UPDATED DEC 24, 2014:
The entire list will be revealed sometime tomorrow on Christmas day.

UPDATED OCT 28, 2014:
The rest of the entries will be done with a more visually appealing presentation. The remaining 15 should be completed in November (of this year).

UPDATED AUG 2, 2014:
Slowly but surely this will be completed someday.

UPDATED AUG 19, 2013:
This is a cumulative analysis after years of playing the game. Everything is subjective, so please don't take it personally if you don't agree with where I placed certain individuals. I have also included a rubric on how I grade individuals. Read the following below on how I will evaluate players:

Criteria: Possible maximum of 45 points

A. Legitimacy [1 ---> 10]
One of the most controversial things about our game is whether or not ex-hackers should be allowed to be put into a list such as this. I think so. For those who have been caught hacking in the past, I have graded them more harshly than those with a clean record. Remember that everything is subjective.

LEGITIMACY SCORE SYSTEM


B. Skills [1 ---> 10]
Having knowledge is one thing, but being able to apply it during game time is another. While having knowledge is important in succeeding, being able to execute it effectively is much more vital. There are a lot of knowledgeable people that aren't great players. Then there are others that aren't knowledgeable in every facet of the game, but are still able to succeed due to their natural ability to play the game. Lastly, there are a rare group of individuals that are both knowledgeable and skilled at the same time. These folks are the ones that will score the highest in this category.

SKILLS SCORE SYSTEM


C. Knowledge [1 ---> 10]
Certain people in this community have been able to dissect and understand the game better than others. These individuals understand the nuances of the game that other simple-minded folks would rather ignore than embrace. Many of the skeptics of snipers have claimed that this game requires no skill. For us more experienced players, this is not the case. Certain pioneers of various tactics such as glitching, shs, dlocks will be also ranked higher in this category.

KNOWLEDGE SCORE SYSTEM


D. Teamwork [1 ---> 10]
A partner that you have great chemistry with is usually more than enough to give your team the upper-hand against your opponents. There are certain individuals that will adapt to their partners style of play to compliment their games. For others, it's either their way or the highway. There are people that I've been able to play with over the years simply because their style works with mine or that they are team players. To be clear, this category has to do with an individuals ability to play with others. There are a lot of people that have shitty personalities, but can still play a team game.

TEAMWORK SCORE SYSTEM


E. Personality[1 ---> 5]
Why did I add a category where someone's likableness counts towards their value as a sniper player? For partners, I tend to play better with people that I get along with. People that are calm and collected put me at ease during game time. People that get nervous and angry easily can ruin the momentum/chemistry of the team. If I can't stand you, there is a higher chance of me playing under stress. I hate stress. I think you get the point here. If I were facing you, games are more fun to play in when both parties have nothing to lose. These are games where the outcome won't make or break relationships. This isn't to say that I don't like competition. I thrive it, but there are those that treat this game like it's larger than life. Yes, I enjoy this game a lot, but there is no reason to create unnecessary drama. At the end of the day, one of the reasons why the game is dying simply because of these cancerous personalities. One exception from what I just mentioned are those players that are sore losers. Even if you are easy to deal with outside of the game doesn't mean that you are just as pleasant to be around during games. These people will also be ranked low in this category.

PERSONALITY SCORE SYSTEM


Tie Breaking Process:
If there is a tie in overall rating, I will decide the higher ranked player based on this order: Legitimacy > Skills > Knowledge > Teamwork > Personality
If players are tied in every single category, I will just choose the player I think is better skill-wise.

Mav really didn't want a list of the people he put up so that his work would go to waste.

Thanks a lot for doing what he specifically stated he didn't want to do earlier in the topic.

Update this :P (Just the psychic part)

It wasn't meant to be in order. I think the overall accuracy of who will appear should be very close, though.

I am definitely surprised that GreaT was top 10. I guess I missed a few years there from 03-05 when he was that good.
This is all (obviously) subjective, but I never thought Great was good. His play style fit a sort of niche that gave a lot of people problems, but in actuality he just employed a method to cheese wins from people. The easiest way to beat him was to play his own strategy against him, and when you did that it was obvious how glaringly bad he was in the fundamentals of snipers.

I disagree with the Mav's placement of a lot of people in this list, but this is by far the biggest. I don't think he should be anywhere near the top 10.

I agree aCe, I played this game for awhile, and I don't think I can recall over 500 tournaments and I know damn well Tyler didn't win all of them. I think the list has been pretty good overall, obviously subjective lists are going to differ based on opinion. Snipers was one of the greatest, if not the greatest game I've ever played. It was fun gaming with you all (sentimental talk over).

Just use the magic 8 ball for the rest of your list like you have been doing for the last 93 people.
Maverick: "Should I make a list of my top 101 friends of all time?" - "It is decidedly so."
Maverick: "Have people realized I am actually making a list of the biggest idiots of all time?" - " Very doubtful."
Maverick: "Am I gay?" - "Better not tell you now."

Given all the circumstances, I'm not unhappy with my ranking. Nonetheless, GreaT being ranked in the top ten proves just how much stock Mav has put into snipers who are either his friends or have been among the most active for the past couple of years, even though the past couple of years should not really indicate much. GreaT never has at any point been better than me or the grand majority of the players placed behind him.


Of course, every one of these lists made by anyone (including myself) would be terribly biased in some way or other. Mav's bias has not really benefited myself or many others, but I won't say his opinion is wrong. But in my own opinion, this whole thing has kind of just been a bust.

Seeing how i can t ype around 80 words per minute..."get a hobby" really doesn't apply. ANd its been how many years since mav even started this??? Better question is, why did you feel the need to comment to defend mav on something minuscule as posting a reminder??
