I have been punished. I want to go full disclosure because I didn't know this was expressly against any rules. I bought a second account for three reasons. First of all I don't mind supporting this game and it's rather cheap so I made a second steam account and bought a copy. This account I meant to use when my nephew visits. He wants to play what I play, first tanks and now this. The third reason was to use this account to slave for my main account, I even named the account "slavecrafter" so no attempt at anything underhanded was done. After just one day and 1000 slaved hours used I got a message from steam that the account had been marked with "fraudulent use" and my money returned to me. No warning and no questions asked. Everyone knows this account is not the only slave account on the servers. Most likely mine got caught because I used that obvious name and posted a "." (for trading) in Christiansted chat and was noticed and reported by other players. The report may have been sent to Game-Labs directly or some steam system may have been used, no way for me to tell. I think we need rules in place before punishmnent is doled out. Do Naval Action rules differentiate between accounts and actual physical persons? Are we allowed to buy more than one account? One account per person or one account per creditcard or paypal account? Are slave accounts ok as long as they're being played normally as well? (Mine would have been if it hadn't been killed before the visit of the intended player) I know I'm causing a headache right now, but I blundered into an offense I couldn't have known about. In many other games it is ok to own several accounts and use them as you please. Please, if bans are to be dealt out without any due process, we need clear rules. I advise you to be very careful with no due process reactions towards paying customers. Ask your friends at wargaming, they are very careful with such reactions, actually they don't have such a practice, they even issue warnings to cheaters when "physical" evidence is present.

I would be cool to just stroll across the deck, while you are sailing.
