    A player has two accounts online at the same time right now, Name and Name1. He is tpa'ing and /tpyes, and other fun things, like instantly coming back to contest his death loot while his other account sits in jail after dying.

    Can we make a rule that only one Account is allowed online at a time please?

    Edit: Enforced by checking IP logs. Other servers do this.
    Edit: It won't be done automatically, this is something that staff would do to ensure that this doesnt become Alt Wars.
    @Lord_Roke Please make a note when you edit your post, otherwise it gets confusing about what you said, and what you have added later. Thanks!

    Such rule would not be enforceable so there is no point in creating one. If this would be done automatically, siblings living in the same house or friends meeting up in real life could not play at the same time.

    Too be honest, I do the exact same thing on both my alts. Whenever one of my alts are in trouble I tp in considering one is a slave and the other one is the beefy guy. Rest assured, I don't do this with my sheriff account. Only my two drug dealing accounts. I don't die too often and both my accounts are usually at the same place already. No reason for there to be a restriction unless someone is crazy enough to bring ten accounts. I can guess who the alts are from your story because this guy has four alts all at WG and the moment I kill one another one gets on... Then another one. Till I die or win.

    Then do this manually. There aren't two people where one AFK and second plays, then the playing dies fighting then first fights. It's not natural that one comes after another and wins the side which has the most alts. Wild West is going towards war of alts, nobody who has one account wishes this, it looks like cheating. Most games has multi-accounting forbidden for a reason.

    Well, rip me. Doing it manually would be difficult, the accounts could be siblings still. Those games that forbid multi-accounting means whenever one sibling plays that game, the other one can't. Sharing accounts, is just a way to get banned if the sibling can't play legit. One account that seems like an alt could actually be coincidence of a sibling going to for example eat a snack.
    Though, siblings are slightly rarer to find then people on an alt. There could still be the possiblility.

    This is merely taking advantage of resources. Unless they are using a hacked client to their advantage, the staff team quite literally cannot do anything about it.

    It very well could be two people playing on two different accounts, so what? I let my friends play on my alt too if I want. I've used my main and my alt concurrently in the past to remove suspicion (but lord it is so so laggy to do that).

    Slightly off-topic, but can I just say that this is hilarious when it happens to a sheriff? It's like a massive chain arrest or chain kill in rebel bases.

    Annoying, yes, enforceable, no. Though, Rimiks was banned off of Wild West, and he keeps playing on his alts Rimik and Rimiks1 according to @Eil

    According to @xxMacroSheepxx *
    Eil got some of the information off me and he is both accounts, including Guubook (if he didn't change that name already)
    Not much can be done about it though. If he is banned off his main, his alts can be banned. (3 unappealed bans)

    Well I actually guessed the information, you just confirmed it. GuuBook is now called Rimik1, and 158 is called Rimik.

    What is the point of selling Unban fees?

    The Banned player might lose some money or items, but if they can just log right back on with an alt after being banned, why bother banning the first account, why not just wipe their money/items?

    And yes, to drop all semblance of subtlety, this thread was a result of watching Rimik and his alts.

    Rules can just be put in place to put off people from doing it - if the rules say you'll get banned for alting like this, people are less likely to do it even if there's no reliable way you can enforce it

    I'm very self-confident. :V
    People still alt anyways, there's not a "less likely to do" considering you can get a countless amount of minecraft accounts off a certain website. It wouldn't matter how many times they would get banned.

    Any accounts purchased from those "certain websites" are being locked by Mojang.

    Some accounts don't get locked, in Wild West it's usually the same person on those accounts.
