All I can say is, if the real Max Barry has seen this page, he's probably burst out laughing.

I think someone here said that Max used to have Maxtopia, but stopped playing on it after he kept getting flooded with telegrams.

Hm...

We're going to lead an intense search and cross-reference grammatical patterns and style of writing as well as sense of humor in every post in this thread with the news posts from the few years.

This thread was your undoing Max! Do you hear me? Your undoing!

I remember my former nation of Barringtonia was touted as his nation occasionally - posting.php?mode=quote&f=4&p=4449293

I'm sure it's not a regular Mod, I'm sure it's not anyone that could be guessed, it certainly wasn't Barringtonia.

I think Yum had another nation before 2012.

I do not use NS stats. And this nation does not represent my RL views.
We live scars,
White Knuckles,
And no regrets.

Broken bones and bodies
We refuse to quit

With Graveyard Shifts
We never miss

Hard work, perseverance, dedication
Things we will never forget

Fearless and Peerless

Victory never takes a Vacation
We take action, and pride in the Unspoken

What I'm trying to say is that there are websites where Max has accounts. It's easy to create an account on these websites and contact Max through that. There's even a website where they have a whole discussion about NationStates and Max Barry himself has written in it

No, because Max was identified by a different user, not himself, in a website which doesn't have the slightest to do with NationStates
