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.

Everyone here would disagree, we want to play Dust, it's just kinda unplayable right now.

We're PC players, pubs frustrate us, players not giving there all and acting they're a part of our cut throat universe takes us out of the experience, which si why we treat them like peasants.

And right now PC lags out, doesn't start, and is just plain broken. I doubt there's even 2 active PCing corps right now daily.

If the PC servers ever got fixed, a lot of us would hop back on to melt faces once again, but that lag is UNBEARABLE.

GD is really pissing me off with this ****.

They don't want EVE: The FPS.

The want COD: EVE.

Lets make everyone a winner!

I enjoy playing Plants VS. Zombies and Supermarket Mania on my "phone" more than I do DUST.

Arma is love.

Arma is life.

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.

It would be interesting to see who would win between old school teams and new teams. 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?

Bending me over? When did that happen. I've been here since the start. I saw the rise and fall of everyone IMPS were around for how long? TP for how long?

All depends when you played. STB even at one point had an elite PC team. Hell I'd wager their early team could beat most of the ones still around. They had talent.

Oh well. Those were the glory days. Now games filled with kids and punks. Who complain about literally everything. Yet everything they currently have is exactly what we were begging for back in yhe day lol

Pass me that dementia medicine, Roman. I'm getting old over here.

STB got bent by Imps until they hired EoN...bent by AE until FA starting ringing...and bent by ERA/AE during the DNS debacle.

and DDB got bent while you were with them as well.

Imps were here from what...Summer 2012 to June 2013? and NF as the embodiment of Imps has been around almost the entirety of dust. TP was here from like...November 2012? Really got going when Deluxe and co from "Like A Boss" joined them and then became the best in the game post PFBHz infusion and snowballed that even further after Reg and a few Imps came over?

They the best until they quit the game.

And the remnants have been among the most influential of corps since the departure of the majority of their players.

TP was the backbone of ERA...you might have heard of them?

So really TP was here until Red Wedding in many ways.

STB's elite team IMO was when God Nova and Youngcuz were still there. Once STB lost them they sorta fell off to top of the b tier (just under the Unreal/PFBHz/Hellstorm/Imps/ETC level).

They had tons of talent...but then again so did Subdreddit.

I could lead you a team from subdreddit that would include Funkmaster Whale, The Spinner, Zdub303, Namob Boman, Kenkaniff, Ellithana Mori, Skeez Skeezenstein...and a lot more...talent =/= winning

Hmm strange I see no mention of CAP or KEQ in any of these posts. ..was it because they only began to shine when everyone else had already left? Yes...you had your time. We all did.

Havnt played a game of Dust in 6 months. Yet I still get brought up Daily. I'll consider that a win. You all know as much **** as I talk...I can back it up!

Truly miss this game on a serious note. Not the actual playing of this game...but the politics and Meta.

Difference of Perspective. There are videos on YouTube of full teams of STB beating the IMPS and many others..

Ouch, that would sting...except you just insulted yourself.

Considering I was born in Uprising, no prior affiliation with eve, building a team from scratch of post-Uprising players...I'm more than satisfied with the outcome. My relevancy or legacy isn't reflected by/in you, nor do I require the affirmation. Rather, my joy derives from the stories my guys and I trade among ourselves. Haven't taken the time to read this thread at all, so I wouldn't know any better anyway.

Adaptation illustrates who is best at this game, and their length of prevalency....with a pinch of luck. Darwin514.

Btw, miss you too sweetheart. Our conflict and subsequent wars compile some of my fondest memories. <3

It'll be a sad day if this game ever does die.

Most of us have been fighting each other for a few years now.

The War Room would probably be heartbreaking to read through the last few days. Like when the Red Wedding happened and the War Room was filled with retirement posts from older players.

I hope that day never comes ;_;

Cap was always like...the best of the lower tier teams until red wedding.

Cap has been arguably a top 5 team since January 2014...but there's never been a point I'm aware of where people have thought of Cap as the number one team in the game..maybe while FA was rebuilding after everyone left the game round 2 after rouge wedding? But even when I got back from Destiny Shep was the one who told me that Cap tried to attack FA and were repelled...during the time that we were on destiny and ergo weaker.

I still think highly of Cap, but that's sorta why they aren't often mentioned in these conversations IMO. They were a great team that occupied the top in the absence of the teams that previously surpassed them..It would have been fantastic for their rep for Cap to have dominated OH. Or if Cap kicked AE now out of PC...that would be impressive.

Pretty much this. Yet, I take pride in this. For the most part, we always used our own guys. I remember asking Cubs to not ring for our opponents, because we were beating them consistently and wanted fair fights (VC/Px1/WR/TTD/others) - his response was he wouldn't take payment to not fight (no quarrels there). It was never about the isk to me...it was about climbing the ladder. Field my guys, you field yours, let's see what we got. I believe everyone here who has been my opponent at one time or another can absolutely confirm this.

We never dominated OH. As much blood as we shed against each other, it inadvertently formed a bond between us that lasts even to this day (minus radar, have literally never talked to him). This desire to fight overwhelming odds earned the respect of teams like OH/AE/NS. We never really fought FA before Tso's because yes, AE and ERA wanted the fight. FA has always had the clear advantage in terms of lineup compared to us, this I can't deny. CAP has NEVER had all star players...ever [go ahead, try and name some]. We won by team cohesion alone, role comprehension and execution - I wouldn't trade this for any all star. When you get smashed together, yet stay as one, the grit that forms simply can't be overcome. Cinderellas.

Never locked to stay in MH, never rang out entire teams to earn wins. My self-righteous preachy attitude never really belonged in this cut throat atmosphere, I realize that wholeheartedly. But I never sacrificed that philosophy to achieve victory.

Kick AE out of PC? Ha...I'm just an old clone now. My fire has been nearly extinguished. Senior year takes up way too much time to no life anyway. If only I could write my thesis with as much fervor as the words printed here.
