Most skilled EverQuest player and most skilled Red99 player are different things in my opinion. Red99 is a game that is as much politics and mental game than strict EverQuest playing.
I think hands down it has to be Cwall for best Red99 player. He won ForumQuest for over a year while NOT playing, then attended a GM event on a level 1 and got an AoN. Then traded AoN for a 59th iksar monk with tstaff. Then was a thorn in the side of the empire for a year while winning the BoTB against the leader of the empire. Then took over and led the new empire as the best expansion of EverQuest is being released positioning himself to win the only expansion that ultimately matters.
HB gets honorable mention and need be considered as one of the better Red99 players. His career has had him in the middle of some, if not all, of the best drama and he has always been a member of the guild that winning the server at different times.
Lovely is hard to refute except destroying 2 backpacks of manastones is only slightly less impressive than if he'd RMT'd them on his stream instead.
If Red99 is the House of Cards of EverQuest. HB might be Frank Underwood. I think he might get my vote as runnerup to Cwall whose career is truly brilliant.
