This thread is hilarious. I staying the fuzzy bunny out of it aside from addressing this little bit: 

 

 

These lists are fuzzy bunny and you know why? Because everybody you see here posting 24/7 or occasionally on these forums are the real top influential Hawken players in this community. Everytime you see one of these names and then play the game and see there names on the list as ally or foe, you know your in for a good show or a possible mention on the forums at a later date. You all are the top influencers of this game and don't let a damn person tell you otherwise.

 

I mean, yes, I am The Lord of the Scrubs and a total drama queen, but how much influence have I had on the game? How much have any of us had on the game?

 

Not much, obviously:

Realistically for me...

1 - omni team I think it was. Understand my knowledge of hawken outside of playing ss isn't the greatest but those guys seemed to have shaped what hawken grew into meta wise and just overall skill

2 - evolwar, that dude helped me refine my own style of play greatly early on. Great attitude, tremendous skill.

3 - etho, I believe etho is the one who organizes the Wednesday stuff. I'm sure theres others but damn, what a solid guy.

4 - crafty, the dude to start is a cutie. You gotta love him. A year or two ago now he was the reason I saw an increase in my skill as ss after he asked me to play for a team I believe. I don't remember much but a great guy.

5 - armoredklown, this dude loved salt. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. He taught me how to hunt other players and really go ham to achieve maximum tears. Haven't seen that dude in a long time so I assume he's been banned or moved on.

6-10, anyone who enjoys getting lit and playin

My list would be longer but I really don't mingle with the hawken community a whole lot so I'm sorry for my lack of general knowledge in the community of the game.

I love recognizing community contributors and influencers as much as the next guy, but opening with a BuzzFeed list probably set a counterproductive tone

It's interesting how ArmoredKlown was universally hated when around but is now mentioned as an influential character. It seems trolls serve a vital function in maintaing a community as scapegoats? By flaming everyone, he/she was in turn connecting us more.

Interesting phenomenon.

Wew. This thread only looks 90% like kudos-seeking wankery.

And for what it's worth, Amid is right. Player impact on this game is down to community events and who kicked the most ass and ran the most newbies out of the game forever. So let's do this.

 

0. Shadeness and Ashfire908, for unlocking epeen measurement

 

1. Neptacius DavotionStone
2. Clustmerl Bombmagnum
3. CraftyDewhuehue Santa
4. DarkWoodGrass Dubstepper
5. In fact, every zerker, scout, and salt player above 2300 MMR
6. Am I Date Lion?
7. USM RunaKlownRobyn
8. JSR45
9. #Hawkenscrim
10. Harmless_Kittens

 

11. Josh and Tiggs did technically play the game once

Also, to say all these are "of all time" is misleading. No offence to anyone, but Amid first turned active after Reloaded came into picture from what I remember, DrFreeze never made KDR (Pastorious did), Ashfire908 was never a dev but a consultant that helped RLD on the back-end but was never part of them, and talking about Pastorious where is he on the list?

The people on the list are only people in recent time, and not of all time. Only people on the list I would consider worthy that title is Houruck and Saturnine.


Amid's been active longer than me, over two years at this point.

I'm really tempted to make a clustermerl bombmagnum account now. Crafty will probably beat me to it.

the regular daily/semi-daily players, that play consistently and have done so from conception through today.  the unnoted people that have kept the population up, and did nothing more than stick with Hawken.

and my favorite?  anyone i drop into a game with, and is sporting alpha or beta skins,  dragon skins,  forest camo, and/or a vanguard initiative shield pilot's emblem.  and still play this game.

a melon-helmeted cat comes immediately to mind...

Houruck:

Though I recognize his importance to the western European community, I have had almost 0 interaction with him in game or personally. From what I HAVE seen, he is a true pilot, even going so far as to make a replica CRT. Respect to you sir and all from the Western European community.

Saturnine:

Easily one of the best memes in all of Hawken. "Blame Saturnine" has become synonymous with the pre steam community. His presence on the "cockpit" podcast and in early fight club events was almost as large as the Brawler he brought. Though no longer active, his legacy will endure.

 

It's good that Houruck gets his well-deserved recognition, even if in a weirdly introspective way like this. I feel like this is the beginning of a Hawken community post-mortum. 

 

Also, I'm still active.

 

Passively.

 

I was heavily inspired by "Renta Knight", back in the day. 

 

Learnt alot from his youtube channel. Some great flak scout fights.

https://www.youtube....Gameplay/videos

 

Wanted to second Rent here; he was one of the founders of #hawkenscrim and was really really integral to the Hawken community.

 

*The Sock Monkey

**The guy with the beard, lived on a boat with a super bad internet connection & PC. Was an original host on the Cockpit (can't remember his name but always gave great insight into the game)

***Actually, the entire original hosts of the Cockpit (I always rushed home from work to catch their stream of news and notes on twitch.)

 

*BuDeKai

**NotKjell

*** Toryne

 

 

AJK was also quite influential with his forum work, in my opinion.

 

Oh, and you forgot to add the most influential Hawken player of all time: FawkenAwesome. Without him there would be no Hawken right now.

 

AJK and Fawken both are deserving as well, as their influence was most certainly felt. In fact, I'd basically add most/all of the members of SK. I'm certain they would hate to be on this list and would be posting up a storm in this very thread to ensure that everyone was very aware of just how much they hated being on a list like this. So that's AJK, Beemann, Zeshi, Umbre, h0b0 etc.

 

I also figured I'd point out WolfyFTW, whose Hawken Mindgamer videos, especially Moves Like Mech Jagger, helped loads of people get a grip on the deeper aspects of the game way back when. 

 

Also important were many of the people who were part of clans like DirtNap and Dodges All Day back when those were active clans in Hawken, as they made an important impression with their participation in, and support of, the fledgling 'competitive' Hawken community.

 

There's loads of people who deserve a bit of name and shame for their affect on the direction and shape of the Hawken community, like... Bacon_Avenger, CaliberMengsk, Exeon, Eyes, ReachH, Rei, elix, Conquistador, nonsiccus, Kyrzon, Leonhardt, Akrium, Silk_SK, PureAmazing, Gookywun, JonnywithanH, ThirdEyE, Draco7891, Fantus_Longhorn, ReEvolve and loooooaddsss more. 

 

But yeah, anyway. A lot of this is all from over 3 years ago now; my memory has not improved in that time, and there're loads of people not mentioned who should be - or maybe this is needlessly introspective and we need to all take a deep breath.

To be honest I think the most influential person was Ashfire due to his contributions affecting so much of the player base and how long the effects have and continue to last for better or worse, lol.

Not really sure why you're so rustled. It's an opinion piece designed to start a conversation and give credit to the major players in the community. Which it has. Also, I'm basically still in HS so......
