    These PVP events exist to help me determine whether or not they are an acceptable avenue for Dark Legends. I had a pretty grim opinion about this when we did our first 'duel' challenge a while ago... but I got a lot of requests to reconsider... and I deemed it reasonable to keep the faith and decide the fate of DL future content on data from multiple event types. So thereafter we had the 'Honor' death-match stuff - and that was clearly a failure but not a flaming fiasco. Now on the other hand this 'Honor CTF' thing is quite the train-wreck. Which leads me to refrain from any sort of PVP "event" for Dark Legends in the future as the need to cheat overwhelms too many players. Good news is: this means all future DL content will be PVE and we all can enjoy that ;-)

    Many have asked me to do something about alts and sitting. Unfortunately for a game that does not device-lock your account, Alts are impossible to stop. Players with even the most basic facility to create an email account and register a new Spacetime account will be free to sit and ruin matches for everyone. A solution would be to force everyone into a single account per device but this doesn't prevent wealthier players with numerous devices from creating the same multiple accounts to achieve the same nefarious goals. Happy to answer more questions about this if you have them - but in a nutshell this is why "alt / sitting" is insurmountable for DL.

    With respect to the current 'Honor' CTF event - I will be revising the rewards and how they are given out. Instead of awarding based on leaderboard rank I will be awarding based on points. The minimum points to get both of the titles will be 1,000 points (which most participants have accumulated).

    What a great idea Cinco. Secondly, there are good players out there. It's time to shake things down

    I missed the chance to ask you this...umm what are we going to do with all the " cheated " flags we have made during this event ?, me personally have made more than 1000 flag added to my stats without a single kill/death tho I am not really happy about that since I consider myself as pro PvPer and always address cheaters and all..now I kinda look like them...so I wonder if the plan to erase all the pvp stats is going to be put into effect soon ? thank you.

    Prior to the KDR: The fact that you bring Kdr to the matter shows again how frustrated and whenever people are better then you. The Jealousy is strong in you my friend. I love how you try to convince everyone of your so called facts, but all that i see is jealousy and nonsense. You see, i don't have that problem, I don't make sh t up as i go along and your so called experience level along with it. SMH
