Sorry Knitter. I'll actually aid to the original post now.
I played with all noobs back when I played in the early 2000s. I was in a clan called xRIPx. We were all noobs and we played classic games on fastest and everyone stayed away from GOW because we thought it was gay because that's the only thing people played (ironic). We could beat a lot of them on classic game maps, so we thought we were better than we were.
I'll name some random people most of you may not know but were a part of when I was playing early on. I didn't start playing GOWEF until maybe 2015?
1) xRIPx_Th0rn - he was the leader of xRIPx and our best player. Later found out he hacked though. Not sure what his akas were.
2) xRIPx_x-tah_C- 2nd in command for xRIPx and was leader of war3tft xRIPx clan. I called him once because the clan was going to disband due to his inactivity (we've never spoke outside of war2 ever and I think he forgot he gave me his number years ago just in case). It was super awkward... LOL. "Hello? X_tah-C?" (pretty sure he was high too)
3) xRIPx_Unholy and xRIPx_Nedok and xRIPx_Vizzerdrix(?)- Unholy (terror[is]) was new and I taught him, Vizz (ares) was like 8 years old, and Nedok was pretty good. I list them because I wound up seeing them again 10 years later which I thought was cool. Sort of some of my few old school clannies/friends I had when I first started.
4) Br@d- Classic games guy. For us, he was a higher up skilled player. Reminded me a bit like player (time for player to respond and say it was him). Nice but kind of a lone wolf. Never joined any clans and played mostly all types of games.
5) Buildmorefarms. - Always a nice guy. He was very good at a lot of maps and knew them like the back of his hand. Gold rush was his best one. He still logs on once in a great while.
6) SoCxWarChief - The founder of Socx (which later became clan is or as?). Very respectable guy. Was more about the clan than the actual game. He was always professional and kind. He setup a lot of clan wars for Socx and was a true clan leader.
7) Denni - Barely remembered this name but he played a lot with Socx I think too or was in it. SocxDenni I think. He's another player like Br@d but even better. At the time, he was one of the top players I knew. Never heard of him since. He was around Lux' skill level.
I forget Lux's Socx name but they brought that fucker in as a ringer (found out like 4 years ago) when we did clan wars!!! LOL. Him and... I think SocxMaster/Denni beat most of us. Th0rn and maybe 1 other guy could hold their own vs them. Master came back during Covid and was a lot better than I thought he would be. Maybe we weren't THAT noob.
9) Arson666 - First guy I ever played with consistently as a 2s pard when we were both new. I've since seen him one time randomly like 8 years ago.
10) Other Socx- Ghost, StannyDingy, Darksol/Rsldot - Didn't see them for years since I quit. When I came back, they were both playing and I was super excited but both quit like a month later.
11) BRAVIET- Ha, almost forgot, we used to play classic games maps on F with him a bit. At the time, he was average I believe.
12) ~~Wooferz~~- When I came back from War3, I wound up playing GOWF. He played it a lot with me, along with other F players at the time (Skunk, OldEnglish, Angel, Sonic[is], Van, Goblin, Redskins, Player, Sparkz once in a while, Masa, Pink, sh4de, and a bunch more that are likely on my /f l) and he was one of those top players. He was very good at 2-3 halling and massing air. Never spoke ANYTHING about his life (like player) when you asked though. He always deflected for some reason. Even now... He also played with his wife sometimes. BeardedGoat.
13) HunglikeOrc/Yah'mon- Didn't know either but Hung had like 100k games and Yah'mon was always on, so I always saw his name the few times I went into that GOW channel that was always full. I forget the name of the channel. Yah'mon came back on 6-7 years ago and played a lot for like 5 months. Got really good again and towards the end, was having a series w/swift and winning some games. I think he lost but it was at least semi close. Then he quit. I asked him why and he said he just wanted to make sure he still had it, hahaha.
14) Baraman- Never knew him or heard of him. He randomly showed up and was playing for a bit (7 years ago?) and I thought he was a smurf. We parded and he dualed 6/8 one game, I died and then he beat 2 pretty good players 2v1 with a 6/8 dual and I was like who tf is he? I guess he is him, lol. Swift says that isn't a smurf. He was a really good, top 3, F player at one point. Swift, Sparkz and Bara.
I came into GOWEF too late. There are a lot of players who played that I was either not playing GOWEF yet or just started and was very new to seeing a lot of people play who are now often talked about. I don't have a good enough memory nor was likely allowed in a lot of those games to begin with. I would have liked to be a part of that but missed my chance.
