Hello.
First, I oppologize if this topic has already been addressed before, I've spent some time reading the various threads and thread responses regarding IP internet addresses and trading/helping or not trading/helping various nations that have used the same network as you. I'm posting this, because I'm extremely new and still kind of confused.
I totally understand about not letting friends/family log in to their nations from the same computer/house so that we can still trade and help each other in the game without being accused of cheating. My question is about public internet networks such as Starbucks, McDonalds, those used by universities etc. that are very large and cover alot of area. I want to know how we deal with users who unknowingly use the same large public network. Example, if I log in using the wireless network at my university, and my friend does the same thing once and we don't realize that we've loged in from the same network and accessed the game from there, will we be banned for trying to trade/help each other? I just want to make sure I clearly understand the rules pertaining to large public wi-fi spots.
Thanks for your patience, and again, I'm sorry if I've asked something that has already been asked, and I'm sorry if I'm not clear enough in my question. Thanks for the help.

I go to a large university, and I'm afraid that if I continue using my university's network and another user has used the university's network, I'd be banned for using the same IP address as somebody else. I just want to make sure I don't make that mistake. Same thing goes for Starbucks, I know alot of people who play this game and go use the Starbucks network near my house, would I be banned for going there even if I don't know specifically who plays the game with that network?
Thanks, and sorry if this is redundant. I'm just trying to make sure I don't do anything to get myself or anybody else banned. I don't wanna screw up the game for me or anybody else tryin to play.
