Topic: Hall of Fame all time opponents

[Max Power]

Hydran:

1. WildWeasel
2. PeetieTwo
3. Marcus
(All three are/were able to perform magic in this race.)

Very good. Though Marcus says that Peetie was the best that was, so I'd put him first.

[Corbomite]

I'm glad to see so many remember me and that some even remembered I don't only fly ISC. Looks like I'll have to fly under my own name more when I fly other races on the D2 

I can't give a list by race. I have fought so many people between Mplayer, GSA and the D2 I can hardly keep them straight anymore. All I can give you is a list of people who have impressed me in one way or another. There are many I could name that I know are good, but have never fought so this is not a "best" ranking.


Junkit iCop - Flew with him before he joined iCop, best damn wingman ever. We had a maneuver that you could patent, but I've never been able to find anyone else that could do it like him.

GT - Marcus - Only fought him a few times, never beat him.

Alsee - Same as Marcus, but I nearly beat him once.

Megafortress - A terrific all around pilot. I always hate when he is on the other side and am happy when he's on my team.

Captain Kirk iCop - Every time I met a player named Captain Kirk on Mplayer/GSA they sucked balls. I used to make a habit of killing them first in the most embarrassing way I could everytime one showed up. It was my hobby. One day Captain Kirk iCop stumbles in and I finally met one that deserved to take the name.

Die Hard - Can give or take orders equally well. Has that intuitive fighting style that allows him to know what to do and when to do it.

Direwolf - Taught me everything I needed to know about flying ISC (or any race for that ,matter) in one afternoon of sessions I watched what he did as he beat me all afternoon. By the end I had learned enough that by our next encounter I beat him every time. He was surprised and kicked it up a notch himself and we both got better for it. A very calculating and deft pilot.

Autolycus - Best damn time I ever had playing this game. Auto was just plain hilarious and a damn fine pilot!

DC Walleye - You don't even need voice comms with this guy, that's how good he is at team play.

Literally dozens of pilots on Mplayer (who's names I can't remember) before the D2 when there were 350 people on and fifty rooms to choose from. We had incredible battles too many to remember or list.

[alfman]

How did I make so many lists? There are at least 3 Gorn players still around that are better than me! Lots more is you count all-time lists. I remmeber playing on Mpig and being called 'that Crazy Gorn' , not ' He's a good pilot". Under a recent poll I came out better than Hexx, so there was some improvement. But to be included on so many peoples all time best Gorn pilots list makes me blush.

[Astarte]

I don't play.  (Can't get the moving and shooting thing down.  I keep J'inning myself).  But most of you I have heard of.

I can tell you that there are some of you that FireSoul has come out of a fight and been really impressed.  He's actually told me about some of them too!

Sometimes I watch.  The plasmas are so purr-ty.

If FS ever starts humming christmas carols over teamspeak, just run..

He's been doing that since he was in iCoP.

Good luck to you all!  I look forward to watching and hearing about the campaign!

Gwarlock
           

[Tripwire]

It's so hard to remember all the people that have come and gone. I'm sure there's other names I should remember too.

Fed
John Vaughn (Beat him one time before he knew about Lyrans, after that, he KNEW, and I never came close again.)
Laflin (Mr Escort)
TraceyG

Klingon
SkullnBonez
Any KBF

Gorn
Gwarlock

Mirak
Chuut Ritt
Matsukasi
Fluf
Hades
Fur-ocious
J'inn
(More Mirak on the list because I always went chasing them more than others.)

Romulan
Cleaven

Hydran
I hate Hydrans.  They all killed me.

Lyran (Most enjoyable wingmen)
Sten
Laflin (Don't get a big head though, just because you made the list twice.)
Hexx
Hathor/Wendigo (From the old days, Hehe)

In particular, my best times in PvP have been the battles with Chuut and Gwarlock, we always seemed to be in a dead heat in our battles. So they would get my nod as the top two for me.

[FireSoul]

I haven't really posted yet, here.. because I really didnt know how to approach it: ALL PvP was a challenge. However, there are a select few who've given me plenty of troubles.

My honorable mentions.. These are all recent since my being on the D2 is recent compared to many:

DM6: for always being there, munching at hexes, at the weeee hours of the morning.
DH: For flying some of the best starclastling I've seen..
Corbo and Dogmatix: when they flew ISC on SS2.. they were a major pain together in their CCZs..
Bear and 762: recently stomping around in DNs.. what WAS that. Are you guys gonna fly something smaller so that I can take you on within tolerable limits?
Fluf: tenacity. For the long long games we had.

Well. The list will grow, I am sure.
This time I'm flying Klingon, so I hope I can make a name for myself in other races than Lyran.

[GE-Raven]

Well I will start from pure memory and reserve the right to edit as I remember more.

Fed - Give me time on this one.

Klink - Jedi
         Seki

Rom - Novae used to give me fits (Seems somone forgot to tell him that the ol Eagle was outclassed by a G -CDD)

Lyran - Aragorn (hands down)
           Moggy gets and Honorable Mention here although he can fly anything well.

Hydran - Peetie and GZ (Mr. Hydran)

Gorn - Ssazzix (in a class by himself)
          Lots of other Honorable mentions...

ISC - Captain Kirk (One series made me come to hate the ISC)

Mirak - Have to think about this one as well...

Best guy I can think of as a "Fly anything" type is probably Golem.  Never saw a race he couldn't fly well...

GE-Raven

[Mog]

I miss Golem and Polarbear/Galadriel a lot. Never did manage to persuade them to try D2 One of my favourite games with Gal as wingwoman was v Kreug and Saxon in the CB-MOK War. Classic hour long battle.

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

After that post I know who tripwire is..........

Damn, good to see you back!

[KBFLordKrueg]

I miss Golem and Polarbear/Galadriel a lot. Never did manage to persuade them to try D2 One of my favourite games with Gal as wingwoman was v Kreug and Saxon in the CB-MOK War. Classic hour long battle.

Wow, you are that Mog?  <S> I remember many of the battles during the "War" with CB. I thnk the longest one was almost 2 hrs in a 3v3.
And, MoK won, as I recall...
Some awesome battles in that series. Almost as Glorious as the Great War vs 3rd Fleet.

[FPF-Tobin Dax]

Golem has been hanging around SFC3 the last month or so.

Yup, was me. And yes MOK did win, eventually. I was up till 10am trying to beat the remainder of you guys by myself, after the rest of CB had either been knocked out or went to bed. Lost in the final 130 mid game; if I'd gotten past that, it left the 2 good Gorn BPVs . Was so close, and good fun.

[Hexx]

Hmmm so I actuallt got a vote for most enjoyable wingman and one from Gwar for Lyran... but only with a PF of 4.
-Now I *think* I know who Trip is... but what's up with Gwar?
Must be getting soft in his old age...

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

Chuut - come on leaps and bounds since we first met

Well, I'd have to say you had alot to do with that Moggy.....

along with KATs Hades and Furocious KOTHs Matsukasi and Maverick GT Marcus Smythe and a few ideas from elsewhere as well.

[Leto Atreides]

this seems as good a thread as any to begin my socializing here... 

For those of you that don't know me... i go by many names, the most famous being Hathor, Wendigo, and my current alias

here's my list...

Feds-  Ghis and John Vaughn

Klingons- Lords Saxon and Krueg and pretty much any KBF

Hydrans-  Bearslayer, Chris Lee, 762, dm6

Lyrans-  Kzinbane, myself, Croup

Gorn-  Kroma, Scipio, Gwarlock

Kzin-  most of the KOTH fleet w/ honorable mention to Fluf

Rom-  all of SPQR if they exist

ISC-  Pharoah, Blade, Corbomite

[Green]

I can't come up with a all time best-opponents list, because there have been too many.

I'm a mid-skill player at best.  All of the players I beat are now saying either "Crap", "He had a better ship", or "He got lucky".  Any of those responses would be accurate.   

For all the players I lost to (long list), they are now saying "Duh, he's a mid-skill pilot on a good day".


No matter the response ... I really enjoy the game and enjoy conversing with all of the players here.  I hope D2 sticks around for a long, long time.

[SPQRPardek]

WOOT im on someones list and its not the usuall one ! lets see my list

Klink. most times on the same side, KBF guys all are skilled warriors!
       

Feds.   Hippo in a CVA, he was really tough.
          DH aways a good battle.
          Gris also very tough.

ISC. Blade, Hjets, Ming, really hard to beat...long battles.
 
Mirak. Fluf in a CVA , god he was always a thorn in my side 
         any of the KOTH/KAT bunch can be dangerous!

Lyran. dont usually come up against Lyrans, but much respect to those that fly em
 
Gorn. Gwarlock,Agave, Doc,  and a real pain Kroma.. always long hard battles ..

Hydran. ChrisLee,Dopler, Deadman, god i hate to go up against these guys!

Rom. Swoopinghawk, Cleaven, much better than I, wouldnt want to face em in battle



       

[KBF-Dogmatix_XC]

I'm glad to see so many remember me and that some even remembered I don't only fly ISC. Looks like I'll have to fly under my own name more when I fly other races on the D2 


<snip>

I just put ya there because you flew that (seemingly) a lot for a while.  Since you fly lots of races and fly them well, you're another one that could go just about anywhere, but for the purposes of this exercise, you had to go somewhere...heheh.

[FireSoul]

2. FireSoul  (I really dread flying against this guy.  He's tenacious and makes few mistakes)

That's one hell of compliment, Doggy.
I'm flying coalition for the entire GW series of servers, which means I'll be a klingon this time. I am looking towards flying with you, hopefully as wingmen for a few times.
