Is this a famous entropians thread, or a nod to old players thread?
Because in 5 years I have not seen most of the names on this list in game.
Look, being famous requires more than being a moderator, or being the first guy to discover Modified Fart Pack VI and sell it for a profit, or even being a ridiculous scammer.
You have to do something big.
Nukem and Sinofmen are famous because the level of their scam involved people from multiple societies, involved 2 years of verbal abuse and shenanigans aimed at anyone who opposed them, involved MA staff creating a special mothership (Ark Royal) because they missed their bid window, and involved this pair eventually trying to steal all of this and more. The consequences of these 2 peoples actions are still felt, not just by their society members, but by everyone around. I still have conflict with people involved in this for no better reason then they are too ashamed/stubborn to admit they were wrong. Other players learned some hard lessons. Some players lost their avatars over the lies here. Many players outright quit.
My honest opinion is threads like this are basically a "HEY LOOK HOW OLDSKOOL I AM I CAN TOSS AN OBSCURE NAME OUT OF THE HAT" effort.
Fame is about the lessons we learned from people, or the lessons they continue to teach us. Not about who's virtual hard-on we can stroke.
