Ok, so you're raiding a lvl 2 barb and getting lots of resources.

Now imagine you have two accounts raiding twice the amount of barbs and sending it all to one account.

Novel idea, eh?

BBQ hit that on the head.

I was making an example of how things were.
*I* do not *HAVE* two or more accounts pillaging Barbs. I only have 1 account. I help the others in my home... the SAME as I help others in the alliance I am part of. The only different is they can walk over and ask for help or leave a note on my desk rather than mailing the request.

As for your example... I have a counter example...
What if i just kept raiding Barb's and sent all my resourses not need for upkeep to an Alliance member I was not related to? Hum? What is we assigned Abe, Bob, and Charles as the alliance heavies and everyone else fed them constantly.
We are not doing this, but the effect would be the same, right? It just would not be as seemless.


As for myself...?
I hit L5 Barbs with 3 of my 4 cities regularly. My forth city is still trying to prove it is worth the trouble to bother with.

As for the others in my household....
Do they know how to play? Well, yes. Yes they do. They did the quests and can perform basic functions.

Are they any good? That depends on what qualities and measurements your using.
They have fun for a while then ask for help with the annoying parts.
They don't enjoy getting raided and the 'strategy' aspect of the game is secondary to the 'in-house' competition over who has the highest level of which building.
These are the same kids who spent millions altering outfits on NWN rather than bothering to loot the mobs for XP and treasure like everyone else who played persistant NWN games.



As for the crack about their age:
The youngest is about to hit 14. The problem is not that they NEED to be monitiored. The monitoring is the solution to the problem that infests the internet. I do not want children under my roof to be tempted to participate with the BS and idiocy of the much of the 'standard' internet behavior.
So, if the fact that I have standards and expectation within my household troubles you.... I am very sorry for those effected by your standards and expectations.

In my household, we expect much of the rug-rats no matter their age and are rewarded for our consistancy on a regular basis.

Though I have a feeling that if we continue on the 'age issue' we will end up hijacking the thread and while I am not sure... Most forums have rules against highjacking threads.


As for the others in my alliance...?
Some are much better than I. Some are barely consciencous as far as I can tell.


You know... the more I think about this rule... the dumber it seems.
If a single player is abusive in their use of multiple accounts, sure that would be something to deal with. However, other than clear abuses, I see no valid point of limiting players.

I realize the original post was sparked by players acting as bullies with unfair use of multiple accounts... but bully tacits are not something anyone is trying to excuse. Bully tactics is something that needs to be addressed. However the passive use of multi's seems more and more benign the more I think on it.
