I must say, this thread and "Site down=boot" have been thoroughly entertaining and I had some good laughs between them. Thank you Creeping Death for making it so easy.

PS - The settings in a game (no matter the luck or settings) apply to everyone. If the luck is 75%, both players have to deal with the same amount of luck. So I'm unsure where this unfairness and cheating comes from. As for the dupe account, who cares. The dude only did it to get under your skin and it worked. He's not going to ruin your reputation by joining games and losing on purpose. You're ruining your reputation by making a fool of yourself on the forums. I don't think there is one person on your side. Soon enough he'll get bored with it and stop. But if you keep persisting and getting angry, you're only feeding his troll.

And why would Fizzer want to change the main selling point for membership (ability to change luck), that would mean that most everyone would just stay as a non-member. The reason it's been 75% was that it's been 75% default from the beginning of Warlight. Over time players have just lowered the luck for more advanced games. Even then, he's graciously allowed auto-games to have 16% even for non-members which is huge.

I just have to say that this whole debate over allowing duplicate names is really bizarre. Having some kind of unique identifier for individuals is a problem the general internet community solved back in the 80s. Now that doesn't have to be usernames, but whatever the unique identifier is should be how forum posts are identified. Speaking as a newbie, realizing that duplicate accounts are possible is only going to discourage new people from joining your community.

it's actually unique by email address so you don't actually have a duplicate account. You can have the same Name as anyone else but your stats, join date, and other specific parts of your profile are your own.

Fair enough, but your forum posts aren't identified by any of those things. I suppose simply adding join date or win percentage to forum posts would go a long way towards solving this problem, since those would be impossible or very hard to duplicate.

The settings in a game are the same for everyone, I do know that, but one kind of settings favours one playstyle and another kind of settings favours another playstyle. Are you sure you want to read which settings favour players of my style? I guess you aren't. I am a very boring player for anyone to watch and this is the main reason why I don't play MP games, as I 've already explained. Now as for duplicates, reddleman nailed it. I need to say nothing more than that.

interesting enough.. low luck favors a lot of players play style, mainly because of it's predictability.. high luck means you have to waste more armies then are necessarily necessary, which is highly inefficient. And I still believe your playstyle is just to complain, since you won't provide a demonstration under your ideal circumstances.
