James is known for his warlord poetry especially for one really good warlord "The Craven" (in the style of E.A.Poe's "The Raven"), his awk script which plays the "game of life" on signatures, and his anagrams on names. Read all about it on his warlord page: http://www.doe.carleton.ca/~jac/warlord.html. unfortunately, his page on "warlord poetry" is defunct.

Keith's signature contains almost everything there can be in a signature - and yet is "McQ"!:

Matt Welsh joined as a 14-year old kid. He recently turned 16 and he still posts bait to AFW. He usually asks about hints and cheats to the game "Warlords". This usually is followed by an ickie post saying "Cut it out, Matt" (CIO,M). Not that this would help.

Rich Holmes uses a signature which is definitely "unwarlordable" according to
signature rules:

Sven is the IC's "official Kraut". In fact he is a PERL script which became self-aware after talking to Eliza for too many hours. Since then he lived on is frequently found in various newsgroups such as AFW.
