Multis

[owenshooter]

which leads to the question of a 1(one) computer home, with "multi"ple people wanting to play?

thats perfectly legal while one person with a multiple personality isnt

multiple players on one home are watched carefully, and typically the cheaters are found out, and the innocent...while sometimes burdened, are typically free

vace cooper and fwblb play from one computer... late at night, when taking turns with fwblb, you can often see cooper passed out on the floor behind her from too much cheap beer... i love my clan mates!!!-0

Someone doesn't understand the phrase "spirit of the rule"...

Someone doesn't understand THE RULES.

It doesn't matter how you interpret the "spirit of the rule", you are wrong - plain and simple - if you sign up for more than one account (regardless of how you use the accounts)

Obviously it's against the rules as they stand. But I think that the rules could be improved upon- we are having a discussion. Is there really anything wrong with that?

improve upon the rules by allowing cheating? in your OP, you never suggested that this was a thread/discussion about a rule change. you simply stated that having a multi was not against the rules, somehow, using your convaluted logic. why don't you just pony up the money for more games, instead of cheating? i guarantee you that you are being watched very carefully now!! why don't you go get your fill of free halloween speed games courtesy of lack on the halloween map? that is about as good as it is going to get for you, unless you pay for premium... no way you get THE rule on CC, changed... that is like whiping "thou shall not kill" out of the bible, just not going to happen.-0

In theory, there'd be nothing wrong with having a multi ...

Which theory?

A bit of good PR and any fool believes this Multi nonsense is cheating. Its only cheating the owner of CC out of a potential $25. As far as cheating within the game is concerned. Its clearly not,as it perfectly legal to borrow a friends ID and play his turns for him.

What cheating ?

Multi's aren't illegal; just keep making them

Which legality?

Surely cheating/illegality is breaking the rules? Any and every game is defined by its own rules. And the rules relevant to this particular game include:

Rule #1 No Multiple Accounts. They are strictly forbidden whether or not they play in the same games.

And for emphasis I think 'multiple' means 'more than one' in this context. Whether I sign up directly for three myself or 'borrow' a couple from friends.

cicero,I'll just answer the bit refering to my comment.
Anyone busted as a multi is pressumed a cheat by the community at large.Mainly,because they are breaking an obscure rule that is set up only to make $25 or do you have another reason why this silly rule exists.
Lets break it down.
Q1;Do you use a multi to increase a chance of a win by co-habiting 2 ID's in the same game?.
A1;I believe this is cheating.
Q2;DO you use a multi ID to play against your other ID in order to increase your rank by gifting games?.
A2;I believe this is cheating,but a rule already exists for this one.IE You must not throw games.
Q3;Did you get fed up of your old name and create a new one?
A3;I do not believe this to be cheating.
Q4;Will JR and Owen bash you for eternity?
A4;Not sure.

If I get bored of my Mr C personality and set up another account, say Mr Shanghai, pay premium again and only play Mr S (i.e Mr C has no more active games from the moment Mr S starts) is there anything wrong with that?

(I still have two accounts...)

Does it make a difference if I declare the switch or not?

Genuine questions by the way...

Mr C

(soon to be Mr S... )

I already stated, this has nothing to do with wanting more games. I would never play in more than 4 total games counting all multis. The two multis would only ever play in the same games with each other, on the same team, in doubles games. And since there are two of them, each game would count as two game slots, for a total of two doubles games with two multis.
