In order to have an alt account, you must fill out the following application and send it to a single Moderator - this Moderator will be specified once the game passes review. After completing your application, this Moderator will PM you (likely) within 1-3 days, either accepting or denying your request. An alt account can only be used for a single game, then must be discarded. You may not join/spec/host/backup/vcbot a game on more than one account at once.

22. Do not tell other players your identity if you are using an alt and your game has not ended. If the host requires you to clarify your identity to them, you must do so.

This is to ensure that certain players do not have an advantage over others by knowing who controls an alt account. This includes all gamethreads other than deadchat if no dead-interaction exists and scumchat.

This should answer all your questions. Please read the OP and the rules

Rule 23 has been added.

@Luxy

23. You may only use one account per game.

You may not spectate or replace in on more than one account for a single game. If you are playing the game on an alternate account, you may join the public list of back-ups or spectators on your main account with the host’s permission - but you will not be added to the chats.

Thank you again for your patience as we find and fix problems.
Feel free to ask questions below.

[Marshal]

can you use 1 account for multiple games

I wanna b frankie

i see no reason not to be able to

[KyoDaz]

I want to be Gaga

[Chloe]

You cannot

We allow alts in order for people to play games without the burden of meta.
Allowing alts for multiple games is equivalent to allowing people to create secondary accounts, which we can’t allow.
The identity of Frankie is already public, so its basically the same as if you were playing on Marshal.

[Marshal]

lame

[katze]

besides

frankie good
marshal bad

[Geyde]

could you give other people access to already existing alts in order to game

[Chloe]

is this your way of asking me to free @BenShapiro2

[Geyde]

well yes but actually no

[MaximusPrime]

lol i remember being benshapiro that was fun

[anon97870008]

… you have read the OP, haven’t you?

[Geyde]

of course I’ve read the op
alts are only meant to be one time use
but recycling them could prove interesting

[Chloe]

After being put into practice and seeing how this affected games, the Moderators have decided to alter Rule 21 of the FM/FoL Rules, which read:

Do not discuss/speculate on whether or not a specific account is an alt of a given player.

From this point forward, it is up to the host’s discretion whether or not players are allowed to speculate on the identities of alt accounts, but unless specified, it is defaulted to not being allowed. It now reads:

Do not discuss/speculate on whether or not a specific account is an alt of a given player, unless the host allows players to do so.

---

Along with this, Rule 22 has been altered in a similar fashion. This rule read:

Do not tell other players your identity if you are using an alt and your game has not ended. If the host requires you to clarify your identity to them, you must do so.

From this point forward, it is up to the host’s discretion whether or not players on alternate accounts are allowed to reveal their identity, but unless specified, it is defaulted to not being allowed. It now reads:

Do not tell other players your identity if you are using an alt and your game has not ended, unless the host allows you to do so. If the host requires you to clarify your identity to them, you must do so.

I’m just coming here to state that I still find it stupid that we have to treat alts, specifically obvious alts, as new players. We aren’t stupid, we can clearly tell when something is an alt but just pretending for the sake of the game is just bad.

Honestly, alts are just bad.
