“Shiny side out, Sam. There are a limited number of names and they are randomly generated from a few dozen first names and a few dozen last names. They did AWAY with using Facebook names a while back… and most people don’t bother to upload a custom image now that it no longer auto-links to Facebook. There are also a finite number of pre-supplied images (not many), so it is unsurprising that there’s repeats there, too.”

When did they do away with Facebook? I believe you are mistaken. I actually use my FB on AB2 Arena. Even changed the profile pic to the one on my FB. Are you sure you just didn’t have the disconnect issue? You actually have to manually change the profile pic and name to FB (each separately). Kind of surprising some people think they did away with it when I still have people on my leaderboard have profile pics and first names…

“Ummmm, probably not the same player. First, there are hundreds of thousands of leagues. (Millions of players, grouped by 15’s) The odds of you being in the same league with someone you know are very slim. As I said above, the names are RANDOM, and the number of first names is not great. If the combined first name and last name are very long (i.e. Boom McPigSlayer), the game truncates the name to JUST the first name.

I’m “Rush Einswine” but even that is too long, so I just show up as “Rush”.”

Clearly while looking at both of their leaderboards, they have the same people in the top. OE is such a unique name (probably from FB), and their pic is the same. Even with Peppy and Smash Von Squeek… What would be the odds with random names and pictures and then they are the exact same?

Also, if you click on the name for the pop-up to show the bird ranks, you will see the full name if it is from AB2, not Facebook, even if it is long like yours.
