Well, I'll give details if people are interested...a registration system that registers 1 alt and 1 main to an ip range (for dynamic ip, just one if static) at the beginning of a round..all other accounts under that ip get locked out until the new round when they can be chosen again.

so u r saying that i cheat? 16

and truth lets take scion for example, he has a brother who also plays on spaceo and if u limit the accounts per Ip ad u will be taking a hell of a lot of players away from the game just like scion's brother.

Well, I'm sure something could be figured out, didn't say it was perfect. Naw, your alts suck too much to cheat with.

This is the resaon we need in-game mods who have the ability of banning someone for 3 days, 7 days, and a month.
Each ban you would have to submit a reason either to Emi or to someone he appoints as head mod, personally I would nominate Tony, then they would be able to review it and revoke the ban, if inappropriate, as well as removal the mod's powers if abused.

Need an s-ship? If you have Gold just search Jangos, then select the price you want. If you don't have Gold just pm me for a design.

Just off the top of my head:
TNTTony, Cameron07, Spayed, and Kennequin to start.
Unless Tony was head mod then we could add MJ or Wiley I think.
Also its kinda a devious way to makes em play more as being a mod essentially gives them a responsibility to play ;)

its really not that hard to track and limit 1-2 accounts per IP... lots of games do it... and if you use more than one you get a warning that both accounts will be banned...  also a game I played before gives the option to share multiple IPs (aka friends living in the same house or dorm internet or something)  if and only if both accounts are upgraded...  but even then you had to request it... I'm sure some not a very nice person will abuse it in the end (as they did in that other game) but abuse goes from EVERYONE to maybe 3-5% and when it's that low its easier to catch and punish manually.
