Vote for your #1 hall of famer. Don't see your top player listed? Write them in. I tried to add someone from every aspect of the game. I didn't add some players named in the last poll because 40 poll options is the max limit and I took out a lot of the players I've never heard of and players that are really cool, but no way near the greatest of all time. Granted, I haven't been playing Gothador since 2004 like some, but I do know who most of the top players throughout the game have been. Everyone deserves their shot at being nominated but you are crazy if you think that Gotweed, Jennison, and Chunkymonkey belong on the same poll as Morbidprogny, GmbH, and Sephidroth. Honorable mentions are welcome too. I had almost 150 players at first and it was tough to get it down to 40. It would be helpful if you'd say who you voted for and why. Try to vote only once to preserve the integrity of the poll. Some people do vote more than once with alts, so if somebody has a crazy amount of votes, that might be the case.

I vote for GmbH. He was #1 in just about everything you could be, and all at the same time! Ranked player, mage, pvp, top cult owner. He prob sold his char for the most money. He'd always be the first to finish new quests too. I modeled my char after his as well. Hails G

there isnt one, you cant just name one person the greatest because without the rest of their contemporaries they would just be another vanilla face

Perhaps, but you can vote for the player who stands out the most for you, for whatever reason.

[Skallagrime]

no, no I cant, for exactly the reason i stated above, Boogie would never have been great without Rev to be his counter, Andor never would have gotten half so far without the help of his cult mates.
Sniper would never have been great without carlitos corinthian and bayer to put up a trading fight.

while I don't disagree a good many of the names are greats, there is not a single one that did it on their own or would be great in and of themselves

(unless you call taking cash and pouring it down your personal compensation the paragon to which we all ought to aspire, in which case someone like seph would be a perfect example of "greatest")

you ARE a vanilla face , have you seen your avatar?.....im voted for pacman

Fine, so there is no one player in the entire history of this game that has made a difference for you personally, that helped you most, that made you feel welcome, that did something special for you, that helped make this game more enjoyable for you?

to answer the question directly no not really its a tie amongst about 5 if i had to pin it down

I voted for BurtonX, as I previously said I would in the other thread...

He was one of the first players I interacted with here, aside from those I followed over from RBC {a vampire game for those who aren't aware that I've personally been playing for *gasp* somewhere around 10 years}... He came off as a hard-ass {can I say hard-ass?} to most people, but he was really really helpful behind the facade... and I'm sure most people had that same experience with other players, but it was part of the reason I chose to stay here and play...

Ah! Thank you, that's a fair answer to my question.

[AizenVicious]

I'd have to go with capadocious (old school but held top spot for a long time when tons of people played), gmbh (strong enough to send anybody running and was untouchable for a long time), and morbidprogny (whom as a warrior gave me something to strive for; I actually started by building my character to resemble his stats)

It's impossible to pick just one unless there are specific ground rules to judge what areas constitute the "greatest" player. I've made my decisions based on players that dominated the field during their times in the top spot.

PS - What about Lucy (as insatiable liked to call him)?

[lasciel]

Oh memories...I cast my vote for Blanchas, purely because he did what was right for the game, not what was right for himself. In a time when everyone was well and truly out for themselves, it took a serious set to step up and openly back people that were your rivals into getting equality in their equipment and classes. also, who could forget his Dell spell that blew SephD's mind? buwhahaha.

I know that might be a surprising choice coming from me all things considered, but he's awesome. uber cool guy outside the game to boot.

Other highlights and fun memories:

Anonymity (the OG one): that guy was such an ass outside the game AND inside the game, but god he was fun to be around. he'd smear you across the DF and somehow manage to make you laugh about it. the original "holocaust" spell was aaall him.

Kearn and Insatiable: if you've EVER created a messed up, insulting, funny or dirty spell you have these two sick screwheads to thank for it. between Insat's sister and Kearn's dog, this game took a massive bent down a retarded yellow brick road. every now and again Kearn will drop by a warp gate and give you some sugar...

The Entire Servants of Loki cult: when us douchebags and baguettes of the game got bored, our entertainment was bums-rushing their cult square and breaking into it using the world boundary vs cult square paradox that existed a few years back. we used to drop lint and wine and crap in their cult square to dirty up the place so badly it would lag like hell and Hoof would have to clean the square so that they could recall

Really, I love the fights. when your AP was done, the forum was where you could go to keep stirring up trouble. with that in mind, I have to give MAD PROPS to my best sparring partners and nemesis (nemesi?) on the forum that made this game absolutely hilarious and so much fun:

Andalyn, Senzine, Corinthian, SkallaBUNNY, Marv, GrandMasterC, Sniper, SpringBreeze, Moirai, UriahHeap and the one that used to annoy me the most, Niflheim.

Well if his name were up there I'd vote Nississa. The origonal player was one of the best at giving and being very competitive. He helped nubes all the time giving away stuff more than selling it. He often helped other cults buy upgrades for their cs. I hated to see him quit. I like many others on the list but one thing stands out they either quit or quit and came back after a long time. Here's to the fallen! Cheers
