So many people I can't name them all. Have had so many good fights, so many good laughs, and so much fun with everyone on this game.

999000, Waystin, oldman, Dr7, BBaw, Ack Ack, Syko, Hajo, Kappa, *Nomde*:-), *Frenchy*:-), *Betty*:-), *Kermit*:-), *shegotcha*:-), Shane, Steve, Sads, Scotch, IrishOne, INK, doright, Lawndart, Silat, Agent360,SF, Dodger, PotsNPans, Morfiend, MtnMan, Fugitive.....

Some in this list are no longer in the game as noted.

I think these lists are rather subjective. Many in the list are simply very nice people to play the game with. Others are absolute grouches until they are helping you to learn ACM. Quality is quality whether you are grading cactuses or orchids.

I would vote for 999000 as number one. He was just as classy when I met him back in AW on the wrong end of his B17's tail guns as he is today 20 years later. I can not remember a time in the last 11 years oldman didn't compliment each person he fought with in the CT\AvA after the fight no matter who won.

hmm are there 2 latrobes?  for me its Messiah, LilMak, Oddcaf.. Odd is my teammate and when you follow him around, you cant help but learn and have good fun. when he lands kills he gets many many green salutes bc his whole team knows what a go getter he is. i havent outflown and beat Messiah and LilMak bc they are badasses in our juggie wuggies. they are always so nice to me and mentor me. dont think ive seen them complain a bit. most of the uber guys are flat out unwilling to teach and help. they dont want competition, they want status quo. my nominees thrive on competition and are extra nice about it too.

In my experience I have to disagree with the part regarding uber guys not wanting to help.  Everytime I have ever PM'd one of them after flat out thumping me in a fight or just seeing them in country have been more than willing to give advice.  That's just my experience with the ones I have PM'd....off the top of my head:   Stang, Joach1m, Ink (Jetsom), Redbull, Skyrock...some others I'm sure... I can't remember.  They were always willing to give out advice or information that I asked for.  The other guys mentioned in the post that I have talked to have also been good guys.  I have gotten rage PM's, but not from any of the guys that I would consider uber.

Not saying you haven't had bad experiences in that regard...just saying I haven't.  I think the attitude of keeping "secrets" or not wanting competition would be more likely in someone with a more middle of the roadish ability. 

I've not been in the DA/TA with any of them yet but not because they haven't offered.  The schedules just haven't meshed for it.  If there is a good time for it I would love to know so I can plan for it....really want to join in on that if possible.

Thank you for the many honourable mentions but I must decline to agree. Presently I am not being very Gentlemanly at all, I have had some distasteful experiences in game and most especially on this forum with some of the more abhorrent facets of human personalities which has taken its toll on my normal Zen deportment. I can only attribute my reduced tolerance to the rather stressful half year Mrs Shida and I have been experiencing since the premature birth of Tiny Shida. I am rather tired all of the time and am presently not able to think with the clarity and patience I once had. In the words of Spock:

"Please pay no attention. I'm not myself. I'm behaving disgracefully. I have eaten animal flesh and I have enjoyed it".

Considering way now with the hope that I can once again be worthy of such consideration*...

I've recently asked a very skilled 1 vs 1 player to go to the DA. I came across him in the MA and he killed me very fast in a 1 vs 1 "in my ride" while he was pretty new in the same plane than me.

He accepted. Not only that. He taught me some tricks there.  :aok

From my experience, some uber pilots are willing to help.

 :salute

Edit: I added "some" uber pilots.
