Duplicate Usernames

So I have an Armor Game account, and just for Gits and Shiggles I tried logging onto VortexWars.com with my Armor info. It wouldn't let me but it did let me create an account with the EXACT SAME NAME!

There are now 2 Bounty42s, one is level 10, one is level 1.

Profiles are not carried across sites. For example, if you went on Kongregate, you'd end up having to make a profile there as well.

The problem is I could go onto one of these sites, and create an account called Chess435, and start playing draw games and using lots of profanity, then everyone blames you for it.

I can see that there are 2 different accounts with username so any such harassment would be quickly discovered... btw I have 3 accounts ;)

if you have three account then you clearly must also have two accounts (plus a third one)

Yes, if you have 3 accounts then you would have 2 and another one. And you would also have 1 and 2 more.


So does this mean that you can't play VW on the main site and play against people on Kongregate or Armor Games?

no, that should not be possible, you can switch between them but you can only use one at a time

you can only be in 1 per Computer. I guess if you're running a Setup with multiple systems you could play against yourself, but that sounds like a lot of work for very little gain.
