"Noli nothis permittere te terere."
Hi! My name is Sean, but I prefer my nickname (you can call me Max if Maximilli is too long for you, you lazy person). I'm almost 17. I live in Minnesota, but my home is the 'Garden City' of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. I have a fantastic girlfriend named Jen. You can check out my MySpace profile, which is a more extensive account of my interests, personality, et cetera, here.
I like Woodsball, Electronica, the Halos 1 & 2, and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.
I am the Assistant Coordinator of the Paintball WikiProject, which I created last year. I am proud to say that we have now grown to eighteen members in that time, and as always, new members are welcome! :)
I am team commander of the semi-professional woodsball team called the Dogs of War Paintball Platoon, also known as the 190th Woodsball Division and the Kickass Kommandos (we go by a lot of different names, depending upon our collective whim at the moment). Also resident woodsball marksman (known as a Longbow Sniper to those less PC about things).
Here's for those who say 'paintball snipers' don't exist....

[edit] Pages that have borne extensive editing on my part
Articles created:
- Woodsball strategy—My prize project. I'm really proud of it. Now I've got to somehow start finding resources for refs. *winces* If anyone has any ideas for a ref, go ahead and tell me, please....
- Paintball marksman—I started this article from scratch, and am quite happy with it right now. This is the second page that incorporates my knowledge of graphic design and composition.
- Speed paintball—Not being a speedballer myself, I started the article and have only been keeping an eye on it as others do the bulk of the work.
- Player positions (paintball)—This is a disambiguation page, part of my attempt to reorganize player positions.
Articles heavily contributed to:
- Woodsball—I'm quite proud of this article - it's gone a long way in the last couple months. Compare! 1 and 2. This is the first article that incorporates my knowledge of graphic design and composition.
- Paintball—None of the edits I've made to this article have really been very radical (not nearly as much as with the other pages listed here) but they've been numerous, and several of them somewhat substantial. So I think the work I've done to the article deserves at least passing mention here. By the way, this article will soon be nominated for FA status, if the project's efforts come to bear fruit. Excellent...
- Paintball tank—When I found it, this article was a terrifying mess. Now it's only a terrible mess. ;)
- Player positions—I've done quite a bit of work on a number of these, especially renaming and substantial general edits.
- Virtually every page in Category:Paintball. :D

[edit] Recent paintball activities
I just spent the last two days first preparing for and then fighting in a D-Day scenario game of about 120-150 people in southern Minnesota, in which the core squad of my team and myself were members of the 'badass' 101st Airborne Division. I myself racked up twenty-seven confirmed kills - with five more suspected - on only four deaths, and around the middle of the day personally seized unofficial field command of the entire 101st division and commanded it during four separate offensives which turned the tide of the game for the Allies and contributed thirty-two points of the Allies' total 48 points. The Axis were defeated by only four points, which were achieved by a last-minute offensive on the part of the 101st, supported by elements of the 82nd Airborne and 1st Infantry, which overran in the last two minutes of the game a number of point-scoring flag stations, previously held by Axis forces. I've got a lot of cool and funny stories to tell that I might someday if I ever get the time.
I'm finding I need to use him more and more as time passes. Oh well.

My paintball stats so far this year (yes, they are small numbers, but that's what most marksmen have):
Kills: 117
Deaths: 34
Headshots: 28
I intermittently write a spy-fi novel called the Meridian Net, set in this solar system about a spy and genetically-enhanced super-assassin in an intrigue-ridden and corrupt authoritarian society.

[edit] For me
This is a section I'm intending for myself, to remind me of various things.
To-do list
- Organize the article quality rating scale
- Find refs for Woodsball strategy
- Categorize the various templates created for the Project's uses
- List those template categories in a Project sub-page
- Go through the multitudes of game variants and organize them accordingly
- Create a real-life image for Woodsball strategy
- Userboxes:
- Create a speedballer userbox
- Create a scenarioballer userbox
- Check up on the Spartan/Athenian userbox idea
- Perhaps a better Halo userbox?
- Finish the multimedia organization for the Project
