Spotlight on Sweating Bullets

Sweating Bullets (aka SB aka Sweaty aka gn00bie aka Bullets with Butterfly Wings), author of "O'Catay and the Grapes of Wrath" was original born and raised in Northern India. After 18 painful years of tolerating gn00bie, his dad offered to pay for his university education, if and only if gn00bie went at least 1,000 miles away from home. After uni, Sweaty ran off to work in the auto industry, where he was given a 1-way ticket to the USA.

In 2004, while reading the comp.os.linux.advocacy newgroup, SB discovered BZFlag, where he quickly became proficient at pillbox style of play. In fact, he became so proficient that in late 2005 (see Bz-Incorporated's history for more details) The Red Baron hired him for Bz-Incorporated as a secret weapon. Upon being asked who he most emulated in bz, he said "And also, ah admire Admiral Admirarch!"

In April 2006, Bullets was gaoled along with the rest of his gang. He was accused of "Silly, Writing Ego Authoring Trash, Inanimate, Nausatingly Graphic, Belligerent, Uninteresting, Lackluster, Lollygagging Enigma of Tyranny & Sterility". His sentence: "Sweating Bullets is being forced to write one-line jingles for Microsoft, using only proper English with no computer or geek terminology. He has been put on a rigid schedule - he begins work at 6AM every morning and works straight through until 11PM. His sleep schedule may NEVER recover." Due to some confusion in a transfer, SB was somehow released after a scant 2-3 week stay at the gaol.

gn00bie is world-reknown for his sleeping habits. According to him, he is the envy of all (or at least all the Baron household). Occasionally, he is forced to crawl from his deep slumber and shake the moneymaker in order to pay rent on his sanctuary of snooze.

Rumors are currently circulating about an early return of DoDA to the SB household and possibly a spring trip to Italy. However, the celebrity author has more than adequate security and we have been, as of yet, unable to confirm these rumours.

Sweating Bullets likes marmalade, biharmonic functions, green shirts, leetified acronyms and ysm.

If you have relevant (or not so relevant, but completely interesting and maybe even partially truthful) facts to share about gn00bie, please post them in comments to this spotlight.

Well, I am not the only one who shakes the moneymaker. The disease appears to have spread and a few other BZ players shake the moneymaker these days. You know who you are, so I am not going to say it here :P
