Talk:Smurf

I thought Smurfing was creating a small guild to beat up on it to go up in the ladder. --Karlos 14:10, 30 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I've never heard anyone use it for that. In other games, it's used (or, I've used and have seen other people use it) for making new characters/guilds mainly so that you're not using a well-known name; but with the side-effect of also ending up being low ranked or unranked, if applicable.  --Fyren 14:30, 30 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * The generic definition of smurfing is an experienced person starting a new character (or guild) in order to masquerade as a newbie. Sometimes this is done to escape the fame or notoriety of the original character; other times to try out strange concepts or builds without affecting the "main" character; usually, however, it is done to garner many easy wins as a player or guild works its way up a tournament ladder. 203.220.36.62 15:08, 30 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Given that most of my experience in PvP is read, not actually "experienced," I'll defer to the wisdom of those wiser than myself. :) --Karlos 16:06, 30 Sep 2005 (EST)
