    <b>02. Mao</b>
    Former Usernames: (none known)
    Famous DL's: (none known)
    Real Name: ?
    Age Group: ?
    Nationality: American
    Lives: America
    Registered: ?
    Had/Has A Website: May 1999
    Contribution to Apolyton: Civ III, Spam

    <b>Description:</b>
    Most people hardly ever see a post by Mao. He is the master of spammy posts, posts with little content and that just seem to fade into the background.
    Mao is a poster of few words.
    I first heard of Mao when he reached Deity level (the first time) and was disgusted, I posted on all on-topic forums except for the CTP ones and I had never seen a post by him at all. Then I discovered the Off-Topic.
    He lost his Deity status first when a PCR of 1000 posts hit him (or 10%) then he regained it and a forum bug reset his #of posts to 0. Mark fixed that and returned to him 10100 posts and he was a deity once again.
    He posted for a while, then disappeared to "The Frontier" an online story forum with "Chairman Milo" and "Shadowstrike" as well as other Apolytoners.
    His username was chosen because Mao was an ally to him in a Civ II game.

    • Sounds more like Mao to me

      Darkcloud, where did you get the info that I had made 2000 one word posts or was that a joke?
      Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

      Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

                  Oh, that was a typo
                  ... I meant that you made a large amount of short posts and I mistyped that.

                  I <i>could</i> leave it in... But, I suppose I have to fix it if I want this to be a news item for Version 2. In time for Friday
