Title: 2 or more accounts
Post by: Yarbles on January 10, 2025, 09:48:19 PM
Is it ok to have a second account and be simultaneously in 2 countries. I am fairly sure some people do it  :noid

Is it allowed and what do people think ?

To me it is very un sporting. Part of the fun is anticipating the other country but it seems if a player can see exactly what is going on and where players are it spoils it for other players.

It is allowed. Speaks volumes about ethics.

I don't believe 2 accounts by the same person on opposite countries is allowed.

If I remember right HT not fond of 2 accounts in 2 countries at once.

Finetime flew 2 accounts but same country at once, that was allowed.

Its a game, the dweeble factory never breaks down.

"You know who" got booted for using multiple accounts to chase down other players. Even if he didnt use the other accounts to track other players he had some friends on other teams to do the tracking for him.

The point is, using accounts on different teams at the same time is punishable by suspension or ban. Report what you think is going on and HTC will look at it and take care of anything that needs to be taken care of.

On the other hand, it is more likely what you think is happening is all in your head and isnt really whats going on.

I've considered it, but 95% of the time if you look at the roster and the current map situation, you can make a switch to the country offering the best shot at a good fight.

Been finding some enjoyment finding a large group rolling bases and slowing them down in a 262 or something else fast.

But yes, it's allowed until it's abused like others mentioned.

There are some players who have 2 accounts set up on different countries so they can switch back and forth quickly to bypass the side switch timer (flipper!).

Having multiple accounts logged in at the same time on opposing countries is a direct violation of the games policy. Dale is verbally strict about this, yet the problem continues. He takes anywhere from a 10-30% hit on his monthly revenue if he does something about it...

We continue to witness action killing elements within this game as if nothing is wrong such as shade cheating and absurd eny during primetime hours on certain nights. YES, shade cheating is still quite prevalent in the game.

I think the final sentence of this is completely false.  Post evidence, or send it to Dale.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet folks...

Status quo is film it or it didnt happen and shut up about it LOL

Lazer has a personal vendetta against me for calling his hypocrisy out on 200 and im loving it. By all means please continue to endorse the game as if there is absolutely no shade cheating going on. That in and of itself is an absurd claim  :aok

It is not my responsibility to police this game. As we all know there is no one policing this game. The ban stick only comes out when the majority speaks out and then its rare but action then happens. I shoot down shades and when im the one to get shot down I just up and try again. You really think im out to tarnish this game by falsely making accusations over the integrity of the game on an issue that has existed for decades? OK "Lazer" :rofl :ahand

Burden of proof is needed from both sides of the subject.

They still CAN log into two countries and they DO. Just a matter of catching them in the act. IMO its a useless tool now a days since the NOE horde missions have come and gone, however I am sure they are using shades to point out CVs and even locating GV positions. Have you seen the hours some players have been racking up? It's making them loopy

So does anyone have a callsign or any red flag to be on the lookout for?
If I saw someone using it to gain advantage in the MA, I personally would turn it in, not post about it here.

So if you can supply some callsigns, time of day, etc.... I could use the information to do what you guys should have in the first place... send it to HTC.

He has shown in the past he will take care of the issue.

yeah that's also a direct violation of the game and forum rules too

Nice try "Lazer"  :aok everything has to go through HTC

Shade cheaters today are pros who have been doing it a long time. The only way they will be dealt with is to have someone monitor connections to the server and trace the accounts. That is so much time and energy wasted and revenue lost when action is taken.

This is why I started playing on multiple accounts to thumb my nose at those who shade cheat
 My way of showing you can do so much more than cheat using 2 accounts at the same time. That if your gonna shade cheat to stop me you gotta shoot 6 of my bombers down instead of 3. Its insurance on my time investment.

When a former player had finally expressed a willingness to return but couldnt I sent him my #2 laptop and account and walked away from dual account play for the foreseeable future.

Nowadays the most prevalent form of shade cheating is using multiple accounts to balance or drive up eny by populating the server with tower sitters. My assumption to why it's never been dealt with is it is a much larger source of revenue than most realize for the game.

It is what it is. Nothing will change but that doesnt mean I wont chime in when I experience an uptick in that activity recently and then someone with 6k posts says this...

That's the only one I've encountered here.  Seems like folks are looking for blame when their toolshed operations don't go as planned. 

The bad part is people might actually come here, read it, and get the wrong idea.

There was one from memory that just happened to know exactly where a CV was on a part of the map that nobody had any business in going. Not only did he know exactly where to go, but to go NOE across the map and hit it from the bow at a planned route.
Too fishy for me and not that I care about hiding CVs (just as lame). It was just how obvious it was.

Film it and send it in? I did and nothing happened. Or maybe they did as the player is not active but not sure if it was due to getting caught.

Cant dismiss it doesn't happen when it can happen. I agree most accusations is just paranoia but it DOES happen.

You don't need to spy on the enemy to find a CV when they send CVs to the same spots over and over.   

If you want to know where they are, look at the clock.   

It's that predictable.

You see something that does not appear on the up and up, film it and send it to Hitech. Otherwise its just a whine. Historically, when Hitech has found something, we don't hear a thing, just the player disappears, or they stop doing what they were doing.  :bolt:

Dude your a great guy and have done tremendous work for this game but even you have fallen victim to conspiracy I cheat because you associate with toxic players who need an excuse for when I send them back to tower. I didnt start this thread and shade cheating against me is a last resort for some players. I dont need to waste a single ounce of energy to route someone if they do. I just try again  :aok

I understand the necessary steps to take if I want to do something about it. Im not policing this game. I love this game but im not that invested.

This issue maybe taboo for those who do not expose themselves to the opportunity of experiencing it like I do but that wont deter me from participating in discussions on the subject. It exists to this day and nothing will ever be done to stop it. Like ive said it is what it is  :neener:

Lol Merv, that was not aimed at you or anyone else specifically. To many players talk about "cheating" "shade accts", and that is exactly what it is, Talk. While there maybe players using programs to gain the upper hand, I doubt there are very many. But if you do find something you can't explain or is suspicious, it needs to be filmed and sent to Hitech. It is a guarantee that NOTHING will be done if it is not filmed and SENT to Hitech.  :salute

Displaying G-Loading would shut down "he has blackouts disabled" accusations.

Displaying the weight that the program believes the plane is would shut down "he's messing with the plane weight" accusations.
