Me and my son will login from the same IP for this game sometimes. This is a pre-announcement of this fact.

Good you brought this up zsigy.

My son is also interested in joining.  Provided he remembers to sign up (I remind him from time to time :-) ), we might end up having a shared IP address from our end as well.

Would it be worth announcing your son's name? I presume there will some sharing of information and likely to forming an alliance...

His account is zselyb. We do not plan to make an alliance, but some information change obviously and inavoidable will occur. However, it even may possible that we will be enemies...

Thanks for sharing this info!

It's no problem as long as you minimize information spill-over (please don't show each other your map) and also inform your allies of potential risks for them.

Luckily we've never had big issues with players who join a game with multiple accounts, though in the early days there has been one suspicious case. So any players whose IP's may cause suspicion are urged to explain their situation here.

My sons account is Richard_lynx.  I play as Sweden and he plays as Estonia.  Even in our case some information exchange could occur but I think the chances that that exchange would have any effect on the game at all is very, very slim.  As far as I can tell, it is very unlikely our countries (or any alliances we happen to become part of), ever get the opportunity to interact.

Hope noones is troubled by this.

(Regarding how the two of us on happened to decide one's country to play: We both live in Stockholm in Sweden, but have Estonian roots as my mother is from Tallinn)

I don't there will be any trouble - just good to know before hand.

BTW: Even if your nations are separated by some distance, do not be surprised if LARGE alliances end up forming :-)
