The more observant of you may have noticed that nowhere on this site is it stated that you CAN'T have multiple accounts per person. So, as a result, there will be no penalty for anyone who has done this.

But this is about to change. I'm busy drafting some 'terms of service' which EVERYONE must agree before continuing to use this site.

I am not saying one user per PC - so if you share a PC, then this is acceptable. But, if it comes to light that one person is using multiple accounts, then that is a different matter.

The main drive behind this is to prevent another Zach episdode - but it also has the additional benefit of stopping people signing up as a non-subscriber multiple times to play over 6 games without breaking the terms and conditions.

I hope you can all respect this decision - I see little reason to disagree with it. Consider this a notice that this will be coming shortly (possibly even today). Compliance will be immediate.

Sorry to get all forceful on you all, not in my nature, but it is for the best long term..πŸ™‚

Uhm, I created the accounts 'The Shrubber' and 'wingettbarchicken957' for peurile humour purposes. Can the vengeance be exacted on them, and not on 'royalchicken', since they made no moves?

Just to be clear here - I am not going to be issuing bans against people with multiple accounts - but I will penalise people who have multiple ACTIVE accounts if they continue to be so AFTER they have agreed to the new T&Cs.

Do not worry if you created a long dormant account - it will not effect you.

I knew it was you! wingettbarchicken957. Russ, I think you should remove royalchicken and make him play as wingettbarchicken957! πŸ˜€

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I for one will happily agree to those terms.

Excellent idea, Russ. I've never seen the necessity for more than one account. When people have multiple nicknames, it always looks like they're up to no good. Making everyone agree to a set of terms and conditions when they join the site, is long overdue.

agreed 100%.

btw, we don't share computers, but there are 4 of us who use the same network and gateway. does that appears to rhp as a single computer? i believe it must to our cable company, so i presume it would to the world at large.

in friendship,
