nodice said it right, spot on.

OTF is not the same as PGA, but many PGAs are intended to look like OTFs, cause OTFs ain't bannable.

PGA is 2 or 3 friends playing to help each other gain the maximum amount of points through protecting and violating others flags

OTF is being able to trust a friend to understand that when you move away from them they won't fuck you. It's knowing that you can truce them without letting you down. But you will kill them or a higher place and you will not protect them

i would rather OTF really hard than pga.

Gurgi, a nice explanation... you're pretty much saying "it's not that me and my OTF partner help each other, we just screw everyone else [till we're the only 2 remaining]"

I just had to point that out.

I don't agree, anonymity is not necessary.

The only way to have a fair monthly competition is with tables of the same value. Highest tables now have few players with the highest points, so they all know each other more or, better said, they have a lot of time to speak with each other.
With tables of the same level, players will sit at random, the chance that players know each other or will cheat is much lower. Bis, the ranking at the end of the month will show who was the best player, like in football.

Lady Lite: Such month would be the most boring one ever and I'd quit this game finally. It's like playing 0-tables with all the random players all month long.

OTF makes it impossible with any newbie to win the month no matter how much effort he would put into playing. It also makes impossible for any regular to win the month before he played many games with everyone at the top. Unfortunately, even being in the circle doesn't seem to be enough with all the cheaters in the hall of fame. I'd happily accept OTF if it was the ultimate border-line.

OTF is similar as PGA..except it's used by hardcore players and made cleverly to avoid bans...

To sum up it's all BUT fair

and that's an useless debate..only anonymity could make this game fair..unfortunally
