Jesusislord6 (real name Joe) was a member of the Wilderness Guardians from 2004. He eventually was promoted to the clan's Council, and was most notably known for his videos of the clan's wars, in particular the famous video for WG vs Dead on Arrival.

History

Early Days

Joe learned of WG in late 2004 through a forum signature on the Rune Village fansite. He applied to the clan and was accepted after only a day or two of waiting on or around 9 December 2004. At the time he was level 67 combat and had previously run a successful clan in the game Age of Empires, though his experience with RuneScape clans was limited. He was particularly interested in WG's policy of ARPKing. Jo also mentioned that at the time he was aged 35 in real life, with a PhD in medicine, and was married with two children.[1] As his name suggests, he was a devout Christian.[2]

Joe was one of several members who left WG to join The Revolution in early 2005, posting his resignation on 3 January.[3]. Even so, he seemingly had a desire to remain active in WG until the situation between the clans worsened.[4] He returned to WG at some point in early to mid 2005, though the exact date is unknown.

Clan Videos

Joe produced two videos of WG wars during June and July 2005. He recorded footage using Easy Screen Recorder and edited the videos using Windows Movie Maker.

WG vs The Unbreakables

Joe attended WG's war against The Unbreakables on 5 June 2005. He was part of His Lordship's group, and recorded his perspective of the fight from just prior to the group's charge into Annakarl to the end of the war. The footage which was over 22 minutes long remained largely untouched aside from several background music tracks, and uploaded in its entirety to the WG website. Despite the historical significance of the war (the victory gained WG widespread recognition and respect) and the video being Joe's first known WG production, the music used has resulted in the video being unable to be shared on YouTube, as copyright claims result in it being blocked worldwide.

WG vs Dead on Arrival

See also: WG vs Dead on Arrival

Joe attended and recorded WG's war against Dead on Arrival on 9 July 2005. The war held significance for several reasons: it was WG's first P2P war as well as being the first war in RuneScape to make use of the then-newly-released Ancient Magicks spellbook. The video documents WG marching from Juliet's House to the Monastery and up to the Wilderness, before following the melee/mage group as they divided and charged DoA at Annakarl. Over 3,500 damage was hit within the first 30 seconds as WG's mages caught most of DoA in a single square with ice burst and barrage. Joe managed to record a further five minutes of the fight before being killed, and before the war was interrupted by Followers of Malkav.

The ~8-minute video was released and immediately gained critical acclaim within the wider clan community. Fansites such as Zybez would continuously vote it as the most enjoyable clan video to watch in community polls, and the video's first music track (We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister) became commonly associated with WG. Despite having been reuploaded multiple times over the course of history, the video has accumulated thousands of views and is Joe's - and possibly WG's - most well-known clan production.

Council and Later Career

In July 2005, two council members - Wildflame110 and Anincent stepped down from their positions on the clan Council, and Joe and Jezzamon were elected as replacements, beginning Joe's career as a staff member. The following month, Joe recieved the Member of the Month award for August 2005.

Details about Joe's resignation from WG are unknown, though "JesusisLord6" appears on a list of names presumed to be members of RuneScape Dinasty in 2006, suggesting that Joe left WG to join RSD sometime during that year.[5]
