Vermontien: The Bullet Grinder of the Green Mountains

Some players dabble in bullet. Some players respect bullet. And then there is Vermontien, who appears to have made a lifestyle decision. From a humble start around 1783 in April 2025, Vermontien climbed to a peak of 2831 in under a year and a half, which in bullet terms is roughly the pace of a caffeinated mountain goat. Along the way, thousands of premoves were deployed, and presumably thousands of them were regrets.

The name suggests Vermont, and the playstyle confirms it: unflashy, resilient, and impossible to put away. Vermontien mounts a comeback in nearly 87 percent of games where things go wrong, meaning that dropping a piece is less of a tragedy and more of an opening statement.
