{His version} Believe it or not, Bosshardt made his stunning Goldeneye début only a year ago this month... But what a year it has been! After making possibly the best entrance in Elite history thanks to his ingenious Jaws-less Aztec strat (which soon had the WRs dropping like flies), he continued the strat-paving by being the first to put look-down to good use in a variety of levels, lowering many WRs by a second or two. Soon after, he invented the strafe into walls trick, which soon yielded an untied Statue WR. Before you knew it he was in 2nd place, the only man able to challenge Wouter for complete GE supremacy. But that's only half the story... he also managed to accomplish incredible things in just a short stint at PD, including setting an unthinkable record with over 2500 points gained in a single month and knocking off the oldest (seemingly unbeatable) WR in history with a nutty :26 War A. An incredibly talented, incredibly dedicated gamer, he is an all-around great guy in addition. Also, he has my favorite Bio quote of the whole Contest: "My dedication to the elite is about infinite now." And you know what? I wouldn't doubt him.

{His version} Winner of the highly-coveted "how do you spell that, again?" nickname award for 2002, this skilled gamer has indeed been a phonetically correct 'busy child' over the past year and a half. He made an impressive and consistent rise through the rankings during most of last year, finally capping it all off in 26th place... and with an untied WR all to his own, in 1:22 AF1 SA. Even better, he was quick to prove himself with a tape sent off to Ngamer. These days you can find him attempting to do the same thing in the world of Goldeneye, where he is competing well as a member of The Elite Chatter's Rivalry. Speaking of which, he is a regular in the Chatroom, as well as an active and well-respected poster on the message boards. There he is probably most famous for the fantastic cakes he has recently begun baking for each member of the community on their birthdays. The number of candles may not always be dead-on, but its the thought that counts, right? Perhaps you should be thinking of Bizi in return... to the tune of a few votes! ...erm, no, wait, make that one. Just one.

Neo starts off in the Elite (plugged into the giant computer simulation known as The PDE) as Paddy Johannessen, described by his nemesis Agent Smith as a programmer for a respectable software company. He pays his taxes and helps his landlady carry out her garbage. However, he also has another life, a life lived in computers. He is a hacker and goes by the alias Neo and is guilty of virtually every computer crime for which there is a law. Morpheus, captain of the Nebuchadnezzar (a ship in The Real World), believes Neo is The One, a person who will end the war between man and machine.

After getting himself into the PDE a little under a year ago, Iggy quickly began to serve notice that he would be a force to be reckoned with. Within only a few months he had gone from complete newb to member of the 2 Hour Club. He continued the steady improvement until the early days of this year, eventually finding himself a member of the prestigious Top 20. He then had to throw himself back into his studies (he is currently working on completing an associate's degree before he graduates from high school), but has recently returned in a big way by becoming one of the most regular members of the Elite Chatroom, a position which also ended up getting him initiated into the Selection Committee for this so-called "Big Project." His favorite thing in the world seems to be posting quotations about himself, and so perhaps I should give him one of my own: Vote Iggy!

{His version} Come is, in many ways, the pitbull of the Elite. Once he gets hold of an idea, or something he wants you to do (writing new Bios, for instance) he'll never let go until one of the two of you is dead. Unfortunately, he doesn't hold himself to the same lofty standards, as projects which could potentially be very useful, such as the GE FAQ, are half-finished, delayed, given up on, and deleted.

Nightcom makes pictures. Some of them are real good. He got an FF7 match pic posted on the front page of GameFAQs.com for its championship match against Chrono Trigger, where it was seen by over 100,000 voters who visited that day.

Matt's been around a long, long time now (originally as DarkestMatt), and accomplished plenty in that time. He climbed the ranks quickly as a newcomer before going inactive for a long while, but has made several very nice comebacks over the past couple of years. His most recent pushed him to his highest rank yet, at 12th, just last month. This talented Australian is probably best know for having the same mentality as his good friend, a certain Mr. Jobst, in that they'll set their eye on a very difficult time and not give up until they've achieved it. Matt is so persistent, in fact, that he's even been able to beat the champ in knocking off two of PD's most legendary times. The first was what had been considered the "Greatest WR of All-Time" for most of the Elite's existence, Paragon's Investigation PA 2:51. Matt managed to snap it, and soon after set his sights on what became the new Best WR: Invest PA 1:52. His hard work paid off once again just last week, as he managed to tie the former champ of the Longest Lasting Untied WRs page. He seems to love the biggest challenges and the hardest levels, as he also accomplished some very nice thing in Cavern 00 back in the day. So, I guess I'll wrap it up by saying: vote giant killer! Vote Matt!

{His version} Two-time winner of the highly coveted "Most Likely to be Confused With Marshmallow" award, and yet, he IS NOT marshmallow. This Mallow has been following the Elite forever, since long before the birth of the PDE, but things didn't go too well once he actually joined in the fray. After attempting to prove himself using another's videos, he (and his accomplice) were removed from the Elite in one of the bigger scandals in recent history. But that didn't keep him from hanging around, as he has stayed very active on the boards throughout the years, even entering the exclusive 2000 Post Club. Most importantly, however, his first matchup takes place on his birthday... do you really have it in you to vote against the birthday boy? Eh?

Yup, Food made up that word to describe the two qualities that have made him famous. So famous, in fact, that he was able to swing an impressive 6 seed, despite the fact that he never competed... at anything! He entered the PDE as its 18th member back in July of '00... it would be his only taste of the Top 20. Soon after, in what he now describes as "a blaze of idiocy," he held the Elite hostage with 0:00 times, and was promptly removed. Things didn't go any smoother for him on the boards back in those days, where every step he took seemed to make him a new enemy, notably: Infil and Pika (the great online love debate), MLM (that Bush/Gore ugliness), Paragon (the first religious debates), and gg (every topic, ever). He has always been one to say whatever's on his mind, but he seemed to mellow after a 5 month hiatus, coming back as the popular, cool-headed Moderator you see today. Some have even gone so far as to call him the glue that holds General Chat together. I happen to be one of those. Food has also managed to come up with two brilliant ideas in the past couple months: The 2000 Post Club (where his consistent [constant?] postings have him ranked 3rd] and The Elite Chatroom. That's where he prefers to spend most of his time these days, chatting the day away with "Ngamer and the Crew".

As much as Tyler has come to represent the so-called "New School" of the GEE, he has actually been following the community for longer than almost anyone. Yes, he was one of many visitors to Wes's original GE ranks back in 98/99, though he didn't end up joining either of the pages until the end of 2000. Since then, he has set a Board legacy of his own: rude, insulting, random, provoking, cocky, n00b-bashing, always furious... and that's not to mention the near-constant derogatory comments about your mother. Probably the best way to describe it would be to say that he brought an LUE mentality to what had been an utterly LUEser-less community. Sometimes, though, he's flat-out hilarious. And those who have gotten to know him outside the boards report quickly becoming fast friends with the guy. What else... oh, he's played some GE, and accomplished some nice stuff there. Especially his :26 Depot Agent, :48 Egypt A, and :39 Runway 00, all of which have gotten him into hot water, in one of the funnier long-delayed proof tales I've ever seen. So, vote Tyler... if you're a *(%&sucker!

Ah, QB, what can you say about him? He has for the last several months been among the most active members of not only the boards, but also the Elite Chatroom. Thus, he quickly became one of the most important members of the Selection Committee for this very contest. Gaming-wise, he is probably best known for his complete domination of War, including his incredible untied WR of :47 SA (the video of which is about to go online tomorrow, honest!). However, what's really most striking about QB is the fact that seemingly everyone who talks with the guy soon finds themselves falling head-over-heels in love with him. In fact, in a recent poll 4/5 QB-knowers stated that they would "most likely" take a bullet for him, if the opportunity ever arose. And that, if it were true, would really speak volumes for him.

It was just about 10 months ago that captZEEbo packed up and headed off to college, leaving vacant the all-important position of Elite updater. Fortunately for us, his good friend Bryan Youse stepped up to fill those shoes, and has been doing a great job of running the site ever since. Many were surprised, perhaps even shocked, to see a player with only just over a year's experience in the Elite being entrusted with the community's most important job. That is, until they got to know him. Yes, Youse is an excellent player, a level-headed and fair judge of proof issues/legitimacy, and has shown a true dedication to getting updates in on time (when the Brazilians allow it, at least). As fine as all these traits are, they just don't get to the heart of the man's immense popularity... it is simply this: Youse is the best guy you'll ever meet. Anywhere. He is just insanely, drop-off-your-chair funny in nearly any situation, as displayed by everything from "get ready for a gRAPING!" to "tehl337h4xor Scandal" (a collaboration with Ngamer). With this man, no instant message conversation is left uninteresting, no message board posting left unhilarious. Truly, the man some call Yousey McYouse represents everything that is right about The Elite.
