Chris and Helio, I suggest moving your conversation from the public space into private chat or mail. Do not feed trolls and lurkers.

Chris, I dont think anyone doubts your immense contribution in improving Warlight by leading many important community initiatives. But many have noticed that you take a "moral high ground" stance in many so-called scandals and often point to problems and issues other clans have faced. So in this context a scandalous player as Gruffone is joining WG does look quite hypocritical, wouldnt you agree?


Any way, on topic about alts:
There should be an option on every players page to see a list of all accounts frequently accessed from the same IP.
Also there should be an option in game/tournament creation to enable or disable alt usage. Basically if turned on it would allow only one account per IP to join. Coin games should have this auto-enabled.
Of course proxy usage will always be a problem, but this would help somewhat and highly decrease the number of "alt scandals".

A flaw in the 1 account per ip system

A guy has 2 accounts on 2 devices one on each.

Then he something goes wrong on a device and can access only one account.

What if both accounts were important to him?

The "1 account per IP" system would be only for joining games and tournaments that have it enabled (like clan league or coin games, maybe some ladders). You would still be able to use several accounts from the same IP, just not at once in the same game/tournament.

I know this system would have many flaws. Just a proposition to start discussing.

Tbh , your idea has a lot of potential . I was just pointing at the many flaws it has. Maybe more feedback should make you reevaluate.

I remember Fizzer mentioning once that he liked to keep his alt-tracking capabilities opaque, since if people know how he tracks them it makes it easier for them to circumvent his tracking.

I don't think I completely agree with him, but that's what I remember his position being.

Hey, keep feeding the lurkers!
