Biography
Antix started on the Midnight Ocean on February 9, 2005, with a 7 day free trial. The trial expired two days before the Viridian Ocean opened, the first and only doubloon ocean at the time, where Antix could technically play for free; and so he moved over.
Viridian Ocean
Antix (named as a play on "antics") rose to the monarchy of Infierno De los Diablos in early March 2005.
On April 30, 2005, Antix led Infierno De los Diablos into battle at Prolix Purlieu I against the mighty Scupperer and his flag Scuppering Seven Seas, both flags fought hard in the 3 round sinking blockade, however Scuppering Seven Seas ultimately prevailed.
On June 25, 2005, Kirin Island became the first large island to be opened to blockading. Infierno De los Diablos won the blockade in three rounds uncontested. Antix became the first non-Ocean Master to govern a large island in doubloon ocean history. Antix installed a devil naming island theme to coincide with his flag name, this caused some controversy within the Viridian community.
On July 17, 2005, an old foe in Scuppering Seven Seas declared a blockade on Kirin Island, a decision was made to not reciprocate the war declaration to prevent heavy ship losses to a more experienced Scupperer. This became the first blockade to last five rounds, with Infierno De los Diablos winning two and Scuppering Seven Seas winning three, ultimately taking control of the island.
Antix came to the decision with his royalty team to use a strategic double blockade drop, and use Scuppering Seven Seas’ multiple island ownership against them.
On August 6, 2005, two blockades were declared to run simultaneously on Kirin Island and Prolix Purlieu. Infierno De los Diablos were able to win back Kirin Island in a three round sinking blockade. However on August 28th 2005 the island would be lost again, this time to Pay for Play at the time led by Tristan and Cyndiepet.
Antix would later go on to lead his flag to taking control of Harmattan Island after defeating Subliminal and his flag Fear and Loathing in a three round sinking blockade. This led to a public fallout on the forums in which insults were traded back and forth between both monarchs.
It was decided in October 2005 that a deal would be made with former enemy Scupperer in which he would trade the large Terra Island to Infierno De los Diablos in return for the medium sized Harmattan Island.
On January 22, 2006, Antix led Infierno De los Diablos to a successful five round island defence on Terra Island against the flags Riddlemakers and Confusion.r
In an apparent act of treason Macgreggor who formed part of the royalty team within Infierno De los Diablos, founded a flag The Syndicate alongside Calais, with the intention of blockading his former flag.
On February 12, 2006, The Syndicate declared a blockade on Terra Island. Due to real life circumstances combined with this perceived betrayal of his former royalty, Antix took a brief hiatus just before the blockade took place, resulting in the loss of Terra Island. During the hiatus, he closed down his flag.
Antix also won the first ship familiar auction on Viridian, winning a red monkey, named Saigon.
On July 30, 2006, Antix received two injuries during the blockade of Terra Island in which he was navigating for the defence, during round 2 he sank and received a pegleg and sank again in round 3 and received a hook.
Antix was also known to wear all black or at least some black clothing in his portraits, and was rarely seen around the ocean without wearing black.
On October 3, 2006, Antix was banned for password sharing.[1]
During late January 2008 Antix was unbanned 1 year and 3 months after he was banned.
On March 15, 2008, Antix with his flag Infierno De los Diablos failed to take control of Napi Peak after fighting it out on the blockade board with Sea Wrath and a Brigand King, the Brigand King managed to defend the island in 3 rounds. For the first 15minuites of the blockade Antix was unable to post a blockade job offer due to a pay bug in which when entering the jobbing PoE into the coffers the money simply disappeared, Prometheus eventually fixed the problem 15 minutes into round 1 of the blockade. By this point, Sea Wrath had gained a huge jobber advantage..
On June 15, 2008, Antix led a blockade via the flag Vanguard on Kirin Island shortly after the collapse of its owners Pay for Play. Pay for Plays allies RiddleMakers dropped a chest shortly before the first round started they went on to win the blockade in 4 rounds. Vanguard winning round 1, RiddleMakers winning rounds 2, 3 and 4.
Between 2008 and 2010 Antix stepped away from blockades and politics instead founding the crew Rated Arr who became notorious for making inappropriate jokes and playing various pranks. Antix became good friends with Martobain, Depix, Bulletproof, Magicaltouch, Ladadida and Cabinnaw during this time.
Rated Arr were known to have a “quote board” within the crew private statement where the funniest or most inappropriate comments by the crew were kept. They also became a well known pvp crew.
After nearly a 10 year absence from blockading on Meridian, 10th September 2017 Antix successfully blockaded Moab Island under the flag Infierno De los Diablos. The blockade was won in 3 rounds, with the defenders Trap House pulling out after the first round.
Sage Ocean
Antix briefly moved to Sage, where he founded the flag Lunatic Fringe.
On April 1, 2006, Antix under his flag Lunatic Fringe became the second person to govern an outpost island in Sage history, winning the isle Ashkelon Arch which was the first island to open in the Tern Archipelago.
On May 27, 2006, Antix and his flag Lunatic Fringe attacked Admiral Island after the former owners, Go with the Flow, disbanded. The blockade went uncontested, and Lunatic Fringe took control of Admiral Island, making Antix governor (his seventh time in the role).
Antix would later take a step back from the game altogether handing over control of Lunatic Fringe and Governorship of Admiral Island to Sidewinder
Hunter Ocean
On April 21, 2006, Antix founded and captained the crew Crimson Seablades on the Hunter Ocean alongside Halee and Jacktheblack. It was the third crew to be created on the Hunter Ocean. Captaincy was later given to Halee.
On April 22, 2006, Antix founded the flag Vicious for Jacktheblack. The monarchy position was given to Jacktheblack, and Antix was made lord of the flag.
At Pukru I Antix became one of few who have navigated in the first island opening on all current doubloon oceans at that time.
Following the banning of Jacktheblack and majority of Vicious’ blockade fleet locked under his ownership, Antix decided to leave the Hunter Ocean after only a very brief spell. He remains monarch of the inactive flag Vicious.
Malachite Ocean
On May 5, 2008 Antix ventured onto the newly opened Malachite Ocean where he founded the crew Shades of Evil and became prince in the flag Barely Dressed working alongside Thanos and Daquan.
Antix was interested in the opportunity of working politically alongside the notorious pirate Thanos, having been aware of him during spells on the Midnight Ocean. Unfortunately due to out of game commitments, Antix was unable to continue playing Puzzle Pirates or the Malachite ocean.
Midnight Ocean
Antix is also an avid follower of the now defunct flag Notorious Fandango, and it's iconic leader Looseweed who Antix considers his personal YPP political role model for his running of Fandango and his ideology's, he often discussed politics with Looseweed both in game and forum PM’s. Looseweed had also blockade navigated a number of times for Infierno De los Diablos on Viridian.
Antix first joined Fandango under the name Barrelstoppr around November/December of 2005 in the crew Hell Fire for Hire, he has since moved to the name Syndrome where he Captains the crew Resevoir Dogs.
Antix received a green/grey ribbon on Midnight under the name Syndrome for navigating in the Battle of the Sexes Blockade.[2]
On July 19, 2006, Antix obtained a tan monkey on the Midnight Ocean under the name Syndrome. Later he named the monkey Kano.
Obsidian Ocean
As of July 2017 Antix is now active on the newly opened Obsidian Ocean where he has founded the crew Inglorious Basterds with the intention of becoming involved in politics and blockading again.
Antix linked up yet again with Daquan and became a member of the royalty team within Veto, however in November 2017 Antix founded the flag Guerrilla Warfare on Obsidian with the intention of becoming a blockade and pollitically active flag.
