2 Accounts created only for safe third one - against the rules?

  • Question about the rules:

    Two players created accounts solely to block an entire solar system and secure a moon for a third player. Around 90% of their total points come from Astrophysics research. Once they reached the Astrophysics level required to colonize seven planets, they simultaneously colonized every available planet in the system and immediately activated Vacation Mode.

    Assuming it cannot be proven that these accounts are multis, could this still be considered a violation of the rules under the provision covering other forms of behavior that go against the spirit of fair play?

    I'm not asking whether this is definitely punishable in this specific case. I'm asking whether the rules provide a basis for treating this type of conduct as rule-breaking, even if it does not fall under the Multi Account rule.

  • Dear waszaklf.


    Thank you for sharing your question with us and we are always happy to answer your questions or to remove any confusion.

    for your question, unfortunately, there are no violations in this; everyone plays like this and its a fair game.

    Noob around the universe :thumbsup:

  • You call that a support account.


    That also works for a "full moonbreak": you position your support accounts, wait, and then—in a single night—everyone strikes at the same time. Boom.

  • It doesn't really matter. We talked to him; he shouted and made some threats for a bit, but in the end, he did some self-reflection.



    BTW

    Thanks for the reply. I didn't know everyone played that way—I never created accounts to block solar systems. I asked around in the alliance, and they hadn't done it either. But then again, maybe everyone—except us and the rest of the universe—actually does play that way.

    You don't create them yourself...you have someone else that isn't playing actively in the uni (or community) do it for you. It's usually done on a "quid pro quo" agreement where someone manages a system blocker for you in your active uni, and you manage a system blocker for them in their active uni.
