Primary account/secondary account

Postby antonis on Thu Nov 06, 2008 7:02 pm

Many players use more than one accounts. I strongly believe that only 1 account should be allowed to join a gang, and the rest should be marked as secondary ones, and thus they should not be allowed to join a gang. If the player is not satisfied with his primary account, he will have to either keep playing with that one or restart, but he should NOT have the option to switch players withing a gang. That fact creates an advantage compared to players that dont have more than one accounts.

Hmm, I seem to remember you switching your characters in and out of MiG last set with more regularity than you changed your underwear. So why this sudden bout of morality that has stricken you? Where might it have come from?

I think it might be that your enemies have now turned that trick against you and now you will pout and throw a tantrum. You are nothing but a class act, as always.

the way you are thinking reminds me my little cousin, who is 10 years old. grow up, grow up.
you have to start thinking like an adult if you want to be competitive in this game

You are totally right. I should have a sense of humor more like yours.

This is something that needs some limitation indeed.

There is a problem to marking anyones account as secondary. Although there exists such terminology, it is not that accurate when you attempt to analyze the whole situation in Booty Master.

If you read the rules page (updated today to reflect this thing):
* Associated accounts are not able to attack ganged people. This is to prevent abuse as some people can use secondary accounts and target specific gangs. The main character (the one in a gang is considered as a main as you can only have 1 in a gang) will be able to attack just as usual.

So our problem now is that someone can do it the other way round. Keep his secondary in the gang and join up later with the "main".

There are many solutions that I have in mind for this but right now I will keep my ears open and my mouth shut. I will give you some more time to chew on this.

Finally, I would like to add that there already exists a sub system which allow us to see all "suspicious" activity one character might have and so far, with the few switches that took place this set, there was nothing suspicious involved.

BTW, in my opinion the rule should be: secondary accounts cannot attack primary accounts. and not only the ones that are members of a gang. it is quite difficult to play solo due to the structure of the game. i can't see any reason to make it even harder.

As for switching accounts into a gang,i have no idea if what i suggested is easy to be done, but i think it's correct.
Or an alternative, the first account of each player that enters in a gang, that should be the only one that can participate in gangs, even if it's "primary" or "secondary".
In any other occasion, even if the player switches accounts only once, if it is well planned, it can lead to abuse of the game

So you are saying that it is possible for a person to take their main character out of a gang, putting their secondary character in the gang and then later join the same gang with their primary character again without putting their secondary out of the gang again? This meaning that the person would have two characters in the same gang? Perhaps I misunderstood this but if not this is a serious offense. Can you clarify this?

No. You misunderstood me. I just stated the problem without mentioning profanity.

Profanity? I don't get it. There was no profanity that I am aware of. Perhaps we are simply miscommunicating here :).
