I agree with the list too. Never heard of Edwin, but I know Finesse is a very elite guild.

True, I agree with Troololol. Finesse is just a small group of random nobodies that's undeserving of such high accolades, neither is any of its members interested in being ranked in an arbitrary table. Have fun duking it out to be the top 10 guilds, or even the bestest best guild, I wish you good luck :)

im flattered by seeing our humble guild had been chosen . I believe that are more deserving guild to take our place.

Impervious

Knights and day

In the jelly

The risen

Kage no senshi

Shadow mercerny

Gun slinger priest

Old school ( shortest van time down )

Ptt formas

All this are great guild that are deserving to be mention in this thread.

Aww thanks Icycloud for mentioning Impervious <3

To comment on the topic, it's really hard to say which are the top 10 guilds because there's really no real solid basis for measure. For example - Base it on gear? That does not equal to good skill because gear can be bought; on experience? Spiral Knights is not a ridiculously complicated game and the bosses are made to be beat that any competent player who go through them a few times can have it locked down, and therefore its only a matter of how much you play/being familiar with the levels/where mobs spawn/knowing when to shield or to run away/obtaining more desirable gear that each run should be easier and more efficient; best timed boss run? similar to the previous point with experience and will help if you know how to use your weapons well; activity? that would highly be dependent on your guild size, vision, purpose and strictness. Hmm..

On the whole, I find this 'top 10' business to be highly subjective and even with polls, it would still be bias because it's all a matter of individual interactions or experiences with one another which would vary depending on the circumstance. Once again, Spiral Knights is a pretty simple game and everyone have different reasons to play it ... but I truly believe there are many extremely skilled players scattered everywhere who choose to play solo or belong in guilds who just can't be bothered to socialize or publicize themselves simply because it's not their style. You can respect consistently skilled players in guilds when you see them, but unless one has interacted with all guilds and a great majority of their members with a solid basis of measure in mind, 'top guilds' are inevitably subjective and can be questioned.

Just my two cents! Although I would be interested to hear it if anyone have any recommendations for a way to measure :)

:)

Thanks for mentioning us in there. =^D

In my opinion, here is my Top Ten (Not including Knights and Day).

Note: Some guilds I havn't seen around much, so you may not be in there for that reason.

(Not counting KaD in there, here's my top 10.)
Coup De Grace
Unity
Guild/Knightmare
Valkyrie Knights
Reign of Chaos
The Risen
Impervious
The Jempire
Echo of Silence
Kage No Senshi
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
^^Totally not 11.^^
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This is not in any order, just to confirm that. If your guild isn't in there, it may be because I've seen few (If any members of your guild) and/or I havn't had many runs with you guys.

Edit: I've decided to rework some guilds into there.

a new wiki page for top 10 guild!!! feels free to edit!

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Top_10_guild

I think you guys have got this all wrong. I don't even know any of these guilds. I reckon the best guilds are as follows:

1. One Knight Stand
2. Big Black Guildo
3. Elephant Balls Posse
4. Smelly Panties
5. Big Juicy Melons
6. Everyonehatesfallout
7. Echo of Sausage

I only list 5 because no other guilds come even close so they shouldn't be in the same list.

Edit: Some new guilds have made the cut! Check them out today!

@Strudul

Nope, didn't forget. I thought they disbanned.

@Whitelancer

I can easily agree that Edwin has some of the richest players, and Finese DOES have amazing LD players. I did that list when I was tired, I may change it later.

I'm going to have to agree with Njthug 1,000%:

1. Three Rings
2. Three Rings
3. Three Rings
4. Three Rings
5. Three Rings
6. Three Rings
7. Three Rings
8. Three Rings
9. Three Rings
10. Three Rings

:)

I have to agree with milkman on this one.

1. One Knight Stand
2. Big Black Guildo
3. Elephant Balls Posse
4. Smelly Panties
5. Big Juicy Melons

although I would like Big Juicy Melons number three and Smelly Panties as four since Elephant Balls Posse has lost their balls and left with just the posse.

Well I'm just glad to see Kage no senshi mentioned lol Thanks

personal opinions here, i wont include my own guild in my Top ten.

Coup De grace
The Risen
Reign of Chaos
Knightmare
Unity
Tier Zero
Immortals ( I like the name lol)
Valkyrie Knights
Gunslinger priests
Guild

I wouldn't know how active they really are but i see a few players everyday from each. For one reason or another those are the guilds i like, again excluding mine.

I kinda enjoy those lists, although don't agree on most of them but they sum it up.
Nj and EoS deserve their place on those lists and I can't disagree that Guild plays pretty well.
Never saw much of Edwin and Finese though but witnessed most of the others in Lockdown.

Finesse has only lost two Lockdown games total due to a player disconnecting from both matches (5 v 6) and Timeless was not one of those two guilds that won. We keep track of our records. [:

However, I do agree with you that this thread is meant for the top most well-known guilds.

Let's do this!

Knightmare
Guild
Echo of Silence
Jempire
Coupe de Grace
Reign of Chaos
Edwin
Finesse
Active/Unity

Honorable Mentions:
Knights and Day
Valk Knights

sorry anly but we beat you :) i distinctly remember it.

although you beat us like 8 times.

That's a bit weird. We also distinctly remember our unbeaten run ever since we started GvG before losing twice on the same day because Stompt had connection issues. After that incident, we're back on a winning track. It's not that we would be embarrassed to admit defeat, but like Anly said, we do keep track of our records in GvG. Also, looking at our records, we only had three matches against Timeless. You might have confused yourself with random Lockdown matches or Finesse with another guild.

I would like to inquire if you have a screenshot to back your claims though, thanks. :)

I've also been asking around and nobody remembers it. Although we do make an effort to screenshot every GvG we've done, there's nothing we can do to disprove a loss; however, it's as simple as posting a screenshot for you to prove a win. Until then it's just your word against ours.

We aren't the type of guild who would boast about records, but we don't appreciate false claims which is why we'd speak out about it. Please understand we wouldn't be offended if your guild did beat us, we'd appreciate more challenges if anything.

Anyways, we're more than happy to schedule a match or show you the screenshots we have on file vs. Timeless if you'd like, just let us know!

Too bad cause everyone in Finesse is a striker except Hadn maybe.

No messiah ur information is incorrect. I do believe when i joined Finesse we had a 70-75 win streak and my connection problems made that go away.
We didnt play u once when i joined Finesse so u couldnt have beaten us.

Finese owns at Lockdown enough said =0

In the name of TDG, i claim us 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944.....
THE END(we win :D )

"i could understand you not remembering a loss"

That statement really irks me because you are implying that we lose enough to not remember how many times we lost. We have only lost twice, so yes, we would definitely remember a loss. We are a small enough guild to keep track of every match and we make sure to screenshot them all. Just because you generalize the fact that "not everyone keeps perfect records" doesn't mean that there aren't perfect records out there. To make a claim that your memory and the words of others should be reliable enough is just arrogant and silly.

I'm only this riled up because I love my guild to death and am very proud to be part of it. It isn't below us to admit defeat when it happens, and when it does, we will proudly give props to the guild responsible.

Being from Eos, and having a pretty good pvp team I have to admit this:

Finese in my own personal view is one of the best guilds in Pvp. Eos has played most of the guilds who are pretty active and Pvp, and Finese is easily a guild that can kick our ass in lockdown if we don't even play at all seriously. I have to admit they do a pretty good job with there bombers and gun mix. They make sure our key strikers can't even get close to them, and is easily one of the only guilds that can isolate Eos fully. With our A team which I swear we never even did one round with since well...we don't have everyone on at similar times I am sure we might hold a challenge, but they are pretty good. This is my own personal view on Finese in pvp.
