Hellother Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi everybody! I have a question. I'm just curious, not saying I'm going to do this, but does anybody know how detection works for having multiple accounts. I was making my first, and only, account the other day and saw the "Multiple Accounts is Against the Policy" box and was wondering, how do they even detect when players break this rule? Wouldn't different e-mails hide their espionage? Or do they use IP tracking to determine the source? Just curious, if anyone knows the answer that would be neat.

Moderators Olive Penderghast Posted January 18, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2019 On Politics and war's in-game system, every person is assigned a unique ID, when two or more accounts are discovered sharing the same network, it'll lump all the accounts under 1 unique ID which could indicate multiple accounts being used, however it can also indicate family and/or friends sharing the same wifi which is why it is no longer a violation for multiple accounts to be on the same network anymore. When a report is sent to the game administrators they do a basic investigation and if anything seems fishy I assume they search further into the account to find signs that it may be one person using multiple accounts. I am not sure how @Alex or @Chris handle these investigations but that is what I assume is there first steps for any reports concerning multis. Investigate and then decide if it is multiple people or one person using multiple accounts, but the first step that may flag you would be having multiple nations on the same unique ID and showing the classic signe of it being one person. 1 2 Quote If you see something you think is breaking the Forum Rules please click the report button, and I will get an email stating that a report has been sent.

Chris Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 @Grymholt I will look at that now, although it is the wrong place to send the report, it's also worth mentioning that a shared unique ID doesn't necessarily mean the accounts are multis. @Hellother sorry for the late reply, we have multiple ways to find those who violate the rules around multiple accounts and I believe this "check box" is standard for anyone who signs up.

Hellother Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) First of all, and not to be rude here, why would you report us @MERCY? We are all friends who play at school. If you re-check the link (https://politicsandwar.com/nation/unique/id=147497), there are a bunch of nations on our school network. This was just a simple curious question I had. Second, thank you for the help, @Chris Edited February 25, 2019 by Hellother Lack of info on my part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
