My household includes my family and my business partners family.
-My children alternate between my home and their mothers home.
-My children are not allowed to use their personal e-mail for online services and games. I require that they use one of my e-mails so that I can monitor the content of the messages. There is also the point that I am online many times throughout the day and many online messages have a time requirement that would be missed since they do not have easy internet access at their mother's house. By using one of my e-mails, I am able to keep their responses current and timely while insuring that the content is appropriate.
-While they enjoy the game, they are not the best at strategy. I am often asked to sit with and advise them.
-We play to have fun, not to harrass others. Any PvP activity is only against non-responsive and apparrently inactive players.
-I provide aid to anyone within my alliance. They provide the aid they are able when they are able. This behavior is the same relationship of aid and assistance that everyone in our alliance shares.
=My business partner and I share a home to keep our expenses low and focus our available income on our business.
=She and her family also play here.
=While her children are not migrating between households, they are held to the requirement to use e-mail accounts that can be monitored for the same safety reasons I stated above.
=Their accounts have been less lucky and repeatedly raided. As the first of our household to start playing Evony, I am much further along than anyone else in my home.
*None of us are militant in our relations with other players.
*Our girls often ask me to handle the communications with hostile players because they often feel intimidated by the power-punks. Rather than have them give up on the game, I help them out since I tend to foster more friendly reactions when writing back and forth with once hostile players.
*Within our household we have 7 desktop PC's and 2 laptops. When everyone is home we often have all 9 computers up, routed through a single Clearwire home tower and burning a hole in Clearwires bandwidth.
While I can see where the potential for abuse exists, I do not view our situation as an abusive arrangement. We do not treat each other any different than we treat other members of our alliance.
