I find it hard to believe that nobody has mentioned Chewcaca yet.

[ELPIRATA]

WOW.. I have a long list too....

First, the first pilot I ever interacted with... Kryton. He told me he would join OEC and we went together. Karash for his insanely well written RP stories and book quotes that Im sure made all of our pilots drool just to be in a mission. CobraMac, the guy with the accent we learned that me scouting ahead was not a good choice (because of dial up lol), many many OEC pilots... but DLinkOz for showing me how to start making money effectively while he did some economic wars. The OEC pilots who believed in me when I had to step in as the TO and lead OEC after Karash was assasinated. To Karash, again, for giving me the privilege to design a wing system for OEC and suggest captains and LTs and such, man, that was great.

Other Octavians... that left a mark on me hummm (not in order):

Chubby, Liet (my WOW4 hero - after brutus video), feldman, Magnus, Algore, WildBill, InterOrka, Axxeman, Purge, Cavalier (old beta pilot).. wow, many pilots.

On the quants... Disposable, GrimGriz, Regan (that first wow was awesome lol), MegaMichi, Gent, Arnon52 and Aphelion (not like we hanged out much but), wow, many folks.

Sols, most definitely uncle Lothar, I see your account is still active and we still wonder where are you buddy. Vulture83, Mike21, Nighthawk (bows to pappy), dahalb, Romulus (for the awesome mining contests), McP, Spacious, Cogs (for being there when we needed you). Many many folks (its 8 years plus, can't remember many names)... ah wait, Fence, for allowing me the privilege to be the pilot of the shuttle01 ship that many times, it was a blast man.

My boys/girls in StormRaiders, dome001, Tazor, J_Prime, Baius, unver_FJB, Odd_Jobs, Phillip_Ian, wow, Im missing 50+ names. KiaDevil, sarah-mari, hehehe, 24 24 24 24 24 Sorry had to Kia :P

And from the ND team, most definitey Istvan, for sticking with us for sooooo long, GM_Omega and GM_Khronos, best event managers ever had to interact with. And to the new, which I can't disclose :P

And guess it wouldnt be enough if I left Scorch out he kept the game running all this time, just dont forget about it too much

Ahhhh you thought I was going to leave you out? Jump for allowing me to be a pain in the bumper to work as moderator for the first time Evar

That is the problem with these kind of lists...there is always someone who gets overlooked.

I could fill this forum with the names. I can't think of many that I didn't enjoy flying with/against. But, if I had to pick some toppers, not necessarily in order of importance:

Antikas and Jonny Prime for the JPR experience. I still chuckle when I think about those first tests way back when. Who woulda thunk it would become what it was. Makes me want to do a show just thinking about it.

rt-mus for picking up the JPR mantle.
Chewcaca and Ceryn for actually listening for almost all the 18-hour marathon CC Show.
Brutus, just for being Brutus.
Karash and Cobramac for being the straight up shizzit. While I only flew a few times with them, all I can say is hard core.
Chubain, WB, and RedLeg and the OAS, my first squad
Tritian IDC FOREVER.
Liet and GRasputin (with honorable mention to TexMurphy) for stealing my water (I still am waiting for it to be returned).
Russian -- because he got being a pirate
Ridgeway for teaching me how to fight in the old Oct tow.
feldman for driving me to the point of insanity multiple times (an assist goes to swampy)
biteme for his spelling
alphabet and dedsquirrl for making space interesting.
Tesrend and Ambrosius for being great nemisises.
SingleShot, for being good enough to kill me from another sector, but never talking smack about it. (I think I am still jaded )
Aslan he was a schmuck, but it was fun watching him lead the noobs to the EEA slaughter.
The Tyke ditto
Mike21, Osprey, and everyone in DragonEye - they are just great guys. Peregrine for the win.

and last, and definately not least purge. An all around good guy...when he is on your team.

Even with that list, there are only about 150 more or so to list.

It is nice to be recognized. I am honored that I have helped make the game fun.

[Lordopic]

Flowbar, one chilled out dude, a great teacher for all things flux.

-MoonR- the Undisputed GOD of fluxing.

Vorlon31 for being a cool squad leader ( thats 5 mill by the way )

Regan. for all the long chats, whilst i was hanging on :Help doing my bit for the noobs.

A whole host of players that never made the switch from EU to US.

A whole host of players that did but have left.

FC as they are all cool people hell i like most people in Jumpgate cant say i like every one but i cant say i hate anyone in Jumpgate, saying that some have come close but then its a game after all.

Oh and that lordopic fella what a guy!!!

[Sephiroth]

Far too many to list really.

Ridgeway - best leader I've ever flown under
Zaltys - probably the most fun/talented pilot to have on your wing.
Liet - easily the funniest guy to play Jumpgate ever
WileE, Antikas, JP - The early days of getting JPR up and running was a blast.
Tritian - one of the most fun bad guys to play the game
Karash, Chubain, Ambrosius, Tesrend - mostly these guys were my enemies, but whether fighting with them or against them it was a lot of fun.
Russian and the Gang - kick ass pirate RP. Playing WoW with them briefly was good times. I continue to watch what they are playing in case they play something that interests me.
MjaFlip - fellow Canadian, crazy son of a bitch and his camera :P
Delerium and Tstrike - the guys who got me in to PvP way back when
SingleShot - fellow Canadian, fun to fight with/against in general! Peterborough rocks, don't try to tell me otherwise!
CaptainCow - Moo! (Fellow Canadian :P)
Aphelion and Mr. 1908 - I definately miss the ISU days with you guys.
MegaMichi - my brief stint in her squad was cool

pretty much the rest of ISU too, best squad I was ever apart of.

Man, I'm sure I've missed all kinds of people but here is my list anyway.

So many good memories.

[Golgath]

we are looking at Pirates of the Burning Sea next Seph.
also Age of Conan and Warhammer online
but WAR is essentially a WOW clone.

On topic:
Russian and all the Gangsters: Drunk singing on TS FTW
Sephiroth: had many nice convos
Karash: taught me alot about combat
Aslan: I liked chasing his Tow of doom around and watching him jump away with next to no armor left
Rockdoctor (RIP): Chasing his scout with my scout was some of the best fun i EVER had
MEEP: just cuz his rp was cool

[Sephiroth]

Age of Conan and WAR don't interest me in the least

How is PotBS? Or maybe I should just head on over to the forums later

[Radi]

Too many to mention, but from the top of my head

kingmonkey and Antikas - for being pretty easy going and funny
CaptainCow - Moo! The only flying Cow.
SS and zaltys - mad fighting skills
Tesrend - quant god
Gent - for his coolness under fire and teaching how to pvp like nobody else
Liet - cuz of nasty F4's after getting killed by a spamm
spork - great wingman and awesome posts
mcbrmx - TS, enough said
Regan - she knows why
DE guys - great bunch of people
Ambro - great guy

[Tritian]

This is gonna be tough. Here are some I can remember, and I apologize if I leave anyone out which I most definitely am going to do. There were just so many cool people in Jumpgate.

Anyway, lets start in a very loose chronological order:

While I was Solrain: (beta and early retail)
BYX: DemonEatr, DocWilco, fawx, bai, and sickman. They all got me into Jumpgate during open beta, and we formed our squad 'byx' after the private IRC network we hung out in.
Hink: gave me some start up cash when I joined the game, and was an all around great guy. Loved his traveling store. =)
Hurricane: gave me some cash aswell, and hooked me up with my Light Fighter when I hit level 9 in beta.
PJMTPocket (sic): My first kill at the end of beta during the huge FFA.
JADE: They kick-started PvP on the retail server at a time when everyone was busy hording money. They gave me something to hate, and something to fight. =)
JackOften: Several very good battles, which he always seemed to win, barely. My hatred for him got me into PvP'ing on a regular basis. =P
DSA: It seemed like my only allies in fighting JADE and PHOENIX at the start of retail.
Liet: great pilot and long-time killing companion. Awesome teamspeak conversations. However, being Solrain when I first met him, I absolutely hated him. =-)
Snoy and AbeLincoln (Spacemonkeys): I loved to hate them. Some of the first people on my KOS list. They were cool dudes also.

While I was Oct: (and various other accts)

Ixholla, for being an overly cool dude and giving me a senior position in his new squad Madji when I defected to the Octs.
Venom: The logistics backbone of the EEA, he made it all possible.
OSP and the Octavian Confederation (or whatever they were called): For pissing me, Ixhola, and Venom off so much that we moved into EE and formed the EEA. =) Ixholla and Venom did most of the work. I was just along for the ride. =)
NatGun and Berzerker: Two of the funniest cats on teamspeak, and will fight to the bitter end. (albeit, with a fair bit of bitching. =P)
G.Rasputin: I'm not sure when he started flying w/ us, because he was with OSP for awhile. But G.Rasputin ROCKS. =)

OK, at this point i'm having trouble remembering chronological-like order. So umm, lets do it based on squads. I'm really sorry if I dont mention you, as it's 4:30am and i should probably start wrapping this up. =)

Red Guard:
Panzer: El' Capitan. Great guy, leader, and capitol pimp. Red Guard forever.
Patroklos, CptMorgan/Chemdog, Knez: Fearless and skillful pilots, Octavians of the highest caliber.

HAMMER:
Machine, Chewcaca, HoneyRider/Ceryn, Epsilon, etc.. All great guys (and girls) that were a blast on TS. Wish I flew more missions with you. I know i'm leaving out a few.

IDC:
WileE: Long live the Empire! We had some great battles fighting against those dirty Quants. Our squad wasn't large, but we made up for it by always being right in the thick of the RP, and a large part of that was you.

Pay or Die:
Most of PoD I flew with from other squads, and have mentioned already. I didn't let people in who I didn't know, or who didn't come highly recommended. Everyone was great.
DrKronic: One of the first members of PoD. He was a great pirate, and that is a high honor. Arrrr.
Sephiroth: I regret not letting you into PoD earlier, but your mission to assassinate TTelephone was top priority. I know you understand, but still, sorry. =)
COC: LOL @ killing you w/ rastamon during the sent attack @ GVB. Hearing you screaming "someone get rastamon off me!*#(!@" on Teamspeak was hilarious. =)

ISU:
Great times @ ISU w/ the flashfire blockade and holding GBS/SS. ISU was a very large squad, and I'm too tired to list off everyone's name, but I just wanted to mention that Ridgeway is The Man. =)

JITW:
Most of the people in JITW I already mentioned and flew with before, but i'd like to put shout outs to Brooster (our own Propaganda Minister Goebbels), Ntwad, Faroh, mcbrmx (Muah hah hah hah hah), roheryn, Toph, and even JerkFace. =P

Misc:
Hrafn: RP'd a great zealot, was fearless.
FSMrKat: Great pilot, and helped me kill matter tows when it was very controversial. =)
Netburnrol: I forget which squad we started flying together with, but you were always good to have on my wing.
The Gang: Allowed us to shack up with them at Lothars Landing when I was running Pay or Die, which pissed off the Sols a lot. Russian is a great guy, and all of The Gang were stand up people who had a great attitude towards the game. I have many fund memories of just about everyone in The Gang.
Elpirata: Great guy, the Disposable vs Stormraiders battle were great, and so was WoW afterwards. =)

People I loved to hate:

Wizard401: LOL!!! The F4's were hilarious, I don't care what anyone says. I looked forward to them every fight. =)
McPlowed: We never got along IC, but OOC you seem like a cool dude.
Isorg: I will forever remember your hate post on the FRG forums about how I should burn in holy baptist hell for all eternity. The LOL's were never ending.
Aslan: As someone previous had mentioned, the newb slaughter at EEA was hysterical. This was Aslan at his best. The RP spinning posts afterwards were expertly executed. However, you were a tool for splashing our equipment.
TexMurphy, Aubrey, Mike21, biteme, usalman, Jonboy, feldman, ugh... too many to lists. Sols had some stand-up pilots. Wish I had played my Sol accounts more often.
