Popbob

Popbob is the most infamous autist and griefer in 2b2t history. He is known for being both one of the oldest active players on 2b2t and the most iconic one. He's notorious for having griefed more bases than any other known player on the server.

Early Times
Popbob is presumed to be one of the first players to join 2b2t in very early 2011. The most famous base Popbob was a part of was Passie Town, also known as Squid Base. He teamed with policemike55, passie05, xcc2, chase101, and CreamOfTheSlop (who turned out to be a traitor) and helped with the construction.

Popbob was able to do many things other players could not do because of his backdoor access to 2b2t. This allowed him to do things like spawn in materials and even make a pig spawner. Popbob's most known build is his trademarked glass dome.

Pop was also apart of early Facepunch bases in 2011. One of the most well known was the "1095 365" base. The members were popbob, Tark, Dachande, stewe231, and Phagocytic.

"After that, the group split into policemike, chase, passie, and xcc, popbob became an outcast, a recluse."

After he left Passie Town, popbob moved on to become a loner, although other sources say that he made some smaller bases. His backdoor was apparently the reason for Plugin Town. Over the years, popbob created his own client, nhack, to support his base finding and exploits. He is also known for his godlike chat spam associated with nhack, which is the Welcomer and Announcer mods.

Griefing and Autismal Outbursts
"popbob is a relic and a treasure to be cherished, he is known to everyone in one way or another from newfriends to players who played since early 2011. He has also a very peculiar personality, both laconic(when not spamming) and autistic. Some people leave, some people stay and those who do always change. I remember popbob from 2011 summer and he is still the same sadistic trash he was back then. May he never change."

Popbob went on to become an infamous griefer and autist. He worked as a lone wolf and occasionally griefed with D4RKJ0E (Jared) or iTristan. He was able to know exactly where players were at using the thunderbolt exploit. The exploit used an oversight in Minecraft's code that allowed the coordinates of thunder to be tracked down through packets, as the sound of thunder was global and would only strike where players were located. This allowed Popbob to find players, kill them, and grief their bases. According to Fit, it was a considered by many to be a rite of passage if you were killed and griefed by Popbob and continued to play on the server.

However during the third incursion, Popbob's griefing reign finally ended when the Incursion members hunted Popbob down and caused him to combat log. After this, popbob has left and rejoined many times on alt accounts or his main, spamming chat like a 5 year old to indicate that he's back in the game. Popbob uses alt accounts to keep his identity secret from the wave of new players, as the majority of them do not know the existence of these. The account names will be kept secret, but if enough investigating is done you can figure them out. Many people believe popbob quit 2b2t because of what Fit said, but he joins 2b2t occasionally on alternate accounts. Popbob was seen on December 4th, 2016. The last time he was seen for a long while was on April 1st, 2017, on the April Fools Map. The reason for his unexplained absence was that he was interested in playing other games, such as Football Manager 2016. He was later found on anarchy.pw on the account "morph_murph", before returning to 2b2t some time later, where he still occasionally plays, often hanging out at the nether spawn on his alts.
