Basically no, accounts cannot be closed, and you will be busted as a multi. However, after you are busted you will be able to return by buying premium on your original account if you choose.jackals wrote:My question is, can I close/delete this account and use my old one to avoid multi-accounting or cheating accusations?
jackals wrote:Yes, not playing for 3 years and coming back and playing a new account for a few days... that is technically a multi. It is hardly, however, the spirit of a multi. If you have something helpful to contribute, I'm all ears, but trolls trolling trolls isn't what I'm here for.

Now the bust wasn't made just because of two accounts but he was playing games with both accounts.

Two points. First, the site rules specifically state that a user cannot have more than one account. Even if that user is not using the additional account(s) to cheat, the extra account could be used to subvert the limit of four games for non-premium players. In order to protect the revenue stream, the admins must prevent players from getting around the game limits without paying. Second, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that he is not "banned for life." If he wishes to return, he can pay for premium on the first account which will then be reactivated.jammyjames wrote:So what if he has played one or two games while both games are active.. To ban him for LIFE for this offense is fucking pathetic.. Please grow up and gain some sense of humanity..

I can't believe some of this shit that the moderators on this site pull.. Has this guy played against himself?? NO!!!!

If someone goes into a store a buys a pair of shoes and takes a second pair without paying for them, is that OK? Because that is exactly what jake was doing. Stealing the services that this site offers.jammyjames wrote:Absolutely fucking pathetic!!Evil Semp wrote:jackals has been BUSTED with kc-jake.

He shouldn't have been playing games with both accounts, but I feel like something else could have been worked out.
I think your Sympathy for this guy is misplaced. I can't remember my pass word so I will start a new account just doesn't cut it. He could have use the link on the log in page or followed the instruction after clicking the link. My guess is he didn't even try to contact admin to try to recover his user name. But my biggest concern is why did he start games on both accounts. Why not send a PM or an e-ticket once he remembered his old account information.VampireM wrote:i got to agree that its kind of a sad fact that the guy was banned... the guy was better off not to say anything and just stop using the new account... he could of deadbeated and let it slip into the back round... but because he tried to do the right thing u guys ban him... very sad imo...

This was his mistakes : not send a PM or an e-ticket, but post hereMy guess is he didn't even try to contact admin to try to recover his user name. But my biggest concern is why did he start games on both accounts. Why not send a PM or an e-ticket once he remembered his old account information.
He said he "changed" his e-mail address, which may or may not mean he did not still have access to it. If he couldn't remember the username, he should have submitted an eTicket asking for help instead of just creating a new account.Geger wrote: He couldn't use this, because he forgot his old email address too
The point was that he had active games on multiple accounts. Even if he remembered the info for the old account, starting games on it was definitely the wrong decision. The correct decision would have been to contact the staff (at any point during this process) to tell them that he wasn't trying to evade the multi rule, he had just legitimately forgotten his old account info.This was his mistakes : not send a PM or an e-ticket, but post here
About the games with both account : his last turn with the new account was on Tuesday. Then he remembered his "old" account and asked how to delete the new account. About 1 hour later he started playing with the old account (easy to see from his games). My opinion is, he didn't want to play with the new account anymore, and began to use his old account. The problem was he had 2 or 3 active games with the new account. Maybe he wanted just abandoned these games, but he must miss 3 turns (need more than 3 days). But he had only 2 hours before being banned
Also I think is fairer to ban only 1 account and warn the other.

If you find yourself locked out of your account after using the forms below, do not make another account. Instead, contact the General Inquiries department via the Help page and a staff member will help you out.
Most of the time when someone defends a busted multi the say "but he wasn't using both accounts." Well this guys was using both accounts I know it might be a stretch but I think he knows how to read because his old account made over 200 posts.Geger wrote:Okay, rule is rule
It's OBVIOUS the dude did not forget them. If he had forgotten he wouldn't have been able to use his old one...TeeGee wrote:you forget your username and/or password and changed email?? OK, it does happen, nobody will argue with that, but the instructions on the reset page are VERY clear

Don't feel sorry for this guy. He knew what he was doing.
Let this guy slide will open another possibility to abuse the rules. Although it was hard, but like I said before :Evil Semp wrote:

If I had let this guy slide then the next guy gets busted. I would be accused of not being fair.
