[Game Idea] Two for the price of one

DISCLAIMER: I do not approve of or participate in the vile act of multi-boxing. BUT, all the threads got me thinking....

Now that I got that out of the way let's begin.

10 players (Or 5, depending on how you look at it)
Balanced mining
Diplomacy IS allowed

Special rules: There are 5 people involved in this game but there are 10 accounts. Each player creates (Or uses in some cases) an alternate account in addition to there "Primary" account and played with BOTH. Basically 5 teams of two where both "teammates" are actually the same person.
It's a normal game in essence but everyone's multi-boxing.

I would prefer if your first account was your "Main"
You do NOT have to say who your second account is.

You MUST gift your queen if you have three or less outputs to the person who took the most from you.

EXAMPLE: player lists:
Nojo34
Nojo43 (Actually Nojo34 but a separate account)
Player A
Player A2
Player B
Player B2
Etc...

cool idea but I think it may be too easy to see which alt account is tied to which player.

A player cannot be online at the same time with his/her main and alt account. Using the online indicator, and some easy deduction, you can figure out the pairs.

Example: Bangerz is on. Nojo's alt is on (but nobody knows yet that it's Nojo's). Therefore Nojos alt is not Bangerz's alt.

Anonymous mode would help this issue a little bit. But you can still deduce if two players are not pairs, even if you can't deduce which is the main and which is the alt.

Although its too easy to deduce who is who, I don't think thats the point. The point is just to have 2 x outposts and 2 x hires and 2 x drillers under your control, which would be interesting. I'll join, but I'll make 2 more accounts since both of mine right now are currently in games.
So include me (but I may not be able to play, so make sure you have backups), and I'll be using TW2000 alt2 and TW2000's alt3

I understand it's easy to figure out who's who, that's not the point, it's just a little something fun. The real thing is that it's essentially five teams of two controlled by the same person

TW, could you PM me one of your account names for the link, you can give the link to your alt once you have it.

Im in. I'll create another account at some point, and set it up. Sounds kinda interesting though. And you are allowed to work with other players?
