MaGneT Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I found a few threads about people moving to college and having other people on the same campus getting them deleted. Considering that I've been here for a semester, I'd imagine that either I'm the only one here who plays CN or there are different IP's. However, since the recent war has spiked my activity, my roommate has noticed the game and finds it really interesting and wants to begin playing at some point. I've checked the IP's, and he shares the first 3 segments of the IP, but the last one is different (say 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2). He obviously does not want to cause me any trouble as I've been playing for over four years, but he is interested. Would he be taking a risk if he created a nation?

Locke Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Is that internal or external? Internal will usually be 192.168.0.x. If they're only differing in the last set, you may be looking at the internal, which the game won't care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, that would be a problem. It's worth checking to see which IP you're looking at though.

Harry Dresden Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The rule is one nation per IP. However, we realize that that's not always feasible on a college campus. Many players play from campuses without issues. If your roommate creates a nation, you should stick to the rules relating to nation sitting which state that once two nations have logged in on the same IP, they can't aid, trade, or war with each other again. You will probably be fine as long as you don't intentionally interact with each other (and of course as long as you are actually two separate players and not one player running two nations and claiming the second's his "roommate").
