Flaaayin should be on the pillar in my opinion, for playing a presumed shitty build and being deadly with it.
He also had strong RP, if you could get him to engage in it, which is always hard with stealth classes unless you are in the same cabal.
He was an effective Battle leader, and I really think he was one of the main reasons Battle was strong during his time.
I don't think Susu quite lived up to the Flaaayin example, but then, I have not met many chars in general that have.

Salyeris, I would not mind seeing her up there, but I can think of reasons why she certainly wouldn't be. Salyeris was a carbon copy of Allysia, played by the same player, a month after Allysia died. Allysia is on the Nexus orb thing. I'm not sure Salyeris should be recognized as exemplary for PK statistics alone when I already know I can repeat generally that statistical PK efficacy when playing a wood elf bard in any cabal (Lasentia, Allysia, Salyeris are all top bards in their cabal- and yes, I put in Heralds cause I find it funny). So that leaves her RP, and I made it clear from day 1 as a rager that she did not care about getting on the Pillar, my only concern was just helping the Battle cabal and trying to follow the rules I thought a Rager should live by and trying to set a good example. She had a romance with a Nexun for a while. She inducted Kelarin with no mage kills. She failed to boot Lohakahn. She was Krunk's utter bitch. She raped a wood elf to have a kid. All that (except being Krunk's bitch) was Salyeris following her RP instead of doing the technical right things. Those are 5 reasons to keep her off the Pillar, because ultimately she followed her personal RP over Battle RP.

To make the pillar, I see it as Battle RP has to be the controlling factor and influence on a char, not personal RP.

I didn't really play a lot when Susu was around, but looking at his pbf and death thread.
Susu was a major player in reviving Thror. That's certainly a plus for following Battle RP.
Objectively, a rager that helped restore a god of Battle is not all that common so shouldn't he be recognized for that?
In light of all his objective statistics plus his participation, I think he makes the cut for people on the PIllar unless there were RP issues that discouraged some, which I can't say I am in a position to comment on.
But arguing with Imms for any reason, least of all a Battle Imm, is probably enough to detract from the other objective positives the character displayed. (Good RP, strong PK skill)

I think it was more of his responses to some things in game, and honestly, his death thread, that may have kept him off.
Not sure how many can play a rager as well as he did, but it's just a thought that if someone with a more laid back approach played an identical character that was involved in similar important global events to the same PK success and had consistent strong Battle driven RP, they'd make the pillar without question.
