Aaron Andries

Aaron is my old L5R friend, and ANR sparring partner since the game came out. He has finished in the top 17 at Worlds 3 times, and would’ve had a longer run in 2014 if I would’ve thrown a game to Mihn, and the software and Super Byes didn’t screw him over. One of the nicest players in the game, and an Android Netrunner Players Circuit (ANRPC) founder, as well.

Zach Cavis 

Zach is a strong player, who has contributed a large amount of strong ideas to various top level players throughout the years. His generosity with donating to various tournament prize pools is not to be undervalued.

Jon Dalessandry

This is a bit of a personal pick. Jon is a great guy, closer to my age than most ANRers, and a Detroit Lions fan, so we can both wallow in the ineptitude of our NFL teams’ lack of success over the years. Jon is a strong player who, like a lot of California players, prefers experimentation and jank to Tier 1 Best Decks All The Time. Sometimes, that jank goes his way, and he succeeds wildly.

Dan D'Argenio

What needs to be said about the GOAT? He may be a filthy dicer, and play some degenerate builds, but he’s also run some great Stimhack JNET tourneys, and has been a strong contributor to the ANRPC.

Chris Hinkes

I first played Chris at Worlds 2013. He played Kit and PE then, and has been a successful champion for them throughout the years. Chris’ unique builds have invigorated and changed the community’s thoughts on Jinteki.

Dave Hoyland

One of the best face-to-face players I’ve met. Aggressive, imposing, and just one of the most intuitive players in the game, he’s the first UK player I’d submit to the HOF. I played Dave in the Top 16 of Worlds 2014, when he was at the vanguard of the British Invasion. Glad he convinced so many of his fellow country-people to join him in the future!

Niles Stanley

I first met Niles as part of the DC trio that was at Worlds 2013. All three guys were great, fun players, but the other two noted that Niles was the deck mastermind for them. He had some truly unique builds over the years, as well as some strong ones. 

Dien Tran

Dien is the Canadian representative. He is one of the nicest, coolest kids in the game I know. Consistently tough to beat, Dien has also been is also a long-standing helper of community organizing in the Toronto area.

Minh Tran

One of the toughest people to read I have ever played against, Mihn has two impressive Worlds Top 16 runs. Also, he is the creator and force behind the best online tool for the game, jinteki.net.

Jesse Vandover

Another DC-area product, Jesse has been performing consistently well for a long time in ANR, from Regional wins, to Worlds placement, to co-winning King of Servers last year. One of the strongest players in the game over the years.

Timmy Wong

The People’s Champion, Timmy is another consistent performer for a long time now. Always a welcome voice when he’s on a podcast or video, he’s also shown how some ‘odd’ deck builds can really shine in the proper meta.

Steven Wooley

Steven is one of the heads of Team Covenant, the premier provider of video content for all of FFG’s monthly subscription products. A chill, cerebral cat who was the brains behind the Whizz resurgence back in early 2015, as well as Anatomy of Anarchy before that.

Couple notes from Fetal.AI editor Eric Caoili:

Pretty sure someone nominated me for this first wave ballot as a joke -- like I think the person who did it even told me so a while back lol. 😤😤
