so, one of the ways the admins keep people form cheating is to see if multiple nations are set up from the same ip address. however, will accessing my nation from a variety of different ip's also throw up warning flags?

Not a mod here, but let me clarify something. It is LEGAL to have more than 1 nation. It is ILLEGAL to have more than 1 nation IN THE UN. And if you arent in the UN, you're relatively safe from anything.

It's not the only way they run UN multi scans, there's other factors, too.

I'm not a mod either but I think I can say with some certainty that accessing NS with a variety of IP addresses will not get you into trouble.

As Lapse already mentioned, lots of people are given a different IP address every time the use the net, and I lots of us access NS from work/college/school/home or whatever (and have been doing so for well over a year now) and don't have any problems.

Nothing wrong with accessing your nation from multiple IPs, most players do.
