Hmm... That is quite tough. Considering how many people I've met in my 'travels' over the past 4 years in the SL community.
I'd have to say the following:
1. Eric
2. Kayenta
3. Silver
4. Zojin
5. Raijin
6. Bocchiere
7. Saki
8. Chusaki
9. Shirosaki/Hakai/Hero of Time
Bonus. Me (No, seriously)
Eric - Well, as he stated when he said I was one of his favorite users, he's been my Senpai since '08, and the second overall since Sensei, he was the first friend I actually made, and he is also one of the few who basically kicked me in the rear to start RPing seriously.
Kayenta - Ah, sensei. Always ready to greet me with some form of physical contact, be it a poke on the forehead or a thwack to the back of the head. She was one of the first few people who actively tried to stop my god-modding (but since I was so stubborn, it took TWO YEARS for it to cease entirely) and she's still actively helping me whenever we speak. (Even if she does hit me. *sniff*)
Silver - Well, Silver and I had a bit of a hatred for each other from 2008 to about earlier this year, but that's grown into something a friendly rivalry, he's one of the few people who openly helps me with my RP like the two listed above, and he also tells me not to push myself, quite often really.
Zojin - Zojin-san is another 'rival' of mine and also the person I credit for helping me get off my rear, and take my Jounin Exam. I find her intellect to be on par with my own, and am willing to openly state it IC (God don't make me openly state it IC...) not to mention her fighting style is pretty 'neat' as well.
Raijin - Raijin-sama is very interesting to me, he and I met in '08-'09 and I never really bothered with him until he became Kazekage and I moved to Suna. He's one of the people willing to call me out on my crap besides sensei. (This doesn't mean god-modding but rather arrogance, etc. etc.) and I can wholeheartedly respect him for that because it helps me grow as a person
Bocchiere - To be honest, I don't exactly like Bocchiere, but he has always provided a decent challenge, even if he's killed me once, and claimed to do so several times (though it has only been ONCE.) I dislike his OP-ness, but I do like his sense of bravado and immaturity every now and then.
Saki - Saki-dono. Well, she and I met just recently, and I suppose we don't know each other all that well, but she's very unique in my opinion because of the way she acts with valor and whatnot...
Chusaki - My second sensei, the man who originally taught me how to use my Suiton Chakra. Chusaki's been a good friend of mine since... I think '09... anyway, he's helped me through ups and downs, and he is quite funny as well. When I heard he came back (after leaving SL) first thing I did was challenge my old -senpai to a fight. It was very fun, and a good test of my skills, as fighting Chusaki always has been.
Shirosaki - Shiro was the person who helped me re-launch Getsu in the summer of 2011, he started off as just a subordinate of mine, but it was interesting to see him grow. He was my best friend, and it saddens me to think he has finally quit SL after a year. He surpassed me a long time ago, and I wish he was around now to see how much I've improved. He's also gnoe by Hakai and currently known as the Hero of Time.
As a bonus, I'd like to say myself from 2011 to now, because that's when I fully stopped godmodding, and
started being more detailed with my posts. Though I'm still pretty arrogant IC, that trait is slowly being corrected.
If you think I forgot you, please send me a PM on S.L. Since I don't visit the forum very often.
