/page2 on 03/04/24. 
== Personal ==
Mike is from Aalborg, lives in Denmark and studied in school become an IT tech.
Mike admits that one relationship with a girlfriend for 4 years, who at the time he thought was the love of his life ("being young and all") ended when she left him due to his addiction to Utopia. This manifested as Mike playing the game every time he had a chance and getting up a night just to read messages and micromanage some things for his kingdoms.
