the "moderates" in 1649 chopped off the noble head of king charles the first. all moderators are partisan and everything is offensive. besides coercion, what is the hidden agenda for this new enforcement class measure?

thanks

Good question. I tried playing a game against myself to learn the rules because it was going to take me
really long between turns I didn't want to inflict this on anyone else. I can't remember if I set the game to unrated but I did concede/cancel the game after a few hands so that no scores were recorded. A person doing this to boost ELO is just so foolish I didn't even think of that. Anyway, I noticed that the system then put a note beside me for a while that said "Plays games against the same IP" or something like that. I suppose it handles the valid case where two people in the same household want to play against each other since that would show as the same IP? For this case there are probably other characteristics that can be used to distinguish the two people from sock puppet accounts such as playing against other players...
I do hope that this detection system can make an exception for unrated games so that we can learn the rules by playing both sides just like we do with the cardboard versions.
Multi-accounts (which are most often seen playing from the same IP) are only a problem when it has an effect on other players, for example by playing against each other to get the ELO of an account up, or going to play a 3-player game and teaming up against the third person. As long as you don't do these things, it shouldn't be a problem. Beware of king-making if you intend to play with others.
In my case, my partner and I will want to play 2-player against each other quite frequently, but we will be seen as coming from the same IP. I'm concerned that this may be seen as doing the wrong thing from what I've read on this thread. Should I be?
If so, I wonder if there's a way of identifying this particular case with some sort of flag between the two accounts or something, and some sort of proof system. I just donated after finding this place and having a ball learning Race for the Galaxy.. it would be sad if I couldn't involve my partner now

I cannot give you a definite answer, but if you want to be certain, play with ELO turned off. You will still learn, and you can use that knowledge when you play against other people.

Hello,
You can report them 2 different ways :
- At the end of the game, "report this player" link on the right.
- On these players profile page, "report this player" button at the top of the page.
