I dont think its a problem, it can be annoying but its also a motivation to move into the galaxy. There are tons of empty recourse spots! |

In need of a DIFINITIVE answer on mult-accounting.

Recently went trough the contracts list and noticed some obvious multi boxers and some possible ones:
THE OBSIDIAN CHURCH
Divine Treasury
Gimli
Glowing
Diver
Horse
Sarah Inc
Victor Inc
I could be wrong and I don't mean offense. I dislike the idea of multi boxing but I am curious what motivates others to do so (possibly).
I can think of reasons but would like to hear from others. |

@Valhalla Alright Obsidian, was going by the Divine treasury name, sounded allot like a bank alt for the church 
Yeah I can imagine stopping people from multi boxing being impossible. But still if its not allowed those with "honor" or whatever to call might not use it. It just feels to much as a cheat.
For example: if you made a alt for helping with the upkeep of your army wouldn't that be feeding? In theory you could have double the army power you have now.
@Grandor
Speak for yourself, you cant claim that there is only 1 reason to make another account. I doubt allot of player will get bored with the logistics limit or finish line as you call it. You have indeed written many ideas about it and all of them create new finish lines.
Obsidian isnt godlike, compared to the general players he has allot of military power but I think that's because only a few are building/spending credits on military on the same lvl as obsidian.
Grandor compared with other players you are also godlike, have you noticed the credits in you account? You could also field a large army if you choose so. |

Dont know if its a troll reply..
But logistics is again not a problem. Just salvage/downscale on earth and you can move to the galaxy. |

Violation by Sore Cogs & Dragons Gear

Last weekend Sore Cogs Galactical attacked me with his alt: Dragons Gear.
This is his alt because:
-The way he roleplays with them in the following local comms:
*Public Warning: New Terrorist on the Block
*Renegades!
-Contracts supplies funds to this alt, I sadly don't have hard evidence of this only the following terminated one:
9159 Terminated Dragons Gear Sell Sore Cogs Galactical Sell Vegetables 2 at $250,000,000 each
I did see a completed one where a large sum of credits where transfered. If required this might still be available in the database.
Dragons gear attacked with fully upgraded Monolith, Heavy Bomber and Modified Varitek. No corp could manage to get those on their own so fast.
It violates the use of alts on these 2 points:
-Feeding another corp, Dragons Gear currently has $2,597,203,242 and lvl 10 fully artifact-ed: Monolith, Heavy Bomber and Modified Varitek.
-Making a corp just to attack someone.
I reached out about the attack to Sore Cogs and Dragons Gear but got no response. I suspect he made Dragons Gear to attack and avoid liability with Sore Cogs.
The RP started when the possibility of violation of alts was mentioned. Before that there was no RP. Dragons Gear never contacted me with threats or demands.
Please fill in the poll and share any thoughts you have on this. |

Ah well, ark wants to win/be right at any cost. Sad day for the community when ark places itself above it.
Days have gone by without any RP and only after the possible mention of violation the RP started. Which was more of a way to extort billions but probably was lots of fun for Sore.
Not to mention the whole reason of the attack was because Sore got mad about a game discussion and acted out his emotions this way.
This concludes it, I rest my case.

Yeah right, nice sneer. The fact still remains the same. The Rp was just used to avoid taking responsibility. He got caught with his pants down and start with the whole play-act. The RP was one sided and only directed to me, never he just manned up and said he made a mistake or offered any other real explanation. |

Well considering his rp was not received well it makes sense that it stopped. People do a thing called traveling for work as well, sorry that it does not fit your timetable
Nice strawman argument, my timetable is not a point of concern. Neither when the RP stopped, it is that the "rp" started when the violation of alts was mentioned. Its highly suspicious to make alt and keep it silent for days. and then attack a target you got mad about earlier. The RP is just a cheap way to cover it up you made a mistake.

Oh! Hi Baldur, you still here? Congrats on your tenacity. When do you intend to become active again? Actually no need to tell, since you're just a passenger on this platform.
By the way, the explanations were offered several times, do you need them again ?
- Baldurs Syndicate has no HQ which avoids it appearing in reports and renders its operation bulletins and reviews non-existent.
- Since its net worth is 87 Billion and its small amount of assets is barely active, a small raid was not considered to be really hurtful
- With all that wealth in its vault there was no security or military present to protect it or ready to jump in and fight back, meaning it was not because it is an easy target but it was to prove that with all that money you better at least invest in military means to keep your assets safe from raids instead of relying on others to keep and fight raiders and Machines away and at bay (you sort of play the role of a parasite). Static military structures are not sufficient, Raiders and Machines, and Kaijus alike, are also capable of destroying transports and freighters.
- All the accumulated wealth that is not spend could help support and expand the economy in general, yet it just sits there, it is capital leeched from the galaxy that could be put and invested to better use
- This made Baldurs Syndicate a justified target to demonstrate a different and possible aspect of the game .. as for the warp freighter this became an unfortunate casualty caught in the crossfire during the demonstration
- Because of the character and personality of Baldurs Syndicate's CEO we new we would receive plenty of coverage and exposure instituted by him, and we thank him for this too

I guess this is Sore.
I have never been inactive in the game the past months. If you see active as how much logistics your corps has: its upon players to choose how active they want to play this game. No one is forcing you to play so active.
Its funny to see that with the lack of arguments your need to insult rises.
Ah well, explanations are mostly excuses when a violation occurs. You got caught breaking the alt rules but your ego wont allow a simple apology or remorse.
The explanations where brought as RP, so as not being real. But since you posted them here, non rp thread i suspect that you really started to belief in them.
For the record I will answer the list. So that no other player should get the impression that these things matter, that would be Idiocracy.
-This is true, if your HQ is destroyed or salvaged, you will only disappear from the corporations-leaderboard report. The value of that report is mostly for comparing yourself to other corporations. Being absent from that doesn't impact anything, visit the corp view you can still see everything a corp does. This has never been a problem or concern to anyone. Playing without a HQ add a little more challenge to the game, you cant build your own ACP anymore and you lose HQ structure bonuses. I was curious as to how playable the game still was with out a HQ.
- This is a fallacy. One other cant really predict how hurtful a attack would be. I was fond the warp freighter, it was my longest serving assets being build when I first played the game. Its fun to immerse yourself in the game world.
Besides, it wasn't a small raid, it was a calculated destruction. The first wave consisting of 3 attacks, then after messaging Dragons Gear and without getting any response or demand, 3 more attacks. Only 3 days later after StarCorp mentioned Sore broke the rules the RP started.
- Another error in this reasoning. First I never asked anyone else to protect me nor do I rely on others to protect me. Don't worry, having credits on the bank doesn't mean you are a parasite. I didn't leach of any other corporations. My military was sufficient to defend/deter raiders. I have tons of defensive assets. And if it wasn't enough I would take my loss and rebuild.
The raid I suffered wasn't a normal raid. Sore decided he wanted to attack me and transfered enough units to steamroll over the defense. This was possible because he is one of the most powerful military forces in the game. Does this mean you have to build insane defense to defend against him? No not really, just don't upset him because his character is a tad unstable.
Also having a military like Sore says isn't required, its upon yourself to decide how you play the game.
- There is not need to spend capital on the galaxy. Every credit you make is something you have earned, Sore may call you a leech but many others wont. It one of the goals you could peruse i this game. Also there isn't much supporting to do, it just comes down to making credits. If the game had only 1 player he would be able to make plenty of credits himself. To really support the galaxy/community its best not to be to greedy, don't have to many research centers (sore used 6 for a long time), don't farm pve content just for the bounty, don't try to police the whole galaxy and push other players away. Its better for the whole to act with more empathy as to how other players play this game.
- This was no demonstration, everything that happen was already a aspect of the game and done many times before. This is just excuse inspired by the post from Seren. Besides this aspect has been suggested a long time ago. There aren't any wild demonstration happening in this game, Seren clearly states when new content is available and mostly tests it himself first.
- The last is just another of Sore finest, just a troll remark.
Players "demonstrations" like this wont happen, if something would require a test this would happen in good consultation with the concerned players. Like the arena event that was hold a while back.
For new and old players alike: this is a sandbox game, you are free to play as you like. You have no obligations to other players unless you make them.
On the violation of alt rules.
Its disappointing that DrDread and ARK disagree with this being a violation. Does this mean the alt rules are void?
We could have come to this conclusion sooner and prevent ARK from scaring away players in the past, during that time there was even less violation. It was just alts playing with each other.
The mayor difference now is that ARK is on the violation side. |

Thanks for joining the discussion Hutton. Well laid out arguments.
Can I propose a resolution to this?
There was a violation for the alt rules. The community has voted in favor.
There has been no confession but also now arguments as to why is wasn't abuse.
The penalty has been acted out by Star Corp and Sore already retaliated against him.
As a sign of good will i placed a HQ and will provide the galaxy with some Geo artifacts.
I hope this can lead to a end. I would hate to see StarCorp crushed. We all know its a cakewalk for ARK but please don't continue on this because the reasons for this conflict are to far apart. |
