If you're in the middle of a placement match and all of a sudden 20 games get posted under your name on the same board against the same person, all your opponent has to do is log on and take a look. He can tell 1) exactly what you have and where; 2) what you think he has and where; 3) what strategies you're planning in future turns; 4) what strategies you think he is planning or should use.

Now, therefore, this tool is useless for the purpose to which some were putting it. That's fine--we'll have to devise some other way of doing this. However, since all of us were 'outed' without warning (so to speak), if we were in the middle of a game it has now been compromised. We can't go back and remove the information which was disseminated.

Not cool.

I think that it is sort of cheating to try out things with a friend in an ongoing league match. It's 1v1 not 1v2.

I am not unsympathetic to this point of view. For instance, I was surprised that Supertitans were doling out advice freely on a hard-fought 110 turn game (Any idea on how to beat a turtler?). However, fact is there are no rules about getting help, or practicing with a sparring buddy, or getting a team together to try to reach Supertitan, or any number of other things that aren't technically 1v1. Don't take 1v1 too literally; it specifies a format, not an implied rule book.

Everyone complaining about ur replays being public I don't see the problem
Outwitters is about adapting if you are planing to run the same strategy every map you deserve the loss Tongue

This is what I mean. Always switch it up. Be unpredictable (and in my case, wildly inconsistent).

DemonWind66 and Extreme Ghost--

Intriguing comments, but I'm not sure you read the thread very carefully. You appear to think the point is: (A) We are pissed because we want to use the same strategy map after map and don't want anyone to know it. However, the points are: (1) Friendlies cannot be used for a certain purpose any longer, which was a feature that was very nice to have; and (2) if you were using it for this purpose when the update occurred, you are screwed. Well, kinda screwed.

I'm quite open to taking seriously fair critiques of this position (i.e. jchris98's comment), but this one doesn't seem relevant. No offense--I just want that to be clear for those really interested in the discussion.
