Next time you fly as Clu you don't have to go so far out of your way to make it look like you don't know what you're doing. :)

Let your son or daughter use one of your accounts.
Just make sure they do not switch to another country and kill you
every chance they get.   :D

If this is the line your talking about, it means that your account can only be used by YOU, tho they may be a bit lenient when it comes to letting your kids use your account now and then.

They have never said you could not have a number of accounts running at the same time, "Tunes" come to mind as an example.

As stated above, as long as your not using the other accounts to "spy" or "hunt" players or cv's which all would fall under the "cheating" umbrella they are allowed.

I know of some players who use a second account to switch sides when fight dry up.

Not sure why I got rule 7 but it wasn’t anything major. No names or anything.

When I had an account with Warbirds, I added a second account later on and let my son use it.
The only complaint I ever had was he talks too much   :D   I'm sure HiTech does not care if dad's pay for another
account. After all it is more revenue.

Never understood why some people bother.   :noid

I know of at least three legitimate uses people put them to: having a guest account so a friend or prospective new player can come over and play in the same room, having multiple sets of buffs in the air at the same time, and being able to switch countries because of numbers or lack of fights and then switch back again within 6 (at one time 12) hours. I don't see anything wrong with any of that.

Accompanying Lusche here: No. He'd be paying for two and flying for one country only. It's twice as difficult to keep the two sets in formation. In some scenario one single player took care of the entire bomber fleet to let others fill the fighter slots - I don't know if he's got multiple personalities enabling that.

Should a player use the other account for shooting down sets of bombers he's flying for another country is another thing. Cheating? Not actually. Unethical? Maybe. Lame and pathetic? Very much so. Then again, if someone can't get the points for a perked plane by shooting other players down, he most likely can't do any harm with that perk ride either.

Using another account to fly for another country and fighting against your own teammates can be quite refreshing as long as the "true" identity can be held a secret. Same goes for a known player getting a new GameID, making people wonder how that new guy can get so many kills. The fighting style and favourite planes often can reveal the secret, sometimes it can be held for quite a while.
