1. Leimer - honestly one of the best players Ive seen in the game, and willing to help anyone who asks
2. Twilightblade - Good all around player
3. Exor - An amazing offensive player. Not my favorite person, but tolerable
4. Whall0 - Enjoyable person to have around, an has improved on his game tremendously since he left W29
5. Woods - Another guy who's game play improved tremendously when it was his turn to step up.
6. Pantherskurt - like the two above, very nice guy to have around, and again, an excellent fighter
7. KingMyster - Another good fighter, and I enjoyed talking to him while he was in my tribe on 42
8. Han Fei Tzu - Quit a long time ago, and Ive never seen him play long term. For some reason this guy seemed amazing to me though lol
9. Patchkidd - Not amazing, but solid, always there for the tribe. Was improving before he disappeared, and if he was still around, would likely be very good
10. toad177 - Held his own for a very long time, on this world and another.
11. achilles trojan warrior - Nice guy, and great attack coordinator. Give him a handful of players to work with, and he is deadly.
12. Sweenster04 - I like
12. gapomoha - Very aggressive player
13. Augvob solid player
14. Docke - For the most part, a pretty respectable guy. A good fighter too
15. Jobetopia A good forum voice to have around, he and Han fei would do well out there
16. Zeddy - no idea about his skill, but I liked him a lot.
17. Monergon - very good defense. I had the hardest time even getting reports on this one
18. Damageboi - I think one of the few in TLA id include
19. Ebbs - extremely enjoyable to have around
20. Dallock
A pretty biased list, but hey, half of TLA hates me, and half of what was Grind I didnt really know.
If I wasnt such a newb at the beginning of W29, SPANK might have been a much better tribe
Also, took a while for a lot of players who were once SPANk to come around and actually become good fighters. A shame
