Dummy account & checking for bugs
Posted: 17 Jan 2017, 07:49
When you report a bug, King Achilles occasionally says things like "could you check this again?" Randbot is rarely helpful in testing for bugs, and you rarely have a player waiting and willing to cooperate in this. So, I made a dummy account for this, named imnotarobot: https://triqqy.com/#/user/28289/profile
imnotarobot has been very helpful so far in checking things, but "playing" against him affects rankings and scores, and I feel a bit weird doing it: it feels like cheating. I know some people take rankings rather serious, so I even try to balance games I "win" and "lose" against him¹. But still. I guess I just dislike sock-puppets, but now and then, I need this one.
Is there a way to have a dummy playtest account like this not count for number of games won, ratings and the like?
¹ I'm up 2 to 1, currently. He's a sore loser, though.
