Biography of Nation Don #27: bigpapav2 DawnButterfly
Late Tuesday evening I had a chance to have a sit down chat with the man behind the account. Many of the questions I asked where basic and to the point questions. The following article is the biography I wrote of our 27th Nation Don bigpapav2.

Bigpapav2 is a 31 year old man from Georgia, USA. He began playing this game approximately one year ago. He is proof of how game updates can keep a player who loves the game involved. He told me in the interview that he was going to quit playing bootleggers for good around the time that the Ipod giveaway occurred. He decided to stick around and play the event. After spending 2,000 points in bullets, he played the event and eventually ranked to Respectable Don. Once he reached Respectable Don, he felt incomplete if he'd quit now, never have reaching Legendary Don. So, on he played. Once he made Legendary Don he had several friends that played the game as well. He stayed on to help them be successful and enjoy the game. Eventually, he finally made the rank of Michigan’s State Don. Like he did when he made Respectable Don, he refused to quit without attempting to make the rank of Nation Don. He had his opportunity late Monday night when Souljah, the #26 Nation Don, was killed. Early Tuesday morning, at 12:03 A.M. (he remembers the exact time because he took a screen shot of the bootmail), he received his notification that he had been promoted to Nation Don.

I asked him to name one thing he'd do if he was BSF2000 for one day. He promptly answered to focus on the bugs. He is a programmer. He knows how hard it is to track down the computer bugs. He does, however; feel that there are some known issues that need to be fixed.

Now that bigpapav2 reached the peak of what the game has to offer, he's pretty much through with playing this game. "I'm expecting to be dead in like 7 days or so. I'll come back to hang out and chat with friends, but right now I have no plans on ranking again." Maybe his plans will change, but he seems to have his ideas and his future on bootleggers pretty thought through. He gave no comment on what he's going to do while he is the Nation Don. I'm sure he'll find something to do to entertain himself while he's at the top of the world!

“Some advice I’d give to lower ranked players who are trying to make it to where I am now are simple. Play the game, do the crimes, GTAs, and the booze runs. There are a lot of great people on this game that will help you with an Organized Crime; but if you’re a Scum after 2 months, why should they? Also, remember it is just a game, and if you die, start over. Finally, I would like to thank everyone that helped me get here and the friends that stuck with me when my last account was killed. I would like to thank my bodyguards. Those guys are great!Of course, I’d also like to thank my real life wife, LittleMissSunshine.” -bigpapav2
