[quote]For the sake of the real noobs everywhere, give them a chance, give them some tips, give them support. give them your main.[/quote]Most noobs do eventually get support if they hang tough and stick around. Most new players just have to decalre as such. It's just so hard to cut anybody any slack when you don't know if they are a smurf or not. but I know several hosts including me that will welcome one or two of them in 5v5's. Key is a willingness to learn, ability to ta

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="38" id="2534721"]Did you have to necro every thread[/quote]I have been approached 3 times in as many days by new players that have been lurking and done searches for "Smurfs" threads after reading my post, (and others I presume). I thought that if they are going through them, others might also, so I inserted a "cross post alert". That "necroing" or "spam bumping" as you may refer to it, will die out in a matter of hours, but it will nonetheless be there

Reply to In Response to Howdidudothat's Little Black List in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote]The Blacklist is a stupid idea anyway, what's to say anyone can't threaten to put someone on it. With all the smurfs out there, how do you know if you're playing with one of the Blacklist "moderators" or their friends or not. So potentially anyone can say "do this or you're going on the blacklist". So why have it? The Sins Community is small, why ostracize people when you can just prove you're better than them by challenging them to a game? If you don't like someone, tell your friends

Reply to looking for organized online play in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

[quote]Pugs are popular because they are the opposite of team stacking--as long as both captains are about evenly matched and know who most of the people are the teams are unlikely to get stacked. In contrast, playing Tops vs. Bottoms (TvB) could result in stacked teams and even teams with nasty smurfs on them.[/quote]Cross post alert! Go here to contribute to the Smurf Directory .

[quote who="Cykur" reply="11" id="2285604"] Aside from being a great guy, he is a truly legendary Sins player and the epitome of anti-smurfing but not necessarily part of the anti-smurf movement. Actually, the scary thing with JJ is that he has 1000 on his main AND he smurfs too.[/quote]Cross post alert! Go here to contribute to the Smurf Directory .

Reply to Suggestion: remove the option to create multiple players in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote]Okay, so, here's the deal...be it people who fake other people, people who stack teams by hiding their true identity or the fact that there is no way in hell to be sure of who is who, smurfs/multiple nicknames are a huge problem in this community. [/quote][quote]Plus, this will both benefit new players who don't want to be stomped by clan-smurfs who fake to be newbies and veteran players who want to know who is who in order to balance teams in pug games. So please guys, think about it?

Reply to Does a "fear" of experienced (or pro) players keep you from playing Sins online? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]As for Raknor's discussion on smurfing, this happens in every single online RTS. It's just worse in Sins; because it doesn't have an automatch ladder system, people have 100% control over the oppenent's they play. Few people will willingly play someone who is 150-15, so those players are forced to smurf to find games...then run over casual players, who often get disgusted and leave online play for good. It's an unfortunate little death spiral, and there's no solution. I refuse to d
