Adam Ryland Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 You should try including some dummy body text - sending a totally blank e-mail is never a good idea in any context as some servers will not like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore it can't be limited to people giving their forum name as many won't have one. Besides, if someone is making numberous e-mail addresses to cheat, they could just as easily use them to make a bunch of accounts on the forum anyway.</p><p> </p><p> If you meant they should give their real name, I can't see how that'd help given that anyone who is low enough to cheat is hardly going to draw the line at making up a bunch of fake names too.</p><p> </p><p> Ultimately we're doing the competition because we thought it'd be a fun way to get people interested. It'd be pretty depressing if there were people greedy enough to spend a lot of time trying to cheat the system, and we'd probably cancel the competition entirely if endemic cheating was obviously happening, meaning everyone loses out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 <p>Yeah, that's fair enough.</p><p> Was just trying to point out something that I'm sure you were already aware of.</p><p> I appreciate the work you guys put into these games and that you run contests like this one.</p><p> Looking forward to participating (once <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ).

BHK1978 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 <p>Well the time I chose was way off. I hate to admit this but I sat down and actually analyzed each fighter's career fight times and averaged them out and added about a minute to each average.
