Hey guys,

Is there a way that both me and my flatmate can play this game? We share the same IP.

Cheers,

From the registration page:

The use of multiple accounts for a single person is prohibited. Anyone found using multiple accounts will have all of their accounts deleted without notice. Further offenses will result in banning.


It talks about a person, not an IP address. Just make sure the admin knows you are flatmates and it should be ok... thats how things are handled on other sites I visit anyway.

Thanks,

But don't they use IPs to check it? That was my concern.

Yes, that is one way to check if someone is using multiple accounts. However it is by far foolproof and false positives always exist (for example: Some ISPs run all their customer's traffic through a handful of servers for various purposes, resulting in all of them sharing only a dozen or so IPs). Anyways, just make sure the admin knows about your situation and is ok with it.

I vouch for the two individuals.
Its "brothers", and they are teenagers ... I think they are trying to sound more mature with the "flatmates" approach :)

Sorry to spoil it guys (braces for hack attack)
