Faction Wars-Everyone with the same name

[MonkeyPuppy2012]

Was interesting to see multiple factions with 22 different characters with the name Alex
or multiples with different variations of the name Kurt McGurt, or 1/2 the crew with the name old navy.

Heard about one where everyone was Mickey Mouse... or Pluto

Was funny.. very funny... and trust me.. the confusion was frustrating but I can see where it was fun,
exciting, and quite creative.

It was clever.

But should it be allowed by GREE?

[NakedCherryPie]

All is fair in love and war, and we love you.

[Poopenshire]

I have no idea of what you speak.


Thanks


Alex

[MonkeyPuppy2012]

I know you do.... not saying I disagree with it. Was an great strategy, and I promise you it was effective

Just wondering if it was ethical

[MonkeyPuppy2012]

And 14 Alex's was really mind boggling!!

[NakedCherryPie]

New names are fun. GREE should charge in game cash to change our names ourselves.

[Corsair]

Ethical? Is it ethical to duck when someone is shooting at you?

[negotiator]

Loved the name NakedCherryPie but didn't enjoy the beating put on my base but at least it made me smile.

Sun Tzu has said, "All war is deceit."

[Ryans67]

To be honest, they could of had any name they wanted, and you'd still have a tough time hitting "Alex". If I remember correctly...

[ucantwin1]

Our faction got pummeled by factions all having the same names, "nakedCherryPies" and "pacifist spoons". Confusing to say the least.

[LeBarticus]

I don't think it should have been allowed, personally. There's no point in hiding...

Ethical? It's a war game.

Should standard war tactics of sowing confusion amongst the enemy be allowed in a war game?

"Where you are strong, let the enemy believe your are weak; where you are weak let the enemy believe your are strong."

My biggest surprise is that so few employed it. I think maybe you think it should not be allowed because it worked and because you were not forward thinking enough to employ it yourself?

Good day.

Between the KrakenPie's and NakedAlex's I can't keep things straight.

It's great strategy, that what this MW is all about,lol. Any faction can do it. I do enjoyed them have the same name as i don't feel guilty hitting someone i don't know, lol,
I did received some messages in my wall, saying, oi, it's me Mr XXX......you are killing all my units, lol. well, it's not my 'fault', isn't it, lol

cheers:D

[BigBassTurd]

There are a lot of bi-gender names out there so maybe they pop up more. Ever seen the Saturday Night Live skit with Pat. The names like Pat, Alex, Jaime, Tracy, Jo/Joe, Sam a boy named Sue you get the idea. Just tossing something out there folks.??.

[Sillybeans]

Quite like my name so its my IGN aswell :D

[Mudphud]

Naked Cherry Pies, you just took it to a whole new level. After a few initial curse words, I am so happy when I see strategy work so well. Great work!

[TEG]

Help!, I am so confused!:

Only 100? You can't have been one of our main targets then. :) What was your IGN and faction?

[Ferr]

Actually, we thought doing the same thing. We decided not to adopt this old russion tactics. In communistic mind games this has alway been on top of their tactical manoeuvres. Whats your name? My name is ivan, and your nr? I have no number sir. Of course brilliant scheme.
We Emperors wont do this. We would like you to know who beat you and we dont mind you knowing who you beat us. Identity is one of the few thing we have left in this game. Sacrificing this for the good of the country is not worthwhile such is my belief but for sure others will think of it differently. Btw, we have found out a perfect way to identify you all in a blink of an eye. The advantage is, we calculated, less than 1 minute per one hour battle if a faction has all the same name with identical nrs of allies. My identity is worth more than that ;)

It saved my arse from being tanned by REG lol.

Ahhhh sour gr@pes you're just mad because you didn't think of it first.

And in reply to another poster....

Ethical? Well if war were ethical then some bleeding heart would probably complain that wearing Camouflage was an unfair tactic.

In terms of the deployment, I think Gree support was overwhelmed with requests. Therefore it would probably be wise to just make this a self serve feature in your profile.

[Cousins]

Changing you name???

Don't be surprised if Gree start charging gold

[andypandy2]

In addition to name changes, I think my faction will all adopt the girl with the pink head band avatar!

[Tate]

Baraka, it worked for a while, but certainly not the entire battle. As for name changes, there is always a way to figure out who is who if you take the time.

[NakedCherryPie]

The real fun is swapping names and ally counts in the middle of the event...

[ucantwin1]

I seem to remember a player actually switching avatars over and over in the middle of battle to try and avoid being hit! It was pretty desperate and pathetic of him.

[ucantwin1]

@ somedude, exactly! So this guy was just popping up in the same spot every time!
