Thread: Spy accounts

    Simply saying "you are not allowed to..." but then not having any way of actually stopping it is ridicules! It's like telling people "you can only farm 3 lv10's per day!" but not putting anything in place to actually restrict people. As far as I can see, Evony can do NOTHING about multi/spy accounts and do not penalise anyone for having them anyway.

    As is the nature of any war game, spies play an important role in gaining intelligence.

    In my opinion Evony should just allow people to have as many accounts as they want which, by the way, people are doing anyway! This way no one is breaking any rules and no one has any unfair advantage.

    We have had alliances fall apart because one person had to have multiple accounts in the same server, one in one alliance and another in an enemy alliance, letting everyone know what we were doing. It is unfair to say the least, especially since it's harder to find a spy when they are doing it with multiple accounts. Everyone ended up being upset because this person pretended to be our friend and our family in our alliance, but at the same time was play another account at the same time helping the enemy basically destroy us and for what? It's a game and people have gotten to the point they take this too far sometimes. There have been cases of cyberbullying, reported to evony, and nothing was done. I have had to file a police report against one such person because it was getting way out of hand and i was getting threats that weren't even acceptable on any other website on the internet and were technically illegal by US standards.

    If someone has to resort to blocking someone because of behavior like that, then they need to be removed from the game environment.

    Let's replace "have multi accounts" with "abuse glitches", and see if you still believe the statement is true.

    Revised statemet : If everyone can abuse glitches then no one has an unfair advantage now do they?!?

    I wonder if those Multi-account users and Glitch Abusers can sleep at night? constantly looking over their shoulder for the Evony Police.

    Yes Ashanta, of course the statement is still true! As long as it is EQUAL for EVERYONE then nobody has an unfair advantage!

    Evony can not, and never will be able to, control multi accounts so why try?!?! Just remove the rule altogether and everyone's happy.

    Everyone would be happy? What are you smoking? If glitching was allowed, players would complain that someone was abusing a glitch in the game, and would not be happy about that. If multiple accounts was allowed, someone would complain that someone else with 4 accounts just leveled all of their cities. My guess is that if multiple accounts was allowed the number of players unhappy with the state of affairs in the game due to that would climb until Evony decided to ban them all, again.

    You simply do not understand what someone with multiple accounts on a single server can really do in this game.

    As I have said before, you will never get rid of spies in this game. I don't spy myself (I'm pretty well known on my server so I don't think I'd be able to 'spy')
    but I have had to deal with spies before.
    There are some standard things that can be done to minimize the damage done by a spy.

    1. Don't talk openly about war plans. Keep that on a need to know basis.
    2. Don't give coords in open chat, always whisper.
    3. Don't say good bye in open chat. Once it's known you are gone it's a free for all on your cities.


    Of course I would like to see Evony change the War Reports a little. The main advantage of placing a spy in your alliance is the 1 scout attack. The enemy sends 1 scout on a suicide run and gets a full report of troops and defenses in your city. Everyone in your alliance does.
    It would seem to me that in a more realistic situation, not everyone in an alliance, country, state, whatever, would be privy to that info. I think only officers or above should see the full report. Make it so everyone in the alliance can see that someone is being attacked of course, but not your troops count.
    It was suggested once (When I started a suggestion thread) that only officers and up get the full report UNLESS the enemy kills 10%. In this case it's no harm anyway because the attacker already got a report and the alliance members can see that this guy needs help. I like it.

    The thread wasn't about spies in general, the thread was about using secondary accounts to spy on other alliances to gain an advantage for themselves or their alliance over another alliance by using a shell account they themselves run concurrently with their main account.

    But, seriously, the thread should have been left on whatever page you found it on when you decided to necro it.
