The Stig is the best one, he never lose, just sometimes he needs to leave from the game

The Paddz. Hands down. Everyone's W/L ratio was terrible against him. Honestly back in the day I did beat him 1v1 4 out of about 10 times, but he had Carn's number and I never beat Carn once.. not once.

Jim-UK was pretty good too. I think he and Paddy always had pretty close matches.

I can agree that Paddy was one of the best players. If I had to pick, I'd probably pick him as the best, but I do recall many good players over time. Mplayer/early GSA had some killer players.
I recall Paddy's height, IMO was when he was in UK. UK/XII had some of best players if you ask me. They would always battle eachother and they always accepted challenges. When they weren't accepting challenges, they would fight eachother. Paddy excelled at spread mana. I recall KingKong always playing with/against Paddy. Along with Paddy, I'd agree Carn was also up there. Along with Immy.
There were many other good players. CW had Chippy. Tho with his Aussie ping/bandwidth limits he sometimes got put at a disadvantage.
Fastforward to the end of GSA; and I'd say that 6T6 worked really well together. SOMA was one of my favorite people to play against. Very witty. Thirsha (Spiel) had some pretty impressive games too. And when these guys were on the same team, they had really good teamwork. They also mastered the shadow building with gates/mons and Spiel/Soma were the ones to teach me Thirsha's ranged wave, totem blocking.
On a side note; Sage what the hell happened to your brother?

I remember copperheard always being the tourny winner on the gamespy being from UK I couldn't ever play the tournies due to the times. Though I did beat copperhead a few times.
CW had a lot of great players. Lupo+beaver and yourself Clay, i was fairly decent back in the GS days. I remember wafflecakes+homsac WG being good too.
Started playing again over the past 2 days, so would be great to play a few. Usually hosting on GR

Yeah... it's not like I was going 'OMG I have to beat paddy' and got nervous. He smurfed me repeatedly in tournaments and still beat me. Although I could tell it was him pretty early during the match.

Hey there!
I just played some Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (amazing game, if you liked this you should like it) and it made me think of this game so I came here and signed up. Then this post made me think of all the old people I used to play with. Maybe some of them are still here.
I remember back in beginning in the Boneyard days and Mplayer days my brother RedMustard and I would play quite often. We weren't the best players but we played a lot and had a lot of fun. Great community! Some of the best players I remember were someone named shadow and Corey but I think they may have had numbers on the end of their names or something or other. Maybe my brother would remember since he was in their clan I think which I also don't remember the name of. It was like 15 years ago after all.
I was one of the founding members of Avenging Angels with an Australian kid and his dad I do believe. Very nice people. Those were some fun times alright! I don't think I ever got on Gamespy. Mplayer was the end of it for me. So many good times. Thank you!
My vote would have been shadow and Corey for the best players of all time (at least up to when Mplayer disappeared and Boneyards never worked anymore) but my brother was pretty good too.

Joker has always been a heavy hitter with his monarch, probably one of the best in recent memory. Don't let the guy get cannons out or you are fucked. He likes small maps because it puts him in his element.

Hey thats me!
Between Tarosking/Copperhead I won 3 or 4 KOTH tourneys. A-train and I always came close in the 2v2's but usually lost to teams of Paddy/Manxie or Paddy/Carn.
I'm a little late to this post, but since i'm scrolling back through memory lane.. Paddy, Carnage, Jim009, and Darksphere were always the guys that I tried my hardest to beat and failed to do so most of the time. There were others that were definitely good in that era and could win in any given game, just not as consistently as those guys.
Whoever Ying is though, thanks for the ego stroking.
