»Maverick Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 I would like to know if the SSC Network disallows Multiple clients. Now and then there are alot of people that multiclient. You see them in one arena in the zone, but when you do ?find :PlayerName you see that the guy is actually in another zone. Is it allowed or does the SSC Network has rules against it?
Dr Brain Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 I thought the SSC biller booted the first connection when a second one is made. I know that there is no issue with multiple clients and multiple aliases.
»SOS Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 Think again Logically taken, it should. But in reality, it doesn't. Can create quite a bit of confusion... who does a :bla:message go to and all that...
Yupa Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 I've seen one or two SSC members doing this, so I doubt they care (unless perhaps you're toying with bannable offenses, too).
»CypherJF Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Well 'cept for HS, I can't login with my name twice on SSC. However, you -can- login w/ 2 clients at the same time, just different names. Been there done it before (in a zone I was sysop of, of course )... And something is up w/ ASSS or ChatNet, but I can login twice under cypherjf, one in chatnet/hs and one in TW. however, the packets only get sent to one client; but once disconnected, it goes to the other.. so :shrug:... peace.
50% Packetloss Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Multiclienting is possible with the same name as long as you arent entering the same zone. For example, Imagine "criznittle" boots up winXP and then starts up 3 continuum clients, he can then enter Extreme Games, Powerball and Metal Gear with no problems. In actuallity, the real criznittle enters neer every single ssc zone at once. There is no SSC policy that says that he cant do this, but zone owners can decide whatever they want for thier zone so they can ban him at thier discression only in thier zone. The point of multiclienting in all the ssc zones at once is to rack up usage minutes. Criz has an amazing ?usage because he ASSS it all day long. Somehow he is also able to talk in 4-6 zones at a time too, I can bairly keep up with the conversation in one. For multiclienting in the same zone, you need 2+ different names (not sure how it works with ASSS servers). There are many zones that have rules about this and even some have bots that check IP numbers for offenders. SSC doesnt have a policy against this but you could find yourself banned for a long time from a zone that enforces thier rules. You wont be able to multiclient in the same zone with only one name (with subgame2 servers), the server makes sure that duplicate names dont happen plus it would be bad for bots as many botdevs keep track of players by thier names. An interesting idea though might be to have your name longer than 19 characters, I believe the biller allows names to be up to 23 characters but the game and the server only keep track of 19 of them. So if someone's name is 19 characters long, then you can add another character to the end of thier's and enter the zone with no problem. It will look like there are 2 people with the same name in the zone, and it might confuse the bots a bit too.

»SOS Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Oh yeah, that name trick is fun! Confuses the !@#$%^&* out of the server too. Commands go to wrong people, etc

Dr Brain Posted December 13, 2004 Report Posted December 13, 2004 Ok. Case closed. The almighty SVS has spoken.
