This Gaming Clan Took It Way Too Far... 

"He's no longer with us" They killed that dude who played animal crossing IRL

We had a member who admitted to losing his virginity, he is no longer with us.

"Dad come to my baseball game" "Sorry i gotta watch my charcter in a video game stand here for hours to guard a building on a server only we're in "

Lol what's funny is that this isn't no RP server. This is just a regular RDR2 server so there's like a 32 player limit ( maybe less) so there is literally no one else for them to troll and grief, which is what they do according to those that have encountered these dudes.

Y'know, maybe we should thank the Reaper Lords for keeping their members busy. People with this much of a desire for belonging might have ended up in an actual cult if they weren't wasting their time RPing in Red Dead.

The chatter who said “at least they’re doing this instead of being policemen” really hit home lolol

These are the types of people that make their children call them “sir”.

As some one that served in the military, this is the cringest thing iv'e ever seen. All those "Military Tactics" are bad enough and cringe enough happening in real life, so through a screen is unimagnable. This just seems like a way for people to have "Power" during lockdowns lmao

"if you die in the game, you actually have to live in real life" is one atriocs best lines, can't believe you cut it out

I remember when I started playing RDO and I applied for these guys. Joined one session with them and they explained you were only allowed to play RDO and couldn't set your profile to offline because then they would think you're avoiding them. Had to keep my mic muted the whole time because I couldn't stop laughing from embarrassment

Atrioc should really see what they do on "serious" Gmod RP servers. Its basically this, but with 12 year old admins. Having seen videos of those communities, this stuff honestly doesn't surprise me.

This is the funniest display of powertripping I've ever witnessed

I don't know what's worse: The fact the Reaper Lords exist or the fact that there are actual adults in this crew expecting to be taken seriously 😂😂😂

The training processes for the Lords is longer than the process for Cops

Petition to start "Coffee Cow Esports"

Ex Reaper Lord member here, and the clan was super hard to stay in. It’s already hard to get in, but you can barely keep up. There are meetings IRL and ingame. I was a security guard, and we could not take our eyes off the map. We would stare at the map for about 1-3 hours to watch for enemies. It’s a “good” clan, I guess. I’ve seen so many videos of them getting their ass beat by one person. It makes me laugh that I actually took it seriously. 😂

"A government like structure" "A whopping 80 people" man should go see Eve, 80 people on a side is a small to mid sized battle, and alliances run their own IT services, authentication services, welfare systems, and taxation systems.

For a much more wholesome, if less dramatic, video idea look up the Elite Dangerous Fuel Rats. There’s a really good video by The Gaming Discourse on them. It’s the antidote to this madness, basically a crew of people just doing their best to help everyone, without question. Kind of like the EMTs of their world.

This is hilarious, but also cool in a way. Also... have these guys not heard of Arma? I feel like that's the much better game for something like this.

I kinda wonder if some of those ex-military members miss the military structure and that's why that group is the way it is. Nothing to do with enjoying games and making friends, both of which you can do without all that.

We had a member who admitted has a girlfriend and has been with her instead of Guarding, he is no longer with us

This will be cool when a lot of people can be a part of it and the people understand that in the end it’s just a game. Role playing is one thing, but if being part of an online government causes stress, it immediately defeats the purpose of the game in the first place.

There was a battlefield clan, led by a 50+ y.o men. Was getting a bit extreme to the point of nazis and stuff. He took it so seriously and started recruiting kids into his clan. I thought it was just a persona, he’s the same irl. Basically everytime he gets owned, the whole clan script kiddies was ordered to ddos the server.

I remember when I was 12 and joined a GTA clan that was affiliated with the reaper lords. It was absolutely goofy.

i saw someone in chat go "You're laughing. I got rejected from the reaper lords, and your laughing."

we had a member who got laid, unfortunately, he is no longer with us.

Atrioc should do a stream where he goes undercover and applies/ tries out for reaperlords. That would be top tier content I would want to see

I played a woman in my first and only playthrough from the beginning I got dragged behind a horse and dangled over a ledge for about an hour before they killed me apparently were part of a clan I don't think this one but shit this world crazy, Yes Atrioc!

I love how they shoot them in the game just for them to have to run back and get into line 💀💀💀💀

I can never get in the mindset of people who cosplay as doing real jobs with the exact same responsibilities 😭

have fun being on a reaper lord watchlist

"Toughest clan", proceeds to get slaughtered by an extremely low level with no guns after trying to strangle him

I love Whitelight. You can never tell when he's being genuine

This sounds like the type of group who would get steamrolled by one dude that they totally underestimate

Imagine the discipline and structure offered by... a job 😳😳

As someone who had been a part of a crews from 2020-2021. This is how a lot of crews are run. They usually have their sessions at around 6-9pm everyday. Also yes, most of these people are 13 year olds. It's crazy the dedication that people give to a video game I've even had some crewmates be doxxed by other crews

When I was younger , they had these sort of clans in games like Roblox where I joined the military for the country. And being the goated gamer I was became a spec op that fought with the rest of the military against other countries. There was like thousands of people in these groups and it could be at times 100v100 wars or you could roam around the city of your nation and ‘protect’ the civilians of your nation and as a twelve year old at the time. It was pretty dope and while kinda similar to being a larp it was honestly one of the best gaming experiences I had as a kid even though it’s mostly nostalgia.

I’ll have you know I’m a reaper lord so I won’t be paying for my speeding ticket, the service I provide to people goes beyond what I receive and I refuse to pick up a burden on top of all I have.

12:02 of course the kind of Red Dead player who lazily slaps gold all over their gun and decides "This looks SO badass" is the kind of dude who joins the Reaper Larps.

7:55 Experiences are the next big thing (I believe even big A mentioned it) and RP in games has been growing a lot recently, since it isn't just playing, but am *experience*. Sure, people like watching xqc mess around in GTA rp, but there was already a very healthy amount of people doing it for the last few years, same with MMOs and so on. VR may improve this too, but at the very least, RP is something that is becoming more commonplace in online communities. I'm a bit biased as far as my knowledge goes, since I've RPd in MMOs for almost a decade at this point, but I've really seen a massive increase in RP servers in most games. Also, power tripping is big issue in a lot of these communities, especially when they have a more rigid structure like this, and it gets so bad in guilds with *hundreds* of people

The funny thing is, I feel like I've already found my own Reaper Lord community with all my Glizzy Lords in Atrioc's twitch chat. I'd die for any one of my glizzy brothers and sisters---that's a fact.

Some of the most fun in gaming I've ever had was being in a Milsim half-RP Arma 3 clan. Heavily modded for real guns/vehicles, enemies, uniforms, etc. Even though we set up our fireteams and TaskForceRadio (enables full radio functionality and proximity chat in-game through Teamspeak) and tried our best to mimic actual real combat, it was never as serious as this. We had multiple people in Zeus build us up a mission with AI enemies and we'd spend all night essentially RPing through it, including transport, organization, proper fireteams, long range radio to send for fire support, the works. It was awesome, we'd have 40-50 people in 1 server all the time. You even had to go through basic training to be in the clan. These Lord whatevers give it a bad name. It doesn't have to be this serious. Almost every person in the clan was an older military veteran and honestly they were good people. There were some rules but rarely had to be enforced since most people were there for the same thing, relatively authentic milsim. It made for some amazing moments. Being in a combined armor/infantry division in the game was so insanely fun.

It can't be.... I would recognize that voice anywhere... Pride?? I thought you had passed in the great war of the Specialists clans? I'm so happy to see you're alive. Come back to 7even Deadly, We've been waiting for you.

This is hilarious because for 3 years my dad was a reaper lord and even became the president of the club when they still played gta. If you look it up his tag was lord bowser which is my family’s last name it was super weird because he would have to play for hours in meeting talking about who knows what. he left

My guy was really acting like he was Hunter S. Thompson going in for the big story with this lmao

imagine Rockstar just shuts down online servers for a month and these dudes have to cope with having to go outside lol

Rest in peace to all the old clans I've been apart of. Feel like i never get that kind of community with games i play anymore. Not that i would ever want the crazy community shown in this video.

I joined a crew like this one time just to see what they were like. I was getting bossed around and told how to play by level 20s-100 as a level 250+ at the time.

Big A should join Glizzy Hand Anonymous to have his problem addressed

I was a part of these, not red dead, but the same kind of group in different games. For me personally, it gave me a sense of family when my real family wasn’t doing well together, and it gave me not only an escape, but an escape with order.

You should watch a video about the Rev Cave clans in RuneScape. They were such a big problem that they changed content and continue to change that same piece of content

Literally just played red dead 2 for the first time yesterday, god damn it atrioc I expected google to invade my privacy but I thought you were better than this

I was in a gaming community on Xbox called KSI at one point, and i remember I became a squad leader of 100 people. We kinda only hung out playing games and we would join COD game battles against other random people, or compete against other squads in KSI. We didnt like roleplay or anything. We were just our normal selves and mostly just played games together.

dude talkin bout how theyre taking it to seriously but he wore head to toe fucking riot merch to a riot interview at like 24

This video essay goes harder than Squidward: The Perfect Antagonist

Everything from their name to their outfits and regulations makes me think they just finished season 1 of “Sons of Anarchy” only to find that choppers are expensive and real bullets hurt

A 14 year old 100% came up with the name.. I will never knock people for rp but this is just so.. odd, especially when you consider that RDO has a limit of like 25-30 people in a session at once, so they can't possibly be "guarding" anything from anyone except themselves

Honestly its kinda adorable that they love the game so much to be rping this hard. But this is also fucking hilarious lmaoooo

I've had one encounter with the guys. I was riding past and one guy was screaming in their mic "STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!" like bro chill, I am minding my own business.

"Its a place for friends" Yeah i dont know very many people who like to punish all their friends if one messes up.

Lol would love to see a gang of people picking these guys off from a rooftop while they’re doing their little parade 😂

Joined them awhile back. The idea of a RP group in Red Dead sounded great. But after the initial introduction, there was 0 organization. Truth be told, my first assignment was to help out with a talent show. Yes, a “talent show.” After realizing that this group was nothing more than a bunch of adults telling another bunch of adults what to do, when to do it, and how to do it I left the same day. When a game starts to feel like a chore or a job, in essence, that’s where the fun is lost. The whole point of an RP, especially in a game like RD2 needs to encourage and incentivize it’s server players. There has to be a reason why you keep coming back. Otherwise, you’re gonna be spending hours watching grass with nothing to gain from it as per the Reaper Lords. There’s great RP servers out there for those who are looking for something like that. Just gotta look.

_"One must imagine the Reaper Lords as happy."_

This is like pledging a fraternity online 💀

I came across a reaper lord posse grouped together one time and seeing that video months ago and how funny they run their clan I shot a dynamite arrow and rode off to the post office 😂

10:45 Collective punsihment is a war crime prohibited in the geneva conventions...

They're so hardcore that when you get shot in the game and die they come for you IRL.

Ran into a group of like 10 players once that all had reper as the first part of their names. Don't know if it's the same group. They were occupying a ranch that I needed to grab something from. There was a guard at the front gate of the ranch. Had an hour long fight with them and had an average 3 kills for each time they killed me. Opened my posse for randoms to join so the randomly would be a distraction. It was a fun fight. These guys were flanking and stuff. They were definitely organized.

A classic Brandon "certified fingers aren't that big" X-Wing reaction. Wish I was an NPC tbh.

I think the people who do this are the same people that would be susceptible to joining a cult. So this is probably better than that. It’s also probably not worse than forming a one-sided, parasocial relationship with a streamer and tricking your brain into thinking they’re your best friend.

3:49 has the potential to be an absolutely elite meme format

Funnily enough, getting shot at that selection process is the biggest bullet dodge they had that day.

These guys for sure did 2 months of basic training and then spent the rest of their enlistment working in communications or some other desk job that sees no action. Probably spent that whole time wishing they could get deployed as they barely pass PT.

Don't forget that the guy who submitted the Reaper Lords vid got banned by Big A's mod Yeti for no reason sadge. Banned because he didn't like the vid then turns around and makes it into a vid CLASSIC edit: the chatters name was Godzhilluh. BIG A #FREEGODZHILLUH

when ninja said its just a game was a week mindset these guys took it personally

Thank you for making this and suffering for all of us because there is no way in absolute hell I can survive 26 minutes of that mess

Exclusivity isn't necessarily created through an overabundance of quality participants It's the same as a 13 year old putting a "no girls allowed" sign on his room, that doesn't mean that he HAD to make the sign bc girls were breaking down his door, you know?

Bro at least the militairy paid me

Whitelight's (creator of the video) tone in the video was cheeky for the majority part imo. It makes the original video even funnier.

I think this is different from other MMO guilds in that there's higher expectations, you don't just apply & go "Oh yeah I have uhh 100 clears of The Elder Crypt of Zhloonga" and they're like "oh yeah welcome to the clan"

Its called Roleplaying a little bit cringe, but they enjoy making friends and a community out of it.

Atrioc always makes me laugh

I’ve always wondered where people who fail out of the police academy end up

The thing is their most effective method is ddos attacks

What's funny about this is whoever requested this video for get smarter Saturdays got banned in chat lol

I was a world PvP / battlegrounds guild leader in WoW and there's nothing better than 10-20 men smashing the enemy team every time. Shotcalling was all we needed to succeed and I recommend that kind of spare time over any sort of PvE grind or arena grinding.

This reminds me so much of Military Simulation groups in Battlefield 4 and arma. Bunch of bored military dudes yelling at eachother

These have got to be the guys that took gmod darkRP super seriously

Whitelight is an amazing content creator, although this was maybe not the best of his work

gta, arma, rdr2, garrys mod. people will abuse pretend power with pixels like hilter its mad

Someone out there needs to infiltrate this group and cause as much chaos as possible

2:00 guarenteed that those "guards" are just watching netflix on a second monitor the whole time

I’m ready to watch Brandon “Atrioc Glizzy Hands” Ewing, Coffee Cow the 4th, King of Nvidia, Ruler of the lands. To react to this informational video

Atrioc talking a lot of smack for having multiple friends who have been doing GTA rp as a like garbage truck driver for years

Bro I literally Died when he said he kicked someone out for playing Animal Crossing on the side lmao 🤣

Coming from mc culture i can tell you that if They got caught rocking patches like this together irl by a serious mc, they would go home without a shirt. Probably humiliated too

Can't believe the reaper lords are more organised then the US government

Reddit mods dream clan

The average age of the clan members is apparently 30 and they named the clan "Reaper Lords". The fact that they roleplay isn't the odd thing, many people do roleplaying in many games, but these guys take themselves so seriously, and they want me to believe that they're not just basement dwellers.

'I wont tuck u in at night' absolutely broke me lol
