Who did this and admitted to what? What are we dancing around here?
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Well my question is if we know a squad has members on one side, but another member on the opposite side they are fighting, and all playing at the same time and in the same area, how do we know they aren't targeting and giving away position over discord?

It's unsportsmanlike and not good faith. Not sure if it's a "rule" but I'll certainly call it out.

You can't know if they're doing that, of course.  Possibly you can rely on people being sportsmanlike?  Our squad routinely split up to even the sides, not to screw around with giving away Country Secrets.

You have that potential issue with Auto Switch. It has happened in the past, and it will happen in the future. At this point we can only hope for integrity in the players, I would suspect it happens very rarely.

If we reduced side switching back to an hour, I think less squads would have the potential of getting split up.  :cool: :cool:

There's only 3 people in my "squad," and we have more than once been split by the side switch limit.

I think $15 is $15...

Another red plane is another red plane..

Something tells me this isn't enforced if for nothing more than financial reasons..

Hitech welcomed players back that have done this multiple times for harassment purposes in the past so it must be allowed and obviously encouraged.  :aok  What a dumpster fire AH has become.  :frown:

Not really, only dumpster fire around here is from malcontent whiners that no longer play with some grudge against Hitech and his game offering empty opinions.

Are we so sure that these second accounts are used for “Hunting”? It seems to me to be more of a courting and seduction tactic

This is true.  I will say that I personally have not witnessed the "hunting" tactics, and from my experience the "victims" are usually the ones that bark first, instigating the accused...

That's just MY observation.  Not saying the accusations aren't true.

No grudge. I do not know the man. A whiner? Never have never will whine.  Good day Sir.

If you cause someone to make two accounts, you are helping support the game. Well done!!!!

  What a dumpster fire AH has become.  :frown:

All one has to go back in time in the pages of this bbs to find that’s not true, or no different.

As someone else stated, most problems/drama here involve former players.

And they do a lot more harm in other places than this thread.
The Skyrr thread is a good example. O’Club is another of many.

The actual paying players cause very little issues.

Personally, I’d be perma-banning ip addresses for the harm some former players cause here and the game’s reputation.

I agree 100% with Banshee.

There would be a lot less to deal with if the guilty former players who cause problems here were properly perma-banned instead of forcing paying players or mods to deal with repeat offenders.

The poster is a player bringing an issue to light.
Pretty sure 2 accounts used only in one country is allowed
Using two accounts in two countries is not.
