This is worth saying out loud since I've been a regular to this game for years, and only in the first year did I ever pub with a consistent name.
I've been using aliases because:
- I'm a perfectionist, so any ranking system that can't be overwritten will weigh down on my enjoyment
- I don't like to be subjected to flaming regarding my gameplay (I wish it didn't matter to others how I played)
- My accuracy and gameplay in general are highly inconsistent. After a few high's, some people are undoubtedly going to be annoyed by me, and will definitely take advantage of my low's to talk crap
- I don't want to find out whether I'm better than someone at shooting or not, so I wanted to avoid that and all similar subjects. This is because I rarely pub to win, I mainly pub to do stunts and kill annoying people
I'm letting go of aliases because:
- It sometimes hinders me from saying relevant stuff
- I think that people like knowing who they're playing against
- I finally believe that the positives outweigh the negatives
I'd like to know what pubs record stats so that I could avoid those.
Oh and I'm not going to reply to any guesses as to what names I've used, so don't bother.
