Every alt corrupts the ladder

I already explained this several times. It doesn’t seem to be reaching the gamer minds so here it goes again:

number of accounts > unique players

If you bloat the distribution with repeat accounts but label things by % players, you are imparting a false SR mapping. No person should be allowed to gain, lose, bank, trade, earn, dispose of duplicate amounts of SR without some zero-sum recalibration to the % players.

New players have a small disruption effect but that’s the cost of doing business. Alts impart ~O(n2) levels of disruption and create all kinds of systems effects we can maybe try to discuss next semester.

Until then please accept the knowledge.
And build a boat for the coming flood.
