    hi, I don't believe i have abused any voting. I only vote on one account. My housemate also lives in the same household, but we whitelisted when we first started playing.

    the vote logs point out there's many days that all the votes are being done by the same person with a few seconds up to a minute in between to change IP addresses.

    Looking at login history theres sometimes 10 seconds between Mildoo logging in/out and erktwerk logging in/out on that same device indicating one person knows the details to both accounts.

    the IP address on forum account sunshinemome briefly matched that of hoagie and erktwerk but was quickly switched over since they arent supposed to be living together.

    It doesn't seem to us that this arrangement follows the mapleroyals rules

    Hi Tim,

    For a period while we were taking a break from the game, erktwerk and I used a shared laptop to vote as it was more convenient than booting up our desktops. We realized that we could change the IP address by turning the wifi on and off, and because we were whitelisted we assumed that this was permissible. We each have our own browser profiles, so the process would be to just vote on our respective browser profiles, close the browser, disconnect the wifi and reconnect it to change the IP, pass the laptop off and the next person would open their respective browser profile and vote. Since you can just bookmark the voting website, and our browser profiles have our respective accounts remembered, this could be done pretty quickly. If my mother's voting habits aligned with ours, it was probably because I would remind her to vote whenever I remembered.

    Our desktop setups are right next to each other, so we can swap setups pretty quickly. It's not physically impossible to swap our setups in seconds. We don't share our account information.

    My mother comes over to visit every now and then. Usually she has her own device that she accesses her forum account on, but sometimes she does use our devices when it's more convenient. I don't believe this is breaking any rules as we don't share any account information.
