Conquer Club

I've been meaning to start a thread for a while to get some recon going on specialists. I play a lot (relative to being freemium) of pick-up matches, and in my battles I've come across unmistakable niche players who have nothing but 1 map in their history, or specialize on certain settings, etc. I thought it would be worthwhile to start a place to track who the many specialists are. So if you've got one, or are one yourself, post below:

[---Suggested Form---]
Player:
Rank (as of date):
Games played:
Win Rate:
Specialist Skills:
Known Weaknesses:
Temperment (chat, etc.):
[---End Form---]

I won't start, but I'll have some to add if this gets off the ground. Anyone at any rank is fair game... however, coming up with useless forum posts is not a specialty so I probaby don't qualify.

you and your incomplete threads with promises of stats and grandeur that you will come back and fill in later... maybe you should get it all together first, THEN start the thread. perhaps you could contact blitzaholic and ask him how he is able to keep his Top 5 thread so up to date. i have a feeling that this, like your freemium hall of fame, are going to fall off the front page within a week... oh, and are premium players allowed in this one or is this another freemium deal?-0

p.s.-here comes the "owen, owen, owen" response...

Premium, freemium all are welcome. I've got nothing to add ... if the idea isn't picked up I don't want to just start a thread and name 3-4 players and that's it. I want to see some posts by the cc community. This is not like the freemium Hall of Fame, which I was going to manage. Just post using the form and that's it.

WELL - I'M GOING WITH IT ANYWAY. THE STICKY ABOUT KLOBBER PUNKING NEWB's ON CIRCUS MAKES IT PRETTY PLAIN THAT THIS THREAD COULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO APPLAUD THE GOOD AND EXPOSE THE BAD.
