> I don't see the "taking a break" defense as legitimate 'cause people use the "taking a break" defense as an excuse to log on their char that has the odds in his favor(taking a break from getting his ass beat).

> If you want to take a break, take a break from CF.

> As far as policing is concerned it would be damn hard.

> You can't do it by email for obvious reasons, you can't do it by IP 'cause then AOL users and college-lab users get the shaft. I'm not sure sharing your driver's license number, social security number, credit card number is such a good idea in this environment. How tempted would Sacer be with Chris Warren's credit card number? Not saying he'd abuse it, but how tempted would he be?

> The only thing I can come up with is money. Charge a one-time fee of $50 for an ID number. You then use that ID number when you log in. Name, password, ID number. Match the ID number with the IP for deeper policing so people don't then re-sell their ID number to others when they quit playing the game. Even this system isn't fool-proof, but it's a start.

> I'd pay $50 to play CF, especially when I think of all the money CF has saved me when I would otherwise be at Wal-mart or Software ETC. spending 40 bucks a pop on a game that I'd beat in 10 hours.

- I'm going to go out on a limb and say you look very stupid for saying that, PB.. because CF is a ROM codebase mud, and the ROM license prohibits charging, thus it would be a little.. illegal. n/t *snicker* 14:02:06 10/21/2000 (0)
