Actually you can tell. A few months ago I joined a game. The host used something to check my IP address. I was a bit aghast at all the information he had on me but of course the information shows what computer you play from. If two supposed players have the same info then someone is cheating. <hr /></blockquote>I know the only way is reading your IP, but most hosts will not do that and BTW Randallw : I am looking at my screen right now and when I look to the left guess what I see? " A second computer "
So if somebody wants to cheat he will cheat !!

Again my point : If all game-members agree I do not see the problem why we shouldn't use more userid's

Re: New Game Idea!

Why not proportions, I think it is suited for your game proposal. And yes it is slower but much more realism........

But if not proportions I will go for Devnull.

Actually you can trace the IP back and find the rout to each one, compare them and then find a common ISP being used to determine a cheater. (Only way the ISP will tell if it is a cheater is if it is a small time ISP, otherwise there are thousands of Verizon, etc out there)

Granted it is alot of work but you can find cheaters if you are willing to do the work.
