[irishwristwatch0] Star Stocker - MultiKey ban?

[corban123]

Byond account and character name: corban12/ Star Stocker

Banning admin: irishwristwatch0

Ban type (What are you banned from?): all tg servers

Ban reason and length: You, or another user of the computer or connection (blashdude) is banned from playing here / Permanent

Time ban was placed (including time zone): 2016-12-03 20:48:05

Your side of the story: I turned on Byond to go play today, and when I tried to start the server, it said I was banned. I'm guessing it's because of an error I've been receiving every once in a while when I log in, basically saying that there's another person playing on my network? I contacted admins multiple times every time I'd receive the message basically going "Okay, what's happening", and they said to just ignore it since my network is just one that has a bunch of players on it. Not sure I said that right, but yeah.

Why you think you should be unbanned: Because I didn't do anything, I live alone, so no one has access to my ip address/network, and I only play on my one character. Hell, I wasn't even playing the day I got banned.

I'll talk to mso because one of your CID's has like 30 ckeys on it.

...What? How?

[MrStonedOne]

Generally it's pirated versions of windows spoofing hardware to fool windows activation into thinking it's a prebuilt computer so it can use the OEM bulk license.

This same spoofing of the hardware causes byond to give you the same computer id as other people using the same pirated version.

I removed the CID ban on the other accounts so you should be able to play now. If you can't either message me or a headmin so one of us can fix my drunken mistakes

[corban123]

Ahh, I think I may know why. I'm not running a pirated version of Windows, however, I am playing on my mac using WINE, which has to emulate windows, might be causing issues.

[oranges]

yeah wine will do it too

It looks like about everything is wrapped up so I'm going to go ahead and move this to resolved. Hope you have fun! : )
