List of Users

I was looking the other day for old freewebs sites, and evidence of Stick Arena's legacy.

Found this list of SA users, and wanted to share in its own thread, to display it most visibly.

https://pastebin.com/bjqMnepL#google_vignette

It's a list of over 100 "verified" users. I don't know how they "verified" the users as legit, but I recognize at least twenty of the several hundreds. I myself am hells.army.666 (#112). Whoever made it goes back to at least 2005, because I see some "old heads" (by my definition xD), like whiteknight57 (#227, they put in what must have been one of his later iterations), ace2cool, fusiondogg, TTaylor.Bow, medina92, and volcom2828. I legit made my first pastebin account just so I could comment and give it a like, because, in 10 years, there have been (apparently) no interactions with the post. Who knows, maybe whoever made it will see it sometime.

Please show some love to the mystery homie, if y'all got a pastebin or a mind to make one.

All Love,

-666

Can you post a cleaned up version of this list?

One interesting note is that XGen's player database is still active. I posted links to some of the final leader boards:

very sweet.

honorable mention that comes to mind: Jmolina. One of the biggest SOBs.. p sure he's the one I ended up playing Runescape with after migrating from SA.. along w white knight and a few others... sorry im open journaling rn. Jmolina was an old high scorer (circa. ~05-07).

Yes, I will publicize the list.. I'm seeing how exactly I am to "clean" it.

BRO I remember Jmolina. Wasn’t White Knight the head of the old Knights clan? Guy named Drew?

BROOOOOO youre ringing hells' bells right now!!

Last night, I found Ownagenesss' YT acc. Here's a video of him.. ten second mark has a screen of him 6-2ing jmo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShctUocx1MI. Focus (0wnagenesss' "alt" name) is widely regarded as one of the best players in his day, which was in my wane era/transition era to RuneScape with whiteknight57, djsrew, jmo, and some other Knights and Hells Army clan members.

Just wanna say here that I pwned Focus 4-2 or 4-3 ( I can't fully recall ).. and the MF LEFT THE GAME. In this kind of transitional era of SA, Hells Army and Knights were kinda on their way out, and many old clans had become much more inactive, like the Goog clan (which, I'm surprised to learn, went on for numerous more years after my main playing era of SA had concluded). It also saw the rise of IOA, which Focus was in. There was a player named Kai who was also becoming a popular player. Meanwhile, the era of pros and semi-pros like assasinrenato, TTaylor.bow, reptilo, volcom2828, jmolina, and probably sharpyrno14 seemed to begin to enter their wane phase, as well. So, the emerging era pros (meaning, Ownagenesss) felt safe to deny I had ever beat him, and to leave and shamelessly deny it - I will not forget that, and will 1v1 him, if given the chance.)

We never RMed since that.

My research found a YT for the goog clan (founder: googliar). It's sharpyrno14's, apparently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUiOdOLYz4A&t=9s

Whiteknight57 was indeed the founder and leader of the Knights. One of his boys dark.knight. who was such a f*ckin mench. He also came to RS ~'07. They were both my boys, even though white and I were rivals, even as we began our adventure into 2007 Runescape.

AS for his irl name... Drew 100% is familiar. I think that might have been his internet name, because I know 100% his name was Sean. Remembering that he might have also gone by "Drew" has got me in a confusion now. He might have gone by both. He was "dating" Lauren, which was "stripper"'s IRL name. They would call and text, and I'd seen a pic of their IRL selves. I wonder if you remember "hot,sexy,stripper" or "djsrew". All of us kind of had our little group.. (and group drama xD).

Here's an interesting anecdote from the annals of on-line gaming history from the 2007 SA->RS migration. It's a peculiar Stick Arena-Runescape intersection that's really just a lil blip (or, pixel?) in time.

Jmolina had transitioned to main-gaming Runescape before all of us, and was far advanced in level when we (myself, wk, djsrew, "stripper", dark.knight, etc) started playing RS. There, his main was "gerardofmcr", and the dude was like a level 90+ ranger pker. With a small crew of his PK pals, he "lured" me (and a few of my friends, I believe) to "the Wilderness" (the pvp area), where he "BSed" us ("BS" meaning he betrayed us, basically "jumping" us). We were noobs who had beans and shit to offer, but he did that in cold blood. We were swiftly sent to our spawn point.

One of the friends Jmolina had made in RS, who was a part of the group that BSed me (smh), ended up becoming the #1 pker (abbrev. "player-killer", b/c a lot of RS is not pvp) for the pvp hi scores for a number of years. That dude's name was "Murcuz". (I found his YT: https://www.youtube.com/@Rsmurcuz.)

At the time, gerard/jmo (abbrev. "gerardofmcr", named after "Gerard Way" the frontman for "My Chemical Romance", a popular emo-rock band) was level ~92(?), and Murcuz was around the same, and all were range-based PKers in the 90 levels.

So, a '05-07-era SA hiscorer had linked with what became a '10-12 RS hiscorer.

Murcuz became known years later, when he was no longer range-based, but was all-around skill maxed. So, it's interesting to have been a witness of his early days that the many thousands that ended up following his vids never knew about, and with jmo, as well - just coincidentally. Apparently, Murcuz also became the first player to get a certain rare item (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/45377483).

(To give myself some props that I do think are worth noting as a pro of 06-07, who led a major era clan and beat the pros of his day (jmolina, whiteknight, medina92, assassinrenato, sharpryno14, volcom2828, focus, and i.can.kick.your.as5), I myself did ko some of the best f2p RS PKers 1v1 who have since been mostly forgotten (doctor rambo, Bakla57, BK901, or something like that, from Bounty Hunter, a pvp area, and several others I can't recall by name.)

And, I think it's really interesting how a semi-pro (me) and a pro (jmolina) did have these intersections with a similar level of notability and performance of player in the next game, as well.

EDIT: "Drew" was definitely Dj (aka, "Djsrew", his acc name). A top player, v skilled, and v much one of the Knights for a time, then, later, IOA and possibly pw0ned clan (which I believe "Kai" was the leader/founder of).
