The most powerful/influential

[Neasmyrna]

I know Falconias ran a poll on this several months ago. But things do change over time and I want to know people's opinions.

After the fall of Gatesville there seems to be a bit of a void in NS. Who do you think is the main uber power in the game?

Who has the capability to do the most and who is doing the most to effect the most aspects of the game. Do we even know of those who do the most?

What do you think?

[Durkadurkiranistan]

Maybe this time I'll actually make the list

[Falconias]

Sure if I had any idea who you were.

I might do this again eventually, I'm going to change how it works though; I'm going to stress the nature of influence rather than a popularity contest and I will do a pre-survey where anyone who would like to can submit up to 10 names of people they find highly influential, and I'll make one massive list out of it.

[Durkadurkiranistan]

I'm Pope Hope.

[Dyr Nasad]

*sigh*
I believe he knows who you are .... or he's hibernating.

I'd like to see this again as well - *waits for Falc to do it again*

[Todd McCloud]

Perhaps I'll retain the top spot still!

Though it is doubtful. I don't think Moo will have the #2 spot anymore though.

[Northern Chittowa]

It could be interesting. I think the last one was a bit biased, as he himself would admit, so to see a new one done would be good.

I remember the ones from a few years back when i first started playing, there were some big names who are still remembered today...

[Numero Capitan]

I think Todd would still be top, Naivetry and Sedge would be a bit further up now based on the communities I'm familiar with.

[Todd McCloud]

A little short prediction list:

Moving up:
Krull
Dyr Nasad
JAL = Durkadurkastan
Naivetry
Sedge

Moving down:
Moo-Cows With Guns
Pope Lexus X
WestWind
TAO
Gryffynn
Eli

This isn't of course me being a jerk and shouldn't be offending. Just how I'd see it.

[New Kervoskia]

DBNK Inc will be releasing its own Most Powerful/Influential list which will be more accurate and worth a shit.

[Moo-cows with guns]

Perhaps I'll retain the top spot still!

Though it is doubtful. I don't think Moo will have the #2 spot anymore though.

h43r:

Awww.....where's the love?

[Dyr Nasad]

does: love = carrots for the funky rabbit thing? - if so, *gives Moo carrots*

Seeing this again, from a variety of sources, would be interesting.

[Dalimbar]

Ah here we go, popularity contest time. *Grabs the popcorn*

[Kurdazistan]

I think Todd's list is pretty right on, but there will be a few random up and comers.

[Alsted]

Can't 234 endorsements buy a man more than one vote?

[Sedgistan]

This more of a 'Gameplay' influence thing (as against WA, RP etc.), so the fact that Europe isn't active within the wider NS world counts against you. Though the fact that you could carry out a 'Taijitu'-esque invasion of TRR at any moment probably gives you some influence

[Todd McCloud]

I think Todd's list is pretty right on, but there will be a few random up and comers.

It's not my list, lol. Falconias made it, so I guess it would be his list.

[Kandarin]

Can't 234 endorsements buy a man more than one vote?

234 endorsements can buy a man somewhere between one and 234 votes. It's just a matter of getting them to the polls.

[Faxanavia]

Haven.

[Rigbyland]

Can't 234 endorsements buy a man more than one vote?

234 endorsements can buy a man somewhere between one and 234 votes. It's just a matter of getting them to the polls.

In the WA it'll get you 235. Maybe that should be part of the most influential/powerful measure? Using just the opinion of the few people who happen to see this thread or the old one doesn't seem very accurate...

[Gruffydd ap Llywelyn 1]

Wopruthien -- 12

Woop wop

The old survey was actually posted around loads of different forums, in order to get as many opinions as possible, from a wide range of regions. However, it was really meant to be about who the most influential in the gameplay arena are - not in the WA/in RPing etc (as pointed out above).

If Falconias were to repeat it (which I hope he does), then I imagine that it would be posted around numerous regions, as before. However, I can't see endorsements being used as a measure.

[Docky]

Wonder if I'll get in
