pontifexmax is an active player in the /int/craft community, having played most iterations from 2019 onward. He is known for being a builder and has traditionally been in the higher command of LeiteArts10's metagroup. In recent iterations, he has also played leading roles in factions with Voth.
i10
pontifexmax's first /int/craft iteration, he joined the server under the moniker “NegusSelassie”. A newfag, he travelled south from the spawn in Sinai and found his way at the southern tip of the Indian peninsula, where he founded the settlement of Ceylon. A small settlement, it was settled by a few players, of which pontifexmax was the only active member. Unremarkable in geopolitical affairs through the entirety of the server, it was initially a hermit town until it voluntarily became a dominion of the far-flung British Empire.

Having rediscovered /int/craft again years later, pontifexmax founded the city of Salvador with a friend. The town slowly grew, and was invited to join the nation of Brazil by LeiteArts10. Served in the Guarani Genocide precipitated by Brazil.
i29
pontifexmax founded the city-state of Novgorod, which remained in obscurity up to the end of the sparse populated server.
i30
pontifexmax played with Greece led by Gentlebud. He constructed the river fort of Thessaloniki which lay in the middle of the city. After Greece's incorporation into Monkeydonia, Thessaloniki was the target of multiple assaults and a final invasion which saw the fall of the city and rule shift over to Razzmus. Before its fall, pontifexmax escaped the city in a jet amongst a prolonged siege and smuggled the city's valuables to Italy, of where he became an exile. Fought in the Liberation of Skopje alongside other Monkeydonian exiles with NATO and Italian support.
i31
Once again played with LeiteArts10 under his nation of Israel. Served as mayor in Haifa, the nation's secondary town. pontifexmax saw extensive action, fighting off multiple raids on Israel as well as fighting in the final Six Hour War, where Israel managed a successful defence after a marathon siege by the 5-nation Arab coalition.
i32
Continuing his role as his right-hand man, pontifexmax played in the Netherlands led by LeiteArts10. pontifexmax was extensively involved in the development of the capital Amsterdam and contributed to the strategic direction of the faction. Served in the Dutch Invasion of France, the Allied Invasion of Italy, and in the Danish-Dutch War, which saw fighting primarily in Jutland and the Northern Lowland of Germany.
i33
A spinoff server, pontifexmax played with Babylon led by TheSpookyBone. A ragtag group, the faction would resemble the beginnings of Spookybone's metagroup. pontifexmax built the Etemenanki Temple of Babylon. He served in the unsuccessful allied invasion of Troy, the Sack of Armenia, and the indecisive siege of Petra.
i34
With i34 being highly anticipated, pontifexmax played again in Germany led by LeiteArts10. He built the city walls, some highrises, and the Berlin Art Museum. He saw extensive action, fighting on both fronts in the European theatre of the Great War, fighting in the Siege of Frankfurt, the Liberation of Frankfurt, the Siege of Paris, the Siege of Vienna, and successfully defended Berlin through its multiple sieges and assaults.
i35
pontifexmax played with North Vietnam led by VivianJames. Built the iconic temple of Hanoi.
Epochcraft 2
In a first, pontifexmax led a full fledged faction of his own. He ruled the Kingdom of Egypt and founded the city of Alexandria. A minor power and yet relevant, Egypt held one of the more developed cities of the server and was involved extensively in geopolitical affairs. The faction had only a small active player count and was comprised mostly of newfags. He led the Egyptian contingent in the Defence of Antioch after Seleucid appeals for help, and later personally fought in the Siege of Pella in assistance of Rome. He also developed an enmity towards disputedname, the leader of the ascendant Carthage in the west, after his acts of burglary and theft in Alexandria's temporary disbanding. Further acts of aggression against Egypt and the greater server led pontifexmax to become part of the coalition against Carthage, which was ultimately sacked at the server's end.
i36
pontifexmax played with the Takeda Clan led by altoids, and later in the Ashikaga Shogunate after the Takeda Clan's integration. Renowned as the Takeda Clan's strongest warrior and built Izu Castle. He would fight off raids on the Takeda castle-town of Kofu and also in multiple defences of Kyoto in service of the Ashikaga Shogunate. Additionally, he was involved in multiple offensive attempts on Miyoshi to little avail.

After a successful run as the city-state of Kashgar in Epochcraft 3, he once again played with Voth in the Confederate States of America (CSA). His right hand man, pontifexmax was extensively involved in the planning and development of the CSA and its capital Atlanta. He built the capitol building centered in Atlanta and the tallest skyscraper in the city. He fought in the CSA's numerous conflicts, fighting in the Invasion of Japan, the CSA-Ethiopia conflicts, the Battle of France, the Invasion of Britain, and in Operation Hannibal.
