The Dangers of Sharing

[madmaniacal1]

Today, I have been seeing a lot of mChat comments about account sharing. Given the current state of the game, anyone sharing is absolutely insane, in my opinion.
The Risks:
1. Jailing.
Sharing is easily tracked once the team has a reason to investigate. Sharing accounts inevitably leads to the account getting jailed, once caught. If your friend that you share with ever gets mad at you, they can misbehave on the account to get it jailed, also.
2. Account theft.
If the other player you let use your account ever gets mad at you, and they have access to your account's password (or worse, the email), they can try to take access to the account from the original owner, or even worse, which leads to my next point:
3. Account Deletion.
If the other player that you share with ever betrays you, and they have your password, they can delete the account. Period. Gone.

The GM team will not give assistance to any player who encounters these issues because of sharing. You made the mistake, and must deal with the consequences.

Keeping your account secure is YOUR job. It is the player's responsibility to maintain their possession of the reset email, as well as the account password.

I think this is a perfect opportunity for us all to reread the game rules.

In this case, rule 4 is particularly relevant:

Real Life situation:

Car Insurance Agent: You left the key in the car, the engine running and went into the store to buy a package of cigarettes while the hitchhiker you picked up was still in your car. And you expect us to buy you a another car because you have Auto Theft Insurance. No, not going to happen, you failed to make sure your car was secure and left it in the hands of another person.
