This is in context of since i have been playing...2-3 years now...kingdoms can't show up in more than 1 category...not ranked just a list in each category
Top Builders Only (Top NW Rank) Jones Lynog Flazer
Top AL/WG Only (Win from lower rank or hold off uni wars) Kes Sci RMagician
Top HOF Whores On (gives all pas, missiles every PK, and hits 4x10 on all KTs) Tank Killer Gunslinger Mt. Gagazet
Top Overall Players Only (Top KD builder/Top AL/Top HOF whore) Cobras Damdred Scars
I like the way Cobra's broke it down. I don't think there is a real way to pick a "top 10", because when I think of different players that I would consider "tops", they all bring something different to the table. Would also agree on his list for the most part, because if you asked me about these guys, I would say the same thing.
AS I have not been playing for 12 years and I just came back Im not giong to pretend that I remember/give a fuck about the guys who used to play 84 rounds ago. Saying that I will write who since the last 6 rounds? Who have stood out to me as "Top Players"
In no particular order 1. Jester 2. Damdred 3. Scars 4. Tiesto 5. Cobra 6. Flazer 7. Glund 8. Walls 9. Meadows 10. Arson
And jones only because ive seen him play in 2 places and he did very well in both even though he quit both times
I'm just going to do a modern list tbh, if i had to do a past list i would go along the same lines as amog. heres my modern list, this is not in order.
AS I watch the retarded debate over blah zee bloo bluuuh... Here's my list not in order of who's best btw... I post these guys b.c they ARE without a doubt top 10 every game they play, some of their influence hits SK EVEN when they don't play and they all think outside the normal box!!! That being said FLAME ON FUCKERS!!!

No offense intended to him but Flazer only grabs Rank 1 because he has pop-inflated kingdoms. His kingdoms aren't even any good, lol. I remember a couple of us saying we wanted to grab him a few days out of newbie last round, but we were all in the same alliance.
Example: An SoK from 2 hours ago shows him Rank 1 as TF with 60k pop, 1k Troopers, 4,700 Laser Troopers and around 150 tanks.
My own kingdom has 35k pop, 800 Troopers and almost 8k Laser Troopers, yet he's Rank 1 because of the pop thing, nothing else.
All the exploring, waking up at this and this time, razing this, converting that and he still has rubbish kingdoms.
Flazer himself will tell you his KD isnt very good right now though, nor does anykind of rank matter at the moment, its all about how you set your kd up to potentially being a monster then following that up by it becoming a monster.
Flazer knows exactly how to do this and put a hell of a lot of effort into trying to do it, he has had alot of bad luck in the past but on his day can compete with most. The same cant be said for alot of the supposed top building around nowadays.
I can understand that. I've only really been watching his kingdoms for the last 3 rounds now. People have been saying that his kingdoms are good so I kind of expected more somehow. I don't doubt that he knows what he's talking about though.
Flazer maths the fuck out of his kingdoms. I used to think they worked 50% of the time but now i think its 33%. When they work tho id put him on par with anyone else still around.
Only thing is those other guys do it every round. Remember Artosis pat?

This is something I never fully comprehended and still need work on. I'm doing an experiment with s1 and s2. My s2 is all about that. I could at any time convert and pump out a billion tanks and have rank 1 but then if completely destroy my kd and would take a lot of resources to get myself back to stability. It's similar to going to mobo and then having to go back to growth. My s1 is set up differently but is similar.
It took a while to understand that at least 80% of kd building is watching others. I have more scientists than tanks right now because any more tanks is a waste because I'm safe this I can utilize resources to other areas that are more economical. Honestly, learning starcraft helped me realize these important kingdom building stuff.
Lol Mal starcraft is the champ for teaching people how to macro. I never though about it applying here but i suppose it does. Ressource management can decide quite a bit when yourr all hitting and exploring thr same way.
