Unread post Horrible injustice.
Can someone help me Log into the ClassicTW wikki? It seems to be missing a lot of information on some good players the world needs to know about! …and no, Im not talking about Me. :)

I think you have to request an account from JP. He closed it because it got overrun with spambots.

I think I still have an account, so you could give me material to put up.

I think the list of notable players is highly biased. Some good names should be on that list: Singularity, Mind Dagger, Vid Kid, Traitor, Cherokee, Big12OzHog, Rammer, Jhereg, and a few more that I can't think of at the moment. These names are 'notable' not just because they were great players, they did developed tactics, scripts, and styles that people still use to this day. There are several Real-Names there that don't have aliases, so perhaps some of the few I mentioned are there.. even if they are already in the list, there's a notable lack on information for many of the names which begs the question: why are they in the list?

I appreciate the offer to put up the information, but I think no one really cares about that 'museum', considering that I didn't notice an update beyond 2010.

Chaps my azz that people are in the Notable-People list with nothing of note.

Augi who runs http://www.thestardock.com/ and one of the most challenging servers of his day, also helped with the annual TW awards, nominations and voting for notable players. Those names weren't chosen by JP, but by other players at that time. Many of whom no longer play.

It is in our blood, and I don't think there is a cure yet.

This, I don't even play but I still lurk. It's a severe sickness I'm thinking.
