I've decided to play in pubs without aliases
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:56:14 AM »
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.

I play with the same name for years and had no problems (but i also don't care much about stats. To have fun is more important for me).

Stats:

- [OTB] records no player stats.
- Superman has a stats page here: http://www.supermanspub.com/stats/
- ic3 had stats, but don't know if his page comes back. If yes: http://www.stats.ic3x.de/
- DcN has stats: DcN Italy 24/7 CTF, DcN Farbstube CTF
- All other: Don't know.

Thanks :p

Ic3y, are you tracking stats or not? I don't want to take chances.

Take chances on what exactly?
