Page : <1> :


It's come to my attention that Impostors this days have found ways to completely take your identical name, and use it withought the game recognizing any difference between the original and the fake

Before it used to be:

Cadc (SA/UF/SM)
Cadc (SA/UF/SM).1

 


 


And now....:

Cadc (SA/UF/SM)
Cadc (SA/UF/SM)

 


 

Now I know I don't need to be concerned about myself since I'm a player of principals, and every one knows that I never curse, BM (without reason), disrupt games, or lose my mind.

But I am concerned with those who don't have a "solid stone" reputation
(Ex: Ice Dawg), as he tried to join SA's, impostors would ruin his shot and basically make it a never ending circle...

I have a proposition, I say we come up with a specific Code word (sort of like an ID password) that they must remember to identify themselves (but such word cannot be said outloud, only in private message)

Any suggestions? Any help? B)

One question cadc, how do u suppose we would be able to make sure that the real person says the right word and not the imposter? For example:

Jedirieb(real):[private to.....]code word is *****
jedirieb(imposter):[private to.....]code word is **@**

Do you get what I mean. An imposter could just as easily do ^ as the real one could, because many imposters read these forums.

Also, not every1 will read this thread, so when you try to prove that you r the real person, they may still be doubtful.

I dont mean to sound negative about ur idea cadc, but help improve it by pointing out potential problems. ;)

Nope the name is not the same! Scrumbody made a wonderful discovery! The imoster was using Scrmbody PF_c
The real was ScrUmbody PF_c!

Cadc has distinctive lag-shift powers. His uniqueness remains unchallenged.
