Isn't the correct spelling Ninjas in Pyjamas? --User:212.105.39.47 20:40, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
- I've been to their website and you are correct. I have requested a move. --Habap 19:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Is the bds listed here the same one who was involved in the development of SoGamed precursor GeekBoys? --Habap 19:09, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Appears so - so I linked it. --Habap 19:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge
No reason given. I think it's a foolish idea by someone on a campaign to eliminate articles on gaming personalities and groups. --Habap 14:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
I see no reason to merge. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 00:43, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
Why should an article about a gaming personality in his own right be merged with his team? It's like merging Beckham into the ManU article. Silly suggestion which goes against the standard wikipedia format.
[edit] The addition of both history and a few notable former players
There are a number of players that really should be mentioned in the list of former notable players. These are players that helped define what would become a great climate for Swedish CS playing.
The following is not intended to be put on the page at all, but I will add something sized down in due time, preferrably after response in this Talk-page.
The material can be reviewed through use of the following link: http://www.esportsea.com/index.php?s=esports&d=content&id=1819 - It details the rise of NiP, from birth to death, to ressurection.
A few players I feel should be mentioned:
Yohan "Hyb" Carlund - Held membership through the change from NiP to Eyeballers in 2000, then from Eyeballers to c9 in 2001, left for the clan MAFIA with MedioN when the latter was kicked from the clan and NiP subsequently broke up into the clans All* (Allstars) and MAFIA who became SoA.swe (Spirit of Amiga Sweden). Later returned to NiP when the clan was reunited in it's most famous and star-studded lineup ever: Potti, HeatoN, Hyb, XeqtR and MedioN.
Hyb should be mentioned because he has spent a considerable amount of time among the top players in the world in other teams too (Game OnLine, eSports United Sweden / team 9, etc).
Jörgen/Joergen "XeqtR" Johannessen - After having beaten NiP at events in his current team SoA (Spirit of Amiga), XeqtR joined the NiP team during their existance as clan 9 / team 9 in 2001 and stayed with the team until just before CPL Dallas in 2001, when trouble arose and he had decided to participate in the event with the swedish team GoL (Game OnLine) after being kicked from NiP or decided to leave. After that event was won by NiP XeqtR returned to NiP and was part of the famous lineup mentioned above: Potti, HeatoN, Hyb, XeqtR and MedioN.
XeqtR played for Schroet Kommando Scandinavia and subsequently Schroet Kommando Sweden, aswell as Game OnLine, Nordic Division (that became eSports United Sweden / team 9). XeqtR also played for eoLithic, a clan poised to become the best in the world, and beat his old team in SK.swe twice with them.
Erik "MedioN" Engström - Was a first generation Ninja in Pyjamas and after the brief leave for MAFIA / Spirit of Amiga Sweden he remained faithful to the Ninjas before effectively leaving the team when he announced that he was retiring from CS after CPL Dallas in 2001. MedioN was a ground pillar in the NiP team, having never been pushed aside to make room for anyone else. He helped create NiP and helped make it the world-famous team it became. He is an original Ninja and should be mentioned both in the "History..."-section aswell as the "Notable former players..."-section.
Michael "Ahl" Korduner - Ahl joined NiP when they found theirselves in need for a new player after kicking XeqtR just before CPL Dallas 2001. He had been a member of Game OnLine and was on his way up. He joined the team together with MAFIA cleanleader Vesslan. With NiP he won the ICE CPL qualifiers and together they earned their spot in the 2001 CPL Dallas event - The lineup was now Potti, HeatoN, Hyb, MedioN, Ahl and Vesslan. Together they made what could easily be described as NiP's biggest accomplishment ever; winning the 2001 CPL Dallas event, with X3, the best american team and thought to be the world's best team placing second and GameOnLine placing third.
Ahl was a member of the team throughout the majority of the Schroet Kommando era and has been a part of many of the other nordic powerhouses such as eSports United Sweden / team 9. He also made the mirrored transition from Schroet Kommando to Ninjas in Pyjamas, effectively being part of the most notable changes in NiP history.
Johan "Vesslan" Ryman - Former clanleader of MAFIA, Vesslan joined NiP together with Ahl for CPL Dallas in 2001, winning that event. Vesslan was later kicked after the return of XeqtR, but has been a part of Swedish CS longer than many others. He has, in his participation in teams such as eSports United Sweden / team 9 helped CS a great deal and is therefore notable.

- I think this is too much detail for Wikipedia. If there were a eSports-wiki, it would be useful there, but it's more than would be of interest to the casual encyclopedia reader. So, limiting it to a listing of their names in former players is about all that would make sense. --Habap 15:23, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
