Title: F.I.B.S. multiple accounts allowed ?
Post by: PlayHunter on February 07, 2012, 02:06:05 PM

I was wondering if we are allowed to have more than one account ? I mean only one account per person, but multiple accounts per house address. (for ex. 4 accounts, one for each person living at the same house address ?)

Directly to my case, I would be interested to know if my mother is allowed to create and use one account since she lives in the same house with me and therefore she will log in her account from the same IP as me ? (I do not intend to let my mother play from my account because I do not want her play to affect my rating.) Thank you !

At one stage 3 of my children were playing on my IP, and Patti had no problem with it at all. I told her that its my 2 sons and daughter playing and she was ok with it. maybe it will be a good idea just to mention it to her

Patti says no multiple accounts. The reason being that a lot of people in the past have abused Fibs with multiple accounts by using them for cheating. to advance a rating. As long as you do not cheat, she probably won't mind, but I would mention it to her so that she is aware as Tanika says. :)

You are allowed multiple accounts per household, so long as each one is owned by an individual.

I've been a little shoot-on-sight with multiple accounts lately, so it's best to let me know if you're doing this.

Also, the best way to reach me is via email or FIBS message (pattib AT fibs DOT com, or message Patti), since I don't check FIBSBoard all that often.

Thank you very much, yes I will do so. :cool:
