you can always have a "family member" that uses the same computer as you ; )

I'd strongly recommend against what is being implied here.

That is a fantastic way to end up with zero teams.

couple things, i dont want to make a big argument with this.
And i was kidding, i wouldnt recommend cheating/ rule breaking as it takes away from the game


however, i'd like to know this:
Whats the real harm that can be done with one person having two accounts following the same rules as the family members rule.

over inflation of accounts?
server troubles?

I think if this were okay, the ENTIRE integrity of the game would be comprimized. Can you imagine the suspicion, second guessing, fighting, etc that would come from such a thing? It would completely ruin the experience.

i apologize then. didnt take into consideration the NT part of it.

I always wondered, my brother plays this game but we rarely use the same computer although I sometimes do when I visit him frequently and I have my own place as well so does that mean we can buy players from each other?

large amount of no with a little no on the side.

states it fairly clearly in the recipe book

I know 2 relatives really pissed off because they were kicked, with no explanation besides being a single person having 2 accounts. They just eventually log in from same IP/location (I think they had a transfer)
Its pretty dictatorial...so better keep it away

Probably they had a highly suspicious transfer.

I live with my brother, so we log in from the same place almost every day of the year. I remember being very worried about the situation because there is no way to state we are two different persons playing from the same place and I was afraid we could have problems with it. I sent a BBmail to the local GM for that purpose and started a thread in the forum of my country asking for help because, since a friend told us about the game we created our accounts in the same day with, I guess, like an hour of difference so we were placed on the same league but different conference.

What we have done is to completely avoid any transfer and scrimmage between us (except our first SC because we wanted to play each other ASAP) and we have had no issues with it since we started at season 5.

Still, there should be a mechanism to inform about this situations because several times we have wanted to make transfers between us (you know legal transfers with market prices, etc) but we haven't done it just because we live together.
