It's true that clan mates often are the first ones you remember, but who could you argue about? Phyrex, bagge, Lezard and Urist are all worthy of a mention, surely?

No doubt these four have all excelled at one thing or another or at one point or another, but when talking about a top 10 spanning a four year era over about 12 sub classes I could easily list 30 people that are worthy of a mention. The ones that end up in your list are usually the ones in your clan or that played during your own heyday.

I also perhaps mistakenly thought that Harleyquinn, Kastu and possibly lalien hailed from 22nd by the way, I get really fuzzy with clan tags.

I'm not sure myself, to be honest. Maybe they have been, but not that I know of.

[Lezard]

Have to weave in since there's some 22nd talk. Harleyquinn, Kastu and Ialien were not 22nd players (Harlequin however was a great 22nd player). Urist and me are the oldest 22nd members, with Phyrex joining a bit later on and bagge joining when 22nd became more of a gaming community.

As for me, I usually play too lazily to consistently do good (not saying I'd beat everyone if I didnt). Played with more focus back when I played competitive matches (native) and later some strategus. There was something more to fight for rather than "just"playing for fun and the e-peen. The EU tournament that's going on is pretty fun, but the mod is just too old to take anything too seriously.

Edit: I could never make a list in one of these threads, there's simply too many good players to consider and too many variables to judge. Still, I'll be able to sleep tonight becuase you put me in your list Lionheart )

Was referring to the 22nd harlequin, sorry for misleading there.

Lalien and kastu were NOT 22nd as lezard said. Considering Atze i was going to include him aswell. But since there's only 10 spots i chose to include phyrex instead. Not a biggie imo. They're both great players.

Saw Alexjei come up, miss that bud!

[IR_Kuoin]

I swear one of these threads pop up every year.

Put for the record, Gnjus was the first guy I was amazed about in terms of skill, so for nostalgia purposes I'll make a list.

Top 5:

Gnjus
Gnjuice
Gnjew
Ganjaus
Genjus

Wait, didn't we get mad at each other during 22nd training and dueled for quitting the game/clan(don't remember). In the end everyone got bored by permablock including myself and called it a day.

[Lezard]

I'd almost believe it, but I know you would never get bored of permablock. If it were true it's more likely I started spamming after some time while you laughed maniacally until server restart.

[LordBerenger]

Phyrex is the best.

I meant Lionheart. You were too good-hearted for such shit.

[Lezard]

Oh yes I definitely recall that event now that I think about it. gud times

[Gravoth_iii]

Another one of these threads huh, hoh well

Non-clannies who i have fond/nostalgic memories of


Chimp is the only true hero of the mod. I remember being amazed when he attempted a chamber, and failed (kek), but it was still amazing to me that someone was good enought to try that over just blocking. Probably since just being able to block back then would net you more kills than you can count.

Polepoop the silent meatball, i like his armor set.

Bjord when he was Shogunate_Oda_Bjord (before i joined shogunate so it doesnt count) everyone called him and Ujin Oda even though it was just the sub clan title. Was amusing to watch him slaughter peasants with his vaegir elite armor and sword of cookies(or tears, w/e i dont know the difference still, havent used any of them).

Phyrex also meatball, fun duels were had, fighting someone who's better is a good time. Allthough i barely ever went to duel.

Gnjus camping bundle of sticks with xbow and shield, used to do well when everyone was shit. Also nose

Slickyricky my evil merc twin.




Cant think of anymore atm, special shoutout to ninjas, xp barn and bullets for 50k gold that i couldnt purchase in time before patch. Oh and also polestun, polearm overhead not ever hitting teammates, floorstab and longspear overhead. Oh and lance of compensation.

[Phyrex]

This is now an (in)official 22nd Battalion thread.

Hello Lionheart, Urist and Lezard, how are you doing?

[the real god emperor]

Well I see everyone is making serious lists so my top10 ;

1.Kpubopy4ka : Massive 2hander god, he defeated many macro feinters, spammers , IF stackers with classic decent 2h gameplay.I still admire him.
2.Massasin : Best sniper ever. Also he is a real hero with his 1h blocking skills
3.DaveUKR : Best sniper vol2. He always knew where to hide&aim , a real ambusher.
4.Chase : With every build he plays , he is always on the first in the scoreboard(dagger&shield horse archery included)
5.Hearst: As stated before, reason of the kick nerf.He was the most valuable player in his time.
6.Lacoste: alongside Knitler, he is the awlpike god but above that he is actually good at planning builds and cavalry or 2 handed.
7.ArtemRUS( yes for real ): He is pretty decent and he has 150 ping 24/7 . Most players would suck really hard with that ping.
8.Kunio: He is the best archer around for me , doubtless. He even was quite agile with 36/3 build after massive archer nerf, and his aiming skills was godlike.
9.OldKnight: Cav god, his manauver skills with courier was annoyingly admirable.
10.Vex: one of the first STR stackers, but he had 0 IF which made him more brutal than normal.

OLD PLAYERS
1- Hideyoshi - My, Taimics and Schmackofatz´ sensei. It´s been over 4 years now and I STILL haven´t seen a player with such a patience when it comes to duels. Doesn´t take risks and is without shield as dangerous as with shield. Everybody hated dueling him, even Georges or Chase. Betting all my looms that he could still wipe the floor with some of the pro players out there.
2 - Captain_Georges - Flamberge sword, plate armor, that´s Captain_Georges. Welcomes new people in the clan with a TK, chambers without even trying. Good team leader, eternal space marine.
3 - Blueberrymuffin - Blue like a berry, hurts like hell. One of the first guys in my early days I kept in mind as "top dog".
4 - ArtemRUS - High ping, still shootin like mad. I still remember a strat battle where he spent the whole battle (2 hours) on top of a well defended tower with a weapon rack. Had a KD a commander could only dream of afterwards.
5 - Chase - I remember him as a promising freshman in the clan, enjoyed it a LOT when he firstly beat Georges in some duels and claimed the "best player in clan" throne for him. If I had knewn that this only was the beginning...
6 - Knitler - Awlpike. God fucking damn Awlpike and Knitler. He mastered that weapon and also thaught a lot to his apprentice No_rules_just_play. Oh them days when HRE was rolling on the servers...
7 - Slickyricky - Always with a staff or some short spear, deserved his name cause he danced around you like an eel in an oily frying pan.
8 - Kinngrimm - Leader of Wolves clan. Founder of Fenris clan. Impressive, undying shielder and good guy. Loved to attack the backdoor in strat alone and being SUCCESSFUL with that.
9 - Belmont - Because bitches love Belmont.
10 - Bagge - Great archer. Nuff said.


NEW PLAYERS

uuuh...I know y´all when I see you ingame, but I can´t even think of one atm...
