emperordhruv Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, I just want to make sure real quick this is allowed so I don't get banned as I have been part of CN for almost 5 years now. :) So my sister saw me playing today and got semi-interested (fingers crossed she decides to play), and was about to make an account when I stopped her. The thing is, we are under the same wi-fi network as she lives home and so do I. We both each have our different laptops though. Now I don't know if this violates the ip rule and I wanted to make sure it did not. Again I'll go over what I know for sure. We both have our own laptop however we both use the same wi-fi in our house. If we are allowed to make the accounts as long as we each keep to our own separate computer what will happen if we decide to log in on our phones? We both own smartphones as well. She has an iphone 5 and I have a galaxy s3. Also am i able to send her money/aid ever or will I not be able too? I know how much 3 mill can help when it is a smaller nation receiving it. Again, sorry for the bombardment of questions but I don't want to lose my nation of 5 years over something I might have overlooked.

Tom Marvolo Riddle Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 No problem as long as you don't trade or aid her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliph Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sam WIFI network means same WAN, which means same IP. Unless they've changed the ruling of it better off having her use her phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illidan Stormrage Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 No problem as long as you don't trade or aid her. This is incorrect. Multiple nations from the same network are not allowed as the pinned threads and rules indicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperordhruv Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Alright, I'm not sure why I thought that nations created on separate computers = different IP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Marvolo Riddle Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 This is incorrect. Multiple nations from the same network are not allowed as the pinned threads and rules indicate. Then why aren't people who play this from college and go on the same Wi FI network getting banned? Why aren't people who play on public computers getting banned?

Why aren't people who play on public computers getting banned?There playing Russian roulette with almost all chambers loaded. Or just check out beforehand if it is a shared IP, if other people play the game, or other options I'm not at liberty to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Kermes Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Don't do it! You could get banned and forced to start from zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperordhruv Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Alright thanks guys, although at one point I think Admin should revise this rule. It stops people from playing such as my sister. Or friends from playing. Anyways thanks everyone for your replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfrancos Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Admin should revise this rule, i was just thinking about device mac addresses being different, one account per device. May work, possibly just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt2k Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 It was allowed, it was horribly abused, it was changed Same wifi = same IP Shared IP such as net cafe's and offices, well with all the people in the world and all the offices, schools and net cafes, what are teh chance of two CNers using the same one People from schools have been banned before I know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helbrecht Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Don't do it! You could get banned and forced to start from zero. Actually if you get banned, you don't get to start from zero. You don't get to start, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoryproblems Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 As it has been previously stated, it's a no-go unless you want to jeopardize your years of work. And it's really alot more stringent then that, if she starts playing, she would need to probably avoid ever logging in from anywhere that you have ever logged in from, library, school, home, etcetera. I'm not sure how long the game's logs on that matter goes back, and you might be safe on very minimal cross-contamination (as in, having both logged on from the same place, but very infrequently) if you never traded or aided each other, but I wouldn't take the chance myself. When I first joined CN, I remember hearing about how in the very very early days (sometime in the first six months), that it was compliant with the rules to have more then one nation. Then quickly admin changed the rules to just one, but I believe those who had more then 1 were grandfathered in and allowed to keep their second nation provided they followed a few rules. For quite some time then, the rule was that different people on the same network could have separate nations, provided that they sought approval from the moderation. It was a good idea, but it was incredibly abused, so it was done away with, and the rule has been 1 IP. 1 Nation. Period. for quite some time. I sometimes think that perhaps some kind of change would be nice on this front, giving more people the opportunity to play, or hell, even giving people the opportunity to try their luck with a second nation. In the present age of the game, things are significantly slower then the once were, and more nations would likely equate to more donations, which I'm sure would help extend the life of the game (something I'm sure many of us would like), but it's a delicate issue as there are some things that aren't worth the drastic reduction in quality if it's not done right.

chongjasmine Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think it will be nice if different people of the same network are allowed to have an account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt2k Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 No way to prove they're two different people It was allowed in the past and as I said, it was horrilbly abused by people. I used it myself as my brother also played, we registered the official way, however when the rule changed, he stopped playing, however he did start playing again for a while when he moved. I have since moved several times and he's in another city. You can't have systems based on trust, because people will take advantage of said trust, even the no aid or trade thing is easy to work around My secondary account sends 3m 50 tech to friend A, friend A sends 2.5m and 45 tech to my Primary Account, keeping 5 tech and 500k for their troubles. Bypasses the same IP aid system, but still has one nation purely for funding another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonshy Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) I think it will be nice if different people of the same network are allowed to have an account. Admin should revise this rule, i was just thinking about device mac addresses being different, one account per device. May work, possibly just an idea. Also, I believe it can be helpful, if the same-network restriction was enforced by where you sign up, rather than where you log in. Say I sign up at home. Then somewhere along the line, I start playing from office/uni and introduce it to colleagues, who sign up at office/uni. That shouldn't be restricted IMO. Or at least, provide a chance to prove that we're different people. Edited April 16, 2013 by Dragonshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vom53 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 According to the rules, it's not possible unless the rules were edited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongjasmine Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 It is just too bad that some people will abuse the trust placed upon them. Otherwise, I can introduce my brother to the game. But now I can't, because he is in the same network as myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardo Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 The IP requirement severely limits the number of propspective players, and unnecessarily so. The focus should be on user uniqueness and that can be established many ways.- Paypal- Google+- FacebookOr any other source that establishese a reasonably positive user identity.

Proximus Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah, I find it funny that the game is constantly bothering me to refer new members, but none of the people I would like to refer can even play, because we're roommates. The two seem to completely contradict each other. Obviously the game isn't growing from its natural appeal, word of mouth is the best way to do it, but our word of mouth ability is severely hampered.
