04/23/12 - Additional contract restrictions and multiple accounts
Posted by Norman
|
We have added the following restrictions to company contracts:
Main, subsidiary and subcontracts:
- A company cannot bid if winning the contract will result in total potential contract penalties greater than the company's assets.
Subsidiary contracts
- A company must have 5 active drivers to bid (this was actually a bug which has now been fixed).
- There is a maximum contract size limit which is double the size limit for main contract bidding.
Subcontracts
- There are now size limits for subcontract creation.
For full details about the contract system please see the updated Company Contracts Game Guide.
Multiple accounts:
It has come to our attention that there may be some confusion about how many accounts each user can have. The rule is that you are allowed a maximum of 4 drivers per IP address, not 4 drivers each. This applies to every single location that you may access the game from. If you have other people at home/school/work also playing the game then it is 4 accounts between you, not 4 accounts each.
Up to this point we have not been very strict with this rule and so some people have more accounts than are allowed. However, in the near future multi-checking will be done automatically by the game. If you are in violation of this rule then this is your last chance to rectify the situation before accounts are removed from the game. If you have accounts that you need removing from the game use Settings -> Ask to be deleted.

03/31/12 - Jeff isn't thrilled
Posted by jefffan24

So it came to my attention what those 2 blank companies were being used for and lets just put it this way: I'm not thrilled one bit.
We had 2 companies without a name and the only way to join/get to them was to know what the company ID was. If you knew this you could leave your company join these ones with blank names, refuel/repair using that companies assistance (so it didn't cost your real company anything) and then go back to your normal company.
I consider this to be a loophole/exploit and something that should be reported to the mods. But also should not be continued to be used after it is reported.
So as of now these are the new rules and the game will enforce them automatically:
1. If you leave your company you can not join it again for 48 hours. No more leaving your company only to cost another company money and coming back immediately, those days are gone.
2. Both blank companies have been deleted and the 5 memebers that were in them currently have been set to not being in a company.
3. Anyone who has used this exploit (for the 2 blank companies) in the last 3 weeks will get a 12 hour suspension for each offense (refueling is one offense, repairing is another).
4. By the end of this weekend we will have official rules for both the forums and game. When they are done you will have to agree to them to continue playing and using the forums. We have grown enough that it is time for this.
If you get suspended and feel you have a valid excuse/reason please message one of the mods or myself on the forums.
Jeff
