The types of gatewars players
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 5:33 pm
Upon much consideration, I hereby announce my personal opinion as to the type of players in game that shape the game we play (excluding forum-based nonsense).
1) The Politicians
The politicians are essentially the leaders and major figures in the game. They are the players who build alliances and empires, making friends with those they like and starting wars with those they dislike. It should be noted that the many politicians also possess powerful accounts themselves in game as a great leader is one who leads by example. EtL, Robe, Jedi~Tank are all great examples of political leaders.
2) The Power-Players
This is that small number of players that have the very best accounts in the game. Many have been built by hard work, some acquired through other means. One thing is for sure, you want them on your side, not as your enemies. Key players in this category typically change rapidly as accounts change hands, but notable examples have included Bullseye, Rodwolf and Field Marshall.
3) The Under-Fighters
There are a number of players which do not fall into the above categories, but still make their name on the battlefield. They do not have the best accounts in the game, merely average or just above, and yet time and again they battle against those with bigger and better accounts, often successfully. These are the real under-fighters, those who can punch well above their weight. Never letting a challenge go unanswered they will always defend themselves and their friends. Notable names that fall in this category include Buck and Mathlord.
4) The Tradesmen
These are the men and women who quietly keep the game moving. They play the markets, always looking for profit; rarely fighting but always providing the services to keep the wars going on. Hippyfool was perhaps the most famous example of the tradesmen.
5) The Stat-lovers
Ever see someone with insanely high stats but who rarely puts them to use in the battlefield. Less common these days, but there are still some of them around i'm sure.
6) The Everyman
90% of the players in the game fall this category. They slowly go about their business, building their accounts and partaking in their alliances to some degree. They farm and raid occasionally, massing only when really required or pushed. They remain in obscurity happily, blending in with the rest; loyally obeying the orders of the politicians and in awe of the power players and under fighters.
7) The Idlers
PPT is their friend. They really do nothing else. Their accounts are essentially farms.
Which category do you fit into? Are there any categories i've missed?
