They are both gaming the game.
Perhaps, but there is a vast difference in degree.  Running two or more accounts for the same side offers no advantage for either of the accounts.  Having the second account on the other team for either spying purposes or padding the score of one of the two accounts is detrimental to fair gameplay and certainly puts one who may be going for a legitimately good rank/score at a disadvantage.

Put another way, I really can't see how anyone on the opposing team can be "harmed" by facing two opponents controlled by the same person.  It would be no different (one could argue even easier) than facing two opponents controlled by different people.  However, at the very least anyone going for rank is "harmed" any time someone uses a shade account to pad his score.

Perhaps?? No advantage?? Then why do it if there is no advantage?? Most of us only need one account.

Shade killing? There is an interesting topic that has not been dicussed here before. Bravo  :D

At the end of the day, more accounts = more revenue for HTC so I say let em have as many as they need. But no more attention untill proof of obvious cheating is found and privately sent to HTC.

Right? I think that is about the gist of how this one ends up around page 207.

I think socially ostracizing shades is a great way to keep them away...  What's the name btw...?

What about a shade killing a shade?  That would certainly mark the apocalypse here on the bbs.

1Maddog1, Did you used to be a Bish and were in that squad Cowboys From Hell or whatever it was that got caught killing each other to pad scores a little over ayear ago or am I mistaken?

If it was you I remember talking to you about it while sitting at a GV base in GV's and you were totally unappologetic about that too.  If it wasn't you my appologies.

It's a shame some people were never taught fair play or sportsmanship.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
