Wonder if it's allowed to...

Let someone else use your account when you are away for days?

I'm not talking about starting new games, just limiting the annoying missing turn and making others wait 24 hours each time.

Of course, a) the someone else would not be playing against you in those games and b)announcing this in game chat would be good manners, too.

... of course that is very doable. Just better be sure you trust the person to whom you give your password.

Yes, I know it's possible, and I know it would be unlikely to be caught for it, I was just wondering if it's against the rules.

It's no big deal to let a friend take your turns for a day or two, but you do so at your own risk. If your friend has his/her own account and continues to use yours, then your friend effectively has multiple accounts and they will be punished for violating rule #1.

You should definitely announce it in the game chat to avoid trouble.

I have done it once on a weekend...you do indeed have to trust the person you have helping you out and make sure they understand your playing style......

On the other hand, if they don't have their own separate accounts, it seems there's nothing in the rules prventing two (or more) people from all sharing one paid membership. As long as they could figure out whose games were whose, that'd let them all get unlimited games. Although they wouldn't be able to play against each other.

Bumping this up b/c I don't agree.... let's say you're in the SAME GAME (standard, not team) with the person whose account you're "taking over" for the weekend. You've basically made yourself as multi, since you get two turns and I'm sure you won't attack "yourself". :roll:

by **lackattack** on Tue Apr 25, 2006 10:38 am

yeah, you definitely can't take any turns for your friend if you're in the *same game*

take it easy wicked...

and i agree, its ok if the person taking your turn for you is not in the game, but never if your both in the same game

well I thought it was pretty damn obvious, but apparently not to everybody.

Isn't that what was said in the first few posts of this thread?

by **KoolBak** on Tue Apr 25, 2006 10:55 am

OK I'll play....

Lackattack.....I posted in the game I am in with you as well with my dad so you will see it anyway...shall I simply ignore it all together?

Shall I take the turn, deposit the armies and end, no attacking, simply to get the game on its way>

This is silly to worry about so much..my apologies for starting it...

By the way wicked. if it was his plan to attack me, that is what I would do..

Pretty dang petty to assume I am that shallow my dear...
