Multi-account retribution

[iuewen]

I think it's about time for the topic to come up, to get some thoughts on the courses that should be taken.

I am a known multi-account player, and have been since day 1. I announced it when both accounts were created (One for me, iuewen; one for my fiancee, Atlatl) and have let Rast know about it from the getgo. We've tried to be completely fair with the accounts, no gangbanging, no unfair trades, etc.

Lately, i've noticed a disturbing new trend of multiaccount users taking advantage of the ability to perform multiple strikes and share resources. I've held my tongue, as most people have (apart from the little flame war that went on a few weeks back) but yesterday was an instance of multi-abuse that needs to be looked at, I think.

I went about the business of testing out the new Fireworks, and ended up vassalizing Humpy in the attempt (and Paxades... sorry bud). I land exchanged a couple times, and rebuilt my new land a bit, then went off to work. I come home and notice that my province has been nuked by Jumpy with a Launchpad in retribution for vassalizing his alt account that he had claimed he'd stopped playing.

I think the time for these multi accounts has ended. I quit playing iuewen (admittedly my more successful account) quite some time ago as my fiancee decided to move on to different games and I didn't think it fair to continue playing at an unfair advantage. When I see people abusing the system in that same way it angers me.

So, thoughts on the subject? I'd like to get a bit of insight from Rast on this subject, as he is in a much easier vantage point than the rest of us in the matter of multi tracking and watching.

(At least Humpy got hit with his bad karma - White Horseman reversed that quite nicely)

Multi account players should cancelled. Not the accounts, but the players themselves. After beings cancelled they should be rolled up in a carpet, beat with sticks and lit on fire.

Well I'm totally on board. I shall fight the evildoers with the power of milk and cookies! And by milk, I mean IP logging.

[spamwise]

Got IP logging?

[RedSpectranotloggedin]

When you say cookies, do you actually mean cookies, then?

[Rasteroid]

Yep!

Hey d00d, Jumpy, Mumpy, Humpy and any other *umpy's are all different players, they all just used to work at the same place and use umpy as there clan name.

[iuewen]

Jumpy has stated in the comm channel that he is controlling at least 2 of those accounts, unsure if he is all three. Have you forgotten the huge flamewar of September?

I'm am Jumpy, I have 1 account, that Humpy account was created by The Chemist who now only uses The Chemist account. Mumpy is his own player as well. If I hit you with an ICBM, it had nothing to do with you attacking Mumpy or Humpy, I go on rampages every now and then and you were probably just one of a couple people I hit. You'll notice people have been complaining about Multi-User accounts after they've been bombed to the stone age, thats just untrue, its just a planned attack with my-coworkers and friends via msn.
