Jonathan
Jonathan is a former major metagroup leader and server janitor. He first joined /int/craft during i28. He was a nation leader on iterations 28, 29, 30, 31, and 34. He was a janny, and leading assistant to the hosts Onions and Xethyr, on iterations 30, 31, 32, 34, and 38. On all those iterations except the latter, he was the only person on the server besides the host to have an operator account. He has also been a big contributor to the Wordpress, and hosts the map archive.
In his role as nation leader, he led his British metagroup to great success on many servers, turning them from a random collection of mostly-new players into one of the most relevant groups of their day. As a leader, he is undefeated in battle. In his role as janny, he largely avoided the controversy of the hosts he served under, being viewed as a mild-mannered emissary between the hosts and the playerbase. He did, however, make some enemies as a result of his nations' shifty diplomacy, among them manslay3r, Brogrammer, and Onion Wizard.

Jonathan was invited to play /int/craft from his group on 4craft. Since they ended up not playing, he chose to lead his own nation instead. He thus rose to leadership of the British Empire, and established his capital in the town of St. John's in Newfoundland. Since he wasn't present on the server's first day, the initial in-game leadership was delegated to Itsame. Jonathan led his troops in the Battle of Columbus, the Battle of Alaska, and the Battle of Cuba.
i29
On Filicraft 2, he was a leader of England, along with Itsame. He orchestrated the triumphant allied success in the Battle of Constantinople.
i30
Prior to Yugo Wars, Jonathan had gotten to know the admin hopeful, Onions. He partnered with Onions to help him run and moderate the server, and became Onions' right-hand man.
As a player, he was de facto leader of Croatia, but in-game was mayor of the secondary town of Split. Croatia was victorious in the Battle of Monkeydonia, the Siege of Zagreb, and the Battle of Sicily. He helped the Romanians in the Second Battle of Skopje.
i31
On Middle East, he split off from his group in Egypt to lead Iraq with Myron_N_Gaines and Cryostat. However, the two nations remained closely aligned, and Jonathan remained a member of Egyptian high command. In war, he participated in the first part of the Six-Hour War, betraying Kuwait by not fighting against Syria. However, when Kuwait invaded Iraq, he fought them and the USA to a draw in the east, with help from allies.
i32
Prior to i32, Jonathan helped with server development, including leading the production of the first ever released Nodes map. On the server, he was relatively inactive, but mainly played with his group in Russia. He fought alongside Onions in the defense of Italy and Rome, with the Netherlands in the Dutch-Norwegian War, and for Ireland in the Irish Wars.
i34
Jonathan played a major part in helping his friend Xeth with the development of World War 1, including the making of the server map and Nodes map. In-game, he returned to leadership, once again with his group as the British Empire. Although his diplomacy was initially poor (Britain became diplomatically isolated during the Africa struggle), the British emerged victorious in their wars against Serbia, the Ottomans, Spain, and Iran. After i34, he disbanded his metagroup and retired from being an influential person.
Epochcraft 2
Jonathan barely played Epoch 2, but nonetheless led the small nation of Illyria. He succeeded in an invasion of the Goths.
i36
On Sengoku, Jonathan fought Miyoshi as a member of his friend Luepola's nation of Portugal. He played the server only during the war.
i38
Jonathan was initially uninterested in playing World War 2, but gave in to again help Xeth with development in the last week before launch. During the server, he led a solo town in Albania, but then joined Falklands' town of Lisboa since he was impressed with the Portuguese architecture and ethos. As part of Portugal, he fought in their campaigns against France, Germany, and others. According to server statistics, he held the #1 rank for chunks captured, by a powergap.
