There is a regular unregistered player here who is a real pain. Another registered player here referred to him as "evil". He rarely signs on using the same nick but his style of play and his comments makes it obvious it is the same player. I have come across him under the nicks: darkmen, hopper, oki, caltech and some others I can't remember. He is one of those taunters who says things like: loser, obvious play, liar, you play like a girl, sore loser, predictable, you were too easy to beat, and other worse garbage. He is not courtious at all and will leave without comment if beaten. He is also known to send frequent wakeup signals just to be a pest.

I am curious if anyone knows who he is. He usually is online around 4-10pm est. His setups are almost always the same: random bombs down both sides with an open flag behind a lake on the second row (usually). His style of play is easily recognizable: alot of shuffling of pieces in the middle to make you lose track of pieces you know and he plays conservatively taking advantage of rank.

I believe he is American because he types fast english with good grammar and he is online evenings New York time. He is probably a player from that other stratego site. He has also tried to make me believe he was Eindhoven becasue he typed Eindy's favorite phrase several times, "pffffffffff".

I do not believe it is Eindhoven because his english is too good and style of play is different. I do not believe it is Sadistic because he is not as good and again, his style of play is different (he does not attack or setup like Sadi does). Though I would be willing to bet Sadi knows who he is.

My sympathies to anyone who has had the unpleasant experience of playing this coward. I don't know if anything can be done about him but Gravon would be better without him here. If nothing can be done I at least hope this information can help people avoid him or beat the daylights out of him.

Funakoshi, there is a button on the main login screen that says "user rooms" that gives you a look at everyone online all at once. The color of their nick tells you whether they are registered. White nicks are not.

Rueben, I really don't think it is Sadi. The mystery player is not as good and Sadi will attack when he has an advantage, this guy will not at first because he is concerned about you lottoing his flag. Also, Sadi usually plays with most bombs in the middle back with his flag mixed in. This guys bombs are spread out on the sides usually.

Hi Ben, I couldn't agree with you more. Another nickname he used is Samson. He's right up there with some of the worst irritators who have ever played here or at WSC. Unranked players this guy is spoiling your opportunity to get games since us ranked persons are less likely to now play you. I will still play unranked games, but I'm definitely more hesitant now.

Cheers, tp

hi all,

first of all thx for the info.
i checked all nick names and found different players. one player used some of the mentioned nicks.
(nick oki wasnt used till today)

samson is one person
ibm - hopper - caltech and a lot more is one person
darkmen is one person (are you sure he did it? maybe another user used
this free nick)

no one is from usa - all mentioned nicks are from eu

please use the option: Chat to administration => menu commands - if a player behave like this.

one player out of this list is known for his bahaviour and if i see again 2-3 chats to admins with his ip
i will (again) bann his ip - but now for a much longer time.

we know, that some people like to use the unreg nicks to be king for one night.
next day they are normal and friendly again - but if they go on we will act immediately.
same with the x-files - most players leave games with unreg nicks, but i am still checking from
time to time the unreg nicks - and we get them.

Thanks for the research Stratego. I am CERTAIN hopper and caltech are the person I am referring to. I thought darkmen may have been him because of the way he played but i beat him and he didnt say anything. The guilty player in question doesn't usually taunt when beaten so I could be wrong about darkmen. As for oki, I was stretching my memory to remember a similar nick. I could have got it wrong. I cant speak for samson because I dont recall ever playing him.

As for being from the usa, it was a guess based on time and english grammar so it could be wrong too. And I was certainly not trying to put the usa down, since I am from there.

And thanks for the info on the admin chat command. I did not know that.

If he is from eu, is this player Eindhoven or would you rather not say?

please send the chats and i am sure we get him soon.

Is this player from Denmark by any chance?
If he is........then does he actually have a registered name here?

Sounds like the git I had problems with a few weeks ago.
My intel told me he was a certain Danish player who is known elsewhere.

That is good news. Thanks for all you do here Stratego to make gravon a great place to play. People who act like the jerk make things bad for everyone. It is too bad they have to show their insecurity and act the way they do. But I am glad there is something that can be done about it.
