valid Easier way to switch accounts + better account security + multing reduction

[TakeAShower 300]

My idea is that each player would have some sort of "Master Account" which would contain all of their alt accounts including the main one. Optionally, players could have their master account name in brackets after their real name (Example: [Clan] Nickname (Master Account Name)). It would be impossible to log into more than one Master Account without using a different PC or clearing your cache (or at least all Tanki-related stuff in your Cache). This would mean that more than just being able to stop a mult, you could identify whitch Tanker is behind this network of multing, or, if they use a different PC, at the very least Tanki can take out multiple Mults with one shot (like a Thunder). This would also mean that Youtubers such as Skill-Pavlitos and Viper_Monster who do Road to Legend videos can have all of their accounts connected to an email (therefore making them more secure). Both master accounts and the accounts (maybe rename them profiles or saves) that they contain would have seperate passwords. On the Forum, Test Server, and all other simmilar services, you would link your Master Account (to stop people creating multiple accounts just to upvote or bump their topics).

Multiple accounts, multiple master accounts... this makes things way too complicated with very little benefit. Professional saboteurs would quickly find a way around this system so all it would do is make names even longer in chat, making it harder to read.

 

I don't really see the point.

I am confused already

It would at least make it possible to secure multiple accounts from hackers. And while it may not stop multing, it should reduce it. Of course, to entirely stop it, some kind of A.I. would be needed.

I suppose you could think of this as a new tab where you hold all of your accounts, and can switch between them by just clicking on them.

 

The problem is that is one of them is hacked, the hacker can get all of your accounts, which makes the process for getting back those accounts a lot harder for the tanki staff.

[TakeAShower 300]

Each account would have its own password. So this would not be a problem. In fact, accounts would be more secure, as you would link your master account and therefore all of your normal accounts to an email, making accounts more secure.

Hope make it happen.

There will always be loopholes man. I could link all my alts to 24 (yes I do have 24 alts) maater accounts and still be able to mult like I do now :ph34r: So no, it still won't work. Sorry man. And if you are talking about the fact that IP adresses will stop me doing that, there will be some people who would download DDOS or VPNs to change their IPs. So yeah, won't work.

But, Tanki could see that all of these mults were connected to the same Master Account. And ban the master account. So yes it would.

[r_trooll15 827]

Didn't I mention that I conneced 24 mult accounts to 24 different master accounts? xD

You said 28... :|

That would be impossible, as you would have to clear your cache to switch master accounts. This would force a page reload, meaning that only one master account can be logged into at one time.

[TakeAShower 300]

VPNs work you know :ph34r:

But you would still need 24 PCs to use them all at the same time...  If Tanki can eliminate all non-millionaire mults then they have probably seriously reduced the problem.

No, I do have a VPN which changes your IP every few mins. I used it when I was onholiday in China and the guy who invented this free thing must be a genius :lol:

Even then, only one account could be logged into at any one time. So this would still solve the problem.

[TakeAShower 300]

Your idea depends largely on IP addresses to work, so no. It wouldn't.

Here is what would happen:

You log into master account A and begin multing. Now, you try to log into master account B, either to place another mult, or to put your main account on the enemy team. You cannot do this, as it is stored in your cache. Then, you wait a few minutes, and you can log in with Master Account B, but, oh no, your Master account A has been kicked out because you are using them in the same browsing session!

(I know how to view the user's browsing session, including all open tabs, just with a little JavaScript by the way; the command is Session.replay().value() you can also close the tab using Session.close())
