I find it difficult in todays state to call anyone elite. I've never liked the term anyway, good players, great players, but very few elites have ever played this game, and quite honestly I haven't seen one in years beyond a brief glimpse of a 1 or 2 villages start-up. Neither should those players who come to these forums and pound their chests declaring their greatness be considered elites. I've out played the best, and been out played by them, every world provides twists, and turns, and events that determine such courses. As for elites, my list is very small, and I'm not sure anyone of them continues to play.
