Hello all,
I took some time to read all what have you all wrote. And real question is - How do Mr. Holylord knows about tops and ratings if he is "not active" as he present himself?
Notorious - HL didnt started playing back in 2002. He started later.
Some of replies:
"When I did the 3 gold records (I told Lancelot I would stop at 3, but now I'm thinking I should do another! lol)" - Update for HL: not even one is legit anymore. Still, you cant say you made a record without video, someone to prove it. That is record in stupidity.
"sometimes they hated it, but they would have to play it anyways because I was HolyLord (lol), and that kept things moving." - You mean you had to play from yours akas vs you?
1. Which player was the fastest opponent to you?
If I don't count myself or Bartholo, then I think FireDragon, Hunter, Meelman, Masosz, Dracula, and maybe even Blacky & Geralt, were probably the fastest players I remember, at their peaks. - Ha, Good one!
3.Who was the best eco maker in your period.
Bartholo and I were the best eco makers in my period. Nobody (except bartholo) ever even tried to break our eco records, so we never had any eco competition. This is why I was so happy to see Lancelot finally do it in 2019, and why I reinstalled SHC to try again. - Good one again! There were too many gold records beside yours or Lancelot's. Keep rolling with your akas and shits.
4.Who was the best rusher and the best camper?
Again, I think bartholo and I were the best rushers and also the best campers (sorry if this sounds like a bad answer again and again). Pretty much every top player in my day were good rushers - you had to be a good rusher to be a good player. Some other good campers were X-CON Str0ng, Peabody, T-Bag. -Again? God.
5.Do you remember any great talent that never show his full potential?
Interesting question. I think Gx_S0ck3tz` could have been a much better player than he was. To give some explanation, socketz was the best SH1 player for many years, and started playing SHC in 2006/07. He spent a good bit of time playing SHC, and started becoming good, but never really committed to it enough to become a top expert, although I think he could have if he continued with it. I think X-CON Geralt could have become one of the best players ever, but he didn't get enough training from me and Arma while he was in DHK :P. DHK Killa was another one. He had a major health emergency and disappeared and never came back to SHC; very sad. We thought he died, but found out 10 years later he was alive, thankfully. There were also many players that were very good but never really showed off their skills much or didn't get very recognized in the community (like LTU min2kas & LTU vytass, NDR-DRGN_VampSlayer, G$W Warlord & G$W Razi, and many more). - This is very funny also.
6.Who was most crazy/annoying player that time?
DevilSpawn was probably the craziest mother fucker in the history of Stronghold: Crusader. I can tell you more about him if you'd like, and some other stories, but every old player will remember this guy for being a true crazy. Some other crazy/annoying people were {GoC}M.GEN-7WINNER7 (some stories about him if you want to know), and from GR, yugod Gilman (this guy spent his life making up fake histories about me, and I never even knew him). X2X Shazzabog was also a bit annoying (always saying some shit about me), but I think I annoyed him more because I always called him my little 'baby boy' (because I recruited Satdive to X2X in 2005 and trained him, and Satdive recruited and trained Shazzabog). There were many other players that could fit the description "crazy", but in different ways (like Bartholo, FD, Fubar, DarkRealms, Hampton, Blaze, Nassassin, and many more...) - Holylord, I am going to show your akas and how gilman especially, then winner and all other were "so annoying and made-up fake stories". Remember who hacked and took your entire aka company from your computer?
Fireboy: lol he exposed you greatly and even now ur still faking, but this kids will follow this as well as a hundred people go to church - All the time mate.
Hl: 2.How much time you need to learn begginer/weak medium play on very good level and who was your greatest student.
Completely depends on the player. I picked my students very selectively. I think one of my strongest abilities was to notice a person's potential. There were a few times when I found a complete noob but could see their potential, and I invested time to turn them into monsters. Killa (complete noob to top in 6 months), WW, Arma ('average' to top in 6 months), LastWish, Satdive, Blacky (already very good when I first found him, but became top in 1-2 months during which I made him play many many 1v1s with me, nonstop), Geralt (similar to Blacky situation, but I had less time with him), and many others that I had less time with. The ones that would be successful were quickly separated from the ones that could not be; the way I would train them was to make them 1v1 me nonstop on all different maps, rules, settings, etc. Of course they would never have a chance, but the ones that had the passion would try and try and try, and this struggle made them so much stronger; each time surviving maybe 30 seconds longer or preparing better for whatever I had to throw at them. It's a weird lesson for life, too, I guess? To answer your question, a person with very high potential I can make an expert in 3-4 months. A person with medium potential, maybe 6-8 months. But nothing can replace the experience of years, so they would still be missing some of that 'intuition' from that lack of experience.
My greatest student, other than myself, was Arm@. People forget the magnitude of this guy; he was one of the oldest experts of X-CON (which was founded in 2004, not 2003 as I've seen some claim); he joined DHK and became one of the best in ~6 months; he also at the same time ran his own polish clan where he trained and nurtured the SHC polish community; he was responsible for training some other top experts (Lider & Geralt included); and he was the leader of DHK during GR times (09-12), and technically still is the leader.
-Well that is a loot of "I" and fake things, again.
HL:There was a DHK before me, in 2003, made by a guy named Theoden. It only existed for a few months with a few noob members. In early 2004, when I was still a new player, I met him and we made DHK (I guess you could say we refounded it). At the time, Bartholo was in G$F (after a short stint in X2X), and was already an expert, while I was still learning the game. During 2004, I recruited and trained some of the old experts that later became some of the greatest of all time (much later). Satdive, Killa, FrozenSlayer (under another name), were amongst those that were in this 2004 DHK. Around mid 2004, Theoden randomly introduced me to a guy named TheWizardCharles, and told me that Charles was going to be one of the leaders of the clan. I didn't like it, but didn't want to start a fight at the time. Not too long afterwards (within a month or so), Theoden went inactive, and I was left leading the clan with this Charles guy. I had the loyalty of almost all of the top members and high-ranking members (we had a ranking system at the time, and I was the "M.Gen"), as I had recruited and dedicated my time to training them, and I also had control of the website. I used that influence to kick WizardCharles from the clan, told him to fuck off, and took sole control myself, with the backing of the majority. - Years and years he was put decline after decline on this, finally he realized he was just a liar, I suppose he is currently on some drugs to admit it.
This was part of the reason Standard has so many VIPs (but not to detract from his accomplishments, he was an amazing player and was a huge contributor to the community and growth of the game in many ways) -Pure lie.
Wouldn't go further.
