Suggested New Feature for CodeForces
By Fear_Is_An_Illusion, 9 years ago, In English

Hi all. I was thinking if CodeForces created a new feature which would enable to hack the code of my *true friends irrespective of their room. Would be so much fun.

*True Friends are those coders who are in your friend list and you are in theirs.

Yeah, just create multiple fake accounts, make them your "True Friends" and submit code which fails for some test cases via your fake accounts, hack them and earn a lot of points.

Very nice feature indeed :P

    Or even without creating fake accounts — you add to friendlist as much users as you can and it basically give you an opportunity to hack everybody, so room division doesn't make sense after that.

      Well at least he seems to have covered that aspect.

        Oh, missed that.

        Anyway, in this case lot of users will try to make friendlist as large as possible... So we'll all become friends :)

        Jokes apart, this idea is imbalanced (having a good hacker among your frieds will give you an advantage), so it sounds bad even with assumption that no cheating are involved)
