Hello guys. I've been gone awhile and have definitely missed it as much as I thought I would. A couple of months ago, I moved my cell service from Sprint to ATT so I could get an iPhone. I absolutely love it and have dabbled a bit with BoD on it. The gameplay is exceptional. Of course, there is a learning curve for someone used to the 5-way, but I found that I could easily reproduce many of the times that I earned with my Treo. In many cases, I find it advantageous to have two thumbs controlling the action.

That said, I've noticed that  LouisIPhone is really climbing the ranks. It seemed strange that a new player could get to #25 in Standard so quickly, so I wondered if this could be the 2439 that is ranked #18 in Standard. Casey's H2H comparison shows that the times are very similar

http://www.songerfamily.com/compare_bod.php?ID1=2439& ID2=13994& Action=chart& SortIndex=0 .

LouisIphone, is this the case? That you were away from the game and when you came back with an iPhone, you created a new acct?

If so, I will restate the opinion that I expressed when PMD created an iPMD acct. I can understand that you may not have remembered your username or perhaps you wanted to have a separate acct just for fun, but this approach hurts any player with a lower ranking on any level and, if allowed, will damage the ranking system in this game. As I stated above, it is easy to reproduce times using different devices. It would be very easy for Mike to create a MikeTreo650, MikeTreo755, MikeiPhone, etc. and hold gold, silver and bronze on many levels.

The LouisiPhone acct directly impacts me on several levels. For example, LouisiPhone and Louis hold the 10th and 14th spots in Touch Bricks, while I am 19. If you beat me on a level, you deserve more points, but when the same person beats me on 2 different devices, it unfairly punishes me.

If it is true that these accts are the same person, my recommendation is that Louis asks Sz to merge the two accts and keep the fastest time in each level.

I would appreciate other's views on this topic.

Mr.pickle.
I agree, eventually people would start doing this on purpose to take over the entire top 10 of a level, ect... make one account look better than it is. But if someone wanted to do this to make one account look very good, theres really not much we can do to stop them

I agree - it's like saying that Usain Bolt can hold a gold, silver and bronze... a real pain in the ass for those guys in medal contention just behind him.

unfortunately, there's nothing in BoD for Sz to try and enforce against this kind of multiple - account thing.... unless there is a "That email is already registered" option in the registration of a new name, as well as a "that used ID is already taken"??? - would make it less obvious.

Do we know if Louis reads the forum? - perhaps a personal contact through his account is in order. Sz is more than happy to amalgamate accounts when asked... he's done it plenty times in the past.

"In many cases, I find it advantageous to have two thumbs controlling the action."

That's what I've been using for years. Lets me manipulate buttons a bit faster for those crazy tricks I think.
Mr.pickle.
I also use 2 thumbs,lol

Two thumbs for me too

Brian - don't you think i'd be a bit more original than that

- Multiple accounts - yes I agree. That's very lame. Many of us could claim the top 10 spots on a number of levels that we've mastered. How fair (and how fun) is that?

  • two thumbs for me.

  • iPhone - Brian, do you feel that you could be competitive and get numerous medals with the iPhone?

    My contract is almost up on my Samsung i760 (can't believe it's been 2 years already) and I may have played a combined 4 hours in all of 2009. For those of you that wonder if I am gonna post some mega post after a long absence, let me dispel that notion at once. No play for Vega for quite some time.

    but as I've ALWAYS said, BoD runs through my veins.

    love you all

    Welcome back, Louis. Thanks for understanding. Hopefully Sz can merge your accounts so you can keep your history (and faster runs).

    Good idea about sending a PM. Why didn't I think of that?

    Congrats on your first medal with your iPhone.
