TAO Hall of Fame Nominees

[DARKSMILE]

OK, Tactics Arena has been around since November 2003. We have seen a lot of GREAT players come and go. I think it is time to recognize the great TAO players from our past.

So post who you think deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame.

[Jeffery]

Is this game, forum, or both?

[DARKSMILE]

Is this game, forum, or both?
Game and forum.

[Hatchet Warrior]

I think it is for both. I would say either Lord Ducki or Tccb

[Warcow]

*Nominates Aro23r and LondonJack*

[Jeffery]

I will nominate:

DivineRight- The People Admin category
Snarr- The mod who never knew when to quit.
Twelve- Driving force behind Netjak, and one heck of a nice jerk.

[Moose]

Technically this game has been around since the end of Oct.2003 but we won't get into that.

Yes, but seeing as this is not now nor ever has been legends, their players don't matter when discussing players for here, unless they have played here. And then it is their actions here in these servers and forums thagt matter.

Usually forums are just a way of showing off, the gameplay usually determines the players, if typing text here counts for gameplay then, wouldn't you be the best player jeff?


And considering he just said TAO, that means everything related to TAO, so legends counts does it not?

No, just the most prolific.

And this is not a "best player" thread. This is a best person thread. Gameplay is only part of what makes a person worth being nominated. How they interacted with others counts for just as much.

notice how it's more of a "dedicated veteran" page, it doesn't mean that the players have beaten the best players, just played the most, however i'm not interested in your views, i've submitted my view and ur sadistic opinion is ur own of course but carries very little weight with me


Cheers!


Moosey

[Realist]

Sadistic?

[DARKSMILE]

Sadistic?
lol :confused:

[ArcPaladinZero]

There's a lot of people that deserve to be on that list. Just about anyone that's been here since 2003 deserves an honorable mention. There's those that have been solely dedicated to the game and those just to the forum. There are also those that dedicate their time to both. It's amazing just to think how this place has kept people stuck to it.

[actgfin1234]

I nominate Sir Vilhelm.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Thats measn I would be on there, but I don't think I should be...

[Catra]

No true "List" of Hall of Fame'rs would ever be complete, no matter how many names we put on it. I know who I would put on it, but it's my personal choice. Therefor, how are we to nominate and vote on this list of all time "Hall of Fame'rs? Why not just enjoy one anothers company, be friends, and not call out people, and in the process hurt other's feelings because they weren't named?

[Hatchet Warrior]

I see your point, but its just for the fun of it, not like someone is going to take this to their grave..... or will they :eek:

[Duffman]

I nominate abyaly :).

[Hatchet Warrior]

I nominate Nomars Mom

[Catra]

I see your point, but its just for the fun of it, not like someone is going to take this to their grave..... or will they :eek:

No, not at all, I just don't understand why we have to have a Hall of Fame. What's the point? For the fun of it? Meh, if y'all have fun with it, you go ahead and have fun. I'll just take my own advice and not read the thread.

[DARKSMILE]

I nominate Nomars Mom

Was that a real player or are you beinga smart alec

I nominate Tcbb

[Liquid Swordsman]

Technically this game has been around since the end of Oct.2003 but we won't get into that.

Balzak owned so bad, he was the man.

Also, I would like to nominate m0n0xide child, he was one cool guy :cool:

[Kyir]

i nominate Warcow

[Poop Slinger]

stupid buttons.. brb

[*The Nothing*]

I nominate the following....if this even counts I suppose.

Snarr
Riders Of Rohan(Old Outkast Member)
A.F.I.
Moose

Those guys, were here around the same time I came, perhaps a couple of weeks sooner, and all of them have skill far surpassing many of the currently paying customers.:)

[monkus]

I nominate Lord Achilles. He is one of the best players I've ever met, he created Bg, and he's one of the most intelligent individuals I've ever met.

And I also nominate TheBurning, because she's just put too much work into this game to not be honored for it.

How about a hall of shame? Or would we all be banned for trolling...

[Poop Slinger]

Hmm. best person's or personalities a Hall fame need categories.. So.. I guess here are the nominations.

[cbsurfinggod]

[Moose]

I'm a poster with skills? lol, maybe 6 months ago but now i'm just a poster who just plays the game for fun and not competively anymore


Moosey

[cbsurfinggod]

[Moose]

but still moose u can kick some butt out there, even if u play for fun


Nah kicking butt was the young Moose, now it's just "lazy kicking" as the old Moose :p


But thanks anyways :D


Moosey

[cbsurfinggod]

don't worry i think half of all the good players are doing this game for fun since it is all luck now.

[actgfin1234]

Why am I on your list? I don't think you knew me when I was good, cause it certainly wasn't recently. :p

[Poop Slinger]

Only made it page 40 of 258.. other will be making the list.. also aI said.. post 1 of 3..

[Merch Sach]

Sir Vival.

[zzzaacckk]

ummm id say Mel, Monkus, Cavour, Achillies, all the mods... DR, Jeff, Warcow, TCBB, many more ill think of them later...

[Megabyte]

good list mel :)

even if I'm not certain about some of those names ;)

[Warcow]

Mel that was pretty much the greatest list ever.

I'd have to say you need to add Anal Champion though :p.

[zzzaacckk]

o I need to add Cephas to my list...

[Halo-master]

Zzzaacckk Is Gatta Be The Best (my Opinion) Hi Deserves A Spot In The Hall Of Fame.(again Its My Opinion Ok Flamers)

[DARKSMILE]

Ok i have got a lot of names. I will be making the poll then i will make an actuall Hall of Fame Thread and keep adding to it as more people come and go.

[Warcow]

Zzzaacckk Is Gatta Be The Best (my Opinion) Hi Deserves A Spot In The Hall Of Fame.(again Its My Opinion Ok Flamers)
Seriously, drop the caps lock, it is really annoying even with the filter in place.

[Mithrandir]

Dude. With how long you've been around, how can you have any idea who the best is?

[paulk6]

Why not just enjoy one anothers company, be friends, and not call out people, and in the process hurt other's feelings because they weren't named?

No, not at all, I just don't understand why we have to have a Hall of Fame. What's the point? For the fun of it? Meh, if y'all have fun with it, you go ahead and have fun. I'll just take my own advice and not read the thread.


I nominate Catra. :)

[zzzaacckk]

i am in no way the best. if you chose to nominate me as one of the best... fine but im by far not the best and please post less annoyingly.

[choplocker-17]

I nominate

The Thrasher

Monkus

Crx

and rantzu1

[DARKSMILE]

everyone please vote in the poll that i made for the Hall of Fame!

[bludhoundz]

Well, being on mel's list is good enough for me.

Warcow, Bottle, Jeff, Skof, Glamdring, Elentari.

^ good posters :). Many others, but those happen to be a few of my favorites.

[choplocker-17]

What about me :( lol jk

[Godmic18]

Why isn't Seed on that list? He's probly the most well know guy in the game on any server.

[Merch Sach]

Wow. Things have changed alot, that's for sure. How about we stop allowing this n00b to even try and run his own TAO Hall of Fame and let someone of actual intelligence take over (Jeffery?). Not to mention you have no categories. Why not try and organize it a little more, I recall a thread similar to this that actually was organized this one (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10939&highlight=awards).

[ko71991]

Jonspen-for always knowing what to say and when to say them to make people laugh.(namely me)
Jeffery-For keeping n00bs at bay.(Or at least scare them stiff to keep em out for a day)

And.. Well, yeah...

[actgfin1234]

I nominate Jeffery and I for having the creepiest avatars.

Yes, I nominated myself. :cool:

[meat.eater]

how didi not make Em's list??

[Godmic18]

I nominate Lord Godmic. He's pretty much my favorite guy on these forums and in the game. Flappy is a close second.

[*The Nothing*]

And so the list is set forth......does it matter? Hell no. Why are we voting? We have no idea. :D

[emerald slasher]

*caugh*

[Draquist]

Wow...all of you guys missed Pyro_guy14...Im pretty sure that was the name anyway, pretty much the inventer of the bomb? He rode that bomb up to the number 1 spot for a while until he happened to quit tao.

[Poop Slinger]

Pyro_guy4 was not the inventor of the bomb.. But he was for certain the one player to ride its coat tails all the way to the top.

[Swartzstrom]

I think I deserve the creation the worst thread.

Here it is: http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15562

I ain't happy 'bout it, but anything to help the TAO community :dry:

[Amaroth]

Technically this game has been around since the end of Oct.2003 but we won't get into that.


If you want to see some true vets, look at the top 20 of this list
http://www.digisonline.com/tactics/ranking/oldranking.html

Moosey

How many times do we have to tell you? WE DON'T CARE ABOUT LEGENDS. Stop promoting it here.

[Swartzstrom]

Legends sucks. Period.

[Moose]

n00b *cough*


Moosey

[Godmic18]

How many times do we have to tell you? WE DON'T CARE ABOUT LEGENDS. Stop promoting it here.

Stop saying we. I do and I'm here. Unless you have multiple personalities, please don't include me in your generalizations. All of the top 20 on that list have earned being in the TAO Hall of Fame. Just because you have some rediculous bias against Legends doesn't mean it isn't TAO. If you don't want to include them, start a new thread called FPS Hall of Fame. [/rant]

Let me put this here as simply as possible;
Legends doesn't concern us. Legends players have earned no respect among us, because Legends have done nothing to earn respect among us. Do not expect us to respect people that nobody knows or cares about.

[Godmic18]

They created the game's popularity which allowed for tha game to grow and evolve into the fps servers. Basically without it, you wouldn't be on these forums right now. Unfortunately, people here have seemed to evolve into a sort of Elitist Legends hating group of people. Not everyone, mind you, only the ones that actively "hate" Legends. Legends is personally my favorite server, but you don't see me bashing fpsers for being fpsers. I have many friends who play on fps, and they know I'm a Legender. Like I said in my previous post, if you're going to ignore some of the greatest players in the game, create a new thread called FPS Hall of Fame.

Why should it be called FPS Hall of Fame when the original thread was intended for FPS in the first place?

[Godmic18]

And considering he just said TAO, that means everything related to TAO, so legends counts does it not?

Moosey

:cool:

[Swartzstrom]

I won't disagree with that. But here on these forums, when we make threads like that, we intend it to apply to FPS and only FPS. No vets here that I know of give a crap about Legends.

[Godmic18]

I'd have to disagree with that. They might not like it, but I haven't seen them all actively commenting about how Legends is{the worst server" or how they "don't give a crap about it". Most of the vets here are intelligent enough to realize there is no point to hating a server, especially the game server that all of these servers are based on.

Hate? Did I say hate? I don't believe so. Dislike? Did I say dislike? Nope, didn't say that either. Hmm...I said 'don't give a crap about'. There's a difference.

Wait, you registered in February of 2005...you don't know crap about FPS. Don't assume if you haven't been around long enough to know anything about us.

[Godmic18]

I've been playing on fps since August. Legends even earlier than that. I just never bothered with these forums till the Legends forums exploded.

Who cares how long you've been playing? I've been playing here since the very end of November and didn't register until February or March under Ultimate Wargod.

[Godmic18]

Then why'd you bring it up? Anyway, enough of this banter for today. I think I made my point.

Have a nice day, Swartzstrom.
No hard feelings.

I brought it up because it was significant enough to point out. That doesn't stat that I care, however.

[Godmic18]

lol, whatever. I'm not angry about you in particular. You and Amaroth are both good guys (if you are guys) and I hold nothing against you. I'm just tired of people disliking Legends and Legenders for no good reason. I've thouroughly played all of the servers and have seen very little difference in the players or attitudes between players. I just don't understand the reasoning behind your dislike of Legends. I think we're spamming up the thread, so if you want to continue this discussion, feel free to PM me. Thanks.
