Mad props to Elf, at least I think he is the one who has been digging around finding all kinds of tourney info and saving it for posterity.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I think most of the Myth 2 tournament info is also on the Myth Community History section of mything.org.

Well, the best way to keep the community page would be to prove that someone else does care (ie suply a third party source that talks about the members of the community.)

I'm just not sure any exist =-).

just a note:
there's something special in knowing that myrk and drizzt (both of whom were WINNERS of SEVERAL FFA AND 1v1 2v2 TOURNAMENTS) were once one of the most dominant individual players across the board. it's important to know just how dominant civil was, and how dominant np was afterwards. it's even awesome to know that even after everybody 'peaked', chohan walked in and took 1v1ing and individual player skills to a whole new level.

you wouldn't say that michael jordan doesn't deserve a wiki entry. anybody who developed an interest in myth, aka that game players have been competing across for the last decade, would not be uninterested by the most dominant players of all time (who are actually few in number, easy to identify, and have credentials to back it up).

but WHATEVER.

i'm happy that there is a good wiki entry for myth. (props again, elf)

i wonder who made the french page : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_%28jeu_vid%C3%A9o%29 but gj anyway !

I like Myth as much as the next person, but comparing Michael Jordan to a top ranked Myth player is just pretty darn silly imo.

I am a big fan of information and cataloging stuff and think it's fine if someone wants to write about top Myth players of all time, but I still say it's not really fitting as part of a 'general interest' article about the game of Myth on wikipedia. As part of an article about ranked game play on a Myth game site, or even better in the context of 1v1 tournaments the discussion of top ranked/tournament players would be very appropriate/fitting.

The main problem I would see in having a discussion of 'top myth players' open for editing in a place like wikipedia is that UNLESS the discussion were limited to semi-universally agreed upon criteria like say the number of 1v1 tournaments won by different players then any ranking is going to be purely subjective and probably the topic of a lot of flames/edit-wars. That said, if anyone WANTS to write the definitive article about Myth ranked players/tournament winners drop me a line - I'd be happy to have it in the myth community history site.

True dat, I didn't even play my first game of Myth (TFL) until 1998.

Yeah, nowadays I check it on occasion but I tend to let it run itself. The tabular format someone put it in is really good (I think it was Savanarola or however it's spelt) but unfortunately tournies without 'real' sources were deemed no longer countable so a lot was taken out. It's still pretty good tho.
