| + | This brief synopsis was originally posted on September 4, 2000 by Ngamer: |

| + | ''''The first ever real competition of the "Elite" was when a new poster named RaydenEG posted on the Pdark Leagues forum that he couldn't get the cheat for Infiltration SA. I replied a few hours later with a complete strat for it, and Yako replied by saying I was "crazy" in thinking that you could get by the 3rd auto-gun with enough health left. By the end of the day it had become a 3-way competition to see who could get the best time for the level. After about 4 days, we gave up, and I think that Rayden had the WR with a 1:19. |

| + | Then a cocky poster know as PerfectLight busted in said that he would like to compete, but on a different level than Infiltration. This eventually turned into a competition on Attack Ship SA, where PL came out on top. About a week later, another cocky young man know to us only as "SnapDragon" came on to the scene, and immediately impressed me in the first levels he competed on. |

| + | Eventually I came up with my own webpage that contained all of my times. Soon everyone was making their own page. I believe it was Snap who in a post before he left on vacation said "Good luck on your times everyone. Yako, Rayden, Ngamer, you guys are more than elite." Which gave me the idea that we should all link to each other's pages, to form a kind of big webring, and call ourselves the "Perfect Dark Elite". When PDark when down the next week, Snap created the system, the page, and the first rankings for the PD Elite. I was on vacation at the time, but when I came back and took the link to the page from a E-mail Snap sent out, I think my first impression was |
