I'll explain who @mimica is. He plays f2p and plays with some of the big spenders, and in fact keeps up. He also attempts to teach whoever asks him how he stays in the top guilds wout spending money.
Thanks for the explanation @Pic and kudos to @mimica that cannot be an easy task. I'm a f2p regular player in a casual independent guild and can only imagine how difficult that must be.
This thing here is so stupid/fun (what you like) it made me get on the forum for the 1st time in 2 years.
That hall of Fame list is BS. I play almost since the beginning but I’ve never heared of half of the people on the list?!? NML not my list indeed!
Further when reading those reactions I can only think @PigBenis is 100% right here and I am glad he says what the big majority thinks.
@WeekOne@tinytuna007 get a life. Or at least get your heads out of the asses you currently find yourself in. Sucking up like that and attacking @PigBenis shame on you!
@WeekOne Clearly that is a great song...I do hot yoga to it 3 times every other Sunday in March...but I don't think it's very apropos for a hall of fame inductee walk up song...the inductees have nothing to "shake off"...in fact they really only should be "putting on"...in this case the gold jackets given to the hall of fame honorees
It was also explained in a previous forum post about this event that the nominees are expected to answer a short interview, so all players can learn better from them not only about the game, but who they are.
I've just read the post from @tinytuna007 and enjoyed it. I think the piece about creating and running competions stands out to me.

Long time no see... looks like the “herd” made it’s way here.
I'll leave this as a reminder to all. Please note it applies to all.
Flaming* is a hostile verbal attack directed at another person or group of people. Trolling* is the act of deliberately provoking a hostile reaction from other users. These actions will not be tolerated. Additionally, harassing and flaming someone via PMs may trigger more severe offenses, up to and including a suspension.
We do not recognize excuses such as "he flamed me first!"; if you feel attacked by other members, report the post and let moderators handle it rather than flame back. Similarly, if you feel that someone is trolling, just report the post/thread. Calling someone a troll also amounts to flaming/trolling.
The rule of thumb is to criticize the idea, not the person. You may think a trait is bad, and you may say so (though make it constructive), but a trait being bad doesn't make the poster an idiot. Be respectful.
Responding to other people with unwarranted hostility, picking fights and in general being a jerk to other members is also grounds for moderation. Remember, it is everyone's job to be friendly and civilized, and maintain other users' good forum experience. We want people to get along.
My apologies @WeekOne ...I'm not the brightest bulb in the Bell & Howell 1500 Lumens High Beam Multiple LED Tactical Flashlight...and I haven't been on the forum in well over a month so I feel like a newborn baby who wandered into a nether portal of a cell phone video game's hotly debated and contested political election
That said if you are on the CTANMLHOFH please push through my recommendations for the walk-up songs and I will continue to espouse the eternal greatness of playing Taylor Swift while sweating out bad toxins and thoughts while posing in abnormal animal poses!
You better check yo self before you wreck yo self...cuz I'm bad for your health, I come real stealth

Well @SlickRick , I hope you don’t let anyone dim your light “if ever” it illuminates. In the mean time, I am not on the CTANMLHOFH lmao but if you scroll up, you might see links that Troublemaker posted and you could reach out to them.
@WeekOne How in the heck are you not on the CTANMLHOFH? And I didn't even know who Troublemaker was before I came on here today...I do like his or her username though lol...this is what happens when you don't pay attention to what the heck is going on!! But I will check out those links he/she posted toot sweet! Frank you kindly!! And oh yeah I'm waaayyyy too old for anything to ever "illuminate" in me ever again...ODB!!

I havent been to forums for some time now but wanted to quickly stop by to congratulate and appreciate @OneLessTitan for being nominated in Hall of Fame. His efforts putting up most amazing wiki pages for this game is just phenomenal. Having played this game from almost day one Im still using OLT wiki as my main reference.
There are definitely some players more worthy to have been nominated in this first HoF than some who were. But i was not in election committee and was not here in forums to comment when this idea was being proposed in the first place so i can just blame myself for that. I would have proposed to set up some categories like with oscar awards and then vote for those if needed. First player to reach 100k / rsl40 / inf9999..., Best strategist, Funniest forum member / moderator, Highest contributor for game mechanics for community, etc.
I know this is just a dream but... Maybe some day we could actually have challenge with preset heros and survivors and gear and see who is really the best player when all is equal. I have some hunch if we just could get that person to play with us again for one more time..
As far as I know, most of the people on the list didn’t request the nomination. Once “inducted”, some came here and thanked the committee for selecting them. That’s reasonable. Don’t beat on the people who were chosen; especially those who were just along for the ride. If I were responsible for selecting ten people on my own, I have selected zayn for sure and a few others, and wouldn’t have included the people I don’t know because, well, I don’t know them. But just because I would have picked some different people doesn’t mean I’m going to attack those who were picked.
I probably would have run the whole thing a little differently...ah, who am I kidding? If asked, I wouldn’t have done it at all. It’s too rife with conflict and too likely to upset too many people, things I spend as much time avoiding as possible. 😂 But it’s not it worth my time and energy complaining about it not being run the same way I would have done it.
So back to my common refrain here: can’t we all just get along? Let’s get back to killing zombies!
To everyone who contributes and makes the game and our odd little community what it is, thank you.

@SlickRick when you actually scroll up and look at the links Troublemaker posted, you should illuminate and have the answer you seek to your first question.
I gotta say, I'm not always right, but I'm always willing to tell it how I see it. I don't care what people think about me as I know my own self worth. With that said, I've been contacted by 2 forum regulars via PM today that I've never had a conversation with. They both told me basically, "keep up what you're doing in the hall of fame thread...you are saying what the rest of us are thinking". Additionally, I was added to a group conversation with about 20+ individuals (also forum regulars) regarding the subject this morning and I see more of the same there with respect how this event was rolled out, how votes were cast, and how things likely went down (i.e. you vote for me and I vote for you...the next time more of us get in that didn't this time). And finally, when I log into the game just now I get a message from a fellow guild member/hall of famer (my made up hall of fame, not the official made up hall of fame) and he tells me that he's a member of several other message boards and they are proud of me saying what needs to be said. This leads me to believe that I'm not too far off track with my comments.
I really think there should be some actual formal process for inductees and not just a small group of peers saying "what do you all think" and then someone gives a suggestion and the sheep follow. I guess it doesn't really matter though, because at the end of the day two things remain:
1. This hall of fame stuff doesn't mean ANYTHING, despite people feeling the need to be validated. So someone organized a few events between some guilds and nearly nobody knew about it. If that's all it takes to get into this hall of LAME, then it just shows how big of a joke it actually is. 2. If it DID matter, the players are aware of who the TRUE hall of famers are and don't need to be told by a small group of individuals that "we're your hall of famers". The TRUE hall of famers don't go about suggesting a hall of fame seeking recognition and they know that their work and accomplishments stand alone and are beneficial to this community and they alone are enough for those players to feel recognized.
Enjoy your party with your guild mates. This thing is gonna burn up more like a hall of FLAMES.
Gotta run...my pager (since I'm so out of touch with new and upcoming communications according to one of the "special" people) just went off. It's my guild mate telling me I didn't get into my guild's hall of fame Apparently it went to another member who was good at scrap booking.
In the last year or so I have become more involved in the community chats and what have you outside of the forum. (Mostly as a troll trying to illicit a little laughter) In that time I’ve probably had some sort of interaction with most on that list so most of the names don’t surprise me. With there being however millions of players in the game I think even if you could poll everyone, the ones known to the largest chunk of those millions, will still stand out. My point being, the list probably wouldn’t change a lot. Now if you don’t like the results or how they were reached, don’t click on this discussion. At the most, poke a little fun with a comment and move on. No need to be rude and belittle anyone. Regardless of whether or not I agree with how it was set up, props to the inductees! And @Troublemaker and @Pic who took the time to organize it.
Why the posts to mock a legitimate effort to make something for the community? Devaluing my work? Being sarcastic about the trust and opinion of many important players of the Community? This adds to what? For what? Most didn't even bother to read everything that was proposed...
Think about it. Life isn't about this.
Fortunately there are people encouraging me. For those I'll go on with the interviews, emphasizing my intentions from the start.
It is a sad day when someone who admittedly doesn't know anything about you or your character would intentionally go out of the way to attack you. Or make unfounded and unproven claims of a conspiracy or popularity contest when I didn't even know that my name was in consideration. but from this moment forward I choose not to feed into that negativity nor let that negativity ruin my day.
Again let me say congratulations to all the inductees. May you all continue to spread your joy and your spirit and your knowledge and your strategy or whatever it is that you bring.
@Troublemaker@Pic@Kick_ass may you continue to inspire us and share Your Love of the Game with us. I know that none of you are professionals. You didn't have any books to guide you or experts to counsel you. you did the best you could do with the knowledge that you have to try to create something great and I am very grateful to you for doing that.
I think the main reason why people criticize this is because it felt like a "secret elite thing" instead of an "open community thing" to people "on the outside".
Not saying that it was not totally fine to do it like that - it was planned by you and run by you the way you wanted it to be run. But you presented it as a community thing so I think that involving more of the community isn't that bad of an idea.
This has already been said and I want to back it up: Personally, I would have wanted to see why people were chosen. For some I know the reasons why, besides of the "obvious" people, for example @tinytuna007 who has done a lot for a lot of players - just not so much on the forums.
Some quotes of people who have voted why they have chosen the person they have chosen would have been really nice - just so people would have gotten to know those they didn't know yet.
I'm happy for everyone who is happy to have been chosen. Congrats! Hope to get to know a bit more about the players behind the names on this list.

We will be planning another one of those challenges soon and as soon as we work out the details I will start advertising it. It is something great that the founder of the eh family @Andrius created to build a stronger family. In the past year we have been expanding on that to include players from other guild families in an attempt to create new friendships and build a stronger community. I will attempt to cast a wider net when advertising the upcoming challenge to include more of the other guild families we don't know about and other players that want to participate and commit to the four weeks of the challenge. We look forward to developing some new friendships

That's why we are having interviews.
I can't say why those are selected because every vote has a reason. I can only say about my own.
I needed a metric and using leaderboard felt like a good enough start.
@tinytuna007 Those are fun! Hope we "Morbids" will be taking part in the next one, too, and will get to know more players that way.
Let people know that they don't need to be an elite player to participate in that (I am not one by any means and still had fun every time I took part, either as a leader or just a member of a team).
(Sorry for being a bit off topic, but since people - other than just me - said they would like to know more about the people chosen, it isn't that off topic since you do so much for making that happen!)
