== Biography ==

Zava joined the game in Feburary 2005 after reading a Slashdot [http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=137980&cid=11543383 comment] written by [[Darvid]]. She downloaded the game immediately, but was unable to play because she was in the middle of a class. Instead, she read the entire documentation and checked out the forums. Later that evening, she washed up on {{midnight|Turtle Island}}. Her first [[pillage]] also became her first crew: Zava was recruited into [[Infernal Infidels]] by Saltine, Swamprat, and Saltycdawg. She would remain there for nearly a year.

In June, she was promoted to the position of lady within Midnight Armada. As a titlee she worked to minimize the communication gap between the royals/titlees and the rest of the flag. Along with [[Ninjaguy]], she also spent a lot of time explaining the new [[housing]] and laying out possible housing placements on Park. She started becoming impatient with the amount of talking seemingly required to accomplish anything within Midnight Armada. She knew there must be other ways to run flags, but was unwilling to leave her crew. Also, she was quite interested in the mechanics of [[war]] and [[blockade]]s and knew her flag was not likely to experience those. As a result, Zava began exploring other oceans.

== Blockades Coordinated ==

Her preferred position in a blockade is a combination of land-side admiral and jobbing contact. Blockades in italics were won. Blockades in bold were headed by Zava; unbolded lines denote a co-coordinator position.
