Dedimania forum

Yes i think this needs to be cleared up also.
If someone was to go out and spend £20 per game and buy 5 = £100 why shouldnt they be able to race these accounts how they wish, after all they did pay real money for them.

Some people also buy new accounts so they can earn more coppers to play in solo with.

Also i know of a player who sells Trackmania Coppers for real life money, now is this not fraudulent?? Avoidance of tax etc. Someone who sets up a server and gets many donations from players then sells them for Euros?? that doesnt sound good to me

why?  Becouse wy have right & they dont know now what to say.

Because I have a life, and not always time to reply right away, especially if a post requires a bit more thought. And then I got distracted with another possible problem.

You can. But if you do, you're pretty pathetic.

As mentioned in the other thread you selectively quoted from, "I do (ir)regularly scan the database for triplicate+ nicknames on tracks, but (as the word implies) only for three or more identical nicks."
There is no hard and fast rule about this, and I haven't recently talked to Slig about it (who's been sorta MIA for weeks now, even by email). Not everything can or should be captured in rules, some things are just common sense and social behavior.

It's common sense that semi-monopolizing a track's record list with several or more accounts is frustrating to other players, both in seeing the same/similar nick all over the list, and in leaving fewer slots for other players to gain a top-30 spot. Yes, you may be such an awesome driver that you can grab 15-20 spots, but actually doing it would demonstrate a rather anti-social personality. You could just as well demonstrate your ability by driving top-10 times on 15-20 tracks, and be a more accomplished and all-round driver for it.

So I occasionally scan for triplicate+ nicks and prune all but the best time, primarily to give other players a chance and level the playing field a tiny bit. But it's something I spend little time on, and as you note it would be easy to circumvent. All I can do is appeal to your conscience: do you want to be a nice, versatile player that masters tons of different tracks, or a jerk on a few?
