"Invasion of the smurfs"

[eXivo]

There has been an increased number of smurfs appearing lately, and it's being dealt with as we..type.
On a side note: just because someone you've never seen before beat you, it doesn't mean he/she is a smurf, even if he/she has very few games played; it might be an old gpgnet player that had just heard of FAF and came back.

Having said that; smurfing and pretending to be a new player is just not cool, so don't do it, or you might scare away the REAL new players.

Whats even the purpose of having a smurf? I dont get it.

It depends on the person. I used smurfs in gpgnet days when I was on a comeback from months away when I would play embarrassingly bad. Some do it just to beat up on noobs ( see V/Cyth/Greenapple/Katherine/Ichiban/Stirfriedchicken and prolly several other smurf accounts) and others do it for trolls sake.
