Influential People of Mira

[Lord Ted]

So I'm just generally interested to see who people think are the influential people on this server almost a year after it's start. This just isn't some simple list of GM's but I mean all of them. The people who carry weight in the server but don't have a title of GM. The list can still have GM's but this goal is to bring to light others.

Simple format:

Name:
Server Influence: (1-10)
Why/what they do: (2-4 sentences)


Example:
Izanami
10
GM of one of the more powerful guilds in the server. A guild historically neutral in most cases though allied with HH.

[Near L]

Xuan
7.5
Simply leading a top ten

L
10
Simply managing the actual guild >_>

Vortex Mandrel
7.6
Leading a top ten guild slightly better

[Erls]

Its funny what/who people think are important.

80% of the power is behind the scenes power on Mira.

I agree with this.

ZOO
9.2
Not the best GM in AE history, but I will be ashamed if he was not mentioned as a good fellow. He certainly had earned my trust with how he handled the 40's during the early days.

This thread will simply be filled with biased opinions.

But my opinion is fact

[Lord Ted]

Speedy understands the thread. It's meant to be biased to show who people think have the power in the server. I'm just interested in who the movers are in the server besides the GM's. The people behind the GM's.

In that case:

Generally being awesome

We all are powerful. GM's would be useless without the players but, I like Awol.

He's patient and easy to work with. Always a pleasure playing with him. I like that he involves the whole guild in making decisions and dosen't just tell us what we're doing. I've been in some guilds that the GM treats the game as if it was the Military. That's no fun.

If this were on Beta, i could name a lot of people but, i'm a noob.

Sarduakar of ~HH~ was very influential; his one conversation secured from me what the combined fleet might of Orz and ~HH~ could not: my agreement to surrender, ending the war between 2usic and ~HH~/Orz

[Skilgannon]

Like him or loathe him you'd be a fool not to count Balol as one of the most influential peoples on Mira.

[Awol]

As near as I can tell politics is non existent on Mira. Those in power hold significant enough advantage over the rest that they don't need to scheme or manipulate. They don't need any new friends and they don't have to worry about pissing anyone off. Its hard to be influential without actually changing anything.

There are several people on Mira with the capacity to influence the server but why would they when they can ride easy mode to the finish line?

[Lord Ted]

I would be bold enough to say that when you lead a guild there are certain people whose pm's help you decide things. I know how you run your guild, so probably harder to find a single person whose pm's drastically change your opinion, but the leaders ultimately are never running things solo, and those people standing next to the GM in their decisions are influential, but less noticed. Like in SEXY there are four people who help run that guild, though the ultimate call is tossed to one person.

For example in the case of SEXY:

Gordan Ramsay - Advises Izzy, as well as directly in control of many military operations and the structure of the guild.

Trippster- From what I heard from him, and others in the guild he was a important part of the history of the teens. At least politically through all the factions and helped lead all the teen guilds except for Erls's old guilds.

Lord Ted- Advises Izzy on how to look at the server dynamics and how to handle things in the future tense. Advises many players and brings an older sense of experience to the guild.

This is retarded there is no grand power play in Mira its all about fleet size...

"Oh those guys have a lot of fleet, we better pact or invade them!"
