Cory's SK note gave me the idea to make a poll to see everyone's opinions on today's best bashers and tanks.

I'm voting Machine due to his ability to bash with almost any class, having seen his amazing speed with even shifters - that deserves a vote.

I'm voting Machine. But I have to say there's a few names missing up there. Tanus and Ferus for example.

8 is the max choices allowed. So I tried to pick the 8 most current and well known bashers. Had there been an option to add more names, I would have.

There's pretty good, good and then there's elite.

I'd like to see Nanji on something other than telnet.

I'll take almost any alt of Machine over Machine himself.
Now, I wonder if Machine's popularity is due to the fact that he'll party with almost any shmoe and doesn't discriminate too much like some of the more elite bashers who tend to stick with a fairly small circle of friends. This goes for tanks too.
That being said, perhaps his ability to adjust to crappy and good players does make him the best.
I for one know, that with certain low AND high level alts, I can never get to show how good or bad I am as a basher cause these tanks just won't take an unknown on and I don't like to name drop.
Lastly, this is a weird poll. To me a good tank is determined by his knowledge of a mud and how quickly he runs from good area to good area in a timely fashion.
However, I am beginning to think that the voting in this poll is done by how well in sync the basher is with the tank. I mean, yeah, assuming all the get all, sell all, kill, assist etc are pretty much done at the same speed. There's still a lot of intangibles that add or subtract one's value as a basher to a tank.
For example, Rey's two choices of Tanus and Ferus. I mean I've run some pretty good parties with Ferus exp wise, but I just can not get in sync with him. I lot of trouble for good exp. Whereas someone like Supeth who I am betting is on no one's list easily ranks higher on my personal list. A lot less trouble for good exp. I know Tanus is pretty good, but to me, he doesn't do anything special that differentiates himself from any other good basher to the elite level imo. I mean I can replace him with say, Raptor, Slagrak, Ghanime, Sifer, etc. I mean these are all _good_ bashers that I'd take in a heartbeat, but elite? No. Two Person timed run? No.
But perhaps to Rey, Ferus and Tanus are the elite, while Machine and Calvin are merely good. So this is a very tricky poll and one that I did not vote.
Until recently.

I think 1 big thing about supeth bein so invicible is that i haven't played him for along time, i almost stopped playin him after u went away sinister (not because u left only, i got sick of bashin), i started playin my necros and rogues and clerics but now i have started to bash again with supeth and if someone see me idle with him, don't wait to ask for me to bash and i can also say that when i'm in as peblo i take anyone as tagger or basher (if i haven't 2 or 3 already), i have no problem with taggers as long as they pay some attention and backup my rev for loot without me havin to say 'grab stuff //henke, the middle player

Whoa whoa whoa, Peblo. Don't let my statements go through your head. Fact is, I still put you behind....say... umm? Edge?
Disclaimer: This is not a dis on Edge as he is among the top eight......or is it? If it is, then is a dis on Peblo....right?
*Hmm, musing out loud*

I'm giving my vote to Nanji, just cuz Machine's already got 4 votes, and I'm not gonna vote for myself... *peer* Actually, when I bashed with him, Nanji always kept up with me on eq, (or beat me) and if I was a fraction of a second late, he'd snag it before me even if he was on heals. He was also one of the few bashers that made me feel slow when I was tanking with Bismarck. I used to have parties with Pillar, Nanji, Rey, Ktulu, Lunarsee, Machine, and a few of the other great bashers I'm forgetting... and they always made me feel like I was slacking, and not going near fast enough. (Anything under 400k/hr with those guys back then -was- slacking... *peer*) Annnnyways. Nanji's da man! p.s. Does anyone else get the feeling that Sinister forgot his medicine today when he was gumming his cheerios ?? Cuz he got me confuscilated with that last one to Peblo...
