That sounds nuts! (Destiny)

Sounds like hard mode requires a different strategy but honestly, it's not nuts when you can simply open your eyes and see what the platform is called based on who is standing on it.

Except that some of those scenarios require everyone to be able to quickly identify the platform, perhaps without looking, and others require you to identify the platform that does not have a person on it. It might be conspicuous by its absence, but you may not have direct line of sight to that platform, and depending on where you're standing you might see another nameplate in that general area.

Doesn't take more than a round or two for everyone to get it. You play with the numbering system and then you play with a different group who has a different numbering system and confusion abounds.

I get what you're saying-- that it is possible to do it with names, but it requires more processing, and for me that encounter is hard enough and using names makes it harder unless you always play with the same group with the same composition. As for the numbers, I don't think I ever ran into a group that used numbers that didn't use the same scheme-- #1 is the platform to the players' left as they enter the room, and #2 is the one on the right, counterclockwise from it... and so on. I have encountered several different naming schemes, but I think all the ones that were numbered were numbered in this way. I could be wrong.

I don't do LFG so I guess I don't run into people who gave themselves unpronounceable names.

Lucky you :)

On the other hand, it's those "near Saturn/Far Saturn" people that really drive me up a wall.
