In getsome's NFL analogy the rules are also clearly spelled out for each specific situation. We do not enjoy the luxury of such clearly defined rules to govern this specific situation. (If there are clear sentencing guidelines for this situation, then I am unaware and would amend my arguments in light of them).
My analogy was used for a very specific reason. That is, this appears to be a novel situation in which punishment precedence seems opaque at best. It stands to reason, that perhaps there is a preexisting concept that has already been well-developed that we may draw from. It is a cop out to think that just because it's a "game" that the concept cannot be applied.
Is my example necessarily more valid than any of the others presented? Emphatically, no. It was presented as material to consider and ruminate upon so that the discussion might be better equipped to handle the situation by understanding analogous concepts.

I've already spelled out the rules you are unaware of:

Global rules (read: enforceable in VP) concerning multi-boxing (IP exemptions) and exploiting:

Playing more than one character per server is not allowed and will be strictly enforced. The server will not allow you to log in with more than 1 account per public internet connection. Those attempting to do so will be met with an error message at the loginserver that states there has been a temporary IP block. If you legitimately have more than one real person playing from your connection, you may petition to be excluded from this limitation via an IP Exemption request in the petition forums. Please see the Support section of this guide for more information.
The server staff has many tools available at their disposal to root out people who violate this rule. Those caught will most likely be subject to a permanent ban (GM/Guide discretion).
Third Party Tools, Exploiting
We do not tolerate cheating on Project 1999. Any program that provides an unintended advantage or gleams access to information not otherwise available is very strictly prohibited. Please be aware that while other EQEmulator servers may allow the use of such programs, we do not. We have many systems in place to detect the presence and usage of these programs passively, with regular sweeps to purge users that have utilized them. This is typically a permanent ban.
Do not make the mistake that you may get away with it because you used it on Live Everquest. We put much more effort into the detection of these utilities than SOE ever did. You will be caught and banned if you use them.
The same holds true for exploiting. If you have the slightest doubt that what you are doing may not be intended, please cease immediately and seek clarification from the server staff. Failure to do so and discovery of your actions will lead to disciplinary action.
