Yes. They have erased score and perks(!) of offenders in the past and will do again.

So somebody actually did this? It's hardly a "game" if you're playing with yourself.

Let me get this right:

"Hey, look at me. I can up 200 boxes of Ju88s and shoot them down unopposed in a deserted corner of the MA. I am like a behemoth turd. Behold my girth and waftage and know that I must've been birthed by one king-sized sphincter in loud testament to the assertion that the "playing the back nine" method of conception control doesn't work."

Like that?

It happens occasionally. Every once in a while, a player has the genius idea that this may be a good way to boost his perks. But then, it's quite easy to sniff out ;)

I think more shameful conduct would be to use one account to take off and autoclimb a box of bombers while you use the other to come shoot it down unopposed. If you rinsed and repeated enough, you could be one serious scoretard. In fact, you could probably win the Tour this way. Hmmm... I wonder if HTC would step in if somebody did such a thing?

people have done, and htc does.

its called shade killing..

Never cares how many accounts (your name here) has/had.
Helps HT pay bills, R&D of the game, etc.
If Joeblow has x amount of money to spend, his/her business.
If cheating yourself by killing yourself floats your boat,
have fun!

Right. It's one thing to play with yourself. It's quite another to play with yourself _onto_ others. The game is competitively scored. Cheaters will be dropped into the Bantha pit.

You don't have to shoot a second account ... you could find some buddy (or buddies) to play drone for you.

Saw it happen in MW last week ... 21 kills in a Mossy followed by 16 kills in a jeep and when questioned about it ... poof ... disappears.

Interesting stuff I see in the stats. I guess you didn't inform HTC yet? ;)
