Baglady is the current Administrator of the Acheron Gaming SMP server.

The Story of Bag
They were dark times. Griefers ran rampid, users were helpless, and guests were forced to build in obscenely small spaces.

It is only natural that in the face of such dreadful circumstances that a hero would rise. A hero that would save the common builder from griefing; the plague that crushed the very soul of Minecraft.

That hero was by no means this guy.

The Beginning
While on youtube one day in early September (2010), Baglady came accrossed a Household Hacker review of a game called 'Minecraft'. Being the simpleton he was, Baglady made little immediate effort to try the game until a few weeks later.

TheFoxins Freebuild
Baglady joined Thefoxin's Freebuild on the 10 of October. He spawned in a ridiculously small space, and a MOTD displayed the following message: "Welcome to TheFoxin's Freebuild, Guests may build inside of the waterfalls." Baglady built a treehouse, and was soon promoted to builder by TheFoxin.

Builder
As a builder, Baglady made several odd structures. His favorite of which being a Cthulvian temple with an underground colluseum. Baglady was promoted to Advanced Builder by Dagger after making a rather large castle.

AdvBuilder
Baglady built a multitude of rather droll creations as an AdvBuilder. As a post-builder Baglady built a giant, floating dictionary containing over 30,000 bookshelves, and an extremely large Galaga pixel art which can probably still be seen on the pixel art map.

SMP: Alpha
Classic became rather boring so, Baglady, having already pirated, then bought minecraft Alpha, began to request an SMP server. It really didn't take much, as Polak seemed more than willing to make an SMP.

The first SMP map was a beach next to a rather hilly biome. There was a very limited set of SMP add-ons at the time. The server used a basic version of Bukkit (Bukkit didn't exist until Beta) called H-Mod, as well as RuneCraft.

Baglady applied, and was accepted as SMP's first Operator. The SMP changed little for the remainder of alpha, save for the map being changed to a Subterranian map for a brief period of time.

Mindcraft
The SMP progressed smoothly until the later stages of Alpha, when Thefoxin's teamed up with a server named MindCraft. This eventually caused leadership complications, and the two servers separated.

Faedine's SMP
Due to a major lack of organization, and the lack of a suitable server host, TheFoxin's server lay in shambles. Baglady, feeling as if there was little he could do to help, joined Faedine's SMP server. Faedine's was a heavy roleplay server. Baglady built a small home in a mountain, and didn't talk to anyone that much.

Beta 1.3
After the 1.3 update, Faedine switched to a temp map awaiting the update of H-Mod. H-mod never updated, and was soon replaced by Bukkit, and Canary. Bukkit released it's first stable build, and the map was changed back. But Baglady had already left to rejoin Acheron.

Mid-Beta
Faedine's server was disbanded shortly after the release of 1.4. Acheron wasn't doing much better, the maps changed once every 5 days, and the server was rather laggy.

AbsolutePolak resigned as SMP admin, and left the server to Baglady, who started a rather basic vanilla server.

After the release of Beta 1.5, Baglady added SDK's Gun mod to the server. And in latter 1.5, added Zmod, and Flan's planes.

Beta 1.7
When minecraft updated to 1.7, Polak returned, to run the server. The server mods were scrapped, and Polak added Bukkit, along with several plugins.

It wasn't long, however, before Polak began playing League of Legends, and was unable to host the server.

Canary
Baglady, now hosting the SMP, hated Bukkit with the fury of a thousand exploding Suns. And thus, added Canary Mod. The server did rather well though the rest of 1.7, and the majority of 1.8.

Factions
FlyingPhantom, a recently promoted op, suggested the addition of the Factions plugin. A team-based plugin that allowed players to form clans, and fight over territories. Factions was used all of the way through beta into early 1.0.0, even after FlyingPhantom left the server. Flan's planes and Guns were added to the server for a brief time, then removed. Factions was also removed by massive demand from the userbase.

Current
The server currently uses Bukkit and a (as Baglady would describe it) rather basic, cookie cutter, theme (as suggested by Chelliephant). Though, the server is still rather popular, with anywhere from 6-10 users on, on average.

Current-er
Fudged off and did other things with his life.
