Honestly you might as well make a list...everyone is going to ask you anyway.
That shall be the ultimate outcome, but this way it will be easier for me to remember you people.
---
Silver Steak - first joined NES2 III, a friend of Erik Mesoy, apparently; in any case does have similar interests to him. Generally doesn't seem to play modern NESes very often, instead concentrating on fantasy and fresh starts, at both of which he is very good as far as I can tell.
Symphony D. - One of our (ex)military contingent, along with Finmaster. First joined CapNES I. Military-industrialist semitechnocratic imperial expansionist (phew!), American patriot but seems quite flexible in nation choice (though in NESes with USA, he will most probably try to take USA, especially a battered one). Is one of the few Americans here that (as far as I can discern from his debates with Jason) doesn't hate Bush. Likes sending awfully detailed orders, though since his first attempt at moding these got somewhat shorter. Is one of our best comparatively-new NESers. Am looking forward to fighting with him in PandaNES.
Lord_Iggy - A proud Canadian penguin (though surprisingly not an awfully evil one). Penguin-related story writer #1. Lost two Ottoman Empires because of vacations, and one simple Turkey because of mistrust. Pretty middling-to-good player, to be honest (though he IS improving), but a truly great mod who really should be updating right now instead of reading this.
tommy_toon - Yet another person about whom I can't remember anything specific.

Although he seems to like Latin American countries.
Kentharu - a crack-and-cookie-obsessed updatophile ("phile" as in zoophile, ofcourse - everyone is an updatophile in the less obscene meaning of the suffix) with a penchant for comparatively backward nations. Suffers from the Alex Syndrome - i.e. being more practical and flexible (and in this case sane) in the IC than in the OOC. Often gets beaten up regardless due to some naivity, though his stories and his OOC posts seem like they come from two different people.
North King - one of the better NESers right now (only, he isn't in many NESes), definitely one of the very best story-tellers, althistorians and mods; he would've been a great mod had his NESes been updated more often and lasted longer, as he no doubt knows because practically everybody has been telling this to him since at least stNNES3. Often has/had time problems in the past. Very flexible as far as nation choices go (though still clearly likes India). Likes to prowl the OT.
