So, I'm new to Forged Alliance Forever, but not to the game, and I have a few queries on things I could not find via Google or the wiki.

- What is the list of maps used in ranked automatch? I was pretty shocked to have played on "High Noon" as my first game because it's usually a 2v2 map. I'd rather practice the ranked maps a little first so I can understand the variations in my build I need to employ for each map (High Noon, for example, prevented me from playing land control harassment strategies like I usually do, and I wouldn't have won if my opponent hadn't failed to anticipate an experimental rush when I was behind, before he proceeded to feed it with t1 units.)

- Why doesn't the Wiki have a captcha system? The spam means that it's very difficult to actually get a good search result when I'm looking for something. There isn't much information on what I was looking for on either the main SupCom wiki or the FaF wiki regarding how I can convert my SupCom replays into another format, so if anybody knows, could they post an answer?

- I heard the average skill level of FaF players is higher than Steam/GPGnet but since I've seen somebody feed an experimental, fire missile ships at a Loyalist and also keep their commander above ground when there's a rampaging experimental trying to find it, I'm beginning to doubt the 'average player' is any better. Was I just lucky enough to have played against a complete retard, or are the majority a little bit more competant at differentiating between a good/bad play?

To answer your questions, a lot of info is on the wiki (see 'wiki' on www.faforever.com), the wiki will hopefully have captcha soon, and yes, even FAF has some noobs. Don't be too harsh on them. :)

The wiki have a captcha, but it was too late. You can clean it if you want :)

It will be my pleasure.

EDIT: It seems I need admin privileges to delete pages. Should I simply replace the offending articles with a key term, such as [SPAM] to make it easy to use a script to delete them?

EDIT 2: I'll just use a wikipedia marker of deletion for now till I get a response.

EDIT 3: Since there's a lot, I won't be able to do it all in one day, and also, is there a list of articles anywhere so I can sequentially delete them? I've been using 'random page' atm because of the vast number, but the time complexity will make it less and less feasible the more I delete.
