FPA and Alts

Patrik:
Re: FPA - I do not want "humans" to do these decisions, as we tend to be biased and it's a time waster.
The FPA script uses deterministic rules and quantitative information and is fair in that regard.
It also doesn't cost any energy.

If you suspect you found a cheater that was not yet detected by FPA, you can both report them to FPA and also write to the player

But very politely, as we are not sure he is cheating

Something like, hey pal, we noticed some strange activity on your account and I think you might be operating more than one. if that is the case it is against the rules and it would be great if you deleted one of your accounts ...

I say politely, because we should not automatically assume he/she is a cheater.

Question: "Sooo... We allow multiple accounts if they do not trade with each other, and we are waiting for FPA?"

Patrik
We do not take action unless there is large amount of evidence, yes.
I rather let 10 cheaters play, then delete a regular player by accident.

It's similar to the legal system in democratic countries, you do not punish criminals unless you can prove things beyond doubt, and yes, you sometimes let criminals go.
But I would argue it's better than the other way around.
