The things which give a player an advantage over another player:
- spending (more) money
- spending more time
- having more experience (or being a faster learner)
- being in a more helpful alliance
Those sound fair to me! I don't pretend I actually spend 22 hours a day on the game, or that I'm more "tactically inclined". If I get my account rocked by a better player, good on him! If it's rocked by a computer posing as a person, or 16 people that are actually the same person, you are breaking in-game rules because you don't have the talent to face me one on one. You're not playing the game, you're inserting the Game Genie and showing me your high score claiming you beat Super Mario the same way I did. IMHO.

You would think that if someone is going to take the risk of multi-accounting, they would not be so obvious about it. I mean, if you're going to pick names like that, why not just report yourself to Evony and be done with it?
I could see it personally, in fact I was discussing with TC about how once upon a time I was told by my host to start multying or be booted from my alliance. Turns out he had CHEATER1 CHEATER2 CHEATER3 and so on, and requested we do the same. (obviously his name wasn't cheater lol).
