Lately, it has become more prevelant that people are account jumping far too frequently.........now I know as long as only one account is active and the others are vmoded then no rules are broken.......but this is open to abuse imo..........for example........say I have two good fleeting accounts.....damn, one is vmoded.......but there is a tasty fleet right next to it.......well it makes sense to vmode one and crash the fleet with the vmoded account, wait 48 hours then vmode it again.......maybe not rule breaking as such but possibly an abuse of rule.......happens in Extreme....happens even more in Massacre as everyone knows........so I suggest that before this gets even more out of hand Zorg can introduce a set time period that someone has to stay in one account before "passing it" or "jumping" accounts.........maybe 3-6 months.........else what is to stop people "collecting" accounts (in vmode of course) and jumping accounts as they see fit to "gain" an unfair advantage?????

Agreed.

Also needs a stronger sitting rules... Had attacks on certain players with fleet sitting like 2-3 hours, and the target shows up in the last moment (all currently had no moons to hide their activity, and logged in like 10 minutes after I spied).
Reporting them leaded only to Let's not be discussing Administration Action, that is Admin Baiting...

I agree with both, i now have 2 accounts in massacre as was given a new one i use (old in V waiting to go to a freind)
although i wouldnt do as jackal had suggested above that and a few other ideas had come to mind on how it could be used,
Account sitting also happens often, hitting targets that should be offline because of their time zone that suddenly make it on jsut before the hit, could be coincidence but only has happened in one alliance and a few times for different members.

Account sitting and account swapping (to frequently) should be banned and limited respectivly.

^^^ cant get any more honest than that... watta boy con.

but i am not sure if the idea will work or get high on pd.

first a agree with almost everything sprog
about [edited out- do not accuse players, even indirectly, in public forums ~zorg] hear some stories about him that he has 2 account and do exacly what you DoctorWho wrote
but a dont wanna a accuse somone for cheating there is zorg to that part.
next about siting account
well a think is fair that somone can watch somone account only in matter to move deuerium to moon and fleetsave somone fleets .
well we all know we need to work and sometime we work much time as we need so am with that to help other small players only in keeping fleets save thats all .
but for part where somone v mode one accounta and enter other to destroy fleet am strictly against him thats big cheating.
also a notice somone enter 2 accounts use big fleet and crush it in other account to increase his fleet.

also propose in player personal ad one more stats
to see in what player did spend ruby and how much to see


a play all 4 servers for some time a dint play standard a give my account to him but he give me back again lol.
a think one account in each universe is enought to play fair and squire.

I'm with Pein on this one

account sitting i disagree - if my fleet gets home and i call my brother to enter my account and move it it is not cheating!
plus they might be online because they know their fleet gets there

My main point (although I see the problems with account sitting.....means a 24/7 raiding machine imo) was this...

"say I have two good fleeting accounts.....damn, one is vmoded.......but there is a tasty fleet right next to it.......well it makes sense to vmode one and crash the fleet with the vmoded account, wait 48 hours then vmode it again.......maybe not rule breaking as such but possibly an abuse of rule......."

That shouldn't be allowed imo......and there should be a set period of time that any one person can jump into another account........I don't much see the point of continually jumping accounts anyway....unless........

well im new to this game. and account jumping is not something i would expect... to be used as a cheat... why not use a roamer, or lets say attack at reduced drive... try to get it on lanx... he there are a **** of options

Let me say this, i have 1 account in M, 1 in X and one 1 Speed. The one in Speed i barely used before i retired , because of the absurdity there. Just retired from Extreme, won't be going back and am only in M active (for now ). I don't need a second account in a Uni where i'm already active.I think it's cheating/ bending the rules. Account sitting.....Also cheating, i will admit that when the solar flares a month (or so) ago hit us, i got disconnected every 10 minutes. (fcking wi-fi router !). I called upon a alliance mate to f/s my fleet that had landed in the mean time. I couldn't get connection , so i called him (he had good /fast connection) and he entered my account and f/sed for me! Did that only ONCE and only because of extenuating circumstances.So if that happens to another player , i will understand him/her requiring help in that dept. But to let someone sit your account EVERY day when you're off, Mate that's do not escape censor words - watch your language ~zorg CHEATING. I reported an alliance a few weeks ago , i had strong suspicions of them account sitting, a few got banned at once, but after a few hours the ban was lifted because their leader came up with a watch your language ~zorg story about all of them playing at the same time in the same freaking location W/E!!!!
So both are cheating imo,account jumping and account sitting (unless it's once and because of certain circumstances)... Period!!!!!!!!
