Possibly one of the most quickly-developed and influential modder in the community. He is primarily renowned for his home-made smartzones, arenas and custom components; Entitled "Mad's Mods: thoughts + tweaks" released in August 9, 2007. Madiaba even recieved compliments from such legends like Lugicia, ACAMS, goose, and Clickbeetle, and has made some pretty good tutorials. He's created about 26 arenas total (Jun/10). He once created an entire arena from scratch using notepad. He works a lot 'behind the scenes' helping members organize/run tourneys, with new arenas, new AI.pys, difficult/problematic bots, and new mods usually with [[Trovaner]], [[Sage]] or [[Clickbeetle]]. He also works with [[Serge]] on coding; especially gmf work.
