Addressing Plural-Account Exploits

Games involving an account with few games on it should have a low impact on rank for accounts with higher game count.

Gamerscore can be used as a metric of reputation. Higher gamerscore accounts are more likely to be mains.

Matches including second-accounters / smurfs / alts are disadvantageous espionage scenarios for players that stay on their main accounts. The disguised player can learn the main-accounter's weaknesses.

Reflections on Halo

It is now 2017. I first played Halo back in 2004 with the release of Halo 2. I became involved in the competitive community in 2010 and spent hundreds or thousands of hours and dollars in pursuit of the dream of becoming a professional Halo player. After my playing ambitions dwindled, I turned to coaching. My moniker was "Monk." In later years, I competed online under the gamertag "Calculate."
