2 people stand out for me:
Firstly, Gate. He's relatively new to the game and ND, and in the short space of time he never ceases to amaze me with his skill, determination and efforts for the ND cause. Last round I think he probably did more to help his alliance than anyone in any alliance. Running raids and TA for weeks on end, without a break, organising politics and DCing til crazy hours, saving my arse many times. And on top of it all, he's a genuinely nice guy.
Secondly, Kid_Z. Starting out in the same alliance in R4, and never strayed far from each other. Always dependable, has one of the best tactical heads in the game, but unfortunately for me he's often too lazy to use it
He always gives me sound advice, a reality check now and again but most of all he's never once let me down.
Also, Mek for dropping out of my r9 gal.
