80 inactives probably don't care nor know a lot about warlight anyway Pulsey......

He has a point though. There are probably more people who don't go on the forums and would not know Szeweningen, etc. For one thing, Sze and the others are loath to join any real-time games with low prereqs, in which to meet these non forumers. Fancy a Diplo game, Gnuffone? I thought not. To that end, perhaps people who regularly make large games are more well known to the bustling beginner branch or Warlight. Maybe someone like Weisblut. He had a dash of forum infamy in the past also. Many things to consider.

Irrelevant argument, Aranka. I'm talking about simple recognition here, 'well known' as in you simply know or recgonise the name, rather than know the player personally or to a large extent. Many don't listen to Justin Bieber's music nor know him personally nor care about what he's doing. Yet they all know his name. So he is very 'well known'.

This is a little silly to argue about I must say. But here's my opinion. The majority of warlight is on the open games and they probably don't know or care that there's a small minority of 'famous?' (wait...Really? this is a game)players amongst the forum. On the forum, sure call yourself well known. But you are just like everyone else on the open games.

Achieving well known status is another thing...example Lawlz sorry your not. You can be known as a failed annoying troll by some people, but by others your just forgotten about the next day. Really call name change, I like it.

On the forum its creating events, interesting forum threads and funny comments or arguments. Examples would include Sze, Gui, Pulsey, JSA and X.

i am best of all known players ;)

Lawlz is in a big clan but he joined when it was big already and doesnt hold leadership positions.

Wrong. Take some time to actually read my bio, or look at the clan page.

Lawlz has played the least but he participates in FFAs.

Wrong again. I play mainly team games, but I'm not gonna lie. I rarely ever play real time, EVER. That's why my game count and level are so low. But what you're looking at are diplos, not true FFA's.

Top 10 in 1v1 on the dashboard? Lawlz certainly isnt part of this

Well of course not. I've said repeatedly that I find 1v1 MME tired and played out. I had considered buying a membership, but I'll probably never join the ladder again.

Clan wise, I certainly beat sze and lawlz. I am co-leader of the biggest clan in WL

HA! Omigod pulsey, you sure are hilari.... Wait, you're serious? Pulsey, nobody cares who the top clan is, or the fact that you have 80+% noobs who needed to only join a multiday chat game and say "I'll join" to recieve an invite.

generally or widely known

Yeah, this is the official definition. You don't HAVE to do anything of significance to achieve infamy on the forums, but it helps. You can say "most will forget about you", but you won't. I don't disappear like others. I'm here to stay.

Apollo, what you described is respected people doing fun things for the community. That doesn't count out other people. Hell, mysteryman does nothing, but he's one of the rare alts to do absolutely nothing of notice and yet people recognize his name and profile picture on the forums.

funny comments or arguments. Examples include X.

Must've been WAY before my time because all I see are vulgarity and anti-feminism.

Hmm I play qiuite a lot of common games...
92% of my fame is known in the forum...
annoyingnesss....
a bit of harmless fun...

@hashtag , 53% of the time I do nothing but chat , lol . But I am the chosen alts who came to fame ...


Probably u would say :
what? Really? You were chosen!? To be the rare alts who are well known!?

O_____o!

I would guess the percentage of people that visit the forums is pretty low. Even in my clan (which is very active), most of the players barely post on the forums.

I would think to the average warlight player, the most exposure would be seeing someone in random open tournaments. That isn't Sze and Gui types. They probably know more people from mid level clans than anything (Warlighters, REGL, etc) than upper level clans.

Another source of recognition is the points chart (not that it means a whole lot). I would guess random warlight players probably check their points often and see people over on the left side.

You evidently have no sense of humour. Wit is well timed.

Haven't read the thread, but I'm pretty sure that is another example of you missing humour again.

Totally agree Apollo, but by previously being an incessant troll, Lawlz became infamous. I'd say he became as famous as people like Sze (and definitely more famous than Gui in recent months) by being the biggest imbecile on the site.

Second of all, I'd say Pulsey is def more well known than myself AND sze, so don't count him out. Hidden Hand/Righ have both caused major drama on the forums and Righ left a fiasco comparable to the Watergate scandal.

First sentence I'd agree with. Second too perhaps (though I think I must have missed a lot of the scandal because I didn't notice that much drama). But to be honest, these 'scandals' weren't really that big a deal. There were other larger things that were followed by more people; more people and more respected people cared about them. These clan disputes are storms in a teacup. Back in the day, arguments, rivalries etc were a lot more entertaining.

I like this I did nothing and become famous thing that hashtag said...

Then quit being lazy and read.

It is still well before your time, child.

...

Read it and I stand by that statement Lawlz. You going to respond to my reply or dodge the inevitable failure of arguing? :P

I don't understand your need for a reply. Perhaps you have an addiction. You really should talk to a psychologist about this.

If the topic is well-known, I could claim (note the word claim) to be one of the most well known players in the game. I am not too well known on the forums, yet I am known in that world. I am known in the clans I am a part of, and have manager rights or Council membership in them. (Manager Rights: LN, USW. Council: Illuminati, LEA). I have my own clan in which every player knows me, and then in LEA I know at the very least 3/4th of the numbers. USW I have quite a few that know me, and the same in Illuminati. Then there's the diplomacy world, in which I have been famous for my templates, and playing. I am also extremely well known in the roleplay world. Almost every roleplay clan leader knows me, and so do players from most roleplay clans. And then there's the lottery world which I am not proud of, but I will not deny that I am known in that world too. The only world I'm not too well known is in the Ladder area where I pretty much suck.

I suggest that we put this discussion aside, this topic is too wide, and cannot be truly answered. People like me can make tall claims, but yet there's too many who can do the same as I just did.

I could make an argument that I am the best known as well. As I regularly participate in a variety of open real time games although lately that has subsided. In fact I think anyone can make an argument they are the best known player. It is really a moot point and I like to add who cares really? If we are talking about elite players Sze Gnuff Odin Pulsey the Masters etc(just trying to keep it short folks :D) are all probably really well known among ladder players. If we are talking about Diplos then I don't know maybe slasher or someone from a diplo clan?

It's a pointless question to ask. It's designed to create arguments of the sort.
