Cactus the Bird

Cactus the Bird is the only resident of Yorkshire. He is known for helping on a lot of projects. He is responsible for developing most of the game's calculators and programming. He also had a rivalry with Quartz.

He is not to be confused with Mexican Cactus.

Appearance
Cactus had an iconic and recognisable pfp throughout his time in GS. The pfp, according to him, was from an early-20th century soap advertisement. A particular point of discussion was where the mouth, chin or mustache was located.

Persona
Most GS users had no issues with Cactus, and he was generally liked for being an unbiased elder mod and active developer of multiple games, as well as being a pretty cordial character as a whole. For this, he is considered part of the Cheggist pantheon. The only person who had any issue with him was Quartz, which after considerable research, I am yet to actually understand.

Gameplay
Cactus debuted in GS3 and took up Sweden. He went to war with Germany, and some tiny arguments happened around this.

In GS4, he took up the KMT and fought a proxy war in China against the French. This was a particularly interesting period as their rivalry took off during this time as he believed that Quartz was overpowered in events. Quartz generally reacted very angrily to these statements. Their rivalry only got worse in GS5, when the two pretty much bickered over who would be the head of the Union forces. He played as the UK again in GS6, and helped build up the Allies against the growing power of the Axis. His time in GS6 also screwed over relations with Quartz as he was in support of 1930s ISIS (I wish I was kidding) against the Kingdom of Iraq, which was backed by Quart. The processing of this war was mired in controversy, namely as ISIS or UK moves were often processed slower than Italian/Iraqi moves.

Following Chegg's resignation from leading GS6, Cactus was handed power over the community. He decided to end GS6 due to its crap mechanics and began work on GS7. He and Chegg were the main developers of the new game's mechanics, namely new production calculators. Unfortunately, the game would end quite quickly due to various reasons. First of all, two admins (Koe and Delta) quit in two weeks. Secondly, there was considerable disagreement over the rules, mainly how armies would be organised.

In GS8, Cactus played as the Uk once again. His playthrough was pretty passive and there isn't a whole lot to say. He did not participate in TLW.

Playstyle
Cactus tends to have an extremely relaxed playstyle or an aggressive one, though the main recipient of his latter playstyle tends to be Quartz.
