"The Nicknamed One"
In the 2 and a half years since joining the GEE, Derek has grown to mean more to the Elite than pretty much anybody. He began his career as that rarest of newbs... talented, intelligent, and able to provide proof for all his best times. His early claim to fame was the creation of his fantastic Goldeneye WRs page, but he was soon making a name for himself in the rankings, as well. In the early days of Summer '01, he first shocked the world with his Statue sweep, then improved upon it by untying the old 00 record. He reached the Top Ten by the time the year was out, then began a big whoard which was not unleashed until the legendary Illinois 2003 meeting, after which he exploded all the way to 4th place in the world. He has not been very active since, yet still holds a spot in the Top Ten. However, Derek's greatest contribution to the Elite was undoubtedly his purchase of our very own domain (at, get this: "the-elite.net"!) in March of last year. Without a doubt, we would not be the community we are today had Clark not presented us with this great gift (and a gift it certainly is... despite numerous attempts to collect donations, he continues to bear the financial burden of the site completely on his own). Oh, and he's also been known to be charming, witty, and impossible to dislike. I trust you know how to vote...

8. Garrett Sellati
PD Rank: 95
GE Rank: 14
Last Year: #11 seed
- defeated by Woll, Round One

"Nickname Goes Here"
Garrett has seemingly been around forever... from this tourney, only The Big Three (Sterling/Wes/Steven) have been members of The Elite for longer. Though that is impressive enough on its own, what is even more compelling is the fact that no one, anywhere, has remained more active over the course of the past 4+ years. In fact, in three years he has only slipped 5 spots on the rankings! (Compare that to the 16 position drop for Sterling, or the 33 spot tumble for Wes.) Yes, he is a true GE legend, and has continued to churn out great new times even to this very day, such as his Surface 1 domination and his Caverns A WR. A vote for Garrett is a vote for the oldest of the old school!

9. Adam Moore
PD Rank: 81
GE Rank: 10
Last Year: #6 seed
- defeated ShadowZero
- defeated by Sam, Round Two

"Nickname Goes Here"
Moore is one of those guys who really shows how hard work will pay off in the end. He became a member of the Goldeneye community back in the summer of '00, during the waning days of Wes' reign as updater. Since then he has been consistently making slow and steady improvements, continuing to climb higher and higher on the rankings. That was, until the start of this year, when he seemed to kick his game into the next gear and really exploded to the top of the charts... he even managed to pull ahead of his friend Karl to become the best GE player in Australia, and 4th overall on the planet. And he's managed to set some truly impressive times along the way, as well, including 1:16 Frigate 00, :48 Facility A, :52 Depot, and some great times in the Jungle. And don't even get me started on License to Kill, where Moore is the champ in both points AND time. He also made an attempt at PD, though that wasn't nearly as successful... In addition, he's a real good guy, so, vote for him! ...or else.

5. Greg Woll
PD Rank: 56
GE Rank: 23
Last Year: #6
- defeated Garrett
- defeated by Bosshardt, Round Two

"Nickname Goes Here"
Greg is one of the longest-tenured members of The Elite, having gotten into the GE ranks on one of Wes' last updates back on GE Extreme. He has always been a top player, even reaching the rarefied air of the Top Ten earlier in his career. He's accomplished many great things in both GE and PD, including pulling a clean sweep of Egypt and grabbing the Aztec SA WR soon after Bosshardt's new strat discovery. But without a doubt he is best remembered the for incredible Street SA run that gave birth to the so-called "Woll Factor"... an incredible 12(!) guard boosts on that run allowed him the grab the WR of 1:58. Lately he has taken a break from the competitive gaming scene, but he certainly remained active on the boards, where he is actually one of the leading members of the 2000 Posts Club. On a personal note, he's huge into music, especially Metallica, and is even learning to play the guitar on his own now. Overall, he's one of GE's most popular personalities.

6. Jim Barrett (Jimbo)
PD Rank: Unranked
GE Rank: 3
Last Year: #16 seed
- defeated by Neo (play-in)

"Nickname Goes Here"
{His version} Jimbo has, perhaps, put more time into Goldeneye over the past year than anyone in The Elite. It is his obsession... but to no avail, as lying about times early in his career doomed him to never remain on the rankings for long. Oh, that, and, he never proves anything. Rumor has it he once attempted to place a tape in his VCR to record a run, but it spontaneously combusted in his hands, thereby rendering him psychologically unable to deal with the thought of providing proof for anything else for the remainder of his life. Oh, but he does like other people's proof, as he has one of the largest collections of PD/GE vids anywhere shared through Get File. He's also contributing to the Elite by sending his PD cartridge to Wouter later this month. A vote for Jimbo is a vote for... I don't know what.

3. Matthijs ten Ham
PD Rank: 76
GE Rank: 6
Last Year: #4 seed
- defeated Harvey, Zwartjes
- defeated by Clark in Sweet 16

"Nickname Goes Here"
{His version} Matthijs has accomplished plenty in his 3 year Goldeneye career, yet despite all his gaming success he is still best known for being just so incredibly darn likeable. As in, every single person who has started a conversation with the man reports having become his good friend by the time the convo was over. This was probably best expressed after his terrible knee injury at the end of 2002, when the outpouring of good luck wishes on the boards was just tremendous. And he's much more than a great guy... he's also one of the true Pillars of The Elite, having taken over GE news updating on the-elite.net, where he currently serves as our top European Proof Mod. Right now, you can find him in 4th place at Goldeneye, battling his way towards a hopeful 3rd sometime soon. He's set some great untied WRs in the past, including those in Egypt A, Silo A, and even Aztec SA (well... almost). And he got off to a great start in PD as well, where he joined pretty early and did some impressive stuff (like an early WR of 1:16 Villa A) before heading back to GE. So in the end, you have to ask yourself... with those amazing gaming skills, and an even better attitude, how could you NOT vote Matthijs all the way? (Oh, and also, best gamer pic in the entire contest. By far.)

7. Peter Osterland
PD Rank: Unranked
GE Rank: 12
Last Year: #12 seed
- defeated by Zwartjes, Round One

"Nickname Goes Here"
{His version} Peter's been GEing it up for a little over 2 years now, and with good results. He played hard and quickly climbed the ranks in year one, eventually reaching the Top Ten while amassing 15 WRs at one time. Among them were some that he pioneered himself, including :26 Depot A and 1:04 Surface A 2. He was also one of the first with the nice :53 S2 A. Yes, Peter has remained pretty active and for the love of god, stop IMing me so I can finish this Bio. Forget it.

10. Harvey Manhood
PD Rank: Unranked
GE Rank: 11
Last Year: #13 seed
- defeated by Matthijs, Round One

"Nickname Goes Here"
The Man some call "Hood" has been GEing it up since back in Oct of '00, when he debuted impressively in 19th place. He's been playing hard and climbing the rankings every summer and winter break since then (though he's generally backslid during the school year). However, he's been making great improvements for the last few months now, pushing himself all the way into Top Ten territory on the strength of such times as his :26 - :45 - :53 in Depot. Outside of GE, Harv is probably best known for posting on the boards over the past few months. Alot. As in, more than anyone has ever done. But, he's been working on cutting back on the spam/useless stuff lately, and seems to be doing a pretty good job of it. He loves to talk about stuff like his weird taste in music, how much he hates showering, Comic Book Guy, and how you should vote for him. So, in summary, he's good at GE, and one of the most active members of both the Board and the Chat. Casting a vote at him just makes sense.

2. Wouter Jansen
PD Rank: 41
GE Rank: 2
Last Year: #1 seed
- defeated SRock, Jugador, Sucram, Youse
- defeated by Snap in Final 4

"Nickname Goes Here"
Without a doubt, the man some call "w00ter" is crazy. Firstly, he's crazy-talented. I can't even begin to describe all the stuff he's accomplished in the world of GE... he's held every WR at least once, including 52 total (23 of them untied) at one time. Also, after his recent unwhoard he found himself holding more total points than anyone since the golden age of Sterling's reign, over 3 and a half years ago. (And... there's plenty more, check His Version for the rest.) Secondly, he's crazy-dedicated. Wouter isn't one of those guys who pretends each record was achieved with only a couple minutes effort; he'll honestly admit that no one, anywhere, has put more time into the game than himself. Thirdly, he's absolutely crazy about proof, practically having more of it himself than the rest of the Elite combined! And, finally, he's just plain crazy. Like, literally nuts. He claims to have enough personalities to adjust to any situation... somehow, I doubt anyone who's had a conversation with the guy would disagree. And then there's something about being a woman? I have no idea... Well, regardless of how wacky he gets, he's the best player around and a great contributor to the Elite, so cast a vote in his direction!

15. Stephen Chan | yoshifan
PD Rank: 106
GE Rank: 34
Last Year: #9 seed
- defeated by DarkLight, Round One

"Nickname Goes Here"
Chan has accomplished some real good things in GE over his career, including getting a great :26 Bunker 2 A, to go along with his (at one time) 5 WRs. PD was not as memorable, with the exception of his impressive 1:31 CI SA, which he was 3rd person to ever achieve (it actually made him the first player outside the Top 100 with a non-Duel/Defection WR. ...maybe). But he saved his best for the 3rd of the Elite's FPS triangle, TS2, where he's one of the top 5 players on the planet. Outside of gaming, you'll spot Chan in The Elite Chatroom more than anyone else around (barring Ngamer), and he was thus one of the 6 members of the Selection Committee to create this Contest you're reading about. Oh, and we can't forget the fact that he's by far the youngest guy in this field of 68... in fact, he's only a month away from being the youngest in the entire Elite! Make Chan your vote, today!
