Regarding the anti-alt update:

From Exultant's previous post:

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

Let me see if I understand this: you're allowed to use alts (after a ten-minute wait), but if two of your alts are imprisoned, you're effectively banished to the End. Raiders* with imprisoned alts are going to be banned, but players using alts to manage grinders or farm will be left alone—unless, of course, their alts are somehow imprisoned. As I understand it, this update obviously isn't about universally restricting alt use; if that were the case, all alts would be restricted. This is update seems to target and remove raiders from this server. "But it only removes raiders using alts!", you say. Two problems with that argument: first, many raiders on this server use alts—they can't survive without them; second, that argument presupposes that using alts is wrong, but plenty of non-raiders use alts, and none of them are being targeted by this update. Why is it wrong when a raider uses an alt, but it's fine when a peaceful player uses an alt? I mean, they're both using an alt to perform actions that they wouldn't be able to perform with a single account, but only the raiders are being targeted. "Well, alt-using raiders ruin the game for everyone else", you say. Last I checked, Civcraft was "an experiment for communities, political ideologies, debate and discussion [...] forming a new direction for game-play, not just about surviving the elements, but about surviving each other, where players can work together to create and shape civilization or to watch it crumble." How, exactly, does plundering a city, razing a village, or robbing a shop ruin Civcraft? I mean, this server is supposed to be quasi-realistic, right? Why are we sterilizing it? Without raiders, Civcraft isn't going to have any conflict: cities don't go to war, and mobs aren't a threat. Civcraft seems to be turning into a novelty creative server.

*Let's stop pretending that raiders and griefers are the same thing—they're not.
