Hail Great Lakes! A server competition will be held shortly, to once and for all determine the best server! Matches will be held between competing gold memberships to compete for points, and determine which server has the most talent. More details will be provided later, for now, we need five people to best represent your server!

- Please, do not submit multiple gold accounts belonging to the same person. Only one 'person' per gold account will be allowed to play.

- Either nominate yourself, or another gold member. These votes will be tallied, and a poll will be made from them of 10 candidates.

- From that poll, the top 5 (who are willing to play) will be chosen, and the games will begin!

I can't get on rev. But I nominate Lord Achilles, Cavour, Mokotoko, Aro23r, xyxaxyz2, DuBious and green97sierra.

Lord Achilles
05-09-2004, 06:54 PM
What? Why golds only? Many of all three servers have a large amount of glory that belongs to the greys! Adding grey accounts would make this a true server contest.

And I nominate Aro, and errr... I don't know, that's about it I guess.

Oh and thanks for the nomination, I'll have to think about it.

No way, they SUCK. I'm not letting them represent my server. And I also nominate Eindeg, he's a complete dick but he's good.

I agree and disagree at the same time. Besides, integrating greys adds a level of complexity that I don't want to deal with. If grey accounts wish to stop thier trial, and go gold to participate in tournaments, then so be it. ^^

The timing isn't right for GL. If four month earilier or later, GL can definitely win, but now it's a time when old players left and new players not strong enough.

DuBious
05-10-2004, 04:33 AM
A couple of nominations! *feigns embarassment* Aww shucks guys! At any rate; a shortlist of more than 5 guys/girls, Aro23r, Lord Achujaroth, Cav, londonjack, xyx, Eindeg-Dein, possibly myself (?). Is trauger willing to give it a go? Haven't enjoyed him much lately, but he's still good, and resurge too, I hope he's not gone permanently.:( S_K_O_F for sure... can't think of much else.

And I VERY much agree with Tcbb, a couple months earlier or later would have been much better. There is currently a changing of the guard, and we could use a little time

xerent
05-10-2004, 06:05 AM
You will have time, though not much of it. The nomination process will take a couple weeks itself, and then another week or so to narrow it down to 5, then another week of downtime while the servers formulate their 'strategeries' while the matches and scoring system are debated upon.

Tcbb
05-10-2004, 12:13 PM
If "A couple" > 5, I may be gold again. Maybe resurgent and other key Elite members will be back too.

xerent
05-10-2004, 12:18 PM
5+ eh? I think we can do 5 or 6. It will take 2 or 3 just to finish our current tourney.

Totals so far:
Aro23r - 7 nominations
Lord Achilles - 6 nominations
xyxaxyz2 - 4 nominations
Dubious - 3 nominations
Cavour - 3 nominations
Eindeg-Dien - 2 nominations
Lord Kalamady - 1 nomination
Silver Destroyer - 1 nomination
Metro156 - 1 nomination
Mokotoko - 1 nomination
green97sierra - 1 nomination
S_K_O_F - 1 nomination
londonjack - 1 nomination

Lord Achilles
05-10-2004, 02:22 PM
Okay, here is my final nomination, I will not be nominating myself as I am not that conceited, and Cav asked me not to nominate him, but we will both accept it if we are chosen.

Aro23r
CertifiedDORK
DuBious
Londonjack
Xyxaxyz

Avoid my other nominations in my previous posts.

EDIT: And for the record, CertifiedDORK was one of the leading players on Banff back in the good 'ol days. He is one of the original members of the old Strategic Insomniacs, he trained with Rescorlian. I highly reccomend him, he's a vet.

lord ducki
05-10-2004, 05:41 PM
hmm so far, from the people I have played I would nominate:

xyx
tcbb (my money is on this guy.. by far)
eldee

having played and beaten draquist from banff, i would not recommend Lord Kalamady, achilles or any of the others from BS They would just get eaten up. Although I due have some "issues" with all the attitude eminating from that clan, this is not meant to be personal, but your attack rythms and tactics would be eaten up by those two alone from banff.

I am not sure about myself(eindeg-dein), as i am still new to gold but i will do what I can if need be.

*gets off soap box*

sOOisiDal
05-10-2004, 05:43 PM
its BG. also have you ever played any of them?

although the real question here is...have you ever played trauger? unless this is a "who can jump the most n00bs" tournament i'm thinking trauger shouldent fight

Utamaro
05-10-2004, 05:55 PM
Lord Achilles,Cavour,Xyxa,Aro,myself, Although 5 seems kinda limited I mean there are many great players on each server and all should have a chance.....I don't know just a thought.

Tcbb
05-10-2004, 06:18 PM
Pretty ironic the only person who vote for me is from Banff. Well the old Great Laker whom I played with are mostly gone. I will probably lose the poll, so I am not in.

lord ducki
05-10-2004, 06:22 PM
soosi.. yup i played a LOT of BG..BS or whatever you wanna call that clan (see thread netjaks have arrived).

tcbb.. your the fricking man! you have to play.. Listen up the rest of you tcbb is one of the greatest players TAO has EVER seen. play him once and it becomes evident. Wake up and smell the coffee! he is the best chance GL has against the other servers.

plusminus
05-10-2004, 06:56 PM
nothing for me yet? ah well, i nominate myself then.

Also, xyxaxyz2, Kuja, Dubious. I should probably nominate Aro23r but I don't think I've played him more than once, a long while ago. But he's got enough votes anyhow.

Tcbb are you back as a gold? If so then a vote for you as well. I think I played you once or twice way back when I was a n00b and I got pummeled.

Grey's aren't members :P ppl hate them...and most smell funny...

if you did want greys..lets here some shouts for megabyte2!!

DuBious
05-11-2004, 10:06 AM
*Sigh* Eindeg, you can't insult someone and then say it's not personal. :( Let's not drag clan squabbles into this. Besides... when have I given you attitude?:confused: ? I played you once while I was grey and I said I enjoyed it. I respected you as a player, and never insulted you.
Before anybody else jumps the argument bandwagon, let's keep in mind that this is about uniting the clans to defeat another server. Forget internicine politics.
In that respect, Tcbb, I have never played you, but by your posts alone I am impressed. I nominate you as well. Eindeg, since you feel so strongly, I nominate you in hopes that you will represent us well against many who are likely to be from your clan. I stick behind my previous picks of xyx, Ach, +-, Cav, Aro, londonjack and skof. I also throw golems hat into the ring as he has proven to be very tricky;)

plusminus
05-11-2004, 10:35 AM
I've only played golem once but he was the best furgon user I'd seen at that point. Definately a vote for him.

And with that, I nominate Tcbb.

Cavour
05-11-2004, 11:56 AM
Yeah, me and Ach arent voting for eachother or ourselves, so im goin with...

1)xy
2)LJ (if he can even get on Rev anymore)
3)Plusminus
4)Dubious
5)Golem

I Wouldve voted for Aro, but like Dub, I noticed hes definitely gonna get in and is leading in votes anyway...

Also, Ill gladly give up everyone of my votes to Tcbb if he hurrys up and gets gold again :D

I also agree that GL isnt exactly at its best right now, and alot of its best golds are leaving or left... so the timing on this is disappointing :(

I ask for a month or two before starting... that way we may have a more stable gold core and maybe have Tcbb back... :)

Edit: I also wanna vote in SKOF and Darrington Darque, but the damn 5 limit...

Ultimate Wargod
05-11-2004, 03:22 PM
I'm thinking about Lord Kalamady, Umataro, maybe Regdar- (If she's willing) i will think about two more later.

05-11-2004, 03:28 PM
This is Swartzstrom ( or Cha'tturgha for good friends of mine.) I have a lot of respect for golds, but i think some greys should get in on this. Come on, I mean, many greys have beaten golds many times over.(Not me, I always lose) Why don't some of you guys battle a good friend of mine who goes by Cephas... I KNOW he's as good as any good gold. Thank you for your time.

Ok, I will check this forum 5 weeks laters. If I am not too rusty by then, I will fight for GL. Peace now.

Edit:
Since this will decide the best server once and for all, I suggest that at least ten games should be played between every 2 server. Double elimation will make it more fair; random choose opponent, so it won't last for 2 month.

Utamaro
05-11-2004, 06:08 PM
I decided to take back the vote for myself figuring there are more talanted players on GL that have a better chance then I, so my new votes are. Lord Achilles, LondonJack,Tcbb,Aro23r,Xyxa.

Scott
05-11-2004, 06:33 PM
Ok, Cavour, you know u have my vote, same for u LORD ach, but for the other 3, i think i would pick xyxaxyz, Golem, and CetifiedDORK.

I would say Warcow, but he's gone... :(

My final vote will go to...... resurgent247

I just read Xerent's post on when the tournament will take place. At least a month? That's probably for the best, but I'm just going to say that in a month I'll be working as a lifeguard at a kids camp... and living there. No access to computers:( Sorry guys, I'd have loved to have been involved, seeing as my name cropped up a few times.:) I think I would have represented us well, perhaps shocking a few more well established players.
However, now that I've released this information. I might as well say it; I'm gonna be gone for 3 months (June, July, August) with only sporadic access to a computer. I'm still debating whether or not to even keep my account as a gold. At any rate, you may as well be prepared for it now. Instead of me, I would suggest Ach, plusminus, Cav, Skof, or Golem from BG.

Next Victim?
05-12-2004, 08:57 AM
Lord Kalamady definitely does not deserve it. I've stomped him time and time again. I'll admit, I am not one of the TOP 5 that deserves to be there, but LK...COME ON PEOPLE!!!!! :p

Next Victim?
05-12-2004, 09:00 AM
Okay, since both Dunious and Resurgent are not here no more, I am changing my votes to:

Cavour
Dark_Ash_h50
Golem
Utamaro
Trauger (he may be a mage bombing freak, but he's #1 and he definitely earned it through trials, so he deserves it 100%!!!!)

Megabyte
05-12-2004, 10:07 AM

The only time you have beaten me was that time when I was supposed to lose to see if I could get kicked out of DE...also I nominate eldee seeing as he beat Eindeg Dein.


EDIT: Also next why did you nominate Ash and Trauger and not nominate Achilles?

Yeah, Ewok is very good, so make him fit in somewhere or I'll unmod you xerent, because I DO have the power to do that.

Cephas
05-12-2004, 02:02 PM

I KNOW he's as good as any good gold. Thank you for your time.

Okay, something's wrong here. I appreciate the nomination, but for the purposes of this tourney, I'm pretty much the same as trauger but without the gold toys. I play any grey, and I do all right, but pit me against a gold who knows what he's doing and I'm in trouble. Working on it though, just give me some time!

I appreciate the vote of confidence though... :D

Cavour
05-12-2004, 02:47 PM
Im changing my votes since Dub is leaving *sheds tear*

1)Plusminus
2)S_K_O_F
3)Golem
4)LondonJack (if he can get on Rev still)
5)xyx

Again, Ill give up 3 of my votes if Tcbb is aplicable (ill keep 2 for skof cause the voters are somehow forgettin about him) and if LJ cant compete Ill go with Darrington Darque... it was between him and eldee, and I recently played Eldee and won (good player, but [not to sound partial] I gotta put in a BG gold instead... sorry Eldee) So I think Ill go with them...
and Tc, will you have gold again in time?
Also, this timing sucks as i said before :(
Warcow wouldve definitely gotten one of my votes, along with Shuichi, and maybe Res, but all seem to have dissapeared...
Also, Next, please dont vote in trauger... hed turn it down even if by some odd twist of fate he got in :p

Warcow
05-12-2004, 03:15 PM
Yes i still check these forums once and a while just to see whats going on in the world of TAO, you people amaze me with some of your nominations. first of all Tcbb is the best player to have ever played on TAO if he is not included you are all moronic. Aro23r is also very very good and should do quite well. Trauger for certain he is an ex Elite and was and still probably is one of the best out there, its too bad all the elites are gone They were at one point the best around period. The other person who got no mention because he doesnt play much is Ahab, hes awesome. Definately Xyx because he was tough to beat even as a grey and as for the last I have no idea, pick the best of all those other players ive never heard of. Not Lord kalamady I saw him stomped by my friend as a grey so i say no (sorry Kalam your just not experianced enough) and ive never seen any of the others in action. Oh yea PLus minus was very promising when I played him last he'd probably be a good bet.

Anyway thats my two cents

Peace, Warcow

Warcow
05-12-2004, 03:16 PM
Oh, yea if S_K_O_F is still playing hes awesome take him

xyxaxyz2
05-12-2004, 04:41 PM
I don't want to create conflict...but I don't think we should elect CD and Tcbb to represent GL, since I'm not sure we could claim either of them as real, loyal Great Lakers. CD has been a Banffer for a long time, Tcbb has wandered through the entire TAO world....

What would it say about our server if it was those two who won it for GL?

Me, Aro, Lord A, Cav, SKOF, we've been well known GLers for a long time...those are my final nominations.

Thanx for your good words, and sorry to see you leave. Trauger certainly isn't the Trauger you know of. My recent experience with him was about a week ago, on a random grey account. He used F5 trick on me!

Trauger did play some golds. I recently checked the list of the players I played. Surprisingly, it's trauger whom I played 2 games with, not tugger. Trauger might be an honorable player 2 month before, but he went down after he left the elite.

But MW is Tcbb. You're the same person. You've even said you think Banff is the best server. I don't think we can consider you a true GLer.

Edit: Its nothing personal! I just think this should be a conflict of servers, and a conflict of servers means we need to bring in only people known as being loyal to Great Lakes.

Majestic
05-13-2004, 02:19 PM
xyx his first server was lakes therefor making him a true laker :) would you rather see him represent our server or another server?

Tcbb
05-13-2004, 02:59 PM
xyxaxyz2's argument makes more sense. I did say that Armegddon was the best server in the sense that she had more good players who were willing to accept challege a long time ago. I agree with xyxaxyz2 that I am not suitable to represent GL, although I know I am loyal to GL.

Warcow
05-13-2004, 05:56 PM
Your clan was founded on GL, you played the majority of your games on GL, everyone knows you on GL, and you made one of the top 100 on GL, top 10 at one point I think. I'd say that makes you a GL'er

Tcbb
05-13-2004, 08:44 PM
I know I am a GLer, but many people don't think so. Most old GL players whom I played with(the Elite) are gone, I hardly know any new GL players.

Before I was deleted, I was #7 in GL, #6 in Banff, and #1 in Armegeddon. Other servers would have a excuse if I fight for GL. At the GL vs Arm tourney I was going to fight for GL; snarr said:"but you are part of Armegeddon too". I would have fought that time except they couldn't find an opponent for me.

Sorry Warcow, I think it would be better if I am simply out.

Warcow
05-13-2004, 09:37 PM
Alright I except that, i knew knew you were so high on the rankings for the other servers. (but it does show a GLer would dominate anywhere he goes :P) So if not Tcbb I nominate ~zedd~ if hes around anymore. Also Tcbb your right the best of the GLers have moved on seeing as how most of us played for around half a year.

Utamaro
05-16-2004, 06:47 AM
I saw I had very few votes , not knowing how I got them lol I think that if I were to win that I may not be the best but I'm willing to do my best for every match I am entered in and win or lose I will always stay loyal to GL . :) Ach. I agree with what you said about trauger, Although I'm on good terms with trauger and all but for a tourny of golds and all he does is play greys he shouldn't get voted for.

theburning

which is:

lord ducki
05-18-2004, 09:29 PM
tcbb,

it is your choice, of course, but I would still say it is a pity.

Your the best TAO has seen, a tourney without you is a let down. Take the resent TAo gold tourney.. Darque won it, not that hes is a bad player, clearly not. However, in my opinion his victory is marked by your absence.

I started on banff where i spent quite some time. now I am here.
simple as that.

I think that it is an honor to be nominated as one of the best of any server. Clearly the people here recognize you talent and we, especially me, wish you would play.

Utamaro
05-20-2004, 02:26 PM
I agree with him that you should play in the tourny but with the results of the 1st tourny I think Darque played really well in everyone of his games and you never know if maybe Tcbb had a bad game Darque still could have won. But I wish for you to Represent GL. :D :D :D

Tcbb
05-20-2004, 09:12 PM
Thank you guys for the support. Taking the result of last tourney into consideration, I think this matter over again and made my final dicision; I won't post on this subject again until touney start. If Rogue_Wolf can fight for Armegeddon without objection, then I will fight for GL and nobody from other servers will say anying about it. Of course, if many excellent players mature in GL by the time, they can better represent GL. Also, I have some difficulty getting gold again(need another credit card), so if not many good players in Banff attend, I may not go gold.

Any way, accoding to xerent, there is still one month. No one really knows what will happen by then. I suggest we nominate 10 players. Who ever is available by then will represent GL. Good luck guys.

Edit: Lord Ducki, it's pretty amazing you get to #4 so fast. The best I get on GL was #7, hehe. Guess I should have played more games to win the trust of the commoners.

Utamaro
05-21-2004, 07:59 AM
You still have my trust Tcbb :) hm..the server touryn is gona be huge lol so much chaos I feel bad for DR and Xerent or who ever is running it.

Spirit_Knight
05-21-2004, 09:06 AM
Yup, this is definitely not the time for GL, almost all of our cool players quitted. Plus, the Elite is dieing. I think we'll just have to wait until new golds get better!!!

Example: I am new gold too....

Cavour
05-21-2004, 11:14 AM
The Elite isnt dieing... theyre dead... :( Look around... I havent seen an Elite member on (except for Taveren stopping in) for over a month... You are right about this not being GLs time... Alot of our best players seem to have vanished with The Elite... Also, Tcbb, you bring up a good point with Rogue playing for Army without any controversy, so Id be happy to see you in for us :) I know youve played on all servers, leading to the question of loyalty, but regardless of the fact that you wandered, GL is your server in my oppinion, and i believe in yours as well... Your argueably the best, and if not, you certainly are one of the best, and I dont think GL would be fairly represented without you in there... then theres the thing about possibly not getting gold in time... plus, you may be a little rusty... If you cant get a new credit card just send a check... thats what I did... :D

Darrington
05-21-2004, 12:28 PM
I retract any previous statements saying that Eindeg is worth representing our server.

If I can beat him, he isnt good. Simple as that.

I also disagree with S_K_O_F based on the same principle, even though he said he played a bad game. Understandable, but I just dont think its server-representing worthy.

My final nominations go to:

Lord Achilles
xyxaxyz2
Dubious
Aro23r

And thats all I can think of. Just to be a punk, Ill make a nomination for me for the last one, cause I know it isnt worth anything! Eeeeee!

ya.. your probably right Darrington.. i totally suck.. because if i you beat me it must be the case. Who are you trying to insult me or yourself?

after playing the most of the people here, I would say the best people are:
tcbb - simplely said, he is DA MAN.
Dubious (very creative and has fun with the game, but i do believe he is gone for 3 months)
golem - kinda boring setup, but it is very very effective under his control
krazikarl - bit of a gold jumper, but i can relate as most gold on this server at too worried about their stats to challenge anyone new.
take your pick from xyx or plusminus.. about the same caliber solid consistent players.

As for the rest, I have yet to see them prove themselves as most of them refuse to play me or we haven't had a chance yet.

I do believe that most of the rest of the people have very simple turtle setups with scouts,DT,Muddie, cleric, LW, nights.. having seen the players from banff, I just dont think it has enough bang to beat the better players from there.

ps thanks tcbb, i have to credit some of those points to dubious as we had 3 matches where we played EXTREME "FIRE & ICE" TAO. the most fun i've had with a gold in a long time. cheers, dubi man!

However, i lost about 50pts to disconnects and have been experimenting with different setups, that have cost me matches, see darrington above. I also ask what units are allowed to be sporting, as most people on this server don't know how to counter my duck roast formation or only know how to use a basic turtle... somehow, people have this idea that a turtle is the only way to get a tactical game from tao.
So, we'll see how i do at the end of the month, should have solidified things by then. ;)

endeg/ lord ducki -- you got my vote it was an intense match and I didnt win by much

cavour -- I like your style you deff. have my vote a great player

Thats really the only two I have played that i believe is worthy(that i can think of) but i havent had a chance to play many good players and i feel it unfair to nominate someone that i have not played.

endeg -- as far as the turtle setups go i love them and i believe that a good player should be able to put up a good fight with many setups not just one.....how ever i am guilty of over useing the turtle but and i have even practiced useing it to take on some of the best mage bombs...my point is the way i figure it if it works for you then why not use it

Cavour you left too? It seems sad, all us dinosaurs are almost gone. There arent many who remain. In our prime we'd have whooped all you youngin's At any rate I no longer think GL can be fairly represented. All her best players hung up their TAO battle gear and no longer play, its a shame really

Cavour
05-23-2004, 09:46 AM
Wow... he seriousl voted for Silver Destroyer... *sigh*

Anyway, Warcow, Im comin back pretty soon (unlike you :( ) so there will still be some Dinos roaming around ;)

Warcow
05-23-2004, 10:01 AM
Good, it's nice to see someone stick around. However Cav you havent been gold nearly as long as some of us :) I think during the summer I may return, and create a clan of Elders, available only to TAO's oldest members. I'm not sure if it will work because all the elders are gone, but I think there are still a few roaming around.

I am not going anywhere.

And guys...start challenging me when you see me in the lobby

I will fight anyone...but remember, a lot of the time I am on I am at work...so i may ask to wait till I get away from work to play unless I have an inordinate amount of free time.

I copy and pasted someones votes took one out and put Eiden-Dein in because he as a grey is one of the best I have ever seen... no golds play me... so I do not know who Silver Destoyer was... KaLamALdY however is awesome...

Utamaro
05-23-2004, 05:32 PM
LK is a good player. Although not to make him sound bad, I'm sure he would adit there are many otehrs more skilled then him. No offense LK :) lol there are a lot more people better than I aswell.

Then go gold, so maybe you can participate in it. or a differant tourny that might come up in the future.

What are you talking about? I'm the best! :p Anyways I think that we, GL, are going to get our ass whooped, lol. All the good players have left. Except for a few. So with everyone gone here are my nomninations. Golem, Eldee, Utamaro, Eindeg-Dein, and Baeoin. I think that they are all GL has left and desperate times call for desperate measures. Yes I did nominate Utamaro...*sigh* :p

My final post in this thread:

I have to agree with what xyxaxyz2 said a few pages back about how the server representatives should be not only good players, but long time dedicated GL-ers.

So, Aro23r, xyxaxyz2, and S_K_O_F should all be in for sure. For the other two, Ach and Cavour seemed to be the popular choices, except they both said they were taking a break. If they will both play a special come-out-of-retirement match, then fine. If not, then there are a few people that have been around that could take the spots.

One of them is me; if you've not played me before, ask someone who has whether or not I'm any good. And I have been here a good 5 months now. For a 5th person, there's a few choices, a name that's coming to mind is Game Over. He's quite skilled, and is certainly not new to the game. In any case I do feel that people that represent our server should be picked on more than just skill alone.

EDIT: When is this thing supposed to happen anyhow?

Lads & Lasses

2 pts.

Update on my last votes after due to the recent hack of the golem account and recent playing:

1) tcbb
2) Dubious
3) StrategicManiac (new on the scene, but very very impressive, jut edged him out)
4) Dark Golem (the real Golem's new account)
5) XYX

Alternates to dubious and tcbb if they can't make it.
plusminus (definitely an alternate to the dubious if he can't make it)
krazikarl

still waiting to play warcow, Lord achiles, cavour, arco23r and some others mentioned her so can't propose any others

as for skoff and the others, though very very good players, I don't think have the mustard to cut it against the banff boys.

special note: If roody poo turns gold... he should be in. very very talented. Please also note, unlike others, I do not vote for myself or sentimental favorites, just people who i think can win against the banff and army people.

2) Why don't we look at how everyone stands up in Rev as that is where the real compition is anyway?

Warcow
05-25-2004, 09:29 PM
Sorry Lord Ducki you wont ever get that game i'm afraid Ive retired from TAO and I don't think anyone nominated me In the first place, I don't think I was ever one of the absolute best so I probably wouldnt belong in this Tourny even if I sitll played. I Havent heard of half these new guys and thatscares me. Aparently GOlem is quite good though I don't think he was around when I started playing but if everyone nominated him he must be dam good. XYX naturally, S_K_O_F for sure, and Tcbb if hes still playing and I'd say Aro23r if hes still around. However if one of these guys isn't able to play i'd say PLusminus, I hardly beat plus back in the Day when he was a very new gold, and he was an exceptional grey so I bet hes wicked now. Anyway I don't know anyone else still around who would take it too banff, so thats about all I can say

strategicmaniac is, like me, not a GL based player. Our Gl golds are not our first, and should be excluded from representing GL accordingly (as are some other golds I hear)

BTW, I withdraw my objection to tcbb if he ever goes back gold, he clearly is now a GL supporter.

good point strategic maniac is *the nothing* ..an army dude.

so in place of his spot I would put Roody Poo. The man has got game.

Hey there all ^_^

Well i'm a new and upcoming gold in these 'ere parts lolI'm not expecting votes, I have alot to learn (Even though I've beaten most of my netjak clan mates ;) ) but representitive-wise? um...

I would pick

xyxaxyz2 (Jesus I can remember that name now O.o')
tcbb (If is IS coming back)
zigz
Eindeg-Dein
Roody Poo
Dubious

With me as a sub XD

Also I should prob point out - After having read this read that I WAS Eindeg-Dein lol Thats going to cause some confusion eh? The account was made so someone could lead Netjak over here. Originally it was me, so Dubious hun, it was me you fought when I was gold and you were grey and those two games we had were very good :)

To everyone who wishes to know, Lord ducki is now Eindeg-Dein, I am back to my old name of DKR.

Why did this happen? Well this is slightly off topic but if I clear it up for you guys it will be better for you :) I didn't have the time to expand us properly, while Ducki does and has more talent than me for sure :) Although be warned, my skills in gold have increased dramatically from when I was Eindeg ;) (I still suck though -.-')
