I've deactivated them for the moment. Would someone please inform the mods of any games that "now a ranger" is in?

Now a ranger is definitely not an alt.
Edit: Dang, I was in the middle of making a post at realizing what she meant. Yeah, that's possible.

I think the comment is that those three are really the same person. mith is taking care of it, I assume.

We have no ban on people having multiple accounts. The only time it's a problem is when people try to abuse them to cheat. Like having two roles in a single game or using alts to get around the rules of number of games, etc...

...which he
did
do. He also used the alts to deliberately sabotage games, and NAR himself screwed with a few wiki pages (which I found and mith and I reverted).

I think the deactivation was probably a good call. *shrug*

That's for mith to deal with... unless he asks for help. I don't think it's very valuable to discuss this without all the details.

I am currently playing a game that featured
Now a Ranger
. I know it is against the rules for me to comment on games while they are open, but I beg others to read that thread and decide if his actions were appropriate.

If he isn't a sock/alt I feel his IP should still be logged, and if necessary, action should be taken against him.

NAR is back, and playing in games again. Was it decided he's not banned? What's going on?

It's at mith's discretion and he's chosen to let him return -- don't worry, he's keeping an eye on the situation.

Ok, good to know. FWIW, in the games I'm in with him, he's seemed to be playing pretty much streight.

After all of the above:

I don't know how to edit my earlier 3 hours-ago message, so please don't put me on a list for a future newbie game.
Maybe this means that he is not coming back after all.

Maybe he's on a probationary status, and can't play in to many games at once?
