HHW History
Sassmaster found HHW after Googling forecasts for the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season. He then came across an article made by Bobnekaro and soon registered on December 21, 2015. He finished his first season a day later and was met with a warm welcome from the community. He earned autopatrolled status two days later on Christmas Eve, followed by Chat Moderator status on January 14, 2016. Sassmaster spent four days as a Moderator prior to being promoted to rollback on January 18. Sassmaster then became a Junior Administrator on February 7. He spent less than a month as a JA, as Eldest Bureaucrat Hypercane offered him an Administrator position on February 25, which he later earned the following day. Sassmaster then became a Bureaucrat on April 21, alongside Bobnekaro, to which he still retains to this day. Until the promotion of StrawberryMaster on June 13, Sassmaster was HHW's most recent Bureaucrat promotion. On September 11, 2016, he demoted himself from bureaucrat and retired from HHW the next day. However, within weeks, he returned and resumed service as a Bureaucrat. His second term as bureaucrat abruptly ended on March 5, 2017 when he resigned from the position. Sassmaster made another brief return to the wiki in mid-August of 2018, before later retiring in December and coming out of said retirement in July of 2019.

After regaining chat moderator rights later that year, Sassmaster stepped down as chat moderator and retired once again in March 2020. On June 24, 2021, Sassmaster returned to HHW as an administrator. This marked the first time he was an administrator since March 2017.

Personality
Sassmaster is known on HHW as being outspoken and true to his values. He often involved himself in any situation, regardless of whether the additional interference was needed. He holds true to his beliefs and is unafraid to take sides and antagonize people in the process. He is very open about his life, interests, personal experiences, preferences, beliefs, and hobbies (ask me, anything, btw :D).

He is able to start controversy and knows it. He can be rude and knows it. He is biased and knows it. He likes to show off. In his opinion, he likes equate this to being a "crusty, old Harvard professor". Sassmaster will tell you his opinion whether you want it or not. He will internally judge you on your opinions and debate with you if he doesn't agree with them.

He is a firm believer of tough love. He occasionally refuses to help others and give guidance because he believes people are capable of figuring things out for themselves. He doesn't like when people are babied, and also loathes when people think life will just hand them everything. He holds to the philosophy "with hard work, anything is possible". He believes that everything in life - from material possessions to wealth to grades to promotions to status - is earned. He does prefer certain people over others.

In his mind, you may not be at the top, and you may never will. It all goes back to the "it's a part of life" thing. And that's because it is. He will tell you like it is. He will tell you things that are hard to hear. He will say and do some controversial stuff. He is not an altruist and believes in taking care of himself before others. He is selfish. He is indulgent. And he's okay with all his flaws, because he knows he will never change. He is who he is - God made him that way - and no one can change it.
