Using combination from high school math, C(12,0) + C(12,1) + C(12,2) + C(12,3) + C(12,4) + C(12,5) + C(12,6) + C(12,7) + C(12,8) + C(12,9) + C(12,10) + C(12,11) +C(12,12) = 4096 patterns for 12 letters. Wow man. This has close to no importance, but it just makes me sick to see this when you could obviously just do 2^12 (twelve positions that could either be a R or q, with no influence between position or other rules). This brings me to the point that barcodes could obviously be handled with binary logic and calculus. We could dig through this. Even if i agree that 6-6 (1,3,5,7,9,11) tells more than 2730, identifying every barcode to a 0-4095 number through its binary value could simplify dealing with all this data. | ||

Hiding ladder games would be as dumb as hiding tournament games. WoW is a role playing game, it's quite understandable why you wouldn't want gibberish names that break the immersion. SC2 is not such a thing an thus there is no need to use a "real" name. The problem with privacy is not just the match history, it's also playing against each other. Hiding the build order in the match history only does so much when you are playing against other pro's with your new super uber build. You play them once, they have the replay and a name. With a barcode they have only the replay but no idea which player it actually was. The data clearly shows that there is a need for privacy for many of the pros. Great article by the way. Keep up the good work, your stuff is always interesting or entertaining to read. | ||

On iCCup progamers have a long tradition of using random strings of random characters to make their name harder to differentiate, this happens regardless of your account system. | ||

I was playing on iccup back in the old days when it was quite famous with koreans/top foreigners, and don't remember that. But either way, I was talking more about the build orders being shown, rather than the matchlist. But if hots has a privacy setting now, that should help with this and hopefully reduce this in ladder. | ||
