[@Sigil_Firebrand]

Thomas is one of the most under rated people in the group for no good reason, he isn't a master of 10D chess like Swimmy and Golden, and he doesn't have the naval prowess of the gods like Bo, or the consistency of Dankus, but it's really rare he does something woefully stupid or even really makes a major mistake. But he doesn't have main character syndrome so we just kind of, you know, don't notice him usually.

[@azarshadakumuktir4551]

@@Sigil_Firebrand I think he also never really does anything exeptionnal, which you sometimes need, he is better than Swimmy or Golden or even College since he is actually able to micro but he will often do what is easiest and thus not really impact who is winning or losing in the game, him being very often a US player doesn't help. He is one of the best players in the group though, that's right. I think I would put him after Bo, Cho King, Dankus and Lennard and perhaps on par with College but before the rest, skill level tends to vary a lot though...
