HHH might be playing the 1v1 ladder as a small army of alts.

#1 Burning River
Time Period: 9-28 to 10-5
https://www.warlight.net/LadderGames?ID=0&LadderTeamID=5678
Record: 10-0
Miscellaneous: Smoother ladder run for Burning River than it was for Pamišęs Laumžirgis.

#2 Pamišęs Laumžirgis
https://www.warlight.net/LadderTeam?LadderTeamID=10996
Time Period: 9-26 to 9-29
Record: 0-6
Miscellaneous: He had four undecided games (advantages in 1-3 of them) but got booted, despite being active on the forum and playing a bunch of coin games. He let himself get booted so he could start a new ladder run with another account. He expected to lose at least one of those close games. A fresh ladder run would be better.

#3 HHH
https://www.warlight.net/LadderGames?ID=0&LadderTeamID=240
Time Period: 8-15 to 9-9
Record: 16-4 (rating of 1943)
Miscellaneous: He completed the 20 games to be rated but wasn't satisfied. Then he started playing with another account.

#? Quicksand
https://www.warlight.net/LadderGames?ID=0&LadderTeamID=8941
Time Period: 5-4 to 6-3
Record: 11-6
Miscellaneous: The break in March (losses pile up) and restarting in May appears like a possible attempt to game the system by having losses expire to make the more recent games become a more successful ladder run.

#? Mei Lanfang
https://www.warlight.net/LadderGames?ID=0&LadderTeamID=9303
Time Period: 4-14 to 5-16
Record: 12-1
Miscellaneous: The flag says Germany, but I suspect HHH is using this account to play the 3v3 ladder by himself. He wanted to have a perfect record? So he quit the 1v1 ladder? Is this the next HHH account to rejoin the 1v1 ladder?

------------------

What about these two? IP blocking? Or just friends of HHH, as the clan is called?

Are there others we don't know about?

well all i know is that mei lanfang as well as the other 2 accounts below are friends and not hhh himself

Sounds much like gui strategy to me. Just different alts of a different player.

More treads about me!

You are correct, given the assumption that the alts in question are truly mine.

According to group think, they are mine. In reality, they are not. I don't like the 1v1 ladder enough to use multiple alts on it at the same time.

But I don't mind being credited for the great accomplishments of others. It also helps to confuse opponents: if you think I am A, B, C and Qi, (but I am in fact only Qi), then you will be utterly confused as to how I really play. The styles of A, B, and C (1-3 other players) make you unsure of my style. If much of WL is playing the player (guessing/predicting), how can you guess/predict my moves if the data you have available to you is incorrect, but you believe it to be true?

One day I played against an alt that reached 1st on the 1v1 ladder that was assumed to be me. We joked in PM about this situation. I didn't mind the alt. He helped make my play less predictable. And he didn't mind me. If everyone thought he was me, then he is still unknown and his play is more unpredictable as well.

Btw these are mine too, dear Qi: https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=8027745438, https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=8734306553, https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=6937373349 I know, you care

...and people say I have a lot of alts! God damn!

You played seasonal with multiple alts at the same time.

When? I've joined maybe four or five seasonals, and had time to finish none. The closest I ever came to completing all 20 games in a seasonal was with Voodoo. I don't remember ever having joined with two accounts.

I miss Falco.

And pick in our ladder game faster, i am so exciting to see your rating after my loss

mei lanfang is not hhh

Why bother having so many accounts? Just play ladders with one account like you're suppose to and nobody will accuse people of cheating.

I wish all the alts of Gnuffone, HHH, myhandisonfire, me and whoever else it is that has a shitload of alts were tagged to the player's main account. You would all be surprised to see how wrong your group think has been.

Don't care.

New bloody ladder, old bloody tricks.

Please respect my lover.
