Ref: http://www.unrealkillers.com/f44/balancer-aliasing-3274/
There are really good players, who alias (sometimes under absolutely ridiculous names *cough* *cough*youknowwhoyouare*Cough*). The fact that they register a new nick and come in means that they start with a base cookie count. This causes massive imbalance as the "SmartCTF" attempts to sort teams based on the cookie count for each player, which presumably makes for a well-balanced set of teams.
So what happens when these fucking people come in with some random bullshit nickname? They get placed on a team which is nominally weaker, and then we have matches where the score is 17 to 2.
Therefore, I propose a simple method for sorting out aliasing.
Let them alias.
It's assumed each player has a unique ID, right? so can't this unique ID be used to track the player in smartCTF?
Am I posting absolute nonsense here or is there something (admittedly simple) to this?
I could care less what the names are, as long as there's some semblance of normalization of teams otherwise ...shit gets frustrating real quick.
Thats all. peace.
