You are just spouting bullshit.
People think that people in good clans are good and everyone else is bad.
So skill is determined by name.
Therefore it is bad for Thresh or SiZZ to name themselves Player and play
because people will think that they are playing better than "Player"

: Chalk up forgery to your list of crimes. Name stealing is not acceptable. 
Forgery ain't a crime in the name of science.  After I played as Thorn9,
I told everyone that it was an experiment.

So in other words, Quake is all about names.
But how did initial skills get established to the names?
By being good and being in a clan, but those "good" people could have been
bots all along.
Ah, see, you said it's kinda funny to watch people squirm, IE YOU ARE RUINING
THEIR GAME.  You just bit yourself.

Then if you can gib, he will gib.

Nope... our tests have challenging problems, etc.  GT makes you work and think.
We work our asses off - why? because when we come out companies hire us 
because they know that we worked our asses off and know what we are doing.
Maybe in that case we get inferior jobs, but entry-level jobs starting in
the $40000's are pretty damn good (and that is average).
Oh, and for you northerner's, prices are lower in the south too, so you
would probably have to make about $50K. 
And our professors have office hours, etc.  It is just they test us as hard
as they can get.  And give us projects with little time to finish, etc.
