Another thread about WotM/WotC but its about replacements

[FakeGod]

I don't think there is an easy solution.

A mod can't ask the players whether a potential replacement is okay, because people can very easily abuse that system.

A question: if Bob joins a game not protected by Wisdom of X, and they start the game without a hitch, but Joe, a player Bob does not wish to play with, replaces in, then what should happen in this situation?

The only thing I can really think of to avoid this issue is for players to preemptively tell mods who is on their blacklist before any actual replacements are needed. As a mod I'd be appreciative of anyone telling me that upfront.

This is where we are currently. Unless the players pre-emptively tell the mods to exclude, replacements are basically not going to be screened retroactively.

Is this good enough?

What is the system for catching people who deliberately circumvent the alt system and create new accounts disconnected from their true mains?

I just refer them to Kison, and he tells me whether they are alts or not. I assume he does it using the IP used or something.

About the replacement thing, I think logistics wise it isn't feasible to take more time to verify with the players about a replacement - that's pretty disruptive, the game might need to be paused, etc, and will need to wait for the moderator and player to come online additional times (remember, prod timers are generally 48 hours on this site - it's not unreasonable to expect an extra 4 days for a replacement to come into the game if you have to verify with everyone, and then have the replacement online again at the right time

I agree with this. Replacements are disruptive.

Also, I'm curious, you're just being told whether they're alts, but not who they are, and do you just ask for accounts you're worried about or anyone you don't recognize

Whether they are alts or not.

I ask checks on accounts I'm worried about.

always modkill replacement requests
easy

Killing the slots that replace out will have serious impact on the game state, and it gives desperate people incentive to force people to replace for free kills.
