One thing about me, I always give credit where credit is due. The title of this thread was stolen from a quote by this guy:

When he wrote that about me, I cried. For hours. He was talking about this particular string of words: http://metagame.com/vs.aspx?tabid=46&ArticleId=4824

And now I am crying again. For joy. For exquisite beauty. For all it's worth, in my humble opinion, this is the best article ever written about Vs. System. I vow to top it someday. For now, my friends, you wear the crown: http://metagame.com/vs.aspx?tabid=46&ArticleId=7037

And I ask you, Realms, what is the best article you have ever read about our beloved game? You don't have to link it, although that would be cool too.

What moved you enough to remember it?

Wow. That was pretty good.

Personally, my favorite is still the Mysterio preview article.

this one by Tim's wheelbarrow

You have exceptional taste in prose, but you are so damned lazy: http://metagame.com/vs.aspx?tabid=46&ArticleId=354

That one is now third on my list. Anything Geordie Tait (including every one of my banners) is second place: http://metagame.com/vs.aspx?tabid=68&AuthorId=28

We Did It! by Tommy Ashton.

"Obviously, this would be the most consistent version of the deck; however, it suffers from the same debilitating flaw that plagues many creations of mine: it's only 43 cards. Much like the Britney Spears song of the same title, this deck is not a limited deck, not yet a constructed deck.

To anyone who expected the Britney Spears reference to take the form of “Oops, WE DID IT again,” my deepest apologies and sincerest dislike."

Cards I like OR Stealing deck ideas from he who cannot be named

I cannot possibly express how much I look forward to AP's articles but this one is quite likely perfect. Close runner up (because of the bomb format it introduced):

The One Big Deck Format

I don't know, I kind of liked that one with the crmelords/JLI

well, i thought i was done writing my half of the Kree article, but i guess i have to go back and write like 10 more pages. jeez!

ok, this is hard for me to say so i'll just say it and get it over with: thank you...STU. :classic:

anyway, i agree with Adam, TA is probably the best. TW is a close second but, his match coverage is just about the only coverage i ever read. his mastery of the British language (that guy does not speak English, IMHO) is unparalled.

Adam is pretty awesome too. someone said this in another thread, but his last article was nothing short of brilliant. that rare strategy article that actually teaches you something. not me though, i already knew all that crap.

one last shout-out goes to Steve 'kamiza' Garrett. the way he relates playing Versus to martial arts...always an enjoyable read.
