Anonymous bots in Spider?

Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible:

In a game where there are usually only 4-10 finishers for most rounds, I am now seeing hundred of finishers named "anonymous" most of whom are remarkably fast at winning games. Are you under attack from bots that are testing their skills?

    And post #16 on the non-existent "anonymous" conspiracy.

    And the answer is "No."

    If you don't want to know how many actual real people are playing Greenfelt games, then use the "don't show anonymous" option. Anonymous players are simply players like me who, for many reasons, have opted out of registering a name when they play.

  • I've got no problem with that, barzonymous. But all of a sudden, there are hundreds and hundred of anonymous players playing all the games at once and beating out all the named players. (If that's the way it always is, and I've somehow accidentally had the don't-show switch set, well, never mind. You anonymous guys are pretty slick.)

    Hi @Bips the visibility of anonymous players stems from a request and the subsequent response from the green felt developers. See this forum thread:
