PrisonPearl update

We have been working on some changes to some plugins for a while that are intended to address some balance issues in Civcraft, one of them was rolled out today in the daily restart.

This update involves PrisonPearl and has the following new features: If you log out and then log back in with another account that PrisonPearl thinks is an alt account within 10 minutes you will be kicked. (This is to prevent people rapidly switching accounts). If 2 or more accounts that PrisonPearl thinks are alts of your account are imprisoned, only the imprisoned accounts (if they are in the end) will be able to log in, the other will be kicked when trying to log in.

The alt detection mechanism may have some false positives and/or false negatives and if so will be refined over time, it is already significantly more complex than just IP detection.

If you believe you have been erroneously caught in this net please let us know via modmail on this subreddit.

The purpose of this change is to block players from using alts to escape imprisonment or otherwise gain abilities or information not possible with a single account. Players who are using multiple accounts to play as separate characters should not be impeded at all by this plugin.
