This whole thread and this post in particular are quite troubling to me. The whole notion of multiple accounts is suspect to me.
No, "we all" do NOT know those accounts are from the same people. Where would I know such information from? there is no pub we all hang out in. I only check the forum on occasion. What about new players? You are setting up a set of people that know some are playing fast with the integrity of the game that know each other and those who do not.
Is there a place where I can get this information from? Can we get an announcement that it is encouraged and condoned from the admins?
Personally I do not understand this behavior whether there is indiscretion or not. Why not own all your numbers? Why would you actually need two accounts if not to play under two names? This behavior flies in the face of honest behavior and integrity whether it's being used for dishonest purposes or not.
Further, participating in such behavior and announcing it on the forum encourages it for both good and bad. I would ask the game veterans to consider and reconsider what they are up to here.
Is it really that hard to play one account and just be who you are?
While I have stuck to a single account here so far, I have no problems with those who have multiple ones, as long as they let folks know about it. Therein seems to be the crux of the problem; those who've been around awhile have learned who most of those are, but the majority of players probably don't know.
As a simple solution towards improving transparency, I would recommend a posting thread where those flying under multiple names could share such. This would at least give public notice so those who read forums would be up-to-date on the information.
The problem is, I suspect a fair number of players rarely, or never, read the forums, so would remain in the dark, but they'd only have themselves to blame in such a case.
