The 5 players you respect the most

[elfish_lad]

In the order of acquaintance...

ronc8649 - taught me team play (by yelling at me, heh)
Beckytheblondie - fine player and marsupial
Bruceswar - fine player (not a marsupial as far as I know)
Mr. C - great strategist
KH - on general principle

And a ton of fine random players that no one has heard of but with whom I team up late at night or fight against in The Pit from around the globe.

[safariguy5]

1. HighlanderAttack-gave me the crash course in Esc. Juggernaut and I've never looked back since.
2. Rocketry-gave me a chance to do my best on the clan scene.
3. Mr. Changsha-witty posts, absolutely surgical tactician.
4. Slowreactor-great chatter and all around nice guy.
5. Nagerous-heart and soul of AU, great poster, and a good player.

Also hold my clanmates and those at FOED in high regard.

[Mr Changsha]

5 players who have been taking me on since 2008...

Scholtz: Without a doubt my most feared standard opponent. Brilliant in gamechat, always polite but hard as nails. Best player I have ever seen at taking a shitty position, holding his lines and coming through late to be competitive at the end. A bit better than me at this element of the game.

Theldin: Much undervalued player, yet I don't know another flat/no cards player as good at joyously attacking, keeping the game moving, sometimes throwing himself to the very brink and yet being there for the final shake down. Always a must-have in my games due to his always intelligent attacking style.

Janetnick "Call me Nick". Manfully deals with the fact that every player he comes across calls him 'Janet' and yet always proves he is all man through a game. Better in standard than 8 man dubs, always on the edge of being annoyingly defensive through a long game, yet has the habit of goading me into action late through devious forms of flattery. I admire that kind of mind! Like the others on this list, builds his empire beautifully.

Agent 86 One of my friends here in Changsha. Currently a colonel, he spent a good 18 months scrabbling around the low officer ranks learning everything he could. All the maps, numerous styles, tons of experience. I don't rate him as a brilliant example of my particular style (though he is more than decent), but his overall play as a classic all-rounder has my deep respect.

Fruitcake Brilliant trips player. Simply stunningly cool at that style. Also excellent at all standard games played sequentially. Not to be discounted at dubs or quads either.

Finally a quick mention of my partners manwiththeplan and spoongod. Appallingly known as my 'multis' in some circles (due to their lack of any forum presence) they are a huge part of any teams success I have had (8 man dubs/trips) as I realise every time I try out new partners and almost always fail to win! Both quite capable of making 2000 points before 100 games and both very dangerous standard players (spoon at flat manwiththeplan at no cards).

Lot's of other players I respect...they know who they are as they are the ones that get the invites to my games!!!!

[Timminz]

Someone said my name, so I have to post here now.

My list includes:
BaldAdonis
benjikat (et al)

I can't think of any others who aren't playing anymore, although I'm sure there are some that I'm forgetting in my drunken state.

All the ones who would make the list, but are still active, get my respect in ways beyond shout-outs in these fora, and I wouldn't want to leave anyone out.

[Commander62890]

Non-clan, of course:

Ronc8649
Blitzaholic
King_Herpes
HighlanderAttack
Chariot of Fire



Oh, and by the way: Commander9 totally stole my name...

[JoshyBoy]

The top 5 players I respect the most are posted here.

AndyDufresne - by far the fairest, happiest, best mod out there.
Fortress - back in the day... what a player.
squishyg - I love her.
Blitzaholic - has seemingly devoted his life to CC.
GENERAL STONEHAM - one of the more controversial players CC has seen. Always makes me laugh, and good to play with or against.

Cheers, JB

[HighlanderAttack]

Thanks for the players who have mentioned my name. I would bet I come up on some for the player most hated as well Just ask monster10

Anyway, I will decline to post my most respected as there are too many to list and I would hate to leave someone out.

[amazzony]

I don't have a top 5 because there are so many players in the tournaments who deserve to be named but there's one guy who really deserves mentioning and it's ZionT. Reaching brigadier and just by (mostly) playing tournament games, this is awesome. Plus, he has a great personality and attitude towards the game.

[chipv]

No particular order (I'm excluding clanmates as sjnap, karelpieterje ,prismsaber and loes would be dead certs)

Timminz
BaldAdonis
sherkaner
ahunda
King Herpes

[Blitzaholic]

there is so many respect on cc,

AndyDufresne for all he does for cc and remaining impartial
Lindax for all his tournament work and fun personality
Kabanellas for his contribution to the map foundry, amazing art work and friendliness
Laughingcavalier for his assistance in newsletter involvement and for his kindness and maturity
Natascha for her spunk, competition and passion for cc history and charm
Jpcloet for his initiative to expand popularity of clans

retired: fireside poet-great person, fair and honest multi hunter, took care of many cheats I pm'd him privately about of the years to keep sites integrity

another 5 for game play outside of thota of course

Scott-Land
Sjnap
Bogangod
Chuuuuck
Chariot of Fire

retired: benjikat

and of course all in Thota not only because they are remarkable players, but persons as well.

5 closest to me are:

osujacket-my longest friend on here
big whiskey-one of the nicest and most competitive players you will ever come across
dividedbyzero-super player, but he is most kind + the most generous I have found on CC-wonderful person, big heart
nephilim-we go all the way together from 2006, liked him since the first time I met him, very loyal
incandenza-does the most for our clan as a whole, he is the glue that holds us all together

retired: david_wain-met in person (knew him the most), super guy and probably the best doubles player the site will ever have


I could mention so many more, there are literally dozens and dozens I respect and admire on CC, most of you know who I love and respect, all in Thota and many more outside it.

p.s. something should be said for johnnyrocket's, and highlanderattacks commitment and passion to the site.

[JoshyBoy]

It would be interesting to see a thread with the 5 players people respect the least. Unfortunately, Flame Wars no longer exists so we can't make such a thread.

Thank you for the love and respect everyone. Sincerest regards from Chico, California. You're all brave for limiting yourself to 5 players and, truthfully, I'm grateful for making any of your lists. There are a bunch of wonderful and respectable players on this site (and another bunch of twits) and I feel honoured to be compared to any of them. At risk of ostracizing anyone I will not create a list. You know if I respect you or not. If you're unsure, please PM me and make a paypal contribution to expedite my analysis.

Special note must be made to JR24, you know I hate you to death, but goddarn, I respect you like a beachcomber respects metallic objects.

Thanks for the honor, folks.

Chuuuuck, no thanks, you bum. After all I've done for you...

[nagerous]

It is tough to pick 5 but here is my selection:

Fruitcake great guy, great leader
General Mojo and team - never have I played before with people so organised
MeDeFe does an excellent job at running the off-topics forum, never seen such a well respected and universally liked mod before EDIT: apart from clapper of course
ga7 my idol
poo-maker best escalating player I've ever had the pleasure of playing against, always incredibly humble too

I think being 1 of 2 mentioned in his writing means I get respect, right?
