It was easily my worst style. Grey games really made my ADHD go nuts.

I remember on GL there used to be a grey named Konnrakk who used to hang out between AL and NJ, who would on average be 1450-1500 as a grey every month, and his set was always 3 enchantresses and 2 barrier wards, it was incredibly funny cause he'd roflstomp random golds at times with it. I played against him a few times with it
I don't think I've ever lost to a grey with a gold, for whatever that's worth. I've beaten some solid golds with grey: ZEUS, El Cid, some others I can't recall.
Ya, I was in it. Wish I saved some of my accomplishments grey v gold. It was mostly against 1100-1200 players, but I had 1 against a 1500 gold (probably booster) and a couple 1300-1400 golds.
Was called the goldjumpers lol.
Still don't see the edit putting me on here. :butcher:
lol

I guess I'll settle for 101.
There's about a ten-thousand-way tie for 101st. You all were so close.
As long as I am ranked 278th, I am good
Wait creativity is something we are measuring here???
Don't I get any points for Furgon Antis, Dragonless Berz rushes, and DSM Stone golem antis with 1 scout, Dragonless Berz/BR turtles, etc?
I was never really great at the game, but I'll be damned if I wasn't the most unorthodox.
Edit: I more or less made the exact same post years ago.

never forget the greatest all time
Yeah the female mod (sayter?) wouldn't let me get 3000. I was literally every active account on banff. Instead banned at 2355. Still upsetting.
Dragonmaster123 also hit 2007 for new years 2007, and 2008 for new years 2008. When it was still active (I think those were the years).
Every time dragonmaster123's password was boost.
How high did the other accounts need to be to even gain 1 stat?
TLDR:
I played as Zoticus yr. 2005+ mostly, but before that [-BrAd-] Jan 2004, [-BrAnDoN-] yr. 2004, Lord_Saruman yr. 2004, yr. 2005 Lord_Sauron. Without knowing who Bottle was and just entering the game, I was the one who played as Bottle on Army. I had no idea it was even a big deal until I joined the TAO forums for some help from DivineRight and noticed Bottle making a commotion about someone "dropping a Bottle" on Army. Bottle was my first gold account too and it didn't make since at the time why so many high ranking golds wanted to play me. I'm sure I disappointed them.
I consumed too much alcohol and smoked too much pot to remember TAO olden days like some of you. My opinion, you cannot seriously name a GOAT because there were too many game style changes and eras. Example: Michael Jordan and LeBron James. There were/are lots of GOATs. But the list is amazing, truly amazing. I do not recognize/remember a lot of the names as I only played on Army/Rev and Legends. I read the entire thread and think everyone made valid points, not sure if anyone was right over the other. It's all just opinions.
I do not think I belong on the list, probably not even top 500. Millions of people played this game. I only played in a few tournys, never got past a two game winning streak in a tourny. I loved to play TAO but close games would stress me out and my heart would be pounding as if I was being chased by someone who wanted to kill me. I like to think that I was above average as I played the game 2004-2008ish. I could legit get my grey stats to 1250+ in a month and gold 1450+ before I started getting spanked by the greats. Rev stats without boosting was 1005. I think the highest I got was 1550 before I boosted. After boosting and getting caught I pretty much quit playing the game. I would try to come back after 2009 but every time I would be so lost and the game was beyond me with new added units and strategies. I did however clan whore around Army, which was not an accomplishment considering Army was thought of as a wasteland/newbie server. Some of the clans I was in (even if briefly and some just in Rev): SI, KotR, LotR, Pyro Pyrates, Judgment, TDP, *Jokers Wild*, TAO ANGELS, Omni and many more I don't remember. I don't think I was in any of them during their prime besides *JW*, TAO ANGELS and LotR. *JW* was my favorite because I was a kid and all the drama it brought. I don't think there were many clans that *JW* didn't steal from and I helped recruit them before *JW* launched on Army. Started many clans on Army including a Grey Jumpers that got pretty popular. I was in a lot of boosting rings that included many of the top Army Ranking list. It was unbelievable how many people boosted before the ranking system that showed your games. Had a friendship with Bullcat0 or maybe it was Bobcat? idk but it was on Army, I think it was before and during *JW* and I was in my prime then. I could hold my own. That is my TAO story and honorable mention.
TAO was a big part of my teenage years. Especially the forum, I wanted to fit in sooo bad. Great times, I learned a lot from TAO.
It was likely bullcat on Army. Bobcat was from Legends and I don't think he was very active except on TianChao(?) on Rev. Also JW sucks. NJ4lyf
so just FYI, i still appreciate all the work that went into this and check it every once and a while for fun
