Okay, I'm going to admit that I don't know you guys too well for the most part.
Little background: I'm a good friend of Max's from school. He is the reason that I joined Conquer Club and although I tried to branch out a bit, I think I just mostly enjoyed playing with him. Something to do. I've been fairly inactive ever since September since around this time 1) Max got banned and 2) I moved to Germany.
Max enjoys being talked about like no other, and so I was obliged to read this thread, although I can't say much. I don't know anything about most of these people, but at the very least I can say that Max and elistuy (I'm assuming he's unknown enough that you don't call him by name) would never work together like this. I know the brothers personally and can say that, in this situation, one would brag to the other about how awesome he was at most. Max has been accessing cc in his own ways for quite some time without elistuy's account...also, using a proxy that would read as France is terribly like elistuy.

They are most definitely different people.
