Board Game Arena

Same IP does not mean same person. My husband and I both have BGA accounts, we play from the same IP most of the time (unsurprisingly). We also play other couples on here who have the same issue. My kids are interested in board games and when they get a bit older, they may also want to play on here...

this thread has considered so many scenario's now, with OP even changing their mind on what was happening... In my experience when you put this much thought and energy into something, seeing evidence of it is inevitable. (similar to you buy a blue car, and suddenly see blue cars everywhere you turn...

And I agreed with you, that if it's not a case of starting a new account each arena season and moving on from the old, that's clearly NOT within BGA rules. Your initial post made it sound like your scenario involved a person creating a new account each season and not returning to the old ones. Alth...

They also can't dominate the main ELO rankings unless they're playing on their multiple accounts somewhat simultaneously - after I think 30 days of no play, you drop off the rankings (your ranking is maintained, but you just don't show up on the leaderboard anymore). Sadly it is not working like yo...

I'm not sure you can interpret the quote from xate as meaning that a player cannot discontinue use of one account and switch to another. So long a...

The reason I can only think of is that he gets blocked by many players. It is either because of his aggressive play style, or many just like me hating his act of using separate accounts to hide his real profile. Hard look in the mirror time for you. Let us be clear about what you came to the forums...

I see your points, thanks. I believe my playing experience against his accounts cannot be a valid proof and only BGA can catch him by IP address. He can still use VPN to hide his real IP address or argue that he participates each season with just one account. I guess for myself I can only ban his ne...

I notice that in a particular board game, someone has been doing this over 2 years. He creates a new account 1 month before an arena season, then makes it eligible for and many turn-based games at the same time and the upcoming arena season. He is skillful and does not have to do point trading, and ...
