Two noobies unable to play together :(

No, I can't make that assumption. I wish I could. You're talking to two middle aged people who have frequent afk for various reasons and in her case joint trouble too--severe enough these days she can barely play her shaman anymore. So we make it as obvious as we can when we're on that we're separate players and hope that's good enough, so far it has been, but we're never at ease about it. At any rate I don't think it's ever a bad idea to try to make the staff's job as easy as possible.

You're being overly paranoid. Unless you are boxing your wife's character, she will be at the keyboard when they ask her to do a box test. If she's an able-bodied human at the keyboard, she can pass the test.

Yeah totally unreasonable to expect that 1 of 2 people gaming in the same household may have to afk unexpectedly and be unable to perform a random box test. Are you really this dense to not understand this is a possibility? You REALLY believe in the history of P99 that nobody has ever been falsely banned? That it's a totally ridiculous thing to even consider?

You're somethin else my guy

Except that's not how it works. If you haven't been boxing and the staff are watching you while invis then they aren't going to suddenly be suspicious of boxing unless you start controlling the other person's character while they are AFK. So you can mostly avoid this situation altogether by just not touching their char while they're AFK.

I agree cd288, your post mirrors my own experience. Taking the measures I described previously, the wife and I have never been subject to additional testing. It's fairly obvious to anyone who sees us that we're who we say we are. I do not believe the staff are out to get anyone, and while mistakes can happen, we can minimize those mistakes by being aware of ourselves and by making their task as easy as possible.

Loramin, you're out of line because you're making too many assumptions. I spelled it out previously, so step back, re-read, and recognize that I have fair reason for harboring what you called "paranoia." Or you can ask via PM if required.

Have you been subject to additional testing while not taking those measures though? That's the real question of import here.

If the answer is no, then you can't really say whether or not your measures are doing anything aside from calming your own nerves about the possibility of being accused.

It's like Lisa's tiger repellant rock.

Obviously I've had thought myself any number of times. On the other hand, we know others get tested, usually when they're sitting there with one or both characters none-too-active, so chalk it up to what you like: luck, obvious behavior, or maybe the staff just likes us and leaves us be. Take your pick, could be anything.
