Anyways, farm tc from the tourneys could be a good way to get ez tc (i mean the lowest belt tourneys)

Even then an alt can notice a GM in the room and just tone down his playing style while still winning in order to maintain his appearance of a new player.

As for "beating up new players" I don't think the new players are as weak willed as you think to just up and quit. There are multiple rooms and most players realize they can just switch rooms if they are getting beat up a lot in their current room. Also from my past interactions with new players, whenever I use really good moves on them and just overpower them instead of getting depressed about it they usually flip out in joy and just talk about how cool the match was. Newer players don't know how to move their body like others yet and when they see someone skilled fight it gets them excited and they are usually ready for the challenge even if they think they will lose.

And as for farming tc off noobs..... 10tc...... 10tc...... 10tc......
I'm not even going to say anymore.

Though alts created for the sake of locking down a name are just kinda scummy. I suggest that all accounts with less than 100qi should be deleted after a year of age, that is if and only if the account is inactive at the end of the one year mark.

It causes a lot of trouble when all the names are taken up by 0-1 qi accounts. Take my account for example, I wanted to make it named Kohta, but that name was taken by an inactive account with 0 Qi. So I had to replace to "O" with a zero to use the name. Now you can cay "well you can just buy a name change", but thats not a good reason. Why should someone have to pay 100k to use a name that they should have had for free if someone didn't just lock the name down on an account thats completely unused.

There could be a way to stop this but for now it would be very hard to do. We could from the beggining of the game give the newcomer a link to our website going to a thread where you can learn how to report people.
Remember the link cannot be avoided even if clicking the esc button for menu.
Idk if this would be a good idea or not but possibly you guys are just going to ignore this idea or call it stupid and close the thread.

It's not that hard to notice when someone's an alt. It's actually fairly easy and that's without looking anything up. besides, that's not the problem. Part of the real problem is that some, dare I say; jackass, decided to go all lockdown in some of the better available usernames in toribash.the reason why it's a problem is because it's not just a few names it's more like ~100+ or so names on all linked to one ip. The other part is that alts are being used to escape bans and advert attention from the main accounts that are scamming people. You scam someone, bounce it around a few alts and it gets increasingly harder for us to track you down. The solution to this is to either: Get a new and/or better way to track purchases or restrict the amount of alts allowed on an account. If you change your ip I can still track you as long as you don't have a billion alts for me to shovel through.
