History
Alex joined BMW in early January of 2016, but was a rare contributor and ever rarer participant in video games, by his recollection, never even playing Rust, despite joining during its heyday. At the time, BMW brass discouraged Alex from being kept in the loop, out of their fear he would try and snipe an SA thread for potential BMW games. However, as Conan Exiles rolled around a year later, his activity within the group increased, as his former modship in SA Discord began to wane due to the servers tanking popularity. Conan would end miserably, but Alex would remain active in BMW.
His transition into the big time of the group would come during Destiny 2, when he acted as a leader and co-raid leader and sometimes Goon clan liaison. Destiny would also fail, however. Finally, in July 2018, after the Wonka Uprising, Alex stepped forward to begin helping to reform WTT, which his idea of weekly game nights, specifically Garrys Mod TTT.
When Taylor made the decision to abdicate as leader of WTT, Alex was his first pick to co-lead the group, along with Peaches. The duo was originally envisioned to be the perfect pairing of game leadership and social leadership, respectively. However, due to misunderstandings, infighting, and The Sauce Affair, the vision didnt pan out, and Peaches would resign in early May of 2019, leaving Alex the sole leader. Regardless, Alex stepped up and brought about a new Golden Age to WTT.
