BRB let me check my friends list.
Szyzlack - very knowledgeable and friendly AEDC senior. Burnt out after the Dangerous Games.
Apos - Still around, but rarely posts. His articulate and fiery takes on inter group stuff was awesome.
Vectron - did a HUGE amount of work to build the Mahon PowerPlay economy and culture. His fiery blasts were always very well thought out, and his knowledge of game mechanics and strategy was better than most of the devs.
Thunda - Aka Suzy FlyBare aka Suzy NoPants aka Anarchick. This lass was one of the funniest and most articulate folks around. If you ever had the pleasure of being on an Alliance team speak with her, you’ll know.
One memorable phrase “I could flash a Vicar”. Sadly one day something happened and she wiped all her accounts and identities. Gone was her Wordpress and all the fun stuff she created.
Marra Morgan - Do I miss the hot Welsh dreadlocked pirate? Yes I do. I could never even spell her safe word, And when I talk with her prim imperial replacement Kari Kerenski - we mostly polish our guns at each other.
Ben Ryder - loved this weirdo. Like what sort of person would take on leadership of the Antal PowerPlay? Total fruitcake. Remember how Antal would acquire Control Systems ridiculously far from their HQ just because?
Cadoc - In the early days of PowerPlay he wrote a weekly summary of what was actually going on. The sort of thing that the community manager should be doing - helping everyone to understand the ebb and flow of elite politics. The sort of thing that Sagittarius Eye is doing.
Corrigendum - he had over a hundred GalNet articles published. I often had cause to disagree with him, but the place was better when he was around.
DarthBlingBling, Kermit Lephroag, and Rex Minerva - who can forget the glory days of the Diamond Frogs? They pulled some terrific stunts. Remember when they destroyed and exposed the Emperor’s Grace group? Emperor’s Grace were a Triple Elite player group with hugely inflated member numbers. Funny and aggressive I miss the Diamond Frogs.
Ollobrains - rattled Frontier’s cage so hard that they removed a whole game mechanic.
Gully Foyle - just a good guy with good things to say.
Mossfoot - again just good folk.
Chuckles in the background.
Olivia Vespera - a huge asset wherever she went. First at Aisling PowerPlay and later at Canonn she did so many great and honestly weird things. She ran that big decrypting project that worked out all the Thargoid sites. She started a bank.
Princess Nia - SDC griefer queen.
Princess Jezza - a rolling car crash of LOOK AT MEEEEE, but fun. I’m still cross at them for derailing Vectron’s project to get close engagement from Sandro to fix PowerPlay. I miss that selfish beeatch.
Roybe - Remember the Lughe war? The glory days of Crimson State Group. Yeah. Dude.
Scarlet Ashcroft - short lived comet. Came on my radar and really made me sit up and pay attention. Never quite worked out what that was, but boy I was intrigued.
Sole Hunter - Spy, Griefer, master of short sarcastic wit.
Walt Kernan - the one who docks. First to Go Public with how the BGS works.
Can I also mention some folks who are still around who make life better here.
Jane Turner, Mangal Oemie, Ziggy Stardust, Schlack, Rubbernuke, Harry Potter, Ashenfox, Pan Piper, Saool, Spatula, Goose, Un1korn, and many others.
