The Main Rule
One BGA account = One person
Playing from the same IP
It is authorized to play at the same table from the same IP (internet address).
Warning: playing from the same location is a Premium feature. For details see: https://boardgamearena.com/#premium
The warning message "this player plays from the same internet address as another player" is a simple warning. It is a useful warning, because the other players have the right to know that there are players at their table that are able to discuss out of game.
If you want to play from the same internet address as another person:
- The best option is to not play at the same table, or play at a table where you know everyone.
- If you play with strangers, make them comfortable with the fact you are 2 (or more) different people: don't discuss the game outside the chatroom, don't collaborate (or do kingmaking) with your partner.
When some of your opponents are playing from the same IP:
- You may politely refuse to play with them.
- You should be vigilant and check that they are not collaborating during the game.
- You don't have to report them until they are doing a concrete kingmaking action. If you report some players saying that "they are playing from the same IP" without any kingmaking proof, we will close your report.
Boosting your ELO by playing against yourself
This is the most stupid and useless thing to do on BGA.
Why? Well, because this is very easy to detect, and because the penalty is:
- any secondary accounts are removed.
- your primary account is reset to 0 ELO for all games.
Why this is so easy to detect:
- When you start having a very good ELO, all other good players will look at you and your game history. In the game history, this is really easy to see how you manage to have a good ELO.
- In BGA, every game can be replayed. So if a game is suspect, anyone can replay it and check if this is a real game or a fake game.
- In addition to this, we are using some automatic methods and some technical information that allow us to check if "one person = one account".
- Consequently, it happens that some players manage to do ELO boosting, but at the end they are all detected and reset to 0. This is why this is a waste of time for everyone, and this is why this is useless.
