Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!

[manonfire]

Also maybe Rame and (wince) Henna.

[Ender]

Merena, Enu and Gold may be good additions to the old school Byn list.

Enu maybe

Merena and Gold weren't in the Byn that long though.

[X-D]

Gold would be one of my Tor picks.

[LoD]

I don't agree. Nothing against Sujaal, but it was a sponsered Role.  If he would have worked his way from runner to LT and beyond, he would be on the list probly. But he started as LT...Meh..when you are handed that many advantages to start....No, if I was going to mention Sujaal in an allstar list it would be in one of the northern lists. I don't think he was a good bynner, I do think he was a great northern patriot.

Not that it matters as far as "the list" goes, but this is 100% false.

As the player of Sujaal, I can assure you that he began as a brand new warrior character with no special skills or favors other than what he earned on level ground with anyone else.  He began at the rank of Runner like everyone else.  He worked his way up to Sergeant like everyone else.  And he eventually earned the rank of Lieutennant after almost a RL year within the Byn.  He served the Byn for 30 IC years and was directly responsible for the northern T'zai-Byn compound being constructed.

You're certainly entitled to think he was a chump, but please don't spread misinformation.

[Conspiracy Theory]

I was going to say, X-D, that I believe one of my first characters served under Sujaal when he was a Sergeant, so that is obviously false and I'm not sure where you'd come up with that. In fact, I'm not sure where you get any of your information and all of your vast "combat experiance", but most of it seems flawed to me, based on your postings since I've been playing.

Yup, I was gonna say that but LoD obviously beat me to the punch.

[X-D]

Shrug, Never said he got any special skills and such,.
And though I had PCs in the Byn at the time, its possible I mis-remember who worked up and who was sponsered...My bad. It has been a while after all.

Though, I still did not like Sujaal as a bynner...just never seemed like one to me.

Like I said, I feel he came into his own after the byn and in the north.


And BTW, I never said in any way that I thought he was a chump.

Defend your PC if you want, but defend on shit I actually say..not what you assume from being butthurt on the deal.

[Malken]

But he started as LT...Meh..when you are handed that many advantages to start....

What are the 'many advantages' are you speaking of, then?

[Hot_Dancer]

I was fixing to say, I remember n00b Sujaal and his terrible stat roll..

[Zoltan]

Tzai Byn

1.  Tarq
2.  Axel
3.  Lara
4.  Sharak
5.  Tarq
6.  Tears
7.  Tears
8.  We had no heros...its the Byn.
9.  Fathi
10.  Fatty (best bynner ever IMO)

Good list, X-D. Tears was before my time, though. And I have to agree: Fatty was probably the best example of a Bynner I've seen yet.

[Obeliskocism]

Only Kurac and the Byn are fielding complete teams. 

where are the others?

[FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWit]

LoD speaks the truth. I remember playing under Sujaal when he was just a Sergeant. Practically all I remember him as. He was a very serious Sergeant, and seemed proud to be a Bynner. I remember him sitting my n00b warrior down, trying to convince him to stay in the Byn. It worked; he never joined Borsail, and ended up staying with the Byn for life. Sujaal also publically defended the Byn a few times... if somebody bad-mouthed Bynners within earshot of Sujaal, he'd be sure to give 'em an earful. Sujaal was a Bynner through and through, even if he did eventually get coverted into a damn bunny-hugging Tuluki.
I'm surprised Akasha wasn't mentioned in any Byn list. She seemed very popular at the time... made it all the way to LT. If she didn't make it, then I guess a case can't be made for the character I played, Kinneus. Virtually unknown, but he was Akasha's right-hand man, and practically taught her how to emote.
Templar Shome should also be made an honorary Bynner. She lead more Bynners off cliffs than every Sergeant I've ever known combined!
Also, I fully support Shatuka and Pendeh for any Kurac lists.
The Plainsman gets the award for "Best Sorcerer EVAR".
That is all.

[Mr.B]

I think the fact remains that Sujaal was bar none a fixture of the Byn and one of the most memorable characters in the Byn of all time. To leave him out of an all-stars pick is like picking an Arm o' the Dragon team without Ihsahn Kasix. (hint hint) Akasha should have also been in a Byn list somewhere or other, she was another really good one.

[Fathi]

My clan's all-star team is all alive and active, so I can't really tell you who they are.

[Kronibas]

Berlian Lutalo definitely rates a spot in the top ten of the Byn.  In my book he's right up there alongside Kroz and Kazyn.. yet they pale to Sujaal.

I'm in agreement with the notion that a single player could fill the ultimate leader category with a few of his characters.  You know who you are.

As far as Kurac goes, the yellow mul, Davaz, and naturally Sargax deserve a spot up there in the upper crust.  Seriously, dudes.

Vedelarin and Pearl take the pick for the top two in House Borsail, hands down.  They left a helluva fierce impact on the game.

Independent goon squad.  Hmm.  There's a lot of them, but I have to name Durg as my pick here.  Because he was dwarven, independent, and ran shit.

As others have mentioned, this lineup all lived and played at the same time, making it a really cool experience. Fenix might deserve honorary scheming bastard after Sharak.

The problem with this is that few single players have enough perspective (time in a single clan) to make a comprehensive list.  You end up with lists that are, instead, just the crew that one particular person had fun playing with.

Also... how is one to judge which leader was the best?  Or who was the best sneak?  Or spy?  Or how are sneak and spy even different?  Do these things go by clan rank achieved?  Playtime?  Body count?

Sorry, it's just too problematic and/or controversial, so I'm not really going to bother.

This, also.

Scaredy cats. 

Salarr has a good crew, but it's still active. Same with the Tablelands. Not sure about CAM or AoD. I'd list some from Tuluk, but who really cares about them?

Yes I'm taunting you bunny huggers into participating

See first sentence, second clause. Or close enough.

[Only He Stands There]

Salarr has an amazing crew, and it's still active, because there can be no "buts" when describing Salarr's greatness.

Fixed.

I see, so that's how it's gonna be?  It's hard to narrow it down to just ten.

Tuluk:

1.  Eunoli
2.  Mali
3.  Sujaal
4.  Rothairh
5.  Rykon
6.  The Ghost of the Gol Krathu
7.  couldn't decide, too many to list and too IC
8.  Auren
9.  Prophet
10.  Zak

edited to take out any that are still active
