LightningB0lt44

The Beginning
LightningB0lt44 joined 2b2t on the 18th Febuary 2020 after a close friend, Digandbuilder, suggested he should play. Shortly after escaping spawn, he proceeded to create a base with him dubbed "SoccerFC", a spawnbase named after an inside joke from real life. After its grief 2 months later, he went inactive until May 2020, when Digandbuilder invited him to Eagles Rock 2, the Backstreet Boys summer main base. There, he built some houses, a small pvp area and decorated pathways around the base. This is where Lightning achieved the "Affiliate" role in BSB and befriended other BSB members such as iMems, NOON3R, CrunchyHotSauce, v999, yos and lisavel. In Autumn 2020, Lightning would be invited to his first significant BSB grief, destroying Chongfuer, a Donfuer base. After these griefs, Lightning would be quickly promoted to Inner circle in BSB and helped iMems and dig with recruitment work and stash hunting.

In December 2020, Lightning and dig started looking for a new main base location. While searching on the 100k World Download, they found an island that looked remarkably similar to the island in the Nintendo game Wii Sports Resort. This island would become the BSB base named Wuhu Island which was active until it was griefed in April 2021. There, he decided to share some photos of the base to his IRL friend, who is now known as Odpay. However, Lightning was unaware that Odpay was a 2b2t player himself and that he recognized the server IP. This kickstarted Odpay's introduction to BSB and eventually the grief of Avalysium later that month.

Uprising
In Early 2021, during a period of inactivity within BSB, Lightning would reach out to other communities in 2b2t mostly in an attempt to gain more recognition on the server. This is when he stumbled across the Infinity Incursion led by former BSB member BachiBachBach. Lightning participated in projects led by I.I. such as the Lava Wall Repair, and Operation Secret Void. Lightning also joined the I.I. building division basing at a couple of the group's bases, most notable being George Harbour. Through playing with I.I. members Lightning was able to gain a significant amount of relevance and befriended players such as Redstoner2b2t, Imswordking, Zeenyo, Preb2, Franknificant, Dcuz, Cirocdrip, Dcuz, Basementbob and Fuzzyrussian.

While moving materials for Wuhu Island in February 2021, Lightning stumbled across a base built by a group called the Lost Nomads, called Nomad Games 1, and it was quickly destroyed by BSB. This started a small tradition in BSB to find and grief all consecutive Lost Nomads bases, which was achieved using insiders and abusing Digandbuilder's permissions as a VIP guest. This led to a conflict between Lightning and the leader of the Lost Nomads, Silvereyes2b2t which fizzled out by the end of 2021

Using relevance gained through I.I., greifing with BSB, and playing with Digandbuilder, LightningB0lt44 was able to successfully recruit new members into BSB. Many of these new members would allow BSB to get more active and expand ties for insiding. Combined with iMems return to playing 2b2t, the group would have a short burst of fame when BSB griefed two significant bases back to back, being Monolith and Avalysium. After this drama, Lightning was aware that Odpay had been used and attempted to restore ties with him, which was successful.

Post Avalysium, Lightning became very good friends with Redstoner2b2t, who eventually leaked to him the Brownmen version of the extremely powerful nocom exploit called "dl" they would then use use the exploit to stream snipe Fit multiple times during June 2021. After nocom was leaked to the public and eventually patched, Lightning continued to get insider information about the whereabouts and happenings of the Brownmen, which is still ongoing as of November 2022. Lightning also briefly helped with work on the large 2b2t item shop known as Shulkerroad.

In August 2021, Lightning and iMems conceived a event style base known as Sperg Club which was a direct rip of the the Spawnmason base called Cloud Club. The premise of the base what that new members get added every day of the event until the base get griefed. It was situated less than 10k from spawn and ended up lasting over 3 weeks with 47 confirmed base members. The base led to some new recruits for BSB and a fun active community.

Throughout the rest of 2021, Lightning would continue to grief with BSB, as well as once again expand out to other groups in 2b2t. However due to a situation in real life, Lightning had mostly quit the server until May 2022.

Internal Drama
When he rejoined he quickly fell out with his replacement, Kokainer. Most BSB members sided with Kokainer which led to drama at a spawnbase Lightning had created in June. This led to lightning effectively leaving BSB's ranks for a short period to let things cool off. This allowed Lightning time to design a large solo base he would call ForΞvΞr, after a music album he liked. He would focus on building his base giving small updates to Digandbuilder every now and again. Lightning received support from the likes of Negative Entropy, Franknificant, digandbuilder and Eternal_Fin with large donations of materials required to build the base on the server. In August 2022, Lightning rejoined BSB in an attempt to rebuild the past relationship he had with the group. This mostly worked and Lightning ended up inviting friends, including to BSB members to the base. This led to the creation of some new builds and the stealing of the Shortbus Caliphate Mapart Built in 2016 by Joey Coconut, where ForΞvΞr acted as its new home. ForΞvΞr was greifed after Lightning streamed coords in a private vc that Kokainer was in. Unknown to Lightning, Kokainer was still upset with Lightning and ended up leaking the base to 1drw, and fiddlesticks98, It was griefed 3 weeks later and Kokainer was removed from BSB.

Present Day
As of November 2022, Lightning is still playing, and has since regained his high-ranking roles in BSB, achieved a partnership with the Fifth Column, and obtained a spot in the Brownmen as a contractor. He is currently basing at multiple bases with these groups and is participating in No Server November, the traditional event where the server is attacked with lag machines and other exploits.
