AKA Panda Judo Eel
Here are my impressions. Most people should be on here.
In alphabetical order:
#1 Person: A competent NESer. Has a habit of starting grandiose projects involving entire websites and multiple maps that die very quickly.
adherence: One of the best new NESers, in my opinion. His orders can sometimes be maddening, but they do have lots of detail.
alex994: Linked more to Rome than China in my mind, but obviously the Chinese fanatic. Has a habit of waiting until the last minute to send orders. Asks WAY too many questions--he's probably accounted for half the PMs pertaining to JalNES.
Amenhotep7: Long gone, but had a great WWI NES that was really long for a NES in the days before the NES II series.
Amirsan: I think he's disappeared, but way back he was the mod of my first NES.
andis-1: Hedgehogs. And world domination. He's a great tactician, and makes very helpful maps.
Azale: Always quits my NES after one or two turns.
Azash: Is he still around? Haven't seen him for a while. Regardless, a great ally in LINES I with a very unique nation, and funny stories.
BananaLee: Hong Kong and penguins. That's all, since I haven't played with him.
Birdjaguar: Also one of the best new NESers. Is great at finding research to back up his detailed tactics and espionage. Still a little too credulous, but that will change... oh, and I almost forgot to mention the awesome poetry!
Captain2: One of the tide of new NESers I don't know.
Capulet: From what I hear, a good tactician, but I never really played with him.
carmen510: A new NESer, known for outstandingly bad orders, apparently.
Cleric: Only into modern/future NESes, preferably involving chemical warfare.
Contempt: Mongols and Lengels. Strikes a very tough bargain, but obeys his agreements once they're made.
Cuivienen: One of the few female NESers, Tolkien addict, and mod of two really awesome NESes that died from her lack of free time.
Dachspmg: Roman fanatic. Always includes his troop placements in his orders, which I like. Not afraid to overthrow his own nation.
Daftpanzer: The outsider with the legendary past in S+T who revolutionizes NESing with his awesome, original NESes and amazing maps made in Flash. Also has a zeal for the surreal.
das: NES II. ITNES. Polar bears. (Grand)father of NESing. Doesn't kill NESes, ever. Need I say more?
Disenfrancised: Great mod, who gives his sections in updates their own titles. Now if only he'd update...
Drake Rlugia: Not much comes to mind. I believe he tried to mod a few NESes, which were good while they lasted...
Dreadnought: Unfortunately, can't think of much. Sorry. You're a good NESer.
emu: Abrupt to the point of rudeness, but my LINES II experience wouldn't be the same without him.
EQandcivfanatic: Modded the amazing RTOR2, and is haunted by it to this day, unable ever to have something else anywhere as successful.
erez87: Doesn't like to PM his orders.
Erik Mesoy: Probably the only NESer nerdier than I am, and that's a good thing. Programmer and meta-gamer. And he was the one who modded the stock market NES which I did so well in...
Fëanor: Old-time NESer. One of the Finns.
Finmaster: Another Finn, who modded nostalgic NESes that I could never get into but everyone else seemed to.
Gelion: Modded a modern NES. Another Finn, I believe, or at least a Scandinavian.
Harleqin: One of the oldest NESers (in terms of age, not years NESing). Mods the second-longest lasting random map NES.
Icmancin: Modder of not terribly accurate but still amusing althistories.
Imago: Newbie who jumped onto the scene with his NES and is still going strong.
Insane_Panda: France. Plays to win.
Israelite9191: A fellow participant in Model United Nations. Is obsessed with detail in his updates. I wish that NES hadn't died; Calpe was one of my favorite nation ideas...
jalapeno_dude: God incarnate, clearly.
Jason The King: Is he still around? Like EQ, an old-timer who hasn't been able to live up to stJNES4 and 5 ever again.
josefstalinator: I haven't played with him at all, but I do remember him as Fascist Spain in GoobNES taking over most of Europe, and harnassing the pope for his own ends...
justokre: Newcomer with an ambitous random map NES, which unfortunately died.
j_eps: New NESer who thinks I'm lazy.
Kal'thzar: Sparta. Says "can't be assed" a lot. Had an interesting pseudo-IT/BT NES that ran on and off for months.
Kamilian: No one who was in stKNES5 will deny that it was awesome. And it lasted, too. Back in RTOR2, in the days of on-thread orders, his were among the most detailed.
Kentharu: Cookies and gnomes! Always on at very late hours of the night. Has a tendency to quit abruptly.
KrimzonStriker: A great ally in DNES2, at least before the BT... For some reason, insists on emailing maps rather than PMing them.
LittleBoots: Classics major, or a potential classics major. Eire/Eirehann has been one of the defining nations of JalNES. Impressed me when he was new by learning very quickly to write good orders.
Lord_Iggy: Penguins! LINES was what hooked me into NESing for good, and LINESII hasn't made me likely to leave. And the collapse of his Persian/Medean/Ottoman nations, while seemingly inevitable, is always fun to watch and write about.
Luckymoose: In my mind, will never be able to live down setting his troops on fire as Carthage. But he's gotten better since then.
MjM: Got banned a lot. Had a random map NES. I think he disappeared.
Neverwonagame2: Sends nearly incoherent orders.
North King: If NESing were a Shakespeare play, he would be the tragic hero. Gave me advice when I started modding. I always get all worked up about his NESes, only to get let down when they fold. Speaking of which, what would have happened to Minoa?
Reno: Tarunists and summoning mods. Seems like a nice guy. Another Finn.
Sheep: One of the oldest (in age) NESers. Has a kid and is a succesful entrepeneur, if he can be believed. Has been really successful in ITNES, but not so much in modding.
Silver Steak: While I didn't ever feel happy in SSNES, it was certainly an interesting experience. Hopefully he'll mod again soon. And I finally passed him in postcount, which made me happy.
silver_2039: Agressive, reckless genocider. NESing wouldn't be the same without him.
stalin006: Oldtimer, obsessed with WWI Germany and nuking the world. Not to be trifled with.
Stormbringer: FK and Russia/USSR. Writes stories which are long and involved but worth the read. I hope he comes back and continues modding.
Swissempire: A little insane....
Symphony D.: The most detail and system-oriented NESer, except possibly for Erik. Never afraid to get down to the nuts and bolts, and debate them. I've immensely enjoyed the discussions about ANES01 and its rules, probably more so than the actual NES.
TerrisH: Peacemonger and quick order sender.
The Farow: A great NESer who should really update his NES rather than read this.
Thlayli: Forever linked in my mind with Veritas, inextricably linked with Eldrania in behavior, religon, and survival. Writes epic story arcs which are great fun to read. And, of course, proponent of the infamous NAO, which luckily has so far been absent in JalNES.
tossi: I have great respect for him. Always seems to get picked on in NESes, but is a good player.
Warman17: Red Alert NES. Amazing.
Wubba360: Not really new anymore, but he was considered one of the best newbies.
~Darkening~: Either he's planning on a really high level, or he's making it up as he goes along.
