This is why I'm a fan of semi-anons, but those are problematic for other reasons.- BROseidon

No I changed my mind, this is a dumb thread to have this argument in.
How would you do a semi-anon? Like what does that mean exactly?I HATE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE GO JUMP INTO A FREEZING LAKE - Mr. Freeze

hmmm: maybe not quite on topic, and aside from the fact that game one we didn't know each other, game two was more circumstance than anything else and game three was fucking b v w and non anon, people do have types.
When I got booted from lol (i mean, shadoweh has also voted me out twice ) I asked for four ids to be revealed: people I loved in the game. I didn't have a clue who they were, and I'm shitty at id hunting anyway, I just knew I loved them. They ended up being Klick and Jal (chatzy alliance from botb) Shadoweh (my previous game's f2 buddy + chatzy alliance) and hiplop (my starting tribe in both my previous games).
But...is that dangerous to playing. In psv the specs said 'you can't always go to the end with people you love', but how much does that impact how you play? How much does knowing you have a type? We're a tight community in some ways and I wonder if the non anon line isn't more blurred than we'd sometimes like to think: I mean we joke about 'xof hunting', but people are always going to make ID guesses. Some people for sure use it as a strategy.
I guess I'd like wider thoughts on Id hunting, and tips on how to obscure it, especially in the face of obvious things, like timezones or whatever.
tldr: I click with similar people, whether I know them or not, and anon games are slightly less anon than purists would like to think. Also I don't know if I like Bro's hybrid idea.- BROseidon

Yeah anonymity is often something of a pretense.
It was really dumb being on the LoL jury and having to pretend that me/Matt/Reck/OGML didn't all know who each other were because we'd all had each other ID'd from super, super fucking early (I hadn't even been on a tribe with OGML when I ID'd him because of ~that really great challenge that everyone loved~)- Shadoweh

Pretense matters though. For example: Pikachu's vote for Delphox might have been altered if he knew Delphox was not in fact xofelf as he believed, but that nice guy Zoroark!I HATE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE GO JUMP INTO A FREEZING LAKE - Mr. Freeze

Similarly, my vote may have been altered had I also known who Delphox was.In post 109, Shadoweh wrote:Pretense matters though. For example: Pikachu's vote for Delphox might have been altered if he knew Delphox was not in fact xofelf as he believed, but that nice guy Zoroark!
