Signing up your Mother/Brother/Daughter/Sister/Great Aunt Claude and
play the nation yourselfe, while playing another nation in your own
name, just to win the game or ruin for one side, ain't defendable but if
one person is helping another in the same team and sends in the orders
shouldn't be subject for an "investigation".
In ME18 I'm helping a newbie and I have to write his orders myselfe to
see the best way to do some things while talking to the guy over the
phone/ICQ. When the orders have been set and the turn must be sent, I
send both ordersheets in with the same mail.
I guess that a mail containing orders for 2 nations, played by 2
different persons can be suspicious but from the previous mail (below)
it is allright as long as I don't use the other nation as a "tool" to
win.
i.e get more pop.centers, materials, characters etc, for free.
