I also find it odd how Sven is so far down on the list, but one to consider is that he was rather late to the roleplay scene; he didn't join Britain and the EITC until the summer of 2011 when I first befriended him. However, I don't think it's fair to say he's done more for roleplay than the rest of us have. Davy Menace is one of the four founders of the EITC and was one of the guildmasters of one of the greatest EITC guilds in history, the Black Mercenaries (of which I was a long time officer) from late 2008 to late 2009. I personally have been in the EITC for quite a while as well, being, as I said, an officer in the Black Mercenaries, and then second-in-command of the Co. Empire. After the Co. Empire fell, I took a year long hiatus before returning in 2011 to rise again in the ranks under Breasly and Redbeard. I too was surprised to see myself at number twelve but I suppose the reasoning is mostly longevity. In defense of Mad and Storm, both played vital roles in the wars between Britain and Spain ever since their enlistment into the EITC (by me, hehe) in 2011 until the game's closing. I wouldn't say they should be higher than Sven, but they're definitely important.
