Side Account Limit Please

So, Storm is off at his grandparents for Easter. Since they live in a time anomaly putting them about 50 years in the past, they've got no internet, so he might not be on much for a day or two. And you people claim time machines don't exist...

I'm just hanging around eating all his snack food. Unfortunately, the price for that is writing this entry. Considering how much he's got around here, though, it's probably worth it. Plus I get to lie around and do nothing the rest of the time he's gone. Laziness is fun...

Besides, I read up on W-H a bit more since last time. Call me a quick study. And Storm left me some good notes, too. Apparently the more people he insults in an entry, the more views he gets? Maybe I should try that sometime. Not today, though.

So, apparently I'm supposed to write about side accounts. At least, a side account limit.

I'm going to assume all of you know what side accounts are, and probably have one or two. That's fine. Even Storm has a side or two, although he only uses those for testing things and doesn't seriously play them. When I asked him about it, he said he never really got the point of playing multiple accounts if he could just get all the XP on one account, and that leveling sides doesn't help his pack anyway. But whatever.

I'm not sure who has the most side accounts on W-H, nor do I really care. I mean, I'm just doing this because I'm hungry. And bored. But anyway, apparently some people have over 40 side accounts. Isn't that a bit of overkill?

Apparently you people like to make a few sides for the names, like naming them after error messages. I suppose that's understandable... when I remember you're all insane. Not the point, though. Having an account or two just for the names is probably fine.

Remember, you're only human - weak, soft, fle- I mean, you can only play maybe five side accounts actively, and you probably wouldn't do very well on those. Although there have apparently been a few people who managed to get multiple high-level sides. But for most people, you'd never need more than two or three to play actively.

But I'll say five, for the sake of easy numbers. Gotta make it simple, since Storm says most of you people can't count past 14. Not sure why. And I suppose I'll say five accounts for the names as well.

You'll probably never conceivably need ten side accounts. Most of them will just rot, and help contribute to how your site has thousands of accounts but only maybe a thousand actual players. But that's your choice.

Still, enough is enough. There should be a side account limit of ten accounts or so; even Karl has mentioned in the past he was considering it. Whoever Karl is. It'd keep the number of accounts down, save server space, and make the staff's job easier. After all, it can be hard to tell who's who when somebody has forty accounts, especially if they have access to multiple IPs. And just about everyone should have access to multiple IPs from time to time.

If you ever get your referral system working, it'd probably help there too. I mean, apparently you people like to use your friend's ref links for sides. Not against the rules or anything, but it does mean people can get the ref honours without actually referring any new players. And I suppose somebody could technically get fifty refs by just talking to fifty other players and having them create a side. With no limit, everyone could get it... I'd try that, if I actually played W-H. Or cared.

Logically, I don't see any downside to this limit, either. Of course, since you people aren't logical, I'm sure you'll find flaws in this. Whatever. I don't care. I did my part; doesn't matter if it was a short entry. I'm going to go clean out Storm's freezer now. I think he's got some cookies & cream ice cream in there...
