For example, I never tell anyone my country number, but I still mostly never get attacked by the top players. They don't know it's me, they just know they're better off hitting other countries than hitting one with my build and size. In Primary and Express there's actually a lot of targets out there you're allowed to hit freely - maybe you're not used to that. For the first part of the reset a lot of people probably don't even spy on anyone more than half their networth.
I dont' disagree with that. However, I have played tourney a few times, and each time I played I simply didn't bother hitting some players since I knew that they would retal effectively via their country name. In primary, where you have a new country name each time, this is most important inthe beginning of the set. Consequently, having a list of names of who will retal effectively/avoid is an advantage. A small advantage, but an advantage nonetheless.
Again, this is most important in the beginning of the set since it could allow some players to have slightly slower start-ups and still minimize hits against them.
