Default Re: Slynky\'s Demise

well, no, because part of the risk on anonymity is someone screwing with the system. You don't want to have a system wherein people can play multiple positions, or otherwise get wacky. So you'd want a system that opaquely mapped actual email accounts to a player position, so other players only saw the player position but the site admin could have code that ensured that only one email account per player existed.

Of course, anybody could just go to yahoo and set up two accounts, but at least you're increasing the cost/annoyance to them to do so.

Although, thinking more, anybody caught doing this would likely be seriously blackballed, so I doubt anyone would. And, hey, we all love to play fairly - why decrease the challenge by cheating...
