Captain_Pollution is quite a guy, he's got a lot of experience under his belt, and a lot of experience below his belt. He will blow you away, if you give him the chance. He was in the 2009 Forum Battle, but lost in his first match. He doesn't post very much on the forums, but is far and away the most active member in the IRC room, and spends aload of time there. He blames this on Hacker. Read on to learn more, young follower!

He has been reading the site since 2005, reading the forums since 2006, a member of the forums since September 23rd 2007, and an IRC chatter since January 2009. Due to his habits of not sleeping and an increase of IRC-trolling, he was promoted to op in August, 2010.

Fig is well known for changing his name frequently, in the IRC. When he joined the forums in 2007, he was Bobashotmace, and this is the name he first joined the IRC with. After only a short while there, though, he changed his name to Captain_Pollution. Not knowing that name changes would become a monthly thing for him, he had his name changed to Captain_Pollution on the forums, as well, and that his the name he still uses there, today. Regardless of what name he is currently using, those who know him call him Fig. When asked if he plans to change his name to FigNewton on the forums, he has said that he doesn't plan to, as he likes having a formal name and a more informal name, too. It also probably has something to do with IRC pride, as well.
  
Captain_Pollution goes by many names. On the forums he once went by Bobashotmace, but he's dead now. On the IRC room he goes by Captain_Pollution, Bobashotmace, Bobshot, Scotch_Whisky, Doctor_Owns-a-Lot, PepsiCola, FigNewton, Dude_Love, Rocket_Raccoon, Boris_Pasternak, and Tofurkey. Most of the time he uses some variation of the FigNewton name, and all his friends call him Fig, regardless of what name he's using. If you see him as Boris_Pasternak, that means he's using the Comic Chat, and he uses PepsiHiding as his away nick. He changed his name to Captain_Pollution on the forums due to a trivia question to which the answer was Captain Pollution. This made him laugh. He then added an underscore, changed his name, and a legend was born. Also, he digs it when people call him "Cap".

*The first tape he ever bought was The Tragically Hip's Fully Completely. Since you are all mostly Americans, he assumes you haven't heard of them (Except SoldierHawk). To remedy this, he recommends you go listen to them. Fully Completely is his favorite album of theirs, most people's is Road Apples, though. His favorite song of theirs is "Poets".

Captain_Pollution is an IRC op and forum member from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He has been reading the site since 2005, reading the forums since 2006, a member of the forums since September 23rd 2007, and an IRC chatter since January 2009. Due to his habits of not sleeping and an increase of IRC-trolling, he was promoted to op in August, 2010.

Names

Fig is well known for changing his name frequently, in the IRC. When he joined the forums in 2007, he was Bobashotmace, and this is the name he first joined the IRC with. After only a short while there, though, he changed his name to Captain_Pollution. Not knowing that name changes would become a monthly thing for him, he had his name changed to Captain_Pollution on the forums, as well, and that his the name he still uses there, today. Regardless of what name he is currently using, those who know him call him Fig. When asked if he plans to change his name to FigNewton on the forums, he has said that he doesn't plan to, as he likes having a formal name and a more informal name, too. It also probably has something to do with IRC pride, as well.

In the IRC, some of the most notable names he's used are PepsiCola, Scotch_Whisky, Dude_Love, Tofurkey, Lapin_Plein, and Presortsy.

Voice

Fig is also known for his fondness of voice, or +v mode on IRC. If a user is set as +v, they are allowed to speak when the room is set to +m (A mode that makes it so no one except those with voice or ops can speak), or when they are banned (Banned users cannot enter the room, but if they are banned while they are in the room, and they have voice or ops, they can speak as long as they stay in the room). As the room is rarely set to +m, and users are rarely banned, +v's primary function is as a sort of cookie to be handed out to users whenever an op decides to do so. It grants them no power or authority, but some people still like it, for whatever reason. Early in 2009, Fig was the first person to get really excited over voice, and as such was the first in a long line of people to be granted autovoice. Autovoice means that whenever a user enters #sydlexia, Lexy will grant them voice. It's handed out to some respected regulars, but as it looks crowded when more than four or so people are voiced at a time, most respected regulars go without. As such, it doesn't really mean anything, but it's still fun.
