Max

## Summary

Max was an acquaintance of NATO who joined the server to help his friend take back Mexico City after Oblivion conquered it. Max succeeded in this goal easily and decided to leave the server. In a twist of fate right after the city was reconquered an unknown griefer destroyed it. NATO decided that the best thing to do would be to move tens of thousands of blocks away from spawn into the middle of a jungle where he would build a new Mexico City that would never get destroyed.

   Max joined him in this adventure and the two became good friends as they spent an unreasonably long amount of time clearing out the jungle, building houses, and gathering resources. Despite their success they weren’t able to build at a fast enough pace so they began recruiting new members. Freezy was the first recruit. He was well liked by everyone and had good chemistry with Max. Banana Boat was next to be recruited and he proved to be much more chaotic than Freezy. Max liked Banana and was successfully able to convince the rest of the faction to keep him. Eventually Max was put in charge of recruitment efforts and he successfully made Mexico into the largest faction both in terms of size and population while stopping anyone too bad from getting in, because of his long term service to the nation he was made into NATO’s official second in command.

When the time came for people to suggest names for the new capital of Mexico, Freezy was the only one who suggested a name (Tenochtitlan). Max wanted this name to win but thought it would be unfair to not have some kind of election so he jokingly suggested Maximillianopolis as a name. Despite the comical nature of this suggestion it was highly successful and when a vote was held for what the new city should be called it ended in a tie. The debate was sorted out when TJ came in as a tiebreaker and decided Tenochtitlan should be the name. While there for the vote, TJ was very impressed with the city and decided to build a house in Tenochtitlan.

TJ decided to build it as a penthouse leading to Max joking that it was secretly an office tower disguised as a penthouse. TJ found the idea amusing and he worked with Max to turn the house into a skyscraper which would become the first ever building in "the Five Leaf Corporation" which appears in a different wiki page I will write at a future date.

    While Max had initially disliked TJ he started to like him alot more after that project. The two would spend weeks working together on a new 5 leaf corp. building in the middle of spawn. TJ built the tower and Max converted it into blackstone. The duo would later build many other projects together such as TJ’s house, Senorlandia, and Fort Wyoming.

As Max opened up to the rest of the server more he appeared in the first two battles of Oceanside, the Sanctuary liberation campaign, and the Capital battle. He also was the main villain of the “headhunter war” (a non-canon war that started when TJ enabled a plugin that made people drop their head when they died, leading to Max trying to collect everyone’s head.)

When season two ended NATO decided to leave the server and held an election over who should be the next Emperor of Mexico. Max won in a landslide and did a number of things. Most notably he brought back villagers to Mexico, built a giant pyramid for NATO, and made a castle in the mountains of the south. Despite this he mostly kept the country isolated and similarly to NATO had no interest in getting Mexico involved in lore.

With his relative success as Emperor he decided to run for President of the SMP. His platform of being anti-big government and his coalition building skill gave Max a narrow victory. He used his power to write a constitution for the government and hold a meeting of the governing server council. After seeing how inefficient the council was, Max decided to keep the government as irrelevant figurehead leadership for the server. (Also TJ deleted the government text channel and made it impossible to post in the law suggestions channel which makes it kind of hard to do anything.)

As time moved on Max became increasingly disinterested in the server and spent less and less time online. The members of Mexico formed a DND group where they spent their time together and Max began working on other things.
