A contest based on *opinion clusters*


This shouldn't be a reflection of * raw facts *
such as trophies or earned career points etc..

This should be about the most competitive *player style* according to your opinion.
Since there are many ways how a player can be competitive in "modern kdice", I will suggest some categories which are usually considered to be important for kdicers to do well at the tables, in tournaments or even in a monthly competition.

It's usually a pretty controversial topic but let's see whose name will be named most often in the end. Remember: It's about the best player, so if you can avoid it, please don't name more than one player for each category. If it's really too hard for you to decide who is the best, then name two players (more will not be considered).


I suggest following categories in a random order (sorry if there might be some overlap):


(1) Best "comeback player"
(The ability to develop small bases/ turning bad starts/ bad luck in the first rounds into good situations. This is also linked with the ability to never give up, even when the chances of getting good results are low).


(2) Best "board reader"
(The ability of a player to know exactly what their opponents will do and using that "information" for their own benefit like making silent truces or forcing other players into making mistakes. Those players work like computers, calculating the best moves).


(3) Best "manipulator"
(The ability to make other players act for their own (the manipulator's) benefit, almost always achieved by using the chatbox. Communication is the most powerful weapon for those players).


(4) Best "social gamer"
(The ability to make intelligent alliances, truces and honouring them. This is also linked with the reputation of "social gamers" to be extremely trustworthy in all kind of situations).


(5) Best "marathon player"
(The ability of playing hundreds of games during a month while maintaining a "competitive style" and a high PPG)


(6) Best "end gamers"
(The ability to make no mistakes in a head to head situation (often 8v8) by intelligently calculating risk and chance of certain attacks).


(7) Best "tournament survivors" (The only category linked to tournaments only)
(The ability to make it to the final tables of tournaments by using the various tournament strategies, but basically focusing on surviving (also with the help of vflags). This is also linked to the ability to judge when it makes most sense to eliminate a low ranked player or to kill a player with many points).


(8) FINALLY: The best "TOTAL PACKAGE"
This is the chance for you to decide which category seems most important to you/
whose player's style is the best overall. This can also be the result that a certain player masters all or the most of the mentioned categories, while not actually being the best in a specific category, this player's style often ranks among the best most categories).
