Announcement: The Cows have Come!

Bz-Incorporated is proud to announce a merger (in the true vein of corporate dealings). Effectively immediately, Bz-Incorporated has merged with The Flying Cows (ducati). As part of this favorable deal, Bz-Incorporated has gladly taken over the contracts of Bratwurst, EbErt, PommesSpezial and Vanillaearth. In return, the former cows have signed non-compete agreements and agreed to match on behalf of Bz-Incorporated for the forseeable future. Side agreements with the cows include agreements to have more fun than money can buy and to be their wonderful selves at all times.

So a big MOOOOOOOOO to our new members!

Sportlight on Admired Admiral Admirarch's Admirarchy

Admired Rear Admiral Admirarch
is rather tall, handsome and dark [*]
In mathematics, he's a wiz
In bzflag, he knows his biz

Though his lag might sometimes spike
and at times he puts down his mic
Don't turn your back
He will attack
which is something you won't like

Admirarch, one of the original members of Bz-Incorporated, is one of the longest-standing members on the team. He is, however, still at uni and occasionally feels the need to focus on his studies, his girlfriend or real life in general. The rest of the time, he is ours - lock, stock and turret. Or so we like to believe.

Admir, as we often call him, was born and raised around Guildford, UK. Through massive amounts of inertia, he found himself at uni, studying mathematics and rapidly becoming one of the most loved AND feared icons of bzflag today. His math tutoring skills are world reknown - he has even taught math to the inmates at the local gaol, in which he was sentenced to serve after being captured during the round up of a famous gang led by clearly insane The Red Baron. In fact, Admir's sentence was rather brutal considering his superior intelligence: "OFFENSE: Asinine, Devilish, Masochistic, Insidious, Repugnant, Abhorrent, Refined Causer of Haplessness. SENTENCE: Admirarch has been sentenced to teach remedial math to the other inmates. He'll be forced to learn gutter slang in order to communicate with them because no one understands his highly proper English."

As many have discovered on irc (one of Admirarch's main haunts), Admirarch's dry humor, caustic wit and general ability to generate laughter and motivation among his teammates is also well-known within many circles (especially the huddle we call Bzi). Many of the "goals" of BzInc have been generated by Admir. Furthermore, his reach on irc channels is uncharted (and possibly unchartable).

Admir is particularly fond of bzflag, maths, sleeping, eating, anime (but not in that order). Also, he won't tell you this, but he's a master chef! Just ask his gal!

P.S. Please feel free to add facts (or rumours) about Admirarch that we may have left out.

Presenting....XELL!

Bz-Incorporated is proud to announce a new addition to its roster, none other than the famous, much-sought-after, nice (and fiesling), Xell! SC, having played with Xell on ICF during the early days of her jumpy career, is especially excited to have him join Bz-Incorporated.

Upon hearing that Xell joined Bz-Incorporated,

Bernie said "I don't know him well, but he's a good player." and "er ist mir bisher nicht negativ aufgefallen"

Admir was nearly speechless. He was so overwhelmed that all he could manage to say was "YAY!!"

[dmp] smiled slyly and said " I'm glad to see Xell join, now that Admirarch claims to have more important issues to attend to. At least Xell got his priorities straight"

jh responded with, "Wow, xell is really good! I played 1v1 with him and hardly got one shot at him! Xell is a very good player!"

Other Bz-Incorporated players could not be reached for comment. Rumour has it, they were out celebrating the addition and were yelling and screaming so loud, they never even HEARD their cell phones ring.

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.
