What constitutes an illegal alt?

One other occupant of the house I live in also plays Forumwarz from the same ip address, albeit hardly ever. Since we’re playing from the same home, does it count as legal or illegal?

I realize that this could sound like ‘I have an illegal alt but don’t want to admit it for fear of ruining my reputation’, but honestly, I don’t have that much of a reputation anyway.

Thanks!

Check out Illegal Alts on the wiki.

I think you’re fine based on what you’ve said.

make people verify the email with a login code sent to said email

Honestly the problem is Hotmail. Ever since Forumwarz launched they’ve consider us spam. I’ve jumped through a crazy amount of hoops with them to get our emails approved, and the final conclusion was “We can’t tell you what to change to fix it, sorry.”

We currently have 11k email addresses from Hotmail in our database. We figure it would be much worse to deny those people entry than validate the account.

Remember, our site is not Facebook, we don’t make money based on selling your personal information to other people. In fact, the only personal details we ask about you are your first name, last name and email. The most important reason to use a valid email address here is so we can contact you if need be.

For example, many of our dormant users have expressed an interest in getting an email when Episode 2 comes out. The best way to make sure you get that email is to make sure your email address isn’t asdfasdf@asdfasdf.com Log in to see images!

Bumping as the weekend draws near. To hopefully be bumped several times during the weekend so weekend-only players might see this thread.

Thanks for letting us know, I got some BP in order to move my Alts.

Glad to see this information. Not that I have illegal alts.

Saturday night bump.

Sunday night bump. Roughly 12 hours until amnesty expires.

Regarding the thread in Domination about illegal alts and/or permabanned players in Domination brackets. I know that CZ is coding some sort of fix, which is wonderful.

If it’s possible I would still like to know if he had illegals in our raids. I’m not a fan of exposing alts if there is any chance of them rejoining the game, but I think it’s pretty clear from Banhammer’s post that Ronnie won’t be rejoining. Still I don’t care if they are confirmed as his alts or not, just whether they were legal. So is it possible to get a confirmation on …

    * Idol Lasher 
    * Nikki Gale 
    * Honey Lennon
    * Gypsy Rose Lee
    * woman's genitalsGalore
    * cheating emo

... I removed the ones I could see the donor smiley or e-peen on.

If they were we illegals we had no freaking clue. He only recently brought alts to raids, it seemed to coincide with his donation for BP, so there was no reason to question it. They all have the same voting status, and there really isn’t anything beyond that for klans to check.

Honestly I don’t see how the onus of policing illegal multis could be on the klan to monitor and enforce. The last somewhat reliable method of determining alts which was the forumbuildr voting percentage was eliminated sometime ago. Sure we can question users as to whether they are bringing illegal multis to the table but they are under no burden to really tell us the truth.

I know. I understood why that change was made, since Flamebate had pretty much become a game of “Oh, that is _____.” and that was horrible for people wanting to role play, but man it has made it a **** for klans. I’ve literally had to ask members to go vote for things enough to change their voting status so I could make sure someone hadn’t just grabbed a name change and was trying to get back in after being booted.

from our POV people have a main account, and alts. not a bunch of alts. and essentially when you’re going to let someone come back (as others have) with just one account and on shakey grounds (as pointed out in the clarification,) it makes sense a person would want to return on their main.
