TWL posters? I know there are and have been a shit ton of people through these halls, so I'll let you go as far as top 20. Name and reason/s why. Go!
Cimat, but he bailed out. Id have to say its Stones, because lol.
In no particular order (except as they come to my mind and in terms of duration posting here):

(For their well thought out and often controversial libertarian shit)
NBF
SAM

(For their thoroughly detailed, always see it to the end, and often very open minded/honest debate principles)

Alphamale (extinct)
(SF) DirtyRatFink
Dieselfuel
Puckfist
Blue
the wierdo

(For their thorough historical understanding/context).
Dominus
Allen

(For highly amusing right wing antics....in terms of smartest to most ridiculous)
Stryk
Cocy
.....
.....
.....
Snake
.....
.....
.....
Stones

(for their equally amusing left wing satire.......also in terms of smartest to most ridiculous)
Cobalt
Pixel
ZuSealilly

(for their regular rantings on everything else that isn't entirely political)
Bibimbap
Questor
Fluffy............
everyone else........since that's 20



Oh yeah.......toss Aria in there (and others I'm sure I missed). So many funny bastards in here somewhere who have been posting in this same cesspool for almost a decade now.

We could have built our own bridge to nowhere with the time we have wasted arguing about stupid shit with our fellow trolls.
Well, for my favorite posters (in alphabetical order not order of preference)

DieselFuel (While we agree on so little on so many topics, I just really like him)
Mockery (One of the most intelligent ppl here)
MolimOrion (He got me to re-evaluate everything I believed about politics)
NBF (We were made for each other)
Puckfist (His eloquence humbles me)
Bluedoctor (Great debater, makes his point without having to jam it down your throat)


My picks for top trolls:
-Cummins (I still cant believe how many people really don't understand that this guy is trolling you)
-Snake (I love to see him get banned, but it is so boring when he is banned. Also, there is no way this guy is as obtuse as he seems, is there?)
-SS (Much more intelligent type of trolling style, and makes great points, but still half of what he says is to get a rise, and he does it well)


For the lighthearted stuff that makes TWL more enjoyable:
-Cummins (yeah, you're listed twice, get over yourself, it doesn't mean you have any higher a rank. I lol though)
-Mack (the gf would die if you weren't here to start threads. countless threads)
-Aria (I actually like your stories. TWL version of a reality show)
-Questor (like his sense of humor, up top of the list of guys to have a beer with)




And then there is QM. (I don't even know what to say)



Shit.......How the hell did I forget SS (or Questionmark)!!!

-SS- is the king of all hilarious trolls. He boils it down to such conciseness and elegance that his posts are like watching a well polished regiment of soldiers hitting the battlefield of a proverbial Normandy.

He is like the Paton of all TWL trolling.

As for Questionmark......... He has done an excellent job of replacing ZuSeaLily for my all time peaktard amusement. He also can take a fucking beating......much like Stones and Snake (probably for many of the same reasons).

There isn't a single clown in here I wouldn't love to buy a beer for or share a laugh with. I truly enjoy how much of an asshole we can all be to one another and not take it terribly serious. This forum has, admittedly, forged most of us in fire and taught all of us that we don't know nearly as much as we would often like to admit.

I know that I have drastically changed my own views over the years and will continue to do so thanks to each and everyone of the people I post with in this forum.

Heh, 20 is tough....


No particular order:

BlueDoctor - smart & unflappable
Irish - the kid freaking grew up on these boards
Polaris - What?
Yeats - witty & sharp as a razor
Mockery - One of the earliest foes... arguing about Pistons vs Lakers 2004 NBA Finals
Digm - just always thought he was hilarious
Wonka - Chopmaster General
Terminator - WTF happened to him?
weirdo - another one whose wit + intelligence makes me laugh
Mack - Chinese drug dealer
SweetTooth - Admins hated him, he was insane, but he was funny. That "microphone-duct taped-to-headphones" concoction was epic
BB - too many epic moments to ignore
TKK - Nicest guy on the boards
Major - Okay, tied for nicest guy on the boards
GAS - always entertaining stories
samuwell - I love the unabashedly insane
Questor & Fluffy - they have to be listed together, because when they are bashing each other they are at their best
....


I have to run .... I will finish my list later... TBC....
Who's a guy gotta blow around here to be appreciated? Someone tell me why you like me,i need validation!

I used to be more relevant. Then I stopped giving a shit.


That's what she said
so many to choose from... so many that must be left out due to constraints...

For being open minded thinkers (among other reasons):

Puckfist
BlueDoctor
Major
Penguin
Wierdo

For unashamedly posting truth (among other reasons):

DRF
Sam
Mockery
Molim (who I miss so, so much)

For being worthy adversaries:

CaptPlanet
Anarchist

For bringing perspectives that I don't have much experience with and overall being cool cats:

Allen
SS

For being great punching bags:

Cocytus
QM
Snake
Chuck Fucking Stones

People that I just like in general (this category would be much larger without the number constraint):

DF
Pillbug
Mack

Most of these names fit under more than one classification, but I'm too lazy to list specific reasons per person.

ROFL, I know right. WTF!

Seek out a kingdom worthy of your soul
There are a variety if folks that should be on the list because I like them, but narrowing it to 20 means the ones that stand out over time.

I owe 5 more..
T. Wrecks - looks like a mob hitman, but funny as hell
CG - She was wrong about so much, but it was funny how much she infuriated people
BoRo Impact - best rant board trash talking foe ever. TC just threw up in his mouth a little.
Cobalt - also makes me laugh
Aria - he is hysterical if u get him

Lots of great folks not on here that should be:
NBF - consistent
Pillbug pre 2008 - used to be fun to debate before he decided to turn ridiculous (although it seems he may be back to old...hopefully)
Rat - for knowing how to disagree
CaptPlanet - determination
Puck - always been an entertaining read...and part of the best PS ever

This list could go on forever. There are only about 3 posters I do not like and would not have a beer with.

Just means we're not forum whores... too busy off winning at life with our tiger blood and all...
zusealily- only person i can remember to get a permaban from polaris, and that to me is pretty fucking hilarious

who ever created the cybersex thread cause i still get laughs from it to this day.
My list is long and distinguished. It would definitely hurt some feelings around here.



Who's up for a wall of text?

I like anyone who I've learned something from over the years (well, really, I everyone, even Subroutine and Leroy with their tiger blood, and Leonidas for teaching me a few things about being a landlord).

No order, obviously.

Wonka - hilarious posts and chops, even though I think I missed a lot of his active reign.

Zeus - That guy was always willing to throw down a religious debate when I was in militant atheist mode.

Bigguns - He's been around forever, and while sometimes I'm not certain he's making sense, other times he totally kills it.

Questor - For being a good fearless leader for so long.

T.Wrecks & TC - For their reserve in posting when really informed and not overstepping other places. Made their posts always worth reading.

Mack & Aria - bundled for a light hearted trolling style and interesting stories.

Bluedoc - for all the reasons aforementioned

Weirdo - He's always had a reasonable perspective and he's one of the few I've talked to off these forums.

Mockery - pursuer of truth while poker of fun

NBF - very interesting perspective on politics and history, certainly made me rethink some of the taught-as-monolithic events in American history.

Snake - Because honestly, if you can't learn to appreciate Snake you probably don't have the wherewithal to stay on these forums.

SS - He puts me in my place sometimes, and I invariably learn something from his positions.

DRF - For being rational and fair when people are rational and fair, and hilarious when they choose not to be.

Pixel - For years of posting interesting positions and fighting battles with the conservative pack that was around at the time.




But really, I've learned a little from a lot and to the unnamed - even someone like dieslut - I'm still glad they've come through/are still here. Edit: Plus I probably didn't put up some people I would have if I had a better memory...

I don't think Mitten could have a beer with anybody here. I get the impression he hasn't drank in a while due to the fact he was a raging alcoholic.

You really do suck at Battleship.

I get the impression Cummins is still paying off the fines & court costs from when he was arrested for groping the kids at the nursery school.

Where are you even pulling that story from? It's about the fifth time you posted it.
Same place you are pulling all of the crap from that you try to pin on me.

You pretty much verified that you would let your daughter date a radical Muslim extremist just to prove you're not prejudiced.

When was the last time you had a drink?

No, I didn't. I never said any such thing.

The arrest records clearly prove you are a pedophile, though.

You're gonna be even less relevant if you don't accept my friend request on Facebook bish.
Favorites:

everyone who ever disagreed with me on a political / economic/ environmental / constitutional / religious topic: I have enjoyed seeing the other point of view. Always gets me to investigate the topic more. Sometimes it solidifies my point, sometimes it completely changes my view, but it always gets me to expand my knowledge. To list the people who have argued with me go to SeaRch and enter *.* or what ever else would bring up a list of every person who has ever posted on TWL

everyone who played Ikariam: getting to know people outside of the General Forum was the best part of Ikariam and the only thing I miss. Amazing how your perception of someone was so far off when you started interacting outside the GF. Good crew of people ... for the internet.

everyone who can give and take as good as they get with some intelligence and humor Most people who think that means them, it doesn't, and the one's who it does mean, they probably don't give a dam if it does mean them.


Generally you can sum it up with two quotes from Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Highway

"You can rob me. You can starve me and you can beat me and you can kill me. Just don't bore me... on the TWL General Forums".

In regards to this thread itself

"Just because I posted here don't expect to hold hands and take warm showers together until the wee hours of the morning."
