CJ54,

I don't think you saw my reply in your B4B winners list post. You stated that " "Dark Lords Of The Sith" is 708th. You guys are "Dark Lords of the Sith" in 3228. Faction names are one of a kind, but they are case sensitive (i.e. capitalization can be different)." I copied and pasted the top 6000 factions into Excel and sorted by name. This is the list of duplicates that I found:

Place Faction Name
2174 101st Airborne Division
3546 101st Airborne Division
3768 101st Airborne Division

2330 Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

I'm sure that these factions were set up before you guys put code in place to disallow duplicate names and that a lot of the I didn't get my rewards were caused by this. Is there a way that this can be fixed so that we don't have problems going forward?

I am a member of United States Marine Corp our invite code is 566036501 and we still would like to know where we placed.

Good job! This is going to raise ALOT of questions. And will bump my faction up at least two from 102 and we should get the top 100 unit as well. Could this be why the system was having such a problem?

That is interesting. Great job man! This will be nice to see sorted out.

Also great to see CJ taking an interest in it.

I've been down in the trenches with the crew, mainly. We have a lot of tickets right now.

So the engineers looked into this, and we actually have a bug in the code that allowed some duplicate guild names (which wasn't intended, they're supposed to be unique). Those are actually different factions with different internal IDs, this has been verified.

Can you tell me where we finished. My guys keep asking.

before this problem fixed, may you please post up the faction id beside the name too?

Yes, this is so commendable of you to go to the time to gather this data ? I wondered about dup. names at the battle when one faction was asleep at the wheel? Thank you CJ for reviewing this possible lapse.

Ok that is what I thought happened so what do we need to do to :
1. Know where we placed in Brazil
2. Get this corrected so we don't continue to have factions with duplicate names?

I'm sure a lot of tickets have been placed because people scrolled down the list and saw their factions name at a higher rank than the prizes they received even if they had the same exact spelling/capitalization.

How can we find out where we finished in Brazil?

How can we find out where we finished in Brazil?Go to THIS (http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?44897-World-Domination-Complete-Winners-List) link and press CTRL + F. That will bring up a word/phrase finder. Enter your faction name and it will bring you to where your name is. If it doesn't, you didn't make top 10,000.

Thanks Dudebot. The trouble with that is my faction's name "United States Marine Corp" shows up in 8 different places. CJ has confirmed that those are different factions but we still would like to know where we placed and what can be done to prevent this from happening in the future. I listed all of the duplicate faction names in the top 6000.

I would think that it would be pretty easy to pull the invite codes so we could search by a unique identifier. Names are not unique.
