xin and hao2 (oldman) don't count, they aren't human.
bakku - retired?
sg is kind of lazy/retired now? - but i put him in with bakku, in a category just below xin and hao.
to me, eug is also up there, but he doesn't dedicate as much time to his countries it seems.

BUT those guys are already spoken for. IMO the best player right now, and the player to watch ... and I am going to go out on a limb and say he will become the best player over the next year : 5hade aka Dredd.
I've had the pleasure of watching this guy on a few servers over the past two sets and omg what a return. This guy is it, trust me.
Expect alliance and primary wins from him before 2015

Richard Sherman is the best player at this time.

SG is the best player right now. Eugene is probably the best player adjusted for effort.

5hade has been making t10 finishes and close to the top consistently so he's definitely someone to watch out for. He's been staying low profile so quite the class act.

This reset with all the netters out there though, on top of the suicides on LaF, you'll see just how overrated Sodawater's winning finishes are.

my vote goes to afaik. though he'll be the first to suggest there are better. which in my opinion only adds to it. (unless he's no longer actively playing??)

this is actually the correct answer

afaik is truly a class act i agree, and without a doubt one of the top top players out there, but he'd need to post a few finishes in 1a before being part of this conversation.
same goes for blid and crest and bobby and a few others

not sure how much he plays this server, vic. but his solo server is- or was, at least- utterly dominant xompared to any competition he faced.

not sure on actual finishes, but his overall nw HAS to suggest something, doesnt it?

(and past me where i am second because im more of a loser than all of you, not better than the majority ;p)

Who takes solo servers seriously?

<~qzjul> it gives you a good introduction to orbital mechanics and a good appreciation for how central delta-V is and thrust to weight ratio
<RaTSFYA>The only thrust to weight ratio I'm worried about involves the women I pick up at bars

I think it's bakku with oldman right behind him. Then after them I'd put afaik and Grimstad and Xinhuan. Might be forgetting some people but that's where I'd have it I think.

but, by your own words, you asked for the game. the alliance server does not the game make, my friend :(

otherwise, the question is, who can netgain the best while their political counterparts create the best scenario for them to netgain in an efficient or productive manner?

and then, even then, i would argue the credit goes to the gentleman (or gentlewoman, thank you the nineteen seventies) whom created the political atmosphere for said player to strive :(

say what you mean, mean what you say! (which i think is from In Living Colour??) :P

getting top tens is absolutely in no way the only category for being the top netter.

You're the top!
You're the Coliseum.
You're the top!
You're the Louver Museum.
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.
You're the Nile,
You're the Tower of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!

who ever said Vic disliked cole porter??

Um, you guys are all idiots.

I've done more on this server in less time than any of you and my name hasn't come up in 35 posts.

Get your fluff out of LaF's ass vic and give respect where respect is due.

I'm the best player right now, and have been since I came back to this game.

don't look at me, jew, i quoted cole porter to reference you- not my fault you spent more time wandering a desert for water than listening to musical theatre.

go move to kiryas joel you yiddish camel fluffer.

see what i did there? he was a heb so i treated him like one.

(i'm jewish, it's not racist, it's funny)

Well yes im good. if you include me, then you also have to include rob and ingle, more probably as well. there's loads of good players: metygl, crest, etc etc. it's hard to distinguish people really. very fine lines separate one group of people and the next, because we're all pretty good, you included, and it just slowly drills down until you get to the very bottom tier which is cerberus and h2o.

If I could open up my status on alliance only I would. My alliance server strats have already been posted all over multiple alliances websites. Hence why people mention SG is the best player - he's used my strategies to earn that. Same with Bakku and others when they've broken 300mil.

But I am not opening up my statuses or revealing what countries I've run on any other server.

Here's a tip: If you wan to see my countries look at the top 100 over the last 2 years. I think I'm the highest RD finisher every set besides one in which Silver got 1st and I was 2nd.

ingle i have an enormous amount of respect for. slagpit, as well. mikers. bobby. pretty much anybody in ska i would put up against anybody, anywhere- if i lose, thats fine, thats why you play the game; but i am confident they will give me an above average chance to win the "bet", so to speak.

i do not recall, blid, whether you were part of ska or not.. either way, i wouldn't bet a dollar that i could beat you on any server, so that says something ;)

vic, because when i asked if he would join rd on alliance, he said, and i quote "vic doesn't like 1930s cole porter enough, it's as simple as that"
