I am the original Steamboat Willy, creator of SW I, II and III.
I just wanted to make you all aware that Steamboat Willy IV is ***NOT*** a continuation of this player`s characters - it is an imposter!!!
Hoping that I wasn`t going to notice??? You`ll have to do better than that.

I thought you were back and had challenged thinking it was you. Should have noticed it was small willy.
Will not be challenging in future.
Looking forward to the originals return, if that isn`t also confusing.

I`d noticed that the tactics had changed (high strength, low dex) when I fought him the other day - didn`t realise it was an imposter :(

but what does he gain by impersonating someone. other than maybe a few extra fights from people who have assumed it is the original. maybe i should think about changing my name to grab an extra few fights lol

If it was the genuine willy he would be getting around 40 fights a day! ;) so it`s definitely an imposter. :)

I had the same thing happen to me - someone else created a "Gruntfuttock".

Yes, but at least they didn`t have "Richardh" as their username as well, this Steamboat willy is a double imposter!! >:(

Had me fooled, but the underachieving league position and the weak dexterity did make me wonder whether you had switched his Prozac with Steroids...
Ta for the heads up - I think a reduction of challenges issued may be in order here. If you need a lawyer for this matter - I don`t know any, so try the yellow pages...

Coo eck... I never noticed either... poor so n` so.... even his/hers/its profile is saddeningly small....... why bother! shuch a shame... gremlin name fair enough if similar to one someone has used before but copy all of yours??
Maybe whoever thought they were doing you a favour to continue the living memory of Big SB Willy whilst you were away from the game.....
