NationStates Jolt Archive

My brother and I both play NationStates, we both have UN Nations (both were just admitted), and we both use the same computer to play. I was reading the UN FAQs and I noticed that you are only allowed one UN Nation and the game doesn't just use the email address to find people who violate this rule. My question is, will that game get my brother and I mixed up and think we are the same person and delete our nations? If it will, how do we prevent this from happening?

Thank you for your help.

I'm pretty sure that if you play on the same computer, you'll be considered the same player. To my knowledge, there's no way to prevent the game from ejecting both of you from the UN. A commonly cited solution is to choose one of you to represent both of you in the UN, or just both resign from it. Either way, at least one of you should leave the UN immediately, or at least as soon as you get a mod response.

My question is, will that game get my brother and I mixed up and think we are the same person and delete our nations? If it will, how do we prevent this from happening?Yes. Almost assuredly it will. The easiest fix is for one of you to resign from the UN. You can either switch who gets to be in the UN, or both resign and make a third nation to be in the UN that you can share.

One of you needs to withdraw your nation from the UN immediately.

My brother agreed to resign from the UN. Thank you for your help.
