Trivia
Apparently has a fetish for Mudkips.

Craaig joined the forums in March 2009, and describes himself as a 'generally happy guy', although some just take him as 'random'. His real name is Craig, for those who didn't guess.

He likes to think of himself of a general good community member, helping out everywhere as much as possible, including in technical support topics and on the Wiki, running several tournaments for the enjoyment of members (see below) and keeping the peace wherever possible. He also likes to think of himself as a good sportsman within tournaments.

Ranked 6th in the Rust In Pieces standings, a series of tournaments that he runs himself.

When Craaig signed up, he was quite a n00b and co-made the 25x Post of Shit with Hydro. He even given the Spamweight Post Rank for several weeks, and became one of the Two Gods of Shit although these n00bish habits are well in the past.

Tournament Running

Craaig had his own DSL MW tournament, Rust In Pieces, mainly due to the lack of DSL tournaments taking place at the time. It had 22 competitors, and was won by Pwnator's Paper Cut 3.

He also hosted the Not Overly Epic Showdown, Sparkey vs Avalanche, to find out who would win. In the end, Avalanche won all 3 matches.

The follow-up to Rust In Pieces, Rust In Pieces 2, was a DSL SHW tournament with 16 competitors. yoda9726's Gluttony won the main bracket, while Naryar's Shiva won the Loser's Bracket.

Craaig is already planning a Rust In Pieces 3 to take place relatively soon.

Bot Building

He tends not to showcase all too much any more, often only building for tournaments. He seems to have a tendency for making 'odd' or 'insane' bots for tournaments, because most people 'take stuff too seriously'.

Stock: Craaig doesn't tend to build in stock at all any more, but recently showcased a Complex FS, the first Craaig (and many others) had seen.

DSL: Builds mainly Vertical Spinners, and tends to build series of robots instead of individual machines, currently mainly working with the 'Orange' design, which has spawned successful robots such as Blood Orange (BBEANS6) and Immunization (RIP2).
