Top 10 Players You'd like to see return

Postby gannable on Sun Sep 03, 2017 3:59 pm

In honor of gannable's celebrated return to CC one month ago I'd like to pose the following question:
List 10 former players you'd wish to see return.

Gannable sees that most of his former friends, enemies, and rivals are all gone. He can be sentimental so that makes him sort of sad and it makes gannable wonder why the hell did he return in the first place?

Anyway here's his list (not in any order):

The title of this thread is in honor of the first person on his list:
(gannable bets most people don't even remember Blitz's top ten lists :(

1) Blitzaholic - frankly, I think he or Big Whiskey, or sjnap are the best players ever here at CC. Bliztaholic left under scandalous terms and I suspect he was too embarrassed to ever return. But Blitz if you're reading this, please know those concerns are long gone. There's all new generation of players who wouldn't even recall the incident. I felt CC long something when Bltiz left, it never felt the same. He was an institution, the Babe Ruth of CC. Blitz and gannable always didn't get along but gannable is more sentimental than anything; he doesn't hold grudges.

2) Ironwood - my former teammate and friend. When we both had our hearts in the game we could beat anyone on the website in a team game . We joined around the same time, first played together as competitors but then learned team games together. The website is not the same for me without him.

3) Das Killa - same description as Ironwood. I'm sure he's happy that Edmonton has finally built a stanley cup contender.

4) 300spartans - you wouldn't know it by his rank but in his prime he was a great player, one of the best. We became friends and teammates; and even won a tournament together with Ironwood and Meanestbossever.

5) Meanestbossever - another great teammate and clan mate. He was always level headed and calm even while Ironwood and gannable became unreasonable.

6) Detoorteg - a strange choice but gannable found him entertaining. During my early days at CC, good ole Detoorteg was accusing people of cheating and having dice programs. Recalling him reminds of my days of wide-eyed innocence.

7) Leeks777 - a former teammate and clan mate. His blistering tirades and cursing and insults against opponents were great comic relief for gannable. THe two of us together could whine and insult the opponent into obliteration.

8 Beersurfer - an opponent more often than not for gannable; however not only was a great player but he whined and complained about the dice more than gannable. You have to admire him for that fact alone. And beersurfer reminds gannable of the days of great team battles many years ago, so sad that they're over.

9) Barterer2002 - a friend, a teammate, and a fellow Philadelphian. We won a tournament together. He disappeared suddenly. We were supposed to meet for tea and crumpets but it never transpired. I hope he's ok.

10) JohnyRockets - like Blitzaholic, JR was a CC institution. There was a time I couldn't conceive of CC without him. We played as opponents and a few times as teammates. JR, wherever you are I'm sure you know CC is not the same without you.

honorable mention - vintender, big whiskey, sjnap, the entire THOTA clan, watsy, speed, peanutsdad, fruitcake, danryan, gussell, nesterdude, and countless others.


sincerely,

Fanny Balls

3. Clapper - Never thought I'd see CC without her.

4. take2out - 2007's noob award winner. He'd be a great addition on this site. Caffeine would have a hay day with him.

5. Dancing Mustard - The best thing this forum has received.

6. Player329053905902376034267432064023 - Annoying but we need more trolls

7. Nobunaga

8. Thegreekdog

id like to see emmdizzle and ponygal return.

What is a website without enemies?

If I had my wish the dynamics of this website would be like wrestling; everyone has a feud going on.

I would definitely second that. Blitz broke the rules, he was punished, in my book that is the end of the matter. I don't believe people should be flogged in perpetuity for some long-ago crime. Why bother talking about "paying your debt" if we don't at some point treat the debt as paid?

When I joined CC everything was about Blitz. Hard to believe that he left and never came back. He was the centrepiece of CC as I originally explored it.


2. I also agree with you about Barterer 2002. It's almost a forgotten fact that he was the founder of the TPA Series. Very sad that he left so early in its history.

After that, my list diverges completely from yours. Most of the people on my list were the great site volunteers -- tournament organiser, mapmakers, and mods. Then there's some forum greats, and a few random people who were simply my friends.

14. perchorin

and purely for comic relief

Why is natty dread on your list? He wouldn't accept that the amount of territories that border a continent make it more difficult to defend, not just the amount of border countries in the continent.

insomina red - i remember her posting that she was dying or something. I felt really sad reading the post. Then, some people starting insulting her and saying she was lying.

Anyone know if her story was true or not?

She probably died. Her IMDb page hasn't had a new entry in years.

Correction: I just checked again. Their is now a 2017 credit. Something minor, indy & behind-camera... so who knows?

You were never an active forum user before this year. How could you have been aware of that incident?

You know what? Natty dread pissed me off a lot, and I disagreed with him 80% of the time. I'd still like to see him back. The ability to have interesting ideas is sometimes more important than the ability to have ideas I agree with. Plus, he was a very productive mapmaker.
