He is very helpful around the forums and also contributes to the wiki. He hosted [[Wheely Tag]] after [[Mouldy King Bash]] experienced technical problems. He has become known as the Tournament Paramedic, helping members through tournaments by AI'ing bots and/or making splashes and/or filming matches. He has done this for [[Terror Twisters]], [[Combat Clusters]], [[Chinese Whispers]], [[Mechapocalypse]], [[Micro Mayhem Reincarnated]], [[XBW]] and [[Xtreemer Than You]]. As mentioned previously, he took over [[Wheely Tag]] completely. He later completed his own tournaments [[Back to the Beginnings]], and the sequels, [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB 2|BTTB 2]], [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB 3|BTTB 3]], [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB 4|BTTB 4]] & [[Back To The Beginnings#BTTB V|BTTB V]].
