Xeron
Date Joined:	26 May 2015
Residence:	Port of Xenia
Crew:	Xenia
Rank:	Quartermaster, Vice Admiral

Xeron (aka Maximus_Terragon) was a member of the staff team, vice-admiral (head admin) and formal leader of the staff team. He is most known for hosting the server ship battles, his shipbuilding, and previously being Godsdead's secretary. He received the rank of housewright, moderator, and admin in 2017 in quick succession. In 2018 he was symbolically 'promoted' to be Godsy's secretary, requiring him to wear a short skirt during his duty. After Godsdead, Xeron was the second in command for much of 2019 and 2020.

Server wise, he is the founder of the Xenon Empire, The Xanthian Order, and later Xenia - all reasonably established crews. Since becoming admin, he has retired from participating in server drama to focus more on moderation and development. He quit the server in March 2021 following a series of escalations with Godsdead.

Overview

An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the Port of Xenia; one of the largest ports on the server, the Grand Ballroom; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the Xenon Tower; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also owns one of the largest and most accurate ship fleets on the server, being based off French 1780s designs.

He is credited with the design and building of spawn, many of the server's ships at warps, rebuilding cove, hosting the server ship battles and building of the arena, designing and testing of the crates and their drops, creation of over half of the server's brews, creation of several new cannons and projectiles, hosting of the two BoTMs in 2018, the organisation of the staff team, as well as creating/developing the configs for many of the server's plugins including cannons, crates, xmas and halloween events, brewing, and chat messages.

History

Xeron joined in April 2015 and was the founder of the Xenon Empire. He was heavily involved in the First Verussian War, Second Verussian War, developing the League of Nations, and later the Commonwealth. Under his leadership the Xenon Empire was merged with other crews to form the Xanthian Order in 2017. In April 2017 Xeron was promoted to Commodore (mod), and became admin in September 2017 so took a step back from drama. After being promoted to vice-admiral (head/super-admin) he created his 'retirement crew' Xenia.

Absence, retirement, and removal from staff

After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break in December with little to no communication to the staff team or community. This appeared to deeply upset Godsdead as it forced him to find a replacement 'staff team leader' or push for more cooperation among the team. He briefly returned during this period to finish outstanding plugin projects in anticipation of him permanently quitting.

In March 2021 he returned to PMC with the intention to push for big server changes as a result of glaring issues that had become apparent over the previous 6 months of general inactivity with the hope of finding new purpose on the server. These changes were suggested and discussed with Godsdead privately and included: a less hostile attitude from Gods towards the community, reduction or removal of pay2win features such as /back and instant tp, additional cosmetic items for the store, and payment for future plugin and config work given the large amount of work previously done.

Godsdead acknowledged his inproper behaviour towards the community but rejected the remaining suggestions and demand for payment, and wrongly assumed that Xeron would therefore quit. Therefore, in an escalation of events Xeron's access to all plugin and config work was revoked, along with website admin permissions. When confronted with this by Xeron, Godsdead denied any wrongdoing and continued to push a hostile narritive. This culminated in Xeron formally retiring as staff as a result of "having the door slammed in my face after being taken for granted for 4 years with little to no appreciation".

As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank although many of the permissions have been removed.

Additional Notes

Ships

Xeron is credited with designing the majority of ships the server sells at various warps.

Server building projects

He joined the building team in secrecy in mid 2015, only revealing to be one of the main builders when he received the rank of housewright in early 2017. During his time as builder and eventually the build team leader, he has rebuilt cove, designed and built both spawn and the new ship battle arena, and is credited with designing many of the server's ships.
