Endpoint Quake Podcast: Who is the greatest Quake player OF ALL TIME?

Always a fun exercise, and interesting to see what standards other people use to guide them. A couple of thoughts.

1. TDM and CTF are such integral parts of the Quake history, especially it's heyday, that it's disheartening to see such little significance placed on them. Including these would totally change the dynamic of these lists.

2. The strength of the competitive community when weighting and assessing results should be taken more seriously into consideration. The early period of 99-02 boasts the largest community, most activity, greatest infrastructure, with a significant pool of the total pc community in the west competing against each other. In comparison, although players were able to achieve historic feat much later on, it was relatively shallow competitive pool, and as a result, I don't think quite as impressive. Not at all the fault of players involved, but I think it's an overlooked annoyance.

3. It's a shame there is so much missing data from the earlier days.
