Re: 10

i have a different kind of ranking

10. Guesty
always an extremely prominent and super positive member in whatever role it was. i think super conspicuous in his (general) absence these days, moreso than other big members

9. Deoxy
really scary personality initially that stuck with me for a while

8. thefalman
7. RadioShadow

introduced me to my favorite band and favorite youtuber, respectively, that's worth a lot even if i never talked to them!

6. Kireato
always seemed to wind up in the more interesting discussions about advance wars. including heated/memorable ones with me, once or twice!

5. Gipface
i extremely dislike him now, but there was a point where his dedication to AW4 was something i did look up to. contributed a lot to DoR and influenced the way i think about games. it's too bad it's all so overshadowed by every other awful thing

4. CO_Frosty
the best overall contributor to the design/creative side of custom wars by far. i know most people here distance themselves from that but it was just another arm of wwn to me, and frosty was the crumpets guy who legitimately wanted to see things succeed and put in smart, consistent work to accomplish that. a lot of people whined and complained about custom wars purely because it was fashionable, or because they had nothing better to say or contribute. when frosty complained, it was because the project, while clearly doomed, was something he was prepared to somehow make succeed if he could. he was generally really easy to get along with too and i personally learned a lot about the game from him. his custom cos were really good, too! i still sneakily check up on this guy's smogon posts every couple years or so

3. Terragent
this man was fudge hulk hogan in the gfaqs days. one of the first 'big impressive smart person with smart words saying smart things' personalities i ever encountered on the internet. 'jess is not underpowered' had me completely amazed and i guess i basically patterned a lot of my thinking when it comes to games off of that for some time. i think i wrote some crappy offshoot about lash that ended up in olaf's chair.

2. Treedweller
an extremely 'unique voice' by any standard, there's really no solid category for treed's wwn personality. super earnest and nice, which already seems very rare on the internet for anyone over the age of 14. it's like treed just took several very good but somewhat boring human attributes and then combined them with his mysterious x-factor that makes him the ultimate pleasant-yet-fascinating individual i've seen online. we didn't really interact directly too much, and when we did i'm pretty sure it was usually some crumpets me/joey drama with him patiently telling us to shut the fudge up or whatever. when he wanted to be, he was one of the most exciting members to talk about the game with though. if you go back and read posts from the early days of dor, treed's presence is actually nonstop joy and delight. two words that, again, really have no business describing the activities of a member of some seedy, outdated video game fansite. treed makes 'straightforwardly good, nice, and thoughtful' cool and mysterious.

1. Sven
super infectious personality from the get-go, combined with, if not the best understanding of the game of advance wars, then the best ability to articulate it, miles and miles ahead of anyone else. obviously i had to latch onto this guy immediately. lack of interest in dor always made me sad and our general ability to relate basically dwindled to zero in the wake of that, but sven was always the one member i craved having a good deep conversation with. i'm not sure it's ever really happened and i guess it probably never will at this point, but he's still that guy to me to some extent. you never know, i guess

now i'm off to alert joey

BG, reading your description of me made me smile, and made my day. You're a wonderful guy, and I'm glad you're still around. I'm dying to know who your favourite band is, though.

HPD, you're being a total sourpuss. If it's any consolation, you're #1 in my heart. Actually, maybe you're #1 in the upper-mid tier of my heart. But that's still pretty good!

I haven't talked to you in forever, monky darling, and I regret it. Know, though, that you're still special to me. You introduced me to music that I listen to obsessively even today (M83, Neon Indian, Yelle), and fuelled my burgeoning, late-blooming musical exploration.

Every time I listen to M83's Saturdays = Youth or Neon Indian's Era Extrana, I think of you.

I'm always happy to read overly in-depth analysing of what we all mean to each other.

Well, since I'm in the mood now,(and it's the 21st anyway) HPD does a good job of being both a admin, a active poster, and a lynch magne, and bearing it all well. You deserve some kind of compliment at least.

I also remember being a bit more as ease here in the very early phase(I started as guest poster), with him also being a dutch guy. I had never posted really much on a internet forum before, and my experiece prior to WWN wasn't all that great. This always has been a very safe place to me as a teenager,especially when I ran into hard times in late 2008, and also as a young adult I feel very comfortable.

fudge you buddy, you told me once you thought i wasn't a real WWNer, this was like in 2006 or something. after that i thought for a long ass time that you had a huge ass stick up your ass. then you travelled the fudge around the world to meet xen and chilled the fudge out basically post your undergrad hahaha. you hella cool man. wanna make sure you know i love you and i razz the fudge outta you just cause you have the best fudge reactions. xen is fudge stone and i can't get crumpets out of him.

aww. <3. i never relaly tried to make a style, this was mostly just the most convenient way for me to post after a while. while i certainyl try to entertain to some extent with this style, i mostly want to just stay true to the way i genuinely think about things. also the lower caps are to make sure i never take myself too seriously.

i just want ot let you know you were one of the people that made me completely okay with having 'nerrdy' hobbies. you'd go on and post about the animes you'd watch and the fudge scifi novels you'd read without a care in the world, and i'd just be like uhhhh i'm normal i swear. i dunno.

sometimes when i'm donw i just open up the angst topic and i see the first quote you've posted from fudge shinji or whatever the fudge saying i will not run away. and to me that's fudge mindblowing, to me it's a bold statement saying look, i'm fudge aware this is as pathetic as fudge hell, but this is what i honestly enjoy spending my time on. fudge take me or leave me as i am, this is my fudge angst topic.

to me that takes a huge amount of fudge balls and i've reread that post of yours often over the past five yeras.

dude you were one of the first people i'd run into either online or off that genuinely accepted the idea of using self help books unironically in a reasonable way. like i'd met people who'd found books that solved all their problems or whatever, but that's obviously fudge crumpets. and i'd also dealt with people 24/7 who were huge math nerd types who were like "WOW THAT SELF HELP BOOK IS A COMPLETE WASte OF tiME get GOOD SVEN."
