Once the EGO and 404 merge happened, it was just a matter of how fast we would win the world. I wish Berty would have made it til the end but I guess the crazy Scot had better things to do 
My favorite memory of berty was the time we each had a sat account that we got invited to FWS. Once in the tribe, he pretended to be a Greek who hated Egyptians and I pretended to be an Egyptian who irrationally hated Greeks. We didn't really need or want to spy on FWS we merely wanted to be entertained with their forum scribblings and stage fake fights between two fake kooks on their boards (Trojan Horse got kicked for being too rude to the greek berty ). The funniest post was that FWS leaders thought Berty and Bayou were the same person mutli-accounting, lmao.
The most fun for me back in the old 404 (by which I mean the first 404, Smash, and then the second 404) days was the fighting. We only had one rule as all you ex-404 guys and gals recall One of my fondest memories was taking out Cosa Nostra with Banesmasher. I was playing the lllll account under an extended sit and here were two Sie AQ accounts ripe for the picking (we also rimmed the Mike223 account) at a time when Sie was a power in the world, ranked number 1. Bane and I coordinated and kept up a constant stream of attacks, no fakes. Bane did most of the nobling as I was unsure of the future of the lllll account since the owner was not clear whether he was coming back and I didn't want him growing only to barb on us so my contribution was mostly nukes and support. I knew after that op that we had a great crew with good chemistry and a shared appreciation of the fact that this game favors offensive action. Which was the reason for our one rule -- NO BARBS! The best part was laughing st Sie's reaction to our attacks. Did they fight back? No, they booted Cosa Nostra!!
The most fun in EGO404 was the beatdown we put on BoT. Sdon, Dave, YDOROX, Sir Ed, Firehorse and others constantly spamming nukes at those hapless punching bags up in the Northwest, just like all the other ops conducted in EGO404. I guess that one stands out in my mind because they occasionally fought back and their mail left us in stitches; the semi-coherent hatemail in czech-english was priceless. Typical mails were -- "We will never surrender" "You are too arrogant" "I am son of kings" -- not sure what the last one meant but you get the idea.
Kudos to Bane, Davehole, YDORX, Sdon, Chris2218, Dryke, brob, orel, and Matt for conceiving of, and implementing, the Ego! and 404 merge (I apologize if I've left anyone out). The Skype chat where we hashed out the details was just about one year ago; 10 1/2 months to conquer the world -- nice pace
Finally, my thanks to old 404 for electing me as your Duke in EGO404.
