We're twins, didn't you know?

I can't spell covers for the same reason I can't spell many other thing...I'm an idiot!

Spelling mistake aside, that's exactly what I meant.

No, I think he means the LLM rules should be everyone plays with fake names, therefore everyone could player name as it would be irrelevant.

Still, lots of people would not notice that the player named is a fake player and would thus name some non-fake player instead. Floodgate scenario.

BoroPhil

Are people deliberately not understanding me

If we all use fake names, then it wouldn't matter if we used real names as they wouldn't be in any of our games as we would all have different names.

I take you back to my point 1, Phil:

Whether we are deluding ourselves is up for debate, but we try to play realistically.

BoroPhil

I'm not trying to argue the point, I'm just trying to clarify what the original poster meant

BoroPhil

at least I hope it's what he meant cos this is bloody hard work.

Just get up to 2025 when even "Matatarsal Boy" has retired,simple.

You do not understand, obviously. LLM is about having fun and about enjoying the game playing it in a very realistic way. It's not about self-restricting yourself. If you want to restrict yourself, join Opus Dei.

If a LLaMa wants to use the fake options, fine. If he enjoys the game more with real players because it's more fun to see if horse-tooth becomes a rival manager in 30 years, then do that.
