I am not asking who are the best players, best slayers, most popular, or biggest trolls.
I am asking who the people are who have, at different times had the most power (or control or hold over people or whatever you want to call it) in Dust.
You are they now? Who are the most powerful in the history of Dust?

Me.... at one point in time.
A mercenary with a thirst for ISK. Corps declaring wars on each other. All corps trying to hire me. I was the deciding factor of a Corp's Victory or Defeat. One match I fought for a corp. The next, against them. A true mercenary.

This may sound like Snugglz is being arrogant, but it's actually true. I remember getting stomped by ERA, not by their infantry, but by Snugglz. He pretty much single-handedly throtted our high-ground, tankers, other ADS and slaughtered our infantry.
And it was damn near impossible to take him out of the sky unless using a forge gun. He is pretty much what made us realize AV is absolutely necessary to win.

Matter of perspective. Kalash and I chatted about this last night. The "best players of all time" are the best players AS TIME GOES ON. A year ago, people I perceived as the best simply had a massive sp advantage over me - that little extra health, higher damage from proficiency, versatility to change to whatever was OP as soon as it was released...sp meant everything. After the three month break, I noticed the bar raising higher than when I left: everyone's sp was higher, their ability to perfect a suit attained.
We speculated that it isn't CCP's "screwing over the playerbase" that pushed these respective beasts out of the game, simply the fact that they no longer had that little bit extra to keep them one step above everyone else - those ego's just can't take not having 6.0 k/d's when it's not just straight scrubs running around everywhere. Or, they come back and find what OP setup they used is no longer such, and they are unable to adapt. Take the respec option for example - now anyone can instantly switch out to the next flavor, or take all the wasted sp and spec completely into super fits.
Now, I will say that there are those who no matter what happens will always be greats in their relative class. Preston in a heavy, Snugz derpin, radar in scouts, etc. etc. I guess the better question is, who are the greatest class players now/all time? Who are the most versatile? Who is able to stay great, no matter what mechanical changes are implemented? Talent > Skill. |

This was right before ERA. lol. I realized that ERA gave the biggest paychecks so I pretty much unofficially became permanently contracted to them. But before them it was first come first serve.

The real wars haven't been for over a year - none of the players who came in during DNS reign have ever experience a true war on those scales.
My thumbs bled from all the PC's you'd do in one day. You'd finish one, hop into another instantly, for like 4 hours straight, sometimes going into games already 2 minutes in with the enemy set up. And we still smashed 'em.
We'd have to 5 cap a game, beat it by MCC to a point, then instead of waiting for battle to end - hop out the core A team players and leave behind ninja hackers to make sure the district flips or is kept.
the sheer logistics and work put in puts everything done in the past year to shame. |

Most powerful people in Dust? Currently? I have no idea lol only been back a few days. Most corps/alliances would be rolled over by the alliances of old, EoN, Cronos imo are the two strongest alliances to ever grace Dust, Mav/cubs/eugene/lordchaos/sha/traky78 all powerful leaders, people who wouldn't give up, didn't stop until they got what they wanted.

Perhaps biased because I was in TeamPlayers but here goes:
Cubs was the most powerful...When I perceived Cubs started letting Kane make the meta decisions (and THAT was crazy for me to watch) then Kane was.
I think Mavado was the alliance leader, but when HS attacked EoN. it was Cubs who sent the messages to Kujo. When OH attacked and subsequently learned that their flaylock spam was insufficient...it was Cubs who negotiated them coming into EoN.
AE leadership (Kujo indisputably made HS go, but AE was a different animal. Soul and others stepped up and he wasn't the only one steering that ship.
I think Sha was a super powerful leader. I think Mavado was a very powerful leader. Back in the day I think Quick was a very powerful leader.
I never knew the Zitro's extensively. I only met them after the fact and only squadded with them a handful of times while they played. But my perception is that they managed to keep a bunch of leaders like PDiggy22 together and satisfied. To keep that many leaders and ego's and for it to function? That's some charisma.
I think for all my issues with his decision making Radar kept his family together for the most part, and a powerful family it is/was. No one can deny the bonds that tied people like Blitz and Tibs and Guy.
When I was forming FA I wanted FA to be between the sizes of TP (small) and AE (larger). I wanted the drive I felt in TP. The expectation that TP embodied. Cubs expected us to show up...and we did. Someone once said "I don't get how you guys can be there every time with such consistency" we literally had like like 10 10 who rotated about 4-5 positions but the same 10 were here every single night in our prime.
I remember beating in SyN in the tourney and Mavado being disappointed his best guys chose not to log in. I remember certain TP members refusing to log on for the tourney final for w/e reason and realizing it just wasn't the same.
I saw people who formed communities that were so amazingly loyal and inspired loyalty.
I'm so grateful for loyalty from people like Skeletor, Ken, Himiko, and so many others like Lags and Devin.
In a game that so often watches droves leave STB or KEQ or so may other places...sticking around and forgiving and being humble and growing and being willing to accept imperfect people (especially me) has been such a blessing.
Look at RND man. Look at the loyalty leaders like Dubbs inspire. I was never a leader man. I got on dust and had no idea that this game could afford you these types of opportunities if you have the time and will to make it so.
it's a fascinating game.
It's still surreal sometimes. Like here's a prime comment for me to get trolled about so feel free I'm giving it to you free but think
Sure there are others who are much more qualified to be CPM instead of myself, but the fact that I managed to get like 150 people to vote for me among a few other people who absolutely could have been great CPM's (looking at Pokey particularly) and that's just the ones that the system counted if you know how it works.
It's actually very humbling. And weird.
Because of how intimately i've always relied on others to help me make decisions (Himiko and Black Art at first, Ken and people like Xero, and then people like Skeletor and Lags and Devin still later) I don't think I qualify as being particularly powerful. The only time I felt powerful as a leader was when in my absence **** went to pieces and then I'd come back and feel like the ship got righted and we'd start acting like ourselves again.
Thankfully though those days have passed.
Loyalty is the most sought after thing in dust. If you can maintain a competitive mindset and yet never consider leaving when your clan gets **** on...welcome to the club. TP did it, AE did it, FA did it, OH did it..and others before PC was released.
It's the ones that ragequit when they start losing that are dissatisfying.
And inasmuch as leadership is tied to keeping their troops around when **** gets hard...props to those leaders.
Just my thoughts.
Really interesting topic Silver!

I only met them after the fact and only squadded with them a handful of times while they played. But my perception is that they managed to keep a bunch of leaders like PDiggy22 together and satisfied. To keep that many leaders and ego's and for it to function? That's some charisma. I think for all my issues with his decision making Radar kept his family together for the most part, and a powerful family it is/was. No one can deny the bonds that tied people like Blitz and Tibs and Guy. When I was forming FA I wanted FA to be between the sizes of TP (small) and AE (larger). I wanted the drive I felt in TP. The expectation that TP embodied. Cubs expected us to show up...and we did. Someone once said "I don't get how you guys can be there every time with such consistency" we literally had like like 10 10 who rotated about 4-5 positions but the same 10 were here every single night in our prime. I remember beating in SyN in the tourney and Mavado being disappointed his best guys chose not to log in. I remember certain TP members refusing to log on for the tourney final for w/e reason and realizing it just wasn't the same. I saw people who formed communities that were so amazingly loyal and inspired loyalty. I'm so grateful for loyalty from people like Skeletor, Ken, Himiko, and so many others like Lags and Devin. In a game that so often watches droves leave STB or KEQ or so may other places...sticking around and forgiving and being humble and growing and being willing to accept imperfect people (especially me) has been such a blessing. Look at RND man. Look at the loyalty leaders like Dubbs inspire. I was never a leader man. I got on dust and had no idea that this game could afford you these types of opportunities if you have the time and will to make it so. it's a fascinating game. It's still surreal sometimes. Like here's a prime comment for me to get trolled about so feel free I'm giving it to you free but think Sure there are others who are much more qualified to be CPM instead of myself, but the fact that I managed to get like 150 people to vote for me among a few other people who absolutely could have been great CPM's (looking at Pokey particularly) and that's just the ones that the system counted if you know how it works. It's actually very humbling. And weird. Because of how intimately i've always relied on others to help me make decisions (Himiko and Black Art at first, Ken and people like Xero, and then people like Skeletor and Lags and Devin still later) I don't think I qualify as being particularly powerful. The only time I felt powerful as a leader was when in my absence **** went to pieces and then I'd come back and feel like the ship got righted and we'd start acting like ourselves again. Thankfully though those days have passed. Loyalty is the most sought after thing in dust. If you can maintain a competitive mindset and yet never consider leaving when your clan gets **** on...welcome to the club. TP did it, AE did it, FA did it, OH did it..and others before PC was released. It's the ones that ragequit when they start losing that are dissatisfying. And inasmuch as leadership is tied to keeping their troops around when **** gets hard...props to those leaders. Just my thoughts. Really interesting topic Silver!
Thanks man, and thank you for that extremely detailed response. I really appreciate that effort.

Djinn Kujo, hands down, was the most powerful merc in dust history. I realized this when I witnessed him turn enemies into allies not once but 3 times! Now, I don't know if it was Kujo or someone representing for AE. But if it was Kujo each time, then he would get my vote.
A very close second would be Cubs, hands down. There was a time where if you wanted something in MH, Cubs was the man to talk to. Not to mention that he commanded one of MH's best corps ever. Retired and came back and commanded one of the best teams ever. To be able to leave and come back like he did is reminiscent of Michael Jordan.
After those two is everyone else, tbh.

Please do, Im all ears.
Well, my position stands as far as who were the most powerful/influential.
But I will list some noted leaders, in my eyes, and why:
Sha Kharn Clone: when pc started and prior to, he was probably the guy you wanted to talk to if you had any business with the EU region. If you wanted to join a corp, if you wanted safety, wanted to join an alliance, etc, Sha was the guy you needed to speak to. Not sure why SI isn't considered one of the best but in their prime, Sha lead a powerful corp and alliance in their heyday.
Mavado: built EoN..nuff said
Zatara Rought: Even if you don't like Z, you have to give him respect for what he's done with FA. He took players that corps were passing over and built one of the strongest corps that this game has seen. Because of FA, players like dwater, palatinate, Ken, Jenova, etc became names that you had to respect. I remember Zatara being a guy that you had to cross paths with if you wanted a foothold in MH. Whether you wanted to align with FA or whether you were worried that they would attack, they were a major presence. So, Z should definitely get recognition as far as powerful people in Dust whether you like him or not.
People mention the Zitros but they weren't in pc long enough to have a lasting effect. Sure, at the start of pc, the Imperfects was a corp to fear but then they left before they made a real impact.

Good times tbf
If you're going to put Cronos in there then you can't leave out NF
I think Shepards comment comes into play here.
Back then a decent chunk of the playerbase was participating in PC. Those mentioned were all strong and would be today, but I think individually there are far more players capable of competing with them. The difference is the type of players that participated in the beta. More of those players in those days were willing to put the time in to accomplish the things they accomplished.
But CCP never developed the organizational and logistical interfaces to bring in more of the playerbase. At this stage of the game I don't think there are enough people willing to do the things outside of the game to pull off what they did.
But from an individual player perspective I think there are a ton of players out there that are just not interested in PC or even squading up. If the PC changes coming are good and also include some other form of team deploy I think PC could get very competitive over the months.
I wish my avatar was Minmatar.

tbh, old NF probably has had the most talent in one corp/alliance than any other organization that this game has seen. I remember the players in Internal Error and Imperfects. They could have fielded 16 beast shooters and more. Not a squad of beasts and then fillers...but 16 beast shooters! Sp wouldn't have mattered a great deal.

I was referring to when NF helped AE and then when OH and FA helped AE
Yeah honestly I'd give props to Kane for those.
When NF betrayed FA it was his decision and plan to go to AE from my understanding. Kane approached AE.
This forced us into a position. Man, I already had immense respect for Kujo and -especially- Soul. There were some trash talkers that got on some nerves, but FA always respected AE for being one family, one flag....where NF was whatever best ringer they could hire...that's their team. Such a departure from TP culture of rarely if ever using ringers (unless we were seriously understaffed or wanted to recruit them...see Sponge and Revoltz). I never liked Cubs after the way we parted ways and the antagonistic ego-fueled interactions we had. (not that i'm guilt-less at all, we both **** on any real opportunity to put behind the aftermath of my decision not to return to TP after Reg went to PS4 and I took the guys I had recruited to form FA)
So I feel like Kane more that Kujo was the driver of those decisions. Unless I'm mistaken he was the driving force for allowing AE to hire them. And he was obviously the reason I was put into a position where instead of fighting AE (because they persecuted FA much the same way TP persecuted AE when they created it and because they'd been the 'top dog' since TP and indeed EoN. as a whole left the game) I was left with little choice but to help AE in leaking NF's plans to destroy AE.
The other thing that has to be considered is the situation. Would NF have sided with AE if FA didn't exist? Would AE have sided with NF if NF and FA hadn't been beating the **** out of them?
Whenever there's three powers, inevitably 2 will overpower one.
Just jealousy and pride from NF that really tore it up. (They knew we'd have matched AE isk if they'd asked...they were just butthurt about stupid **** like the fact we'd been offered contracts to take out AE for 2 billion and the allure of spiting us was something I never predicted. They can say otherwise but that's honestly how it was perceived. I was plain stupid and didn't think of the consequences of being a little **** concerning my undercutting of their district service. (See where I SERIOUSLY gave them a heart attack because FA offered to give districts away for base cost (like 50-100m) as opposed to their MUCH higher pricing (200% plus).
I know they were mad about how we were extorting them on prices for providing Eve support and then they were mad when we had 2 many fights to accomodate them (they lost to AE a few times when they didn't have Eve support...this being another small reason why I think in the long run some were concerned that helping us defeat AE would spell the end for them...as you saw how the meta rolled out in here (anyone remember Sota's "snakes on a plane" alt?) when AE and FA worked together on a separate contract to beat NF soundly on a defense on the district I gave OH to get them back into PC. (only for them to be prideful and refuse help and get kicked out of PC again for another 3 months)
I've gotten way off topic here, but suffice it to say that when there are 3 powers. 2 will inevitably work to destroy the third.
I think Kane deserves more credit personally because I remember reading in the chats so often how Cubs would come in and Kane would smooth his concerns out.
It was just FLABBERGASTING. Inexplicable.
This was the guy that stubbornly said something...and it was done. over. No more questions.
And here was Kane just setting the goals and ironing out the details like Cubs was a child.
I'm not dissing on Cubs, I'm just giving props to Kane man. The dude's meta was the best.
I never felt like I was fighting Cubs when I was meta'ing against NF...it was Kane and Fiddle and Sota man. and maybe a little Beers but I think Kane was the real deal.
SMH, Kane beat me fair and square in the metagaming.
But it was never personal. When I met Kane at FF we were pals. He bought me breakfast man.
And that made the decision to betray him absolutely gutwrenching. For a long moment I seriously had 2nd thoughts..this isn't something anyone ever knew but maybe Ken and a few others I confided in...but w/e now you all know.
I was on a bus back to the States and a friend told me to betray DNS. I was so disoriented that morning (for numerous reasons)..but I never really looked back after he told me to attack them.
Wow I am going to get trolled for all the juicy **** I put in here.
Writing posts that give me nostalgia (I'd have never left and FA would never have happened if Imagio and Hightimes and Xero and everyone like the twins hadn't quit ) is like prinkles..once you pop the fun don't stop.

Dude there are literally entire corps of beasts that would command respect at the drop of their name if they hadn't quit because they were languishing in corps bored out of their minds but their respective corps refused or were simply incapable of giving them the content they needed to actually enjoy dust.
So many beasts have quit this game when they should have been more.
And the only thing stopping them was their leadership refusing to enable them to get the content they craved and deserved.
It's a funny paradox..I respect individual players who have loyalty to their tags, and yet have nothing but contempt for leadership that does little to nothing to enable them.
Watching players who fit this description leave dust has been the sickest feeling i've endured while playing dust.

Well, then my vote would have to go to Cubs for being the most powerful then. Throughout the whole NF ordeal, I believe if Cubs wanted something done, it was done. If he didn't want something done, it wasn't done. Other times, I believe that he was just indifferent and it didn't matter to him either way.
Kane definitely didn't have Cubs on a string. If you remember, he wanted to take a seat back from the logistics. He may not have agreed with all that Kane may have done but if it wasn't a big deal to him, I don't think that he fought it.
I definitely give Kane props for being really influential. He has changed the landscape and direction of pc and MH more than once. But Cubs still has him beat as most powerful.

This is where we disagree.
I mean take this quote from a chat you were in:
[3/14/14 2:27:34 PM] CUBS: there a lots of things that have been at play that neither of us are in the loop on [3/14/14 2:27:36 PM] Zatara Rought: it's not us... [3/14/14 2:27:50 PM] Zatara Rought: it's the **** between Tso's and Kane [3/14/14 2:27:54 PM] CUBS: im aware of some of it, but even I get the feeling there is something else that im not in on.
Or messages like this:
[3/31/14 12:57:49 PM] CUBS: i dont see that at all [3/31/14 12:58:07 PM] Kane Spero: Cubs you are going to have to trust me on this [3/31/14 1:00:11 PM] CUBS: I DO trust you, but here we are once again with a move leaving many people scratching their heads [3/31/14 1:00:22 PM] CUBS: and THEY are the reason YOU have the power
There's like a **** ton of gems like this....so many times where Kane just made decisions to the ire of Cubs, Fiddle, you, myself...everyone. And no one really ever put the foot down.
Remember DNS black's idea for a tv show??? OMG lmao.
I gotta stop here, but I can see where you're coming from and you're probably right.
I just saw stuff differently, probably biased a bit. Just a little you know? ;D

Those messages doesn't mean that he had cubs on a string, though. All of those mean that Kane was acting on his own, which he could have because he was the leader of the alliance and had the connections. If and when Cubs decided to step in, he did. You also have to realize that ERA was ERA because of Cubs. If cubs walks away, it's over.

Kain definitely has a head for the meta. But I would say as an inside source working side by side with Kain and Cubs that it was Cubs who actually had the upper hand in everything.
Everything Kain did was quite literally for Cubs. There would of been no DNS if Cubs hadn't made it a do or die for his participation in NF. Which is why I originally made contact with Tso - but Kain and Tso made things personal and it blew up in my face.
So Kain got DNS support - and we all saw where that went. It wasn't so much Kain having amazing Meta game - then it was that the pieces on the board just came together so well for what NF was trying to accomplish.
Cubs was the real head of Negative-Feedback during ERA's reign, and Kain the face. Kain was also the main decision maker for alliance wide decisions - but Cubs was the reason it all stayed together.
They were a great duo.

The leadership in AE was something I had never seen before. It seemed like no one person ever made a decision. There was Soul/Kujo of course but then you had Doc/Steel/Rampy and others that would contribute. Meetings would be so much fun because we would just attack someone for something as simple as a "gg" lol...good stuff. I miss those guys!

They were a great duo.
Eve support was a HUGE factor in our decision making at the time. Probably priority #1. While Kane did make the AE contract decision on his own, the ultimate goal was to obtain support of our own at some point in the (hopefully near) future. I give Kane a lot of credit: There was a very real chance that we could have been annihilated immediately at that point and he was able to turn it into initiative (There are other people to thank and reasons why things had to be done in a certain way, but I prefer to not get too deep into them).

Kain definitely has a head for the meta. But I would say as an inside source working side by side with Kain and Cubs that it was Cubs who actually had the upper hand in everything.
Everything Kain did was quite literally for Cubs. There would of been no DNS if Cubs hadn't made it a do or die for his participation in NF. Which is why I originally made contact with Tso - but Kain and Tso made things personal and it blew up in my face.
So Kain got DNS support - and we all saw where that went. It wasn't so much Kain having amazing Meta game - then it was that the pieces on the board just came together so well for what NF was trying to accomplish.
Cubs was the real head of Negative-Feedback during ERA's reign, and Kain the face. Kain was also the main decision maker for alliance wide decisions - but Cubs was the reason it all stayed together.
They were a great duo.
Eve support was a HUGE factor in our decision making at the time. Probably priority #1. While Kane did make the AE contract decision on his own, the ultimate goal was to obtain support of our own at some point in the (hopefully near) future. I give Kane a lot of credit: There was a very real chance that we could have been annihilated immediately at that point and he was able to turn it into initiative (There are other people to thank and reasons why things had to be done in a certain way, but I prefer to not get too deep into them). Ultimately however, the core of the organization followed Cubs and it was up to Kane to convince Cubs for anything really to happen... Even after Cubs quit playing. Nobody else had the respect as a player/FC/manager. I always tried to tread as lightly around the players as possible. No one wants to hear the MD speed build guy try to tell them what to do.
I've been covertly trying to say that :).
Now, that I hear that AE's decisions and deals weren't done by one person solely, I have to give most powerful award to Cubs. Only reason I was giving it to AE because I think being able to turn enemies into friends whenever you need them to be is worthy of respect.
But since no one man did that....no one man could get the vote. I don't can't remember a time where Cubs was active and you didn't have to go through him one way or another.

Looking back at things I can't help but wonder why certain corps didn't just man up in the whole DNS deal.
FA fought down till the last few districts.
Why did AE just bow to Kane and let him swoop them into DNS?
If I was AE I would have just knuckled under and pushed back.
Unfortunately for FA, this left us in the 2v1 situation which meant we were going to be done at a certain point of time.
Regardless of the history behind it all, the times playing PC against NF and AE were the most fun for me.
Other corps like Nyain, DDB, Pradox, KEQ, etc seemed like practice matches inbetween NF and AE matches at the time.

Kane had proved he could beat AE with FA's help.
He had proved he could beat FA with AE's help.
AE and FA had some deep beef with each other that would be hard to iron out.
Kujo had no choice but to join DNS, otherwise he would have lost his districts.
Kujo took Kane at his word that NF was purely a merc alliance and that Kane was working for him. Also, by the time AE learned that FA was joining DNS AE was already in DNS.
Just some all around smart maneuvering from Kane in the short term. Not so good in the long run.

You have to remember that a good amount o AE came from the Imp/IE group.
But judging from what I perceived, I don't think the Imps had AE's teamwork. But again, it was early in pc where everyone was still learning what's best. Imps' roster was bested by noone in Dust ever. They could have filled 2 squads with 7 KDR players easy. If the Imps would have adapted and learned teamwork to go with their raw talent, Imps would have won that war.

There's a fair bit of history coalescing in this thread, so it's appropriate to drop this here.
Quote:2014.03.14 17:39 RA has hired us. From: XXXX To: DNSBLACK
I think last time we talked you mentioned you were aligned with RA, which put a damper on the possibility of joint ops.
Well, RA got tired of us taking(and selling) their land, so they have hired us to fight along side them.
While I think this is bad for the health of the game in the medium-term (as we can field the best team, and RA can field the 2nd best team), this will provide targets in Molden Heath since the lesser corps will likely be combining their eve forces to oppose us.
Keep an eye on the skies for small-gang fights from tonight onwards, and I'll feed you any solid information I can get on potential targets. The main implication of this is that the DNS Dust entity didn't really exist until after AE hired TEAM/ERA.

Dude there are literally entire corps of beasts that would command respect at the drop of their name if they hadn't quit because they were languishing in corps bored out of their minds but their respective corps refused or were simply incapable of giving them the content they needed to actually enjoy dust. So many beasts have quit this game when they should have been more. And the only thing stopping them was their leadership refusing to enable them to get the content they craved and deserved. It's a funny paradox..I respect individual players who have loyalty to their tags, and yet have nothing but contempt for leadership that does little to nothing to enable them. Watching players who fit this description leave dust has been the sickest feeling i've endured while playing dust. I'll be back as soon as PC gets interesting again, I miss the 3 big honchos going at it. Reminded me of historical events. But if you really, really need me zatata, I will be back to serve the crown again immediately!! :D

Agree mostly Dubbs, but I have little doubt who would have been winner in that. We almost beat Imp's A squad with a thrown together team(STB&Friends vs Imps match 3 of the day). Granted, there were a lot of really solid players on that thrown together team, but you would expect a little more from guys of that caliber who had been playing together for a few months. Imps had incredible pure talent for sure, but post-1.4ish AE would have smacked them silly. |

I had the chance to play against them when they were trying to push STB out the first time. We beat a team they sent out in one of the matches. Lo' and behold, the bat signal got sent out and the next match was against their A team. If I was doing the roster for them, I might have replaced 1-2 guys (If the criteria was "Pure Talent"). 10-12 of them had TAC ARs... It was a sight to see. Came down to one tick of armor(It appeared to both sides that imps had no armor left, couldn't have been any closer). The biggest takeaway was that their most talented team almost lost to a ringer squad. Admittedly, it was a pretty talented ringer squad, but if I made the cut, then it was certainly no all-star team...
Point being: most of the teams that still play now-a-day would probably wipe the floor with imps as they existed then. They were operationally exceptional and above average in small group tactics, but relied on those advantages too heavily and never developed much strategic depth. |

If only Imps used equipment. It was like they handicapped themselves in PC. I can't recall a single game where we ever used more then 3 links at one given time.
But the one match I was in vs TP *I wasn't in the games vs STB - I had taken a break from PC at that point, way too many matches for absolutely no ******* pay* I remember how absolutely shocked most of us were that we spent as much time killing links as we did holding points.
if Imps used any real strategy rather then "heavies do this, slayers do this, logi's do this, and if you suck we're going to rage at the end of the match." you might change your opinion on how capable they are when they finally come together coherently.
Every match Imps had was quite literally us yelling at each other to git good - and it somehow working, lol.

It was more like this:
1) We were smashing AE pretty reliably. 2) We started waking up early to smash Nyan San reliably. 3) Tired of being smashed, they paid/hired us. 4) The hiring removed a barrier for DNS and the N-F corps to work together. 5) Logistics mandated that corps join DNS to receive orbital support 6) Some realization was made that under this uneasy truce, N-F and AE could trample the whole map.
After that, things spiraled out of control.

You forget to say DNSblack was the one that said get 100%, fiddle did a good job getting attacks on those districts that were locked He said a lot of things. That was just about the only one that was seized upon. |

We were missing Kono(Who was a big part of our earlier win), but did have quite a few 'best in class' players.
Point being: most of the teams that still play now-a-day would probably wipe the floor with imps as they existed then. They were operationally exceptional and above average in small group tactics, but relied on those advantages too heavily and never developed much strategic depth.
I remember those matches, I was in both of those matches, I believe.
But I remember it was early in the pc days and we were still learning and trying to find our way. I believe that the Imps would have adjusted enough to dominate. I believe this because I look at some of the Imps like Regnyum who dominate pcs in every change of playstyle.
They were never really tested in pc, prior to those first STB battles. They crippled Orion alliance so they must have took it for granted. But I think if they were going hard and wanted to compete, I'm sure they would have made the proper adjustments. Because to be talented as an fps player requires some sort of intelligence. And to have that much talent in their ranks would require on par teamwork to beat most if not all teams on a consistent basis.

But to be fair.....they did almost lose to The Generals (no disrespect to GEN) so maybe having all of that talent would have been toxic for them.

lol, fast forward to the scoreboard at the end of this game and look at the roster. The worst player on that team was probably Caeli or Markof22. And that says a lot because they both were really good players. From 1-16 were beasts..guys you did not want to come across.
But for you new cats....Calamity and Annie were the beasts that beasts were afraid of. Way before there was a cloak and hit detection to shotgun was improved.

The sheer level of talent in that game is astounding. I don't think there are many teams that could take Annie and Jane plus Jesse Jayne and Grimmiers and they all went heavy negative. Classic imps were a force to be reckoned with but if you watch the full video they almost lost. I thought they were gonna lose until the screen turned to victory. Goes to show what some organization can do for a team. Re-Flex sniping the entire match, smh. He probably has my vote for best ever dust player, and seems to have done well for himself that match but you get enough people doing that and you can't hold letters.

Jane and annie were absolute beasts...I still think lightning is the best shotgunner the game ever has had. But he never was in high level PC's that I can recall...the early days of PC I was in KEQ and we took some smashings lol

To me, The game felt much more alive back then. Back then, I used to play 10 times more PCs than Pubs. I had a lot of fun fighting Cubs. If his original plan was going to hell in a hand basket, He'd always manage to flip the table or he'd lose but by a minor fraction.
& Ace -- I've never been apart of 0.H's core leadership except as their vehicle commander & I was, Technically speaking, Their "Shrink". I'd always talk to Rei, Radar, Tibs, Guy, Blitz, Musturd, Rex, or Templar about problems they're having or just trying to smooth things out. Spin control, Basically.
Other than 0.H, The only dealings I feel may be note worthy is Imperious & I forming Pandemonium (PD301). Heck, Maybe if I can get Imperious playing again -- We'd form it back. I had a lot of fun making those projects.

I remember that fight against Generals. I screwed up sending clones and only 100 landed on the district from Hrober attacking Aedald. You have to believe I was careful about clone jumps from then on. Of course most NF combat directors hated to wait for district regen, so it was mainly attacks with clone packs.
With the current clone loss geography doesn't really matter in PC anymore.
On topic I will say that Cubs was by far the most talented combat director I ever had the pleasure to work with and hands down the best FC in Dust. His ability to manage people and personalities in and out of battle was unparalleled. It's just a shame it took so long to bring him into NF. You can have the best meta in the world but if you don't have people that can get it done on the ground it doesn't matter.
In regard to Kujo, you have to remember that AE was created in order to try and keep NF alive after many, if not most, OG Imps quit Dust after checking off their bucket lists of people they wanted to smash from closed beta. 13ear and I picked Kujo to be the CEO of the new 'elite' corp, I came up with the name Ancient Exiles, and then the rest is history.
The unsung people in a lot of threads like these are the logistics people behind the scenes that kept these corps running. The Himiko's, Zaria's, Fiddle's, Gunner's, Sota's, Steeldark's, and countless others that keep the wheels in PC from coming to a grinding halt. Any leader that thinks he can truly manage an organization by himself is a fool.

Agree with this wholeheartedly...a ceo is nothing without his directors. One man simply can't do it all, and to have a cabinet of personalities adds an unfamed dimension to leadership. I love when my leaders disagree with my opinion, without that cross examination one will never make sound decisions. The most powerful people in dust are the guys you will never list or know, the guys that...damn, kept me playing when I wanted to give it all up. Cheers to them, the stage crew of our grand orchestra. |

He pretty much single-handedly throtted our high-ground, tankers, other ADS and slaughtered our infantry. And it was damn near impossible to take him out of the sky unless using a forge gun. He is pretty much what made us realize AV is absolutely necessary to win. This was right before ERA. lol. I realized that ERA gave the biggest paychecks so I pretty much unofficially became permanently contracted to them. But before them it was first come first serve.

Agree mostly Dubbs, but I have little doubt who would have been winner in that. We almost beat Imp's A squad with a thrown together team(STB&Friends vs Imps match 3 of the day). Granted, there were a lot of really solid players on that thrown together team, but you would expect a little more from guys of that caliber who had been playing together for a few months. Imps had incredible pure talent for sure, but post-1.4ish AE would have smacked them silly.

Cubs, AO, and CJ swapped back and forth between the two outside points. Gave them fits. Our dropship got shot down on the way in, instantkilled everyone, and we were never able to get a solid foothold in the city. I ended up getting ganked by TAC ARs trying to get links into good spots over and over :/. And yes, footage exists for all three of the matches that day, courtesy of pdiggy. Match 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcv7nmyYNF4 Match 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJRTzkJ_Gs4 (Me with a positive K/D in a PC! :D) Match 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4PsL8DWKmI |

I don't like to comment our my guys' achievements but jeez lol Kono was a huge part of the second win. Probably would have won the third one if he was there. If anyone was 15/16 it was me and quickgloves! |

so much BullSh*t in this thread, let me do some clean up.
*Ahem*
AE was getting about 19 battles a day, from both FA and ERA, while we were winning about 40% of the battles alone with locking, it simply wasn't enough. We were getting tired of getting on from 6 to 6 sometimes later to fight these battles that seem almost hopeless. It didn't feel good having little to no allies. FA/ERA had EvE support which at the time RA had about 7 dedicated pilots who were on sparatically so EvE was not an option.
at this point we were in a place we were almost going to fold. However, we liked our isk. we were still making around 120m a player at the time which was a nice steady flow of cash, and it payed for our other gaming habits, which was a luxury we weren't ready to give up. This was where things became complicated. Kujo being a very busy man wasn't able to show up much and that meant morale over all was low.
This was when the snake known as kane approached i believe steeldark with an offer. 2 billion isk for them to be on our side rather than FA's. What did this mean exactly? well, it meant that about 9 of the attacks that were going on daily, were now FAs problem to deal with. Now it was time to play aggressive. FA was locking their districts at the time as well and we had no spies there at the time so it was very hard to attack them. With this being said, we did have spies in other places. Every other corp in GTA, for example. So we did what is only logical, we spammed and took all of their districts leaving GTA bone dry cept for FA.
While we regained our morale and strength we had ERA basically distract FA.
the funny thing is? THEY LOST 99% OF THOSE BATTLES
we paid 2 billion isk to a corp that couldn't flip a single district.
Now for DNS. About a month into Renegade being formed we had an EvE corporation leave called "Vengeance Inc." They left with a promise. They went to DNS saying they were all about PvP and once they laid the ground work we would be in, as at the time everyone suspected an EvE/Dust tournament which as everyone knows got AE. harder then a virgin f*cking jessica alba. Now here comes the kicker. Kane Spero and DNSBlack turned out to be buddies IRL, and when kane reached out for us to join, we were not extatic. We were pissed. They stole what was rightfully ours and with the tournament on the line there was NO WAY we were letting kane have our in. so we complied.
As for the ****** who said we did this betraying Renegade, you have NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL YOUR TALKING ABOUT. literally, EVERYONE in renegade came to DNS that includes Dust and EvE side. My proof of this? Look at GTA. once DNS fell apart everyone from renegade went to GTA together ONCE AGAIN. We at AE. believe that friends are the most valuable resource in this game. Which is why every war we've ever been in we've won. We never burned bridges. Kujo taught me that.
Now for the icing on the cake. the FA battles.
At the time, FA was a corp that on their own wasn't very scary. FA HAS NEVER BEEN A CORP WHO FIELDS THEIR OWN 16.
on the rare occasions where it was 16 FA vs 16 AE we won every time. no question about it. Where the real problems came in, were when FA got their little "A-Team" Together. That was when they hired people like blitz and tibs from 0.H to carry them.
However, FA was not alone in this. You all know ERA and their famous "Were the best team ever lulz"
no. gtfo. You guys couldn't beat us 16v16 even if we were blindfolded.
You guys want to know why AE was the best most respected corp in the game? its because no matter what day in day out, if we had 16 players in corp chat, willing to play, we had 16 ******* with AE tags in the battle. The ONLY exception for this was 2 people. Rexero from 0uter.Heaven because i like his voice, it makes me laugh and made soul horny. And ReGnYuM from Imp/TP/ERA, for the sole reason that kalante liked him and kujo liked making fun of him.
AE. was never the enemy guys. All we did was try to expose the corrupt nature of molden heath and the corps inside it that all of you relied on.
Throughout it all, we kept our dignity, our honor, our pride, and our egos. These people are trying to throw dirt on our shiny name because we are all gone and cannot defend ourselves, But look around. At the end of the day. ERA came to us with the deal and got CARRIED by us all throughout DNS. They hired our members for almost every battle because of the simple fact that THEY CAN'T WIN WITHOUT GETTING CARRIED.
FA approached us with the idea of us joining GTA and taking out DNS. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. pull the veil from these lies. as the truth is right under your noses. That is all.

lol Rampage calls bullshit then claims AE won 99% of there battles.
In truth, both FA and ERA were beating AE consistently, which is why allying with NF *Stop calling it ERA* vs FA was an easy choice for them - because they'd be in trouble otherwise, lol.

Interesting read. I'll correct 1 point and leave the rest for others to fight. It was not Kane that got everyone into DNS. Yes he did jump at the opportunity to get on board. It was the leader of Renegade Alliance. Eatsbabies.
Even tho yas didn't like me much in AE on dust. I was a big part of your eve support. So I was in the loop. He made the call to merge into DNS. Not Kane.
Other then that. Carry on with the argument. Should log on some time rampage.

*ahem*
yes, this was true, and im glad that i mean so much to you that you took the time to read all of the messages between me and you just to make this 2 second post. Now for the kicker, you weren't even playing dust during this period, and the era you were talking about was when you had the godliest of ringers, OSGR Valdez (miss this guy)
on top of him you also had a very good slayer squad and cubs who was the best FC at the time on your side, All of this being said it was still about a 50/50 split between us, this was with us not having marauder anymore, and everyone knows that without marauder there, it isnt an A-team.

this is probably why your corp will always be irrelevant. While Soul was an amazing FC, every good corp has a hype man, i was the hype man for AE, cubs was the hype man for TP/ERA, and Zatara for FA, Rexero for 0.H(or at least he used to be). to be honest, the only way to build the essential momentum it takes to win a battle is that hype.
man, i should make like an FC school or something.
