I think generally everyone who frequents this forum stands on my list. Its this group that keeps me coming back. This community keeps me playing. So a hardy thanks goes out to all the smugglers here who make this the best profession in the game.

Great post Geevo! It shows your true nature (and trust of us, your brethren) that you would post something as near to your heart as this list.
I, like Yimaz (scary!) would include Ternque01 and also DRWolfe. Oh and of course you, because obviously you wouldn't put yourself on your own list!

I think the list of influential people on this board has a good number of names more, but eh, that's me. Everyone makes their contribution

Allen Greenspan is a good one, though I imagine he hates his job sometimes. I can't say I'd like to have it...especially when you are trying to do one thing based on your professional knowledge and experience, but people who think they understand the vagaries of economic policy in a global and dynamic international market place simply because they convinced enough people to buy their promises are trying to do something else.
Not to knock Presidents of any flavor, but it's got to annoy Mr. Greenspan when Presidents take credit for his hard work. It's pretty much a thankless, but critical job. Just once, I'd like a President to stand up and say, Hey the economy is getting better, we should all give Alan a pat on the back or something. Then again as they say, victory has a thousand parents, but defeat is an orphan.

You gotta admit one thing about the kind of power Greenspan inadvertantly wields- its a bit scary. He sneezes, and dozens of stock brokers take a dive out of thier windows...

well I love you all....
Apart from the big fat dev that kept ruining swg publishs by saying things like "but why do we have to do all that coding to make shuttle times 1 minute when we can just put a / in the wrong place and break something else." Luckly the rest of the devs manage to convice him that the decussion for upcoming publishes were now on friday afternoonswhen really it's on a thursday mornings.
This happened around the time ofpublish 12.1
Big fat dev is now working on the Power ranger profession which will be coming to you as soon as they pull the plug on swg servers. Big fat dev is current;y very happy.
