	1. How are players tracked? Or, why is my name listed more than once? Players are tracked by WON ID. WON IDs are calculated from your Half-Life CD Key. You should never disclose your CD Key to another player. The CD Key-to-WON ID calculation algorithm is one-way, however, so it is quite safe to disclose your WON ID. A player may have more than one name. On the Player Rankings pages, players are shown with the most recent name they used in the game. If you click on a player's name, the Player Details page will show you a list of all other names that this player uses, if any, under the Aliases section (if the player has not used any other names, the Aliases section will not be displayed). Your name may be listed more than once if somebody else (with a different WON ID) uses the same name. You can use the Search function to find a player by name or WON ID. 2. How is the "points" rating calculated? A new player has 1000 points. Every time you make a kill, you gain a certain amount of points depending on a) the victim's points rating, and b) the weapon you used. If you kill someone with a higher points rating than you, then you gain more points than if you kill someone with a lower points rating than you. Therefore, killing newbies will not get you as far as killing the #1 player. And if you kill someone with your knife, you gain more points than if you kill them with a rifle, for example. When you are killed, you lose a certain amount of points, which again depends on the points rating of your killer and the weapon they used (you don't lose as many points for being killed by the #1 player with a rifle than you do for being killed by a low ranked player with a knife). This makes moving up the rankings easier, but makes staying in the top spots harder. Specifically, the equations are: Killer Points = Killer Points + (Victim Points / Killer Points) × Weapon Modifier × 5 Victim Points = Victim Points - (Victim Points / Killer Points) × Weapon Modifier × 5 Plus, the following point bonuses are available for completing objectives in some games: Game Player Action PlyrPlyr Action Team Action World Action Action  Player Reward Team Reward Beer for Breakfast CS1 No No Yes No All Counter-Terrorists eliminated 0 Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 No No Yes No All Terrorists eliminated 0 Counter-Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Assassinate the VIP +10 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Become the VIP +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 No No Yes No Counter-Terrorists defused the bomb 0 Counter-Terrorists +6 Beer for Breakfast CS1 No No Yes No Counter-Terrorists rescued all the hostages 0 Counter-Terrorists +10 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Defuse the Bomb +15 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Drop the Bomb -2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Kill a Hostage -20 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Pick up the Bomb +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Plant the Bomb +15 Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Rescue a Hostage +8 Counter-Terrorists +4 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Spawn with the Bomb +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Start Defusing the Bomb With a Defuse Kit +5 Counter-Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Start Defusing the Bomb Without a Defuse Kit +3 Counter-Terrorists +1 Beer for Breakfast CS1 No No Yes No Terrorists assassinated the VIP 0 Terrorists +7 Beer for Breakfast CS1 No No Yes No Terrorists bombed the target 0 Terrorists +10 Beer for Breakfast CS1 Yes No No No Touch a Hostage +2 Beer for Breakfast CS1 No No Yes No VIP escaped 0 Counter-Terrorists +7 Beer for Breakfast CS2 No No Yes No All Counter-Terrorists eliminated 0 Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 No No Yes No All Terrorists eliminated 0 Counter-Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Assassinate the VIP +10 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Become the VIP +1 Beer for Breakfast CS2 No No Yes No Counter-Terrorists defused the bomb 0 Counter-Terrorists +6 Beer for Breakfast CS2 No No Yes No Counter-Terrorists rescued all the hostages 0 Counter-Terrorists +10 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Defuse the Bomb +15 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Drop the Bomb -2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Kill a Hostage -20 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Pick up the Bomb +2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Plant the Bomb +15 Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Rescue a Hostage +8 Counter-Terrorists +4 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Spawn with the Bomb +2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Start Defusing the Bomb With a Defuse Kit +5 Counter-Terrorists +2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Start Defusing the Bomb Without a Defuse Kit +3 Counter-Terrorists +1 Beer for Breakfast CS2 No No Yes No Terrorists assassinated the VIP 0 Terrorists +7 Beer for Breakfast CS2 No No Yes No Terrorists bombed the target 0 Terrorists +10 Beer for Breakfast CS2 Yes No No No Touch a Hostage +2 Beer for Breakfast CS2 No No Yes No VIP escaped 0 Counter-Terrorists +7 Note The player who triggers an action may receive both the player reward and the team reward. 3. What are all the weapon points modifiers? Weapon points modifiers are used to determine how many points you should gain or lose when you make a kill or are killed by another player. Higher modifiers indicate that more points will be gained when killing with that weapon (and similarly, more points will be lost when being killed by that weapon). Modifiers generally range from 0.00 to 2.00.

How can I set my real name, e-mail address, homepage and ICQ number? Player profile options can be configured by saying the appropriate SET command while you are playing on a participating game server. To say commands, push your chat key and type the command text. Syntax: say /set option value. Acceptable "options" are: realname Sets your Real Name as shown in your profile. Example:    /set realname Joe Bloggs email Sets your E-mail Address as shown in your profile. Example:    /set email joe@hotmail.com homepage Sets your Home Page as shown in your profile. Example:    /set homepage http://www.geocities.com/joe/ icq Sets your ICQ Number as shown in your profile. Example:    /set icq 123456789 The server will respond with "SET command successful." If you get no response, it probably means you typed the command incorrectly. Note These are not standard Half-Life console commands. If you type them in the console, Half-Life will give you an error. 5. My rank is embarrassing. How can I opt out? Say /hideranking while playing on a participating game server. This will toggle you between being visible on the Player Rankings and being invisible. Note You will still be tracked and you can still view your Player Details page. Use the Search page to find yourself.
