Secret Info
BD a.k.a. "BLooD DaG" found QW when his village in Canada was visited by an Indian Call Center Worker long ago. The Indian taught BD many things about QuakeWorld, including how to start it and set up his own binds. BD was immediately impressed by being able to change his top & bottom colors.
After binding mouse3 to +forward and every key on his keyboard to "get ra", he set out to conquer CTF but could not compete with Ult.
BLooD_DoG was initially feared in the community not for his skills, but for his asking players "wanna grapple?" when they didn't know what he really meant was "wanna play CTF?". Confusing his enemies has always been a popular tactic with BLooD_DoG(D_P) and to this very day, BD continues this tradition in TDM with his special BD-TDM rules.
Why is this guy who is into DP'ing asking me to grapple?— Anonymous (probably ULT)
ruleset blood_dog
Playing with BD in a 4v4 or 2v2 match instantly changes the rules of the game. It can be a challenge to find ways to win against him unless you are aware of all the differences between normal TDM and BD-TDM.
Here are some (only a few) of the rules as explained by BLooD_DoG himself:
last ra wins— BLooD_DoG often points out victories such as this at the end of a match
i got most damage :p— damage can be (but isn't always) more important than frags in BD-TDM
last health pack wins— BLooD_DoG bends the rules of 2v2 to his liking
PHonE_DoG(D_P)
BD is always on the telephone whenever he plays QW, usually talking to his girlfriend or contributing news to major television networks. He has been known to call up his opponents after a match in order to explain to them that he won, and sometimes he calls zeeshan during games in order to ask for QW advice.
One time during an EQL match, BD received a phone call from The Prime Minister of Canada who offered to ghost for him over QTV, but BD explained to The Prime Minister that QTV is lagged to prevent ghosting. The Prime Minister of Canada & BD are now very good friends and they organize parades together.
BD's QW Config
BLooD_DoG(D_P) is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Because of his position, he is granted certain priviledges which he abuses. One of those priviledges is his power to control a team of expert MIT researchers, whom he has coordinated with to create one of the best QW configs ever to exist.
BLooD_DoG(D_P) and his team of MIT researchers have created scientific algorithms to help create what has come to be called the BD Quake Config.
The BD Quake Config is a configuration which many believe grants BLooD_DoG greater power in the game of QuakeWorld. Using the middle mouse button (mouse3) as +forward allows BD to accomplish tricks that nobody else can do (except cream), and it frees up keys on his keyboard so that he can bind all of them to get ra.
The mushy keys of a laptop do not bother BLooD_DoG when he plays Quake, because none of them are useful. BD accomplishes everything in CTF & TDM & 1v1 by using his mouse and his MIT sponsored QW config.

BLooD DoG as a Reaper Bot
BD's behavior is so predictable that it has been rumored that he is nothing more than a modified level 1 reaper bot. The story goes that many years ago a group of very powerful and arrogant individuals conspired to create a fictional character that would fool the community into thinking was an actual person. Players would fraternize and jest with this character during games and, over the course of several years, become accustomed to his presence.
Initially, there were attempts to expand the various gameplay characteristics of the bot, such as giving it the ability to rocket jump and bunny hop. However, these features never made it past the early alpha stages of development, as focus shifted more to "personality" improvements.
Developers knew from previous failures that bubbly and excited expressions like "Nice Shot, Man!" would not be perceived as authentic human responses. On the other hand, an aggressive personality, though more believable, wouldn't be tolerated very long by the community, especially with admins like Rusty (also fake) running half the servers in North America with an iron fist.
Instead, the developers opted to give BLooD_DoG(D_P) a personality that could only be described as "defensive." His cleverly scripted retorts are almost likable when compared to his overzealous use of the /list command. The net result is a personality of somewhat neutral likability.
The BLooD DoG bot's "personality logic" has been carefully reverse engineered, and you can now peer into the "mind" of this ancient wise-cracking douchebag:
