I honestly cannot believe it took me years to find out that this forum existed. I still remember using Slack FFA Replays to post my stuff (was it this name again? Can't remember)
Well my memory is atrocious so please don't be mad at me if you're not in the list >_<
A few notable in a completely unordered list:
X[Hunters]: The guy who got me into FFA's to begin with. Great guy.
PencilWarrior: One of the best and most well mannered players I have ever met. Gargles Fan <3
EbonyGoddess: Listed here because he was a royal pain in the ass but in the end was a really nice guy. How I hated playing with him tho.
f-l-y: Also one of the best and most well mannered players I have met. God how I hated his panda tho.
Rice: Pure WC3 orc skillz. I still remember my first encounter with him vividly. At that point I used to have friends over my house to watch me play (they found FFA quite exciting to watch). It was on Twilight Ruins with some other 2 people I don't remember. I beat up my guy quite quickly and moved on to attack Rice. I wasn't aware that the battle with Rice and the other guy had extended itself and therefore it turned (at first without my knowledge) into a 2x1.
Rice destroyed the other guy quickly afterwards and we proceeded to have an 1x1 with me having quite a gold advantadge due to his extended battle with the other guy. I managed to beat Rice after some long battles but my gold advantage beat him more than anything. I remember my friends who were watching telling me "well that game was easy" and I knew it had not been. This guy was actually really really good and had not been for the gold I would be in serious trouble. So good that he ruled over the ladder for months after he got the hang of FFA, leaving me on that period relegated to a distance second place (ugh, damn you Rice).
Zakazulu: My personal nemesis, not because he was good (he was a one trick pony) but because it was sooo much fun to be in a game with him because when he was losing, he started blurting the most nonsensical curse words on the book, with letters all inverted, like someone was just banging curse words furiously on the keyboard.
I remember a game with him, PencilWarrior, EbonyGoddess. Ebony towered up and tried to hoard, as usual, so me and Pencil went after him while Zaka sat back and built his hippochims just waiting. After killing off Ebony, Pencil was debilitated and decided to leave, leaving me with no money, little army against Zaka with hippochims to spare in a small map. I attacked an expansion with all I had and as he was porting over to fight, I D&D the bulk of his base while he was busy fighting, leaving him crippled to rebuild. At the end of the game I only had the lich vs his beastmaster and managed to pull off a win after hours of back and forth (and cursing from him, obviously).
Honorable mentions: UnholyDreadlord, Wrecktify, rebbatS, Marn, and so many others <3
