smurfing

[Gota]

We need to try and stop people from smurfing and renaming accounts all the time..

Player '[1SA]BasiC' (GEOINFO:Country: Israel (IL) , ISP:WIP) has smurfs ['Zissler', '[1SA]BasiC']
Player '[SIN]BasiC' (GEOINFO:Country: Israel (IL) , ISP:WIP) has smurfs ['[SIN]BasiC', 'Nezereth', 'CopyCat', 'MultiKoll']
Player 'BasiC' (GEOINFO:Country: Korea, Republic of (KR) , ISP:WIP) has smurfs ['BasiC', '[1SA]BasiC', '[1SA]Stoompeh']

smurfing 1 bar accounts
- ip ban
- rank limit
rename
- ip ban


Not all perfect measures, but can help. Also MTR.

If satirik could program TASClient so there was a list of the clans you are in, and you just select one and that tag appears in your name.. There would be much less need to smurf

Some people thing smurfing is a good thing..including some of the moderators and different developers.
That is why its not against the rules...
moderators and some devs have their own tools to see quickly who is a smurf so they dont mind peole smurfing as much cause they can find out who they are...
the ones getting hurt are players...
There is a conflict of interests here...

Smurfing never hurt me

what's a smurf?

So you dont mind when good players smurf and fuck up a game's balance?Both manually balanced games and automatic balance.

[SirMaverick]

Some use a second account when they try out SD lobby.

[Jazcash]

Cool another smurf topic.

Yep I dont really care. If I play casual games with random lowranks, it isnt so balanced or serious game in any case.

Crap i guess that makes me a smurf. Though i only have the second account because i could not for the life of me figure out how to change my username. Any one know how to change usernames in teh lobby and maintain rank?

So next time when u want to play a 1v1 and i come as a low rank smurf than beat you(cause your not expecting a good player) you will be fine with it?
Or when i smurf and dgun you in a team game and disconnect?

You might have a slight metagame advantage on me if you play with a smurf vs me, but its not gonna affect my play that much. So yes I dont care

If I get dgunned (by ally apparently), I dont really care if I was dgunned by a smurf or someone I know :D
