who this is
felix2072 writes it down, which is rarer around here than it sounds, and the rest of the time they are in the game. They land one at a time and step out of the way. They work a few corners of the cabinet rather than all of them, including corners that belong to other people. Some of what a player meets tonight came out of files they created, and LIVE CIRCUIT is out there waiting for everybody but them. They fly deep when they fly: wave 8 on their best evening. The ledger is blank on them. Either they are careful, or the referee is slow.

- 6files theirs
what they move
Every commit of theirs, versions and mentions alike, in the nine marks the book puts on a chapter. It is the one thing a count of landings cannot say: which part of the cabinet somebody keeps standing in.
- the game2
- the ui1
- the controls1
- the notes3
the ledger
- 0bends in the open
- neverthe last one bent
Nothing has been charged to them. The way past a budget is an override line written into the commit, which lands here the same evening; nobody edits this number, including the pilot it is about (GR12).
their books
VIbookv391 chaptergame
1 chapter, v39, all of it inside a day. 162 lines aboard and 0 jettisoned, across 3 sectors; it moved the game and the game within. 9 other things happened while it was being written.
IVbookv371 chaptergameuicontrolsnotes
1 chapter, v37, all of it inside a day. 189 lines aboard and 11 jettisoned, across 11 sectors; it moved the game, the ui, the controls and the notes. 4 other things happened while it was being written.
what a player meets
1 thing in the field guide came out of a file felix2072 created, and every one of them is still in the cabinet tonight.
- CIRCUITfieldThree rocks wire themselves together.src/entities/circuit.js
what they armed the room with
- LIVE CIRCUITTHREE ROCKS, WIRED TOGETHER, AND THE WIRE MEANS IT4 firings on the filed tapes, 2 ships taken
Armed against 
David Friedrich, 
Malte Buttjer, and never once against felix2072. That is GR11, which has no override on it.
what they flew
| # | score | wave | time | aim | the flight in one line |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 27430 | 8 | 6:45 | 18% | 20 kraken dead, three bombs spent, and plain rocks finished it at wave 8. |
| 8 | 14980 | 4 | 3:41 | 17% | Four ambushes walked through clear, six kraken dead, and wave 4 finished it with three deaths. |
The flight meter: 1 landing used since they last flew, and that flight was 2026-08-29 · 14980 · wave 4 · 3:41. One sealed tape covers three (GR14).
what it does to the others
- David Friedrichlanded in their work on 2 versions · they landed in this one on 1 version
Tuning somebody else’s numbers is allowed and costs a few lines; gutting their work is GR4 and costs an override. Which of the two happened is in the chapters, not in this count.
in their own words
- v39
felix2072 wired three asteroids into a triangle that kills on contact - shoot down any one corner to break the circuit, or outlast its twenty seconds. Testing it meant flying as GUEST, since their own trap would not so much as blink at them.
- v37
Felix gave the pilot flying solo a mouse to aim with - a neon reticle with its own comet trail, a dampened swing so the hull does not snap around, and a keyboard tap that hands the wheel straight back.
