It took until our "What the French run" to be taken seriously, but after that point, our group had decent sway with movado. The stb vs imps matches probably helped too. Anyone in TP( at the time) could tell the whole story; that's the kind of outfit we were running.
Regardless, I have a bit of knowledge about a few significant events. Amongst the people who still pop in, I'd say Zatara alone is more familiar with the EoN. War(Zat was always the favored link runner), and Sota and Kane with DNS donut. If someone is making an effort to compile The History of Dust, I am here to help. TP's rise to power could be an interesting tell. TeamPlayers is the probably the most interesting of them all, imo. TP was one of the most dominant forces seen in MH. What separates TP from every other dominant corp is that you never hear any of their places mentioned in most of the greatest of all times lists. I know some of the guys that are frequently listed joined TP at one time or another but that may have been after TP had established their mark. TP not mentioned as the GOAT? are you smoking some kinda new just dubbs? No one who knows wtf they are talking about would argue TP is the GOAT in PC history. TP is still the GOAT in my book. AE would place 2nd. I personally think FA is third all time with OH 4th. And EoN followed by NF with DNS excluded for obvious reasons are the greatest alliances of PC history. Renegade and TSO is actually more of a toss up in my book. For three months, we were four/ five capping Everyone In The Game. After about eighty straight victories( The Streak) we lost a game or two to hellstorm. After that, we attacked and won out against them until they weren't competitive anymore. It was another two or three months before AE could field a decent team. We certainly weren't the most purely talented team. We just had 14 consistent members, good strategic understanding of the game, good leadership, and we all played our roles. Our slayers were vastly underrated until we pulled Reg in. Our heavies did exactly what they needed to do to win. We had no scouts( as was the style that year) and our logis were second to none. I liked working with Zat a lot back then. We were almost always on the same page( he was always on the same page in much too many words though!). DDD played the same idea, but filled the team AV role as well. Zdubs learned quickly and played a strategically sound game, as well as being emotionally centered. Couldn't have asked for a better crew.
You're forgetting one thing, we had a ******* blast! "Yiiiiiippppp" *cubs voice*

TP was and Imps and hell even AE/OH were already gone and or changing/losing players when alot of people and corps rose up in this game. Saying 1 team was the best just because they were the first is not an argument you will ever win.
The Toronto Maple Leafs or the 20s were considered amazing...but would be crushed by the Maple Leafs of 2015...even tho the 2015 ML get crushed by everyone else.
Although TP was good I believe there are tones of players and teams out there now that would easily slaughter them.
Why? Because now there are more organizers and FCS. Only reason imps were good was they had people leading them in a focused direction while most other corps at the time just wanted to play a fun shooting video game.
Make sense?
The game is a piece of **** now compared to what it was lmao... These teams all played in different times. You can't translate what teams are capable of from different periods. I'd strictly consider who dominated for the longest time and who was dominate against the most competitive player base! Aka teamplayers niggeeeee

It's kind of sad, all of these pages are a prime example of how much we loved dust... Now this game is only a little more than a memory tbh (atleast for me)

Ari's glitch sealed the deal for a lot of people refusing to get on (think it was more of an excuse to quit) Getting raped by Ari was super frustrating and I was very conflicted about it, like heartburn mang. I felt loyalty to TP and didn't like the glitch. And yet at the same time I was the only one who vouched for Ari when he sent his app in and I tried desperately to convince Cubs that Ari was a beast waiting to happen....and I knew we had no ground to stand on when it came to Ari using the glitch because Ari admitted his inspiration was the shotgun twins and fiddle. I knew Ari like week 2 in beta when he was in A.I. But ya know it's sad history. 
It wouldn't of mattered really, we shat on people regardless.

FTFY And I have no qualms about it. Everyone has lull's in activity. "KEQ" still 5 capping FA these days?  It's a sprint not a race and when beating a corp on it's last leg using majority ringers is the shining achievement...lol I guess even a blind squirrel get a nut every now and then. Doesn't change the years of emotional damage that lead to such underwhelming bragging rights. I 5 capped KEQ along with 5 TP. I don't see any ringers in that picture just FA getting bent.
I've never seen anything of you but just you pouting on the forums
