W100 Celebration "WHO ARE THE GREATEST PLAYERS?" [Borrowed from W14/W85]

[DeletedUser84793]

The name sounded familiar. Turns out he was in DEFY with me in W90. Pretty sure I never even considered him one of the better players in our mediocre rim tribe, even before he fell for the divide-n-conquer propaganda of our enemies 2HARD - he joined their tribe, and two weeks later they kicked and nobled him. They were well known for that, so it's not as if he even had any political savvy. 'spose he could have been spying, as if that makes it any better

Unless there's somehow two hodgy77s - the one I'm talking about seems to have changed his name since then - I'm gonna hazard a guess that Michael was being facetious.

im sure its the same guy..we were tribe mates at one time..he he spent tons of money to get ahead not to mention was not a good team mate..the threw hissy fits all the time like a child..him and the duke at the time was fighting...it was a mess..the end story was he got taken out eventually...all that money he spent went to waste..did him no good or helped him at all..i would not even dare say he was good enough to even mention..if that is the same guy Michael is recommending..

I disagree with usage of arrogant.

Jamm was conceited, egotistical, and confident. So am I. I'm not sure either is arrogant.

People use the word arrogant wrong IMO.

arrogant: having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.

If I state I've been rank 1 more times than anyone else that's not an exaggeration. (It might not be true either, it definitely was in the past, and it probably still is, but there's a possibility that has changed in recent years, but I don't think rank 1 on premium worlds should count, so in my eyes I will forever hold that record). You can't be arrogant without exaggerating your claims, you can however be egotistical without exaggerating ones claims. Most good players IMO are egotistical - Jamm very much so included. You have to be to achieve greatness. People who aren't don't push themselves to improve incessantly.

Dude Ive seen you mess up more OPs and fold under pressure/attack than anyone else ever. You were great at building up villages for people to noble.
