A new addition to the rules

Alternate Account Etiquette

I think that this subject is such a gray area as far as rules are concerned. I think that as servers merge, and previously merged servers merge, this subject becomes even more relevant.

Here is what I've found to be against the rules regarding alts:

1) You cannot farm them for resource
2) You cannot steal subs from other players with them FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT (I've been warned on the threat of being banned about this one by support)
3) You cannot attack the troops that belong to that account for prestige (feeding)
4) You cannot use them to circumnavigate a mute from an expert
5) You cannot use them to transfer wealth or treasure to your main account

I'm aware that not all of these topics are agreed upon, and thats okay! The point is I think Thomas or support needs to make definite rules, post them in the help tab making them known to everyone, and stick to them!

Other gray areas (What does support think about these?):

1) Pinning with an alt
2) Using an alternate account as a spy in another alliance for the sole purpose of starving members when they're offline


Feel free to add to this list in any way you want. But as a quick note, i'm not trying to start an argument about what is right/wrong with alts, I just want the standard to be set by support so that the rest of us dont get in trouble for using alts in a way that we didn't know was against the rules.

It really comes down to not using Alts to avoid rules and limitations set upon an account. I think that's the most general way to say it. Don't use them to avoid limitations

I agree, but thats very idealistic. People are using them. I agree with you completely, but thats not really the reality of the game :/

If support get the proof they normally deal with it how they think they should

I had no idea! Sorry about that man... But thats exactly the thing.. if you had seen in the rules in plain writing that it was against the rules you wouldnt have done it (okay thats an assumption... but you get my point).
