What part of "No Multies" don't you understand?

[Ruddertail]

What part of "No Multies" don't you understand? We (the admins) have been cleaning out tons of multies from the game. We would like to remind you all, everybody, that having multiple accounts is against the game rules.

If you have a brother/sister who plays too, or are, for some reason, listed under the same IP as somebody else, come talk to the admins. We may, depending on circumstances, re-enable the account(s) in question.

Up until this point we have been simply disabling and deleting the duplicate accounts, and allowing one account to continue. However, starting Sunday, all multi accounts will be disabled.

Any further attempts to sign up multies will be taken as a direct, intentional violation of the rules, and may result in more serious action.

Thank you for complying,

FAF Admins

No.

Unless you sign up one account for each personality

A problem I have encountered.

A user signed up and played from his IP, he made friends with another user who coincidently lived in the same town.
One day after hanging out at the local soda shop, they both went to user 'A's house and one at a time logged in and played their turns.

Another user was also playing at nearly the same time, logged on saw all the actions taken against his account, then complained that a multi had destroyed his warband with relentless attacks, from '2 different accounts'.

Being familiar with the 2 users in question, I started IM convo's to discern if they in fact were the same person.

I had almost deleted them after 4 days of individual talks, when 'A' logged in from a completely different IP; he had apparently gone on holiday to his granny’s house and logged in to play after 3 days of inactivity.

I was chatting with user 'B' when the other popped on, thinking fast; I asked user 'A' to join the IM convo with user 'B', immediately user 'B' had several clan type assignments for user 'A'.
I jumped in to COG and checked his IP it was from Indiana while user 'B' was logged in from New Hampshire. Upon this I determined that I was looking at 2 different users.
So I broke my investigation and asked if they had ever logged in from the same computer and found they had done so when the complaint was issued.


It isn’t easy for admin to discern if a multi is really a multi, great care must be used when calling some one a cheater!
