How about the Poker Palookas
from http://www.poker1.com/mcu/pokerdictionary/mculib_dictionary_info.asp
palooka:
(n) Poor player. In general (nonpoker) usage, this term has a wider but similar application, referring to an athlete (often a boxer) of limited capabilities, or, even more generally, any inept person.

I am so tempted to say Player, as in PLAYAH, and post a pimpnamegenerator as well as other assorted items, but I won't.

Tough one. I dunno, Cardsharks? Something poker related, obviously.

Or Ghost related.

Or both.

Errr...I asked the original question and honestly was asking if there was a generic slang term for those who are ARGN members or ARG players in general that is commonly used. Sorry if it conveyed the impression that it was a tag for an "us vs them" mentality.

If we do the "nickname" thing, we should have some sort of indication that we come from here... kind of like how I found this site during OurColony (ARGonologists? ARGologists? Something like that)

Here's some poker related names.

ARGrinders (Grinder- A player who only aims to win a little money each day.)

ARGutshots (Gutshot- An inside straight draw.)

ARGrifters (Grifter- Cheater, a cheat.)

and some 'Gun' related terms

ARGladius
ARGunners
ARGunslingers

lastly, some ARG starting words... not game related.

Argonauts- (A person who is engaged in a dangerous but rewarding quest; an adventurer.) <---Personal Fave, seems to have the general feel of the game.

Argotics- (Those knowledgable of a secret language or conventional slang peculiar to vagabonds) <--- Also kind of cool.
