So you'll just have to say your name at the start of the game... Anyway, it'll kill the social way of this game.

You can still use chat, just without under a standard profile name. Anyone who disagrees with this idea is cheating and should be banned.

*grammar

would it show your level and pts?

Even if it would, this idea could only encourage stabbing. You can stab your trucemates and flags anytime cuz there wouldnt be any way to retaliate.

Whats even worse, it would also encourage cheating/pga ing through instant messaging software (like skype), cuz there you could coordinate your efforts, and it d be hard to debunk you for a normal player.

I assume admins could still see names and stuff, but then they couldnt play when logged in as admins.

would be a fun option. After all its not PGA it is reading the board right? But that is where level is kinda important. IE, You have an 8 on a lvl 8 and dont kill him but move away.

hmmm. Keep thinking out of the box!!!

if ur cheating you can just tell ur friend ur color on IM dude

I usually play Red/Purp/Blue

most of the cheaters already use skype/instnat messaging anyway. It could show your points/trophies/level after you have flagged out. Maybe where your profile pic is could appear as a grayed image to show you are out as well as your precious stats.

The point is to mitigate cheating. Its more for instances where you see a familiar player and you choose to maybe help them in some way (ie: 'favors').
