Terra, prestige referral, and YOU!

Hmmm, i think the game is affected once a player has effected it?

I agree with Rill. Since Ive played if there is one rule that has been made perfectly clear prob over all others it has been the 'two account rule'. Ive had numerous past accounts, some terras some not. Ive had to abandon, Ive made the sacrifices to assure I dont ever have more than two accounts at once. Its a tad disappointing knowing that players are monopolizing on a heavy gold-making business while having a main and an alt. cheating the game. 

Terraforming is a vital strategy in Illy. It allows players to place a city on an otherwise less than favorable tile near necessary sov or in an area strategically needed for war. I believe it is a needed profession and is in accordance with existing Illy rules and game mechanics. The problem of player referral codes and multiaccounting has been discussed openly in global chat enough to say it is now common knowledge not to do these things. Another advantage is all of those capital cities left after the terras abandon. They provide easy targets for those who want to practice sieges. Training alliances should be using them as targets for timing exercises. If GM StormCrow would please allow us to continue terraforming, I believe a solution would be to monitor the times a player uses the referral code. A more code involved solution would be to require players to license themselves as Terraformers, which would prevent them from using the code. Harsh, yes, but how many friends do we actually bring into the game? That would be worth it to me, since I have no friends.

It's true, the developers would have been completely justified in just bringing the hammer down on the rulebreakers.  Personally I think they're showing more mercy than people deserve.
