Multiaccounting on Tower Defence

[Caliditas]

Hi
I have a question: is having 2 accounts in the same team as one person considered multiaccounting?
In Tower Defence having 2 accounts in the same team is an advantage to you, but the team has a disadvantage as you have one person less to attack mobs, and he will place less towers and send less troops because 1 person has to manage 2 accounts.

It's probably considered multiaccounting but i think it maybe shouldn't. What's your opinion on this matter?

Thanks!

If you are able to do a player worth of help for a team, I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as you don't use it maliciously.

So we punish more for when alternate accounts are used to gain an advantage, as in taking up enemy spots so they have afk players or in solo games so you have an easier time winning and can boost your stats through killing it.
If the alt account is on your own team though, I see no reason for it to be punishable because it doesn’t really help you in any fashion.
So yes, using an alt on your team is allowed.

I am actually glad that you asked this question, and thanks to the moderator for giving such a straight answer. There are many players going around actually following and recording people into tower defence games that may or may not have used an alt on there team in order to get them a ban. Maybe now this will stop.

Granted /Share could give an advantage but probably not

Thanks mod for giving your answer! It is very helpful!

It gives you an advantage, but the team as a whole gets a disadvantage.

In games like team skywars you simply have 2 lives. Isn't that an advantage when you die?

You could see it that way, but if you see it as the 2nd account is doing nothing so you have to 1v(however many enemies) and then when you die, you switch. Not much of an advantage if you ask me. Much more helpful to just have a friend playing so you can have two people fighting at the same time.

Just look, you join a 2 player map and you rush with one account and you kill them both and rush until you die you just have to switch accounts and do it again. If i am honest i did it in 2016 too but knew that multi-accounting is against the rules and stopped. It's really OP if you are good at 2v1ing.

Who’s to say you aren’t generous

Also if you have just 2 others you could have 3 accounts just for farming gold o give you an advantage in winning
Remember your team wins if you win
So the more you benefit while affecting the team negatively
Also benefits them in winning capabilities

Then you only get a win with one account so it's less of a help to you.

Yeah i know, that's why i want to do it xD
Also, it used to be very helpful for votekicking if someone just wouldn't listen en kept on trolling and stuuf, you had a higher chance of succesfully votekicking him, but yeah, that feature sadly got removed.

No... Both accounts get the win. And it will help you because you have 2 lives.

Ah is it in skywars where you still get the win?
Yeah then it gives you an advantage, but in tower defence you can't die so you don't need 2 lives

 

[Caliditas]

But it means that you have a teammate less in team skywars so again the advantage depends on your skill

 

[Livvv]

The thing with this is that you could easy send some monsters from the other account, upgrade your goldmine and then give your main account coins so you can buy towers or send even more monsters. That would be pretty unfair since you got 2x more coins than everyone else in the game.

 

[Caliditas]

yeah, you get more coins, but the team gets the same amount of coins as it would normally get but there is alsways one account which can't react to what's going on (throw potions, attack mobs, place towers, ...) so it's more of a disadvantage for your team.

Not really since if you get more coins, you can send upgraded monsters faster and don't have to save up for that long which means that you would be able to spam with strong monsters and win.

 

[HurmitCurtis]

so it's more of a disadvantage for your team.[/QUOTE] i have to disagree with the disadvantage bit here, because its an advantage y else would u use two accounts? because u have to remember that there is a share coins in game....
