Every Monday there is one alias to search for when preparing to request IATs: IATs are done on Mondays only. The following is a few points to remember about IATs. IATs have 3 conditions that need to be met in order to occur: - The alias must have very few hours on it. No aliases that have been on for a long enough time to gain any kind of reputation will be transferred.
- The requested alias must have a last used date prior to 2004
- The main aliases on the account that contains the requested alias must have a last used date prior to 2005.
Something I should stress here is that the IATs are only on the Monday, so if you missed Monday, then you'll just have to try the next week. A lot of players start extending over to Tuesday and Wednesday on the basis that they didn't get 3 requests on Monday, but this is not how this service works. It's not based on everyone in Infantry/CR getting 3 requests. It's essentially a bonus feature for some players who are fortunate enough to catch an IAT on Monday. Please try to understand that IAT is a very time consuming service and one that wasn't provided in these games, in a systematic way, in the past (probably for that reason among others). The only way to keep it around is to do it under such limitations that it doesn't begin to be overbearing. This news piece has nothing to do with other transfer types that aren't specifically inactive alias requests that you don't own. This is the system for IATs only.

What? You're either BS'ing or MP/Hung made an error. That alias was used no later than a month ago in CR.
If you're telling the truth though this is the second time that Ace's alias has been stolen.. lol.

If you believe me or not idc. Now idk if it was used in CR because I dont play there, and im sure many aliases have been "Stolen". As far as I know it was valid and im sure its almost impossible for a Hmod to mess a simple command up. Either way its still a $ alias :p

Keep in mind that some of the aliases you'll see popping up are not necessarily IATs, but are alias trades. Ace was an alias trade. The original owner gave it to him.

I traded Ace another alias for his. He seems like a real nice guy.

He prolly just doesnt use the alias and gave it to you to complete your collection. Combat/Combat Ace/Ace and CA not bad.

MP / hung
Was wondering if you guys could tell me about the alias Legend and why it was transferred when it could not have met the requirements since it was the main alias on the account with A LOT of hours.

And some aliases should have player personality requirements.
Legend going to Fake Khaos is a joke.
-.-
