Naga~Sado:
Mimmi-da-Don is a name that every veteran ps2 player knows, and for good reason. Don has been a key player in some of the most active clans across the eras such as: GNE, LSJ, GJ, and vVv. I first met Don in 2010, when he was the clan leader of BOT. He was often thr only thing keeping the clan together, back when BOT was huge in conquest and solid in jedi. BOT doesnt get enough credit for the amount of new players it brought in and trained; or the competition has brought to both jedi and conquest communities.Any clan that Don participates in seems to navigate the competitive space better.
While most know Don as a calm and collected gamer, he occasionally admits to being a competitor at heart. We often neglect to mention how important working with people who are often our competitors is. Doing so in a way that motivates all levels of players. Don has displayed his leadership consistently, since 2013, leading GNE with Ninja from the start. And in 2014, when the ps2 jedi community was deceased, Don kept the clan motivated during the move to pc; contributing to GNE's 126-42 clan scrim record.
Speaking of skill, Don is a renowned player in 3v3 and 4v4 clan matches. He was also one of the most patient and hard to kill 1v1ers. Don has the ability to react to any attack in a way that puts his opponent at risk. In large scrims, he often dictates the strategy, while keeping all the players focused. Players like Sinister, Neji, and more importantly Ninja, have commented on Don's skill and leadership. And since the OSB community has returned, Don ready to get back to his former glory, but better. Although he rejoined the community late, and had many technical problems, he has now made adjustments and is prepared to win a 3v3 tournament
In conclusion, Don is one of the most respected players of this community since the last HoF. Yet he is also one of the most genuine and funny people I have met. I am glad to see him more involved as admin, his input is always insightful and respected.
Younes:
My dude Mimmi and I have been through alot back in the day. We lead vVv together when the -V- boys dipped out on us. We held it together and kept on doing our thing on the game. As Naga stated, this mans name rings to many in the community as not only a level headed gamer but a great dude to be around. He has always had the skill to keep his team focused and on task in the middle of a match. Always keeping the game fun for all gaming with him or against him. 100% yes for me.
Hattorri:
I believe Mimmi is a player who missed out on the last HoF due to timing and this should be rectiified. He's put the time in and I remember him being one of the few new school players I was impressed with upon my various cameos back into Ps2. He's also shown a knack for a level headed approach to community issues in this rebirth. Ez yes for me :thumbsup:
Volt: I'm going to vote Don in based on his skill and leadership abilities. He's helped lead two top tier clans in vVv and GNE which says a lot. Imo, he's like the vVv version of Isac (in terms of playstyle). He excels in 3v3s and 4v4s where he is able to capitalize on the chaos that his teammates have caused. Don has always been the kind of player that every clan wants in their lineup. On top of that, Don is a respected member of the community and always gives a levelheaded perspective no matter the situation. Everyone knows who da Don is, now put 'em in the HoF.

I've been half and half on this since the time that Mimmi has been nominated. What many have expressed here is absolutely true. In a larger match setting, you definitely want to have Mimmi on your team because his playstyle has historically always been one of support. He has good intuition in knowing how to flank, sneak attack, and control the flow of a game and its eventual outcome.
This being said, his identification as a solid support player, in my eyes, has always been just that: solid. Of the top support players I can think of, Mimmi always ends up being close but never able to quite cross that threshold for me. Again though, if you asked me to assemble a 4v4/5v5/6v6 squad back in the day, Mimmi always would have been a solid pick because his play style naturally elevates others around him thereby making his team have a better chance at winning... But his individual skill and his level of support as compared to other support players would have made people choose others over him if given the option. If the HoF was solely based on skill, I would have been a no...
However, I think the element that pushes Mimmi over the edge for me has been his leadership over the years combined with his solid gameplay. Though I do remember Mimmi in vVv and eventually leading the clan with Younes when -V- left the whole of the clan high and dry, I don't remember him shining as much as when he was in GNE leadership wise. I think Mimmi shines most with GNE towards the end of the Abyssian Age (2012) and through the expansionary era of the game from around 2013 - 2015. I do fondly recall many clan battles against GNE with JOG and that being a key factor as to why the game continued to thrive in the force community during that era. Mimmi and other leaders in GNE have to be given credit for helping to keep the game interesting and competitive during that era. GNE also did many battles with -V- facing a similar grind and inspiring players like Naga/Trinity to continue to improve
On a personal note Mimmi, when vVv started to fall apart, I remember fondly having you on the top of my list as a JOG recruit. Not only did you possess the skill of a solid support player, but you also came off to me as a quality leader and quality clan member. Though you did end up leaving JOG for reasons I forget, I am glad to see your leadership showcased with GNE over the years and used to bring activity to the game. When you told me you rejected the invitation to join -V- back in the day, I gave a hearty laugh because even back in the day you had the foresight and intelligence to realize that the game's activity depended upon a more balanced approach rather than a complete collective of immense talent in one entity... You have my respect and my vote good sir!
Spidey_Almighty:
Mimmi has put more than enough effort into making this a great community over the years, lead some S-tier clans and is a great player in his own right. Only reason I feel people are on the fence about him is that he's not much of a clout chaser. I voted a while back, but it's been a yes from me.
