And W-L under various screen names aren't additive.
I never have understood why anyone would use "various screen names" (and I assume various email addresses ) unless were trying to cheat
don't understand, or don't want to understand? its been explained to you too many times for me to believe its just the former.
1) when there were 8 worlds and folks wanted more than 8 teams, or now with 10 worlds if folks want more than 10 teams, they *have* to do it by a 2nd ID - no ifs, ands, or buts. theonly is a good example of this, he had 15 teams.
2) when there was only one 2/day world and folks wanted more than 1 2/day teams, they *had* to do it by having multiple IDs in that world. there was no other option. same holds today if you want more than 3 2/day teams.
3) when you have a d3 team you love but still want to move up, you might move up and then re-take your old team on a new ID.
#2 (when only tark existed as 2/day) and #3 are why I had several very publicly known IDs in tark at the same time. i had tried 1/day and couldn't stand the pace. this is such a simple thing to understand, i really don't get the reluctance on your part to acknowledge there are valid reasons to create or to have created multiple IDs.
what makes your position even stupider is that when i started, there was no advantage, if you had wanted to cheat, to having multiple IDs in a world unless they should have been competitive in recruiting (so a d3 team in TX and d1 team in TX could not be abused - however, two d2 teams in texas could be, if you chose to use both to battle other folks - which is pretty obvious when your IDs are "gillispie" and "gillispie1" or similar). so, it wasn't frowned upon and in those days, there were no idiots like yourself trying to paint multiple ID folks as cheaters, so it was very open, and there was no reason *not* to pick up a 2nd id, if you had even the slightest desire to have a 2nd team in the same world, for whatever reason. there was no FSS or potential to discover.
