I've been watching this thread for a while just to see if I was mentioned at all (yes, i'm arrogant and like a little bit of a boost to my gaming ego) but I think it's time I give someone else the e-peen treatment!
Bulldog/Hardsteppa - One of the first guys to actually "train" me in melee, also the leader of my beloved Bulldog clan
Panzermarine Georges - Used to think he ran around with a flamberge and heavy armour to get kills in the early days, now I scream and run away like a girl every time I see him (also I appretiate him helping me to chamber) Also a laugh on ts "Our shipment of panzertanks has gone missing, we've got wedding dresses instead" classic
Replica - When I first started out, Replica was the "unwilling guiding hand" that I based my original character on and I had increased respect when they never used fullplate archer in the early days and stayed with "reasonable archer armour". Stop whining about archery because it was hellishly bad back then.
Poul - Not many people remember him but just for the comments he used to come out with in the old days about his "Plated Archer Cookie wielding Warrior", not always an amazing shot/duelist but gave me some laughs, I hated and respected him.
Bifi - I was going to stay away from clan mates but he has this fantastic attitude towards the world. He is a good player who for some reason has the uncanny knack to pick up any weapon and be good with it (although I especially love his pikeman build). He cannot be raged at because he will just reply with his deep voice slightly saddened with "Oh..." Makes you want to cry and appologise, although he still looks good in pink when he uses that crossbow.
Finally
Moribund - Another clan member, for the mere fact that he comes out with some fantastic comments over ts, he holds the only quote that I have ever put into a signature on any forums. "Not one of your nonchalent English rages." "Commander Tenne's orders: Hide behind the women then run away." Also has this fanastic British accent despite being a thorough bread German, i'm proud to say he has a better accent than myself or Casamir.
EDIT: I was going to stay away from the more mentioned players but:
Tor &
Serfonz -
Serfonz for his brilliant "speeches" over ts, accent makes it better, still remember his horsearcher "Oh wow, I just fired straight into the air and it hit my horse in the head, i've just fallen into the middle of 15 enemies who have bludgeoned me to death with sticks! How rediculous is this!?"
Tor for his in game skill but managing to keep his "respected gamer" standard throughout the game, never heard him rage & has a sense of humour to match. Always seems light hearted, I have a lot of respect for people who keep a cool head.
I think I went a little overboard but nevermind, there are so many people I have respect for in this game, not just by skill but over the time I have been here, from those who've helped me get to where I am, and those who've given me motivation to stick with the community.
Damnit, I forgot
PebblePusher - Another guy who comes out with some epic comments over ts, there are too many to type and his are the most rediculous i've ever heard.
