Macrohenry is an active, veteran, German highscorer known for his high level of skill, graceful runs, and his mysterious past. He started highscoring on the Metanet boards as early as February 2006, but did not make initial contact with the community for over six years. Although he had a modest 0th count, those 0ths were noted for being impressively clean and innovative, such as his amazing 92-3 run. They showed a huge deal of skill and dedication, and most of them still remain unbeaten, which is quite a big feat considering how old some of them are.
However, everything changed in 2012 when he came back and first made contact with the community. Upon then, he started highscoring on a regular basis, slowly increasing his pace through 2013 to mind-blowing levels. As of April 2014, macrohenry is ranked 1st on Total 0th Rankings with 160 0ths, and tied for 0th on the Top-20 and Top-10 Rankings with 599 scores, as well as absolute 0th with 599 Top-5 scores. He is also 1st on both Total Level Score and Total Point Rankings with 71910 seconds and 10815 points, respectively.
Highscoring
2012
During April 2012, he came back from out of nowhere and surprised the community, when he downloaded NReality and started highscoring a bunch of levels (999 levels by the March 2013, the maximum attainable, excluding 59-0) and taking a lot of 0ths (60 by February 2013, 29 of them from Metanet levels). He also started making maps in June and therefore made his first contact with the community, since then, he has registered on the forums and has kept on highscoring and mapping. He is frequently on IRC and is one of the most active highscorers nowadays.
Macrohenry continued to take 0ths with astounding runs such as his runs on 06-4, 39-2, 40-2, 78-1, 85-3, 88-3 and 92-1.
In November 2012, macrohenry finished a month-long highscoring/speedrunning contest called Bounty Hunters which was hosted by ska. Macrohenry was the runner-up and faced tough competition from the likes of EddyMataGallos, vankusss, jp27ace, Raif, Izzy and more.
Macrohenry started working on the overall game, apart from taking 0ths, and by the end of 2012 he surpassed 300 Metanet Top-20 Scores. Also, by 31 December 2012, macrohenry finished the year reaching 70000 seconds of Total Level Score, and therefore becoming the 13th highscorer ever to do so.
2013
Less than 36 days later, on 6 February 2013, macrohenry was the 7th ever player to reach the 71k milestone.
Macrohenry kept highscoring at this high rate and, by the start of March 2013, he reached 599 Metanet Top-20 Scores, only the 3rd* player to accomplish this.
By 23 April 2013, macrohenry passed Kool-aid in level and total 0ths and was ranked 3rd on the Metanet 0th Rankings with 42 0ths, and tied with EddyMataGallos for 0th on the top-20 boards with 599 top-10 scores, becoming only the 2nd played ever to achieve this feat after EddyMataGallos the previous year. Around the same time, macrohenry also surpassed xaelar's Total Points Score to be ranked 1st, behind only Eddy. Macrohenry also managed to take episode 00 from golfkid - the first player to hit the illusive 360 second mark for that episode.
On 9 May 2013, macrohenry passed xaelar's Total Level Score and therefore moved up to the 1st spot, only behind Eddy, with a score of 71552.550 seconds. By August 2013, macrohenry had overtaken both vankusss and xaelar in the total 0ths ranking to be behind only EddyMataGallos.
2014
By the start of 2014, macrohenry managed to surpass 100 Metanet 0ths, and hence became the 9th highscorer ever to reach this milestone. By this time, he had also exceeded 10000 Total Points.
By March 2014, macrohenry managed to pass 150 0ths. However, apart from taking 0ths, he had been working on his overall game, which allowed him to eventually reach 599 top-7 scores. Ultimately, his goal is to reach 599 top-5 scores.
This overall work made him the 2nd player ever to reach the 71800 digits in TLS.
By the end of March, he temporarily surpassed EddyMataGallos' Total Level Score and Total Points, to be 0th position in both categories, until Eddy came back from his year long recess to claim both back.
In April, macrohenry managed to reach 35000 seconds of Total Episode Score and eventually passed eru to become 0th on Episode 0th Rankings.
By the end of May, macrohenry reached the milestone 71900 seconds of TLS, becoming the 2nd person ever to achieve that feat.
In early June, macrohenry managed to reach his goal of 599 Top-5 Scores, becoming the first person in history to ever achieve that feat.
2015
The start of February 2015 saw macrohenry with about 30 fewer 0ths than he had about a year earlier, despite being very active in 2014; he increased his total level score past 72k and his points ranking by over an additional 300 points. A big reason for this loss was Eddy's assault on episode 0ths, which was responsible for the loss of 18 0ths for macrohenry alone.
Mapping
Since 2012, macrohenry has also made himself a name in the mapping scene; polishing his style with time to the point of being among the current top mappers.
As of April 2014, he has made 140 maps including an episodic saga currently at its 3rd column, apart from some Simple Challenges and isolated maps. His maps have been well received by NUMA users, including a feature. They can can be found here.
*It is not clear how many players have reached this amount since in the old times there were no reports and is probable that some others did reach the milestone. The only known players to have reached it though, are Brett_Sully_, EddyMataGallos and macrohenry.
