Basically if you've played a lot with or really gotten to know another player, it becomes possible to pick them out of the crowd of strangers in a game by how they talk, play, etc. Some players look for these tells and use that information to influence how they treat a player they think they've identified. It's not always intentional, but it's always against the spirit of an anonymous game. Having a lot of new players really helps to muddy the waters when it comes to getting a read. Cuts down on the meta bs, I'm hoping.

No, but I think it's a cool idea and would be so down for mentoring someone.

Or just hanging with a super cool person.

Tragically, some of us are just too distinctive for this to ever stop (DV, for instance- even people who stink at IDs tend to get him :P ). But more newbies certainly means less of it.

I've allied with DV in 100% of the games I've played, yet I'm unable to ID him. That was even an issue this game when we were both spectating. Though for some reason the only people I've ever been able to ID with confidence were TS and Blastoide, neither of which appear to be playing anymore, so I don't really bother trying anymore.
Never be sorry for your little time.

It's not when you get there, it's always the climb.

I identified about 4 people in the first anon game I played in, so I'm just getting progressively worse. :P

We were totally the best of friends! That's how it works right, you have a all encompassing need to vote the other player out?

What we really need is more Australian newbies! Someone once told me after a game that once they figured out I was Australian and not Drench, my identity was obvious. :P

I don't think we've really played together since Mass Effect though, and even xofelf got me wrong there. ;)

kdowns I hope you still read this.

Why did you want to get rid of me? I just read that. Was it flavor reason, like mine was, or just because I wanted you gone from the get go?

Yeah, I called you very early on in GoT, and when Drench outed herself by saying something really Drenchy before she left, I was 95% sure it was you.

Beast, I think it was because I saw you as the most active Villian at the beginning when we were just Marvel.

Unfortunately that shapeshift wore off and it was discovered alas that I am not her. :P

But if you as me isn't as awesome as you as you, then is me as you as awesome as you as you or as awesome as you as me, and if so, how much awesome would I have to be to be as awesome as you as you as me as you?

Apparently he's counting Med Evacs as well since TECHNICALLY the mod kills you, not the players.

Wait, the winner wasn't on the same tribes pre-merge with almost everyone who came after him? That's rather impressive.
