A little late to the conversation...
Not intending to bump up his ranking, because it's probably fine where it is, but as some trivia I remember when Frylock beat Lemon in Grey with only 9 units (he was down a knight). It was a team tournament but I cannot remember the name. Was pretty epic.
regarding the whole clans thing i was in a very interesting situation
for those of you who don't know the backstory, as a 14 year old dumb kid i named my clan bludhoundz after myself. i then 'merged' (jesus kids are dumb) clans with Altar of Chaos and we formed ChaosHoundz. after some time passed all the leaders of the clan (myself, AssassinOfLords, and Koolaid1) were busy with school or whatever and couldn't be assed recruiting so we got melded into SI and gained rank quickly since we had been leaders and brought quite a few members in. thereafter i became a leader of SI
the interesting thing is that on Legends, ChaosHoundz had already merged with another clan, Medieval Gladiators. that clan became ChaosGladiators and I was also a leader there, but they didn't want to merge into SI the way that ChaosHoundz did. so i was leader of both clans technically for a while.
at some point later on Jokers Wild was formed on the FPS servers and it was apparently a ChaosGladiators + The Illuminati thing? i was offered a leadership position if i joined but i didn't take it
bludz thirstin' for dat glory
Eh?Quote:

Jokers Wild was carlos22/ryan56/Dan U + Dape and crew + me and a few of the other Banff guys
Best clan name though: him in bed.
"Hulky has invited you to join him in bed."
just spamming everyone with invites when I was bored lol
I remember the clever clan invites. :)
I would definitely put KoTR above TDP at 7. A lot of the clans you mentioned are server specific. TDP was a great clan on Army, along with X-factor, but KoTR was a top 10 clan on all three servers for most of the existence of TAO though mainly on the banff and GL servers. Could definitely make a case for judgment, above KoTR as well, but I'm biased. And yea, Hells Angels has to be on that list somewhere. I'd personally put them above X-Factor at 9, similar clans skillwise in terms of being a top clan on a specific server for a long time, but I gotta go with the GL clan considering I always believed army to be the weakest of the 3 servers (with a few exceptions at the very top, depthwise Army definitely had the most nubby 1500 players for the longest time, it was the only server I managed to crack 1700 stat on)Quote:

Why didn't you quote the "no specific order" part? lol
x-factor, JW, and Hells Angels merged into KoTR and KoTR was the first clan on FPS (by hours over SI, but still). I was also one of the last people on TAO and still in KoTR as and after it went down. So KoTR lasted from the beginning to the end which has to have some bonus points. We were also one of the most active threads on the forums (one of the Arcadians, Netjak, and SI I believe where the only 3 more post-whorey).
These are technicalities. I don't think they count. The creation, sure, but the end? That was just a mess.Quote:

Regarding the end, I was in AK post-apocalypse, so AK also deserves bonus points if they are still being handed out. The end was pretty bad, though. When discussing the most influential clans, the cutoff for relevance should probably be like 2012.
I don't remember all the details behind the KoTR / HA fiasco. Hulky, could you maybe clear that up? I think HA was formed in late 04 because there was some disagreement as to their legitimacy as the Great Lakes KoTR branch. Philly could probably explain this if he's around too.
As mentioned, Spencer, Cliche's list is in no particular order. Thinking about the history of the listed clans, it's really difficult for me to say which should be ranked higher in terms of dominance, relevance, etc. SI and NJ are clearly the top 2 in just about any category, but after that it gets really cloudy. A phonebook type of thing with some info on each memorable clan would be cool to write up at some point.
I was the leader of KoTR Banff and GL. I made A.R.T a coleader on GL, he stole leadership to sole leadership and then killed KoTR off to make his Hells Angels. Later HA merged back into KoTR.
I brought KoTR back to life once cause CD sponsored me and asked me to. I stopped playing and it died shortly after so I guess I don't count as a leader. Whatevz
You count as a leader but this is your write-up describing your leadership experience. You get to decide whether you want it included or not. :PQuote:

Edit: Don't ask me how lol
Considering AL roflstomped 10 out of the original Netjak 12 and lost to Bottle and Allstar, I'd say that list does justice.
...
I couldn't resist.
lol, oh silly, irrelevant-as-a-player-beyond-2003/early-2004-Gryph. Everyone on this game who's a decent player has beat everyone else who is a decent player, for the most part. No need to be stupid.Quote:

I remember Gryph being a pretty good turtle player. Didn't you beat Monkus in that team tournament in 2006? You must have beat a few good players because our team got to the finals against Draquist, Darque, and Monkus.
I did yes. I also brought that bullshit stone golem in the 2nd row from legends into FPS and got to 1700 with it xD
I had a few memorable moments, 10-0'ing Cuath for the 1700, beating monkus, winning Strife and Geeky in the NJ12/AL12 war before losing to Bottle in grey. And let's not forget, being a dope as fuck in game mod for a while.
*ego +1*
You should have saved a s/s of that. That's a treasure.Quote:

Allstar, Bottle, Bullcat, and I beat your 12 players, so no. You didn't roflstomp the 10 out of 12. I went 3/4 against you all. I lost to FireBrand in turtle, with some luck helping him pull out a close game. Had I remained in grey I wouldn't have lost. Bullcat went 2/3. Had he remained in free I doubt he would have lost either. Bottle and Allstar finished you all off, but they got to stay in their respective styles longer. I recall a lot of early games were close that swung your way with a little blocking, but the better team still won. Cool story though.Quote:

I also remember at one point I had to go grey to face Bottle because there were no one left turtle on your side when Bottle beat FreshEvaus and Mei (tripleseven). Fuck now I wanna go back and reread that thread. The only game I remember anyone bitching about luck was Mantis vs Twelve.
I was involved. You all went 8-4 in the opening round. I do not specifically remember which games had luck involved. But the remaining four were me allstar bottle and bullcat. And we each won multiple games. I won 2 or 3 grey games, but had to move to turtle and lost to FireBrand. Now that I think about it I must have only won 2 grey games before being put in turtle. My match against FireBrand was close, but knight blocking at the end pulled his way. I wouldn't say that I outplayed him though.
That last sentence is in regards to the AL vs. NJ war. We were dubbed that after the war and were considered the top 4 in the 12 at the time.Quote:
(28) Bullcat0 - I may have ranked him too high on this list, but he always kicked my ass in freestyle when I played him and I have a very high opinion of him. He was the 7th overall pick in PSST2. He was part of NJ’s Fantastique Four, along with |AFO|, Bottle, and Allstar.
That would be a cool story if it were true, AFO. Unfortunately I know first hand that Netjak sucks balls.
Are you trying to tell me that your list shouldn't be taken as gospel? :o
I thought this list was like the Bible of TAO and that I am basically TAO Jesus.
I think AFO only comes back to the forums because we keep stroking his cock in this thread
You're just mad you didn't make it on the list.
