Why would it sound like bullshit, the evidence is right here.

It's not evidence. This ladder just counts every playername. Considering the possibility that some players have a different name for different servers, it might as well just be 400 players max with 3 names each.
So yes, in some way, it's bullshit.

You guys want it to die or something with your negative responses?
And you can't smurf with 20 names because 9 is the limit.

Are you stupid? Direct-connect names are included in that ladder too, so in that case: "there is NO limit".

Does that ladder's technical backend log serial hashes, or anything? Can we count the unique players?
|
As far as I know it currently doesn't log the serial hashes, so every name is counted.

Stupid people are those who make multiple names on one day, probably like you Anon.

How did you know

No. 90% of players only use a single nick...sure, maybe 5% use 2-3, and the remaining 5% use 5-10, but the vast majority don't.

It's probably close to half of that in reality. When ren came out I remember there being nearly 40 000 unique names on the WOL ladder, plus GSA of course.

Ok... so 400 people have 2 or 3 different names that they use regularly?
That makes no sense at all. I can see maybe 10 or 20 people who have multiple names... but 400? That's just not practical. It would be annoying to switch between names for each server you play. It's just so completely retarded I can't even imagine people doing it.
Your theory is the one I call BS on.

I mostly agree, although I know from experience that it's easy to misspell your name if you use Resurrection, for example.
And I imagine that cheaters/hackers might try using several different names (more than just 3) to try and evade bans and detection.
Those factors can push it higher, but not all the way to 1000+ people. It probably contributes, though.
I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker. ~Voltaire
