Nintendo Wi-Fi "Friend Linking"

[Rhubarbo]

It's pretty clear Sakurai has no intentions of altering the current Brawl "firend code" system on Wi-Fi. This means you will have a friend roster limited to 64 characters, which seams rather small.

Now, this is what I have been thinking. This is the scenario:

You go to the My Friends option on Wi-Fi. You and your pal had arranged to have a Brawl at this time. You scroll down your list of friends, find his room, join it, then wait...

You, Elbow, and your friend, Uno are joined by Grit, another player that you do not have on your friend roster. Yes, this is because Uno has Grit on his friend roster, and, since you are in the same room that Uno, your friend made, friends on his roster may also join the game.

Now, I devised a plan that will abuse this if it is true, and this may potentially destroy the limitations of the "With Anyone" option. The plan is to create a website that has the algorithmic capability of assigning 64 "unique" friends. Basically, one of your friends wont have a single friend that you have on your list of 64. It would be simple in that all you do is register, enter your friend code, and enter the 64 codes you are sent.

Now, I will likely fall through with this plan at the point where I actually name the website (I'm not technically inclined per se) so it would be nice if someone else picked up on the plan. I know it's a long shot, but it would be really cool if it went in fruition (hey, I uses a Sakurai word).

P.S. Sorry if this is old...

Interesting. I like the idea. But you would have to have a massive amount of unique IDs before you could even start sending lists out.

Very good idea...

Well, it would be an algorithmic website, so it assigns lists. If there are not enough friend codes to assign, it would leave a space empty until it would be updated.

You wouldn't need such a huge amount of people. Just take the total number of ID's you have and divide them up among the people. You also don't need to have each and every person to have unique friends on their lists. Say you get 100 people in total, just give each of them 5 people, and have 4 of those people be repeated on lots of lists, while the other 1 is unique.
