My GTS Story (Need opinion/argument)

But at the same time, how many people are asking to combine over 17m worth of GT that they worked for?

Which will just leave more frustrating work for the admins to deal with. Also, while you have been active and servicing the community greatly, you were still being disobedient back when, especially on a rule that was and is still taken serious.

Anyhow, these stat combinations should happen eventually, but there's more to worry about for the site than to take care of fulfilling every member's combination request.

Completely true, thread should be more about this than me. The real issue is dealing with what you said rather my stuff. I've been trying to explain that I had an exceptional case but no matter what I said, this could lead to people requesting more and more things about stats. I also heard that they're planning to do something about this in the future, but I'm not aware of what exactly. This would change the issue from "being right or wrong" to "what should be done about requests in general". I can't really go far about this, because it's just a matter of how admins want things to be organized and it's probably not top priority atm.

Sprite got the admins to switch everything from his ZZ_Sprite to Sprite- account. Not exactly sure what the reason was, but there wasn't much of the 'you did it for him, so why not me?!?!?' argument. I mean I'm sure there are a lot of people that forgot about that, which is why it isn't brought up, but just throwing that out there. I think he should get is GTS combined.

[Hakulyte]

It's not just about me getting stats combined at this point, it's also about how rules should be applied. A lot of random things happened, but it would be nice to know what to expect from now on.

[TheSaxRunner05]

Personally I'd let you combine them, imo.

[Pseudo Enigma]

honestly if they would've done it right at the moment before it became such a controversial and well known debate, it wouldn't have ever been a thing of "well you did it for him, why not me" since hardly anyone would've known.

Honestly I doubt this would ever happen. Typically people who use alt accounts don't actually get lots of stats worth asking to be combined with their main account. At this point people shouldn't even be making alt accounts, considering that they don't serve any significant purpose. Additionally, Hakulyte is the only person I can honestly see significantly benefiting from getting this GTS combined.

Why Hakulyte's situation is different is because Etylukah wasn't serving as an alternate account, but in fact his forced main one. Since the admins at the time blacklisted Hakulyte, but allowed him to continue play as Etylukah, it was the only way he could even play FFR. Then after a couple of years Hakulyte was taken off the blacklist, so now he was essentially stuck with two main accounts.

I feel the admins handled this case incorrectly in the past, and should have either banned Etylukah on sight, or just wiped his scores on Hakulyte, and let him continue to play on it after the apology. I feel this error of judgement, along with all of the effort put into getting this GTS, should be enough reason to warrant combining the two.

Plus, it was ALREADY done, and should have been left alone.

Yeah and that's why I'm asking people instead of trying to get favors or something.

Totally agreed... I also don't think people realize how much 17 billion points is, that's almost three times *MY* grandtotal.

My stats were combined when I made this Rebirth account. I say this is ok to combine

Do you think it is possible to get "Rebirth" as your name as well?
Why is it Rebirth0? ugh

But ya, combine the stats, end story~

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

I didn't read anything other than your op

But the fact is you cheated and so that new account wasn't forced by anyone other than yourself saying anything otherwise is really ****ing dumb.

I don't mind if they combine it that aside as long as the banned scores are 100% removed from everywhere. I'd certainly be one to talk if cheated scores got you ripped apart from things you did legit, as I had a few cheated scores myself.

Others in the community where given second chances, so I don't see why giving you a little benefit of the doubt would be too bad.

My name is Rebirth0 because "Rebirth" was taken by somebody in 2003. They never once logged in after making that username, and never played a single game of FFR. That username was never used after being created. Go check for yourself on the profiles.

I've tried off and on for years to try and get them to change my username but I never had any success. I even offered money at one point

I've checked like.. 6 times. I haven't seen the infamous "Rebirth".
I think it's time to claim your title

[icontrolyourworld]

combine the grandtotals, no big deal

[Rebirth0]

I think at this point, changing my username would take a massive amount of database changes. Thousands of FFR scores changed, all of the FFR simfiles I have, etc
