* '''Theo "Pattern Oracle" Washington ([[Toroidal Cup]])''' - Statistical analyst and theoretical mathematician whose predictive models of pattern evolution were (and still are) considered the most accurate in the league. Routinely published algorithms the Solarpunks found effective so other teams could use them, defying specific instructions not to by management. Has survived several dozen kidnapping attempts by rival Golly syndicates and opposing teams, but has managed to escape each attempt through random dumb luck, and has remained unaware of all but 1 attempt.

* '''Dan Okra (co-captain, [[Rainbow Cup]], [[Klein Cup]])''' - The team's youngest member and pattern evolution prodigy. Built a 157-cell spaceship (the largest anyone had ever seen at the time) at the age of five. Developed three novel stable oscillators that revolutionized defensive play in the Golly League.

Dr. Bhatia's doctoral thesis on "Biokinetic Information Flows in Non-Hierarchical Decision Systems" created the backbone of a winning cellular automata program in Albuquerque that has revolutionized a franchise of revolutionaries and helped the Albuquerque Solarpunks build multiple dynasties. Dr. Bhatia survived several mid-season [[Defenestration]] attempts during [[Hellmouth II Cup]], and Dr. Bhatia was eventually vindicated by winning back-to-back championships in [[Hellmouth II/Season 7]] and [[Hellmouth II/Season 8]], and a dynasty in [[Hellmouth/Season 14]]. Dr. Bhatia led the team to a second dynasty in the [[Hellmouth III Cup]], and a third dynasty in the [[Hellmouth IV Cup]]. Considered captain-for-life.

The ABQ.png Albuquerque Solarpunks (The Punks) are a Golly team from Albuquerque, New Mexico. They joined the league in Season 16 of the Hellmouth Cup.

Like the VV.png Vegas Vampires , the Solarpunks are time travelers; their club was founded in 2083 (in a parallel universe) by a group of federated anarcho-collectivist commune-syndicates. The club became stranded when they traveled back in time, not only traveling further back in the past than intended, but also traveling to a past parallel universe where they had not studied time travel in college but instead dropped out and became a Golly sports team.

When the team realized they'd been stranded in time in a stub universe, they decided to embrace their new vocation, and began to spread their Solarpunk philosophy, gaining mainstream prominence that would eventually lead to their future disbanding in 2083 (the present reality, as opposed to the parallel universe where they founded in 2083).

During their first few seasons, the team was initially funded through a community picogrant micronetwork system, rejecting traditional methods of bankrolling a Golly team in favor of picotransactions on the hyperchain micronetwork (transactions that are thousands of times smaller than microtransactions). This approach was expensive and nearly bankrupted the team due to throughput issues (it took on average 2 hours and 15 million transactions to purchase a hot dog at the Solarpunks' stadium).

Team Character

The Solarpunks are deeply committed idealists. They continually challenge the status quo and have a long history of anti-establishmentarianism.

Skeptical to a fault, the Solarpunks also have deep expertise in political theory, systems of government, and the psychology of politics, which they can discuss at great lengths in order to fill dead air or hypnotize bystanders who happen to be listening.

Solarpunks have a deep desire to appear invincible to others, sometimes driving them to callousness. At the advice of their therapist they have begun to cultivate their own humility and humanity by volunteering at an ant colony rehabilitation center, where their favorite activity is feeding large globs of peanut butter to famished ants.

Team decisions are made through a modified consensus protocol that they call "Rhizomatic Democracy," an exhaustively-documented system involving multiple rounds of RFCs, public forums, discussions, memoranda, and feedback rounds. The Solarpunks have documented "Rhizomatic Democracy" extensively, openly sharing their documentation with other organizations looking to escape hierarchical decision-making structures. Their commitment to horizontal organization often leads to chaotic and lengthy team strategy sessions, wide-scale confusion about player and coach roles, and long, drawn-out time-outs in which dozens of huddles must take place. This leads to much frustration and anger during the Solarpunks' away matches.

The Solarpunks' headquarters, known as "The Greenhouse," is a carbon-negative living building that generates 150% of its energy needs through an array of transparent photovoltaic surfaces. The structure is a working model of the team's cellular automata principles, with rooms that reconfigure based on air circulation driven by a natural convection channel built into the center of the building.
