why dwell on the old days!?
Why dwell on the old days? Maybe because the game isn't worth playing anymore and anything done in the last couple of years is basically irrelevant. Who cares who wins a round with only a couple of semi-competent alliances and a couple of hundred players (at most).
I have played every round since 18 and I still feel like I missed this game in its prime. It has been on a steady decline since before I started.
Shadowstrike was a decent player, Garrett, but I was never massively impressed with him. Possibly because he rage quit from my alliance when i replaced a girl he had a crush on or some nonsense. I think she was called Moon? And besides that, he wasn't much of a team player.
As to my own nominations...it's hard to narrow it down to just five considering how many good players there have been over the years, but this is my top 5 and a few others:
Martini - Probably the only player in the game I'm happy to follow without question.
BlackWolf - Snakes CAN eat people. Admit it. The game just hasn't been the same without his insanity.
Polo schmolo - Doesn't really need any endorsement from me. His game history speaks for itself.
DarkSider - Activity, dedication and a vast army of TLs will get you far in this game.
Twignoobfagtard - This list just wouldn't be right without him and his tiny, tiny penis.
And a few other honourable mentions: Garrett, Darryl, aGit, f0xx, Silence, Podiddle and god knows how many others I can't think of right now.
