Some think it was simply that he was left jaded from all of the gems he wasted on recruits only to end up with 50 Hell Hounds while others claim his mind snapped from a 26 hour Solomon Mine session a few months ago- ultimately leading to Playmage incorporating the auto-spin function (to avoid any further casualties).
But one story I heard (the story I believe) was that it was the constant waiting for Zeus to show up in his shop that caused him to lose his mind... For months he lived like a hermit and only surfaced every three hours to check his shop. One day, he got fed up with waiting and blew all but 100 of his GP on revives and pots- only to find Zeus waiting in the shop during the next refresh. At that point he had a complete mental breakdown and decided to spend his last 100 gp on the only item he could afford in his shop... the 2* magma fish. He immediately began to hold conversations with his magma fish card in what he felt was it's native tongue- a language he made up consisting of bubbling noises. After claiming to hear the fish talk back to him, he became convinced that this card was superior to Zeus, and eventually incorporated it as his arena team anchor.
...he now lurks in the playmage and toucharcade forums waiting for his opportunity to create a full scale magma fish revolution
