The most well known people of the VS community

Post by Alyeska »

Well, this is an interesting idea. Who is the most well known in our little VS community? I think its fair to assume that SB.com, SD.net, and ASVS are the primary locations that debate the subject (specificaly ST vs SW). Who would you list as most well known?

Here are a few catagories to consider.

Most well known Trekkie Trolls
Most well known respected and/or rational Trekkies
Most well known Warsie Trolls
Most well known respected and/or rational Warsies
Longest known Trekkies
Longest known Warsies
Worst Trekkie Trolls
Worst Warsie Trolls

Just one rule. No picking yourself for any of the catagories. Also, this thread isn't meant to bash anyone except for maybe Sovereign, Galaxy, Space Luigi, or those like them (specificaly bad trolls, not Trekkies in general).

Is this in response to that noob troll not knowing who you were at SB?

Wes Hutching I guess. I haven't encountered many, and those I have have been beaten down by everyone very quickly. Though I suppose Poe and Wong from the trekkie troll POV
Most well known respected and/or rational Warsies
Ossus has been building quite the reputation, Wong and Poe are there but they aren't respected at all by certain extreme factions. Brian Young, though I'm not sure he counts as a warsie, he was never into the vs debating, just did TLC. Ditto for Saxton and Brown
Longest known Trekkies
Grahm Kennedy I suspect.
Longest known Warsies
Saxton, Young, Wong, Brown, Dalton, Poe
Worst Trekkie Trolls
See list at first question, though a personel favorite of mine is one who popped up at SB by the name of Wraith AKA Cereal Killer AKA half a dozen other names who kept changing them abecause he kept getting banned.
Worst Warsie Trolls
I would say the Wars person out there who is currently the most loathed by the majority of the VS community (at large, not just ST vs SW) is Saxton :D

I would argue that being disliked and being a troll are entirely different things.

Saxton does not count, not involved in the vs dabate, or any that I know of.

I'd add E1701 and Chris O'Farrell to the list of rational Trekkies.

Ahh, Trancend..how can I forget his memorable exit from ASVS? I cannot, for it was hilarious.

Well, there IS this one guy, called SPOOFE, that is the smartest and most rational Warsie ever created. People send him presents. Although he is a tad narcissistic.

Wait... Transcend is a warise? Given how much he hurts their cause most of the time I figured he was a trekkie.

Most well known Trekkie Trolls: This one would probably have to be Gram Kennedy. DITL is very well known. Some would want to put DarkStar up there, although I hestitate to do so.

Most well known respected and/or rational Trekkies: I have to place Lord Edam and The Darkling up here. Chris O'Farrell of course gets my vote as well.

Most well known Warsie Trolls: Prior to ICS I could list quite a few people in this list... ;)

Most well known respected and/or rational Warsies: Much as Poe and myself loath each other, I see him as a respected Warsie. Mike certainly qualifies. I also have to place Ossus up here. Of course I also have to list Howedar because we like to talk VS from time to time and discuss ideas.

Longest known Trekkies: Gotta list Kennedy again.

Longest known Warsies: Drawing a blank here.

Worst Trekkie Trolls: This one is either Sovereign or Space Luigi. Much as people dislike DarkStar or Kennedy, these two are about as bad as Trolls get.

Worst Warsie Trolls: Again, drawing a blank here.

I think of Sean as a Fiver more then a SW or ST debator.

Really, if this were just the vs community as a whole nad not just ST vs SW this would be alot easier. Most of the people who inspired me to try new series and taught me stuff fall into neither category. Same goes for the worst trolls I've ever encountered.

Ok, lets make this a bit bigger. Sure this is the ST vs SW forum, but I think we can expand upon it. ST vs SW started it, but it evolved into a larger VS community.

So, who makes your list?

Ubiqtorate hasn't been mentioned for the respected Warsies, so I'll mention him. He doesn't post often, but when he does, his posts are informative and well-done.

I'll add Alyeska to the Respected Trekkies list.

EDIT: Oh, you should go on the corresponding Wars list as well.

But then again, Darkstar said a Federation Type 2 phaser was more powerful than a HTL.

It's all relative. :P

Darkstaris the worst trekie troll for the fact that he became certifiable to the point where he writes the fan mail of his own site. Andrew Joshua Talon for goin on SCN and saying that a Danube Class Shuttle/Runabout would waste an ISD.

Worst Warsie Trolls Ben Ingram, enough said i think and that Mike6102? idiot who just took things way to seriously.

For trekies i actually respect, Alyeska and The Darkling both make very insightful and intelligent posts occasionally.
