ELITE is a term, not a skill!  If your willing to put in the time and effort to learn TW in/out...your on the right road to joining the "elite" crowd!  And who cares if noone knows your name....its that much of an advantave you have over them in compeition. Why?  Because they will underestimate you, ignore you, leave you alone, not waste turns/resources on you, and you will rule the game!  And there is no such thing as losing a game for an Elite type player, for every game something is learned, a new trick is thought up, and a new stratigic move is taken to the next game....If you play your best, you are a WINNER in every game you play.

I haven't seen your page in awhile, but I can't believe you're 
bringing up this Elite garbage again.

I can't stand that term because it causes nothing but resentment.  
But if were held at gunpoint and told I HAD To define it or die, here 
is my response...

Elite is someone who will do ANYTHING to win, stop at nothing.  Of 
course that is my definition of a great player.  You've got to be 
resilient, have heart, skills, time (yes, time!), determination, 
patience, intelligence, strategy and the ability to overcome 
adversity.

I know what it will take to win the BOTE, and that's why, Intergate's 
well-above-average team be damned, no one is going to stop me or the 
ensemble of players I've put together to get it done.  I wake up for 
extern with FIRE in my eyes.  I left myself on all day to scare evils 
away from Doc.  My corp's outrageous amount of resources is put to 
use everyday, and that's why we are whacking other players like weeds 
on our BOTE lawn.

You want to know who's elite?  Guardian's elite.  He commits to a 
game and does what need to be done to win.  Maverick's elite.  His BK 
corp got reamed in the BOTE, but he's right back in there reasserting 
this fact.  Look at Cruncher, Ret.  Ret promised me to f' r/l so we 
could win this one last game.  And right now, looking at the WTC, you 
can see some other players who most-likely have figured out how to 
cross that threshold.  Look at Attila and Barnhill.  They had a plan 
and executed it.  What about Hekate?  Putting hurt to the league 
games with relatively new players and superb leadership.  The next 
great CEO is here, get on her train if she lets you.

That's my opinion.  Don't complain because I'm nut-crazy to do 
anything to take the BOTE.  1068 min's ain't shit.
