The game only knows accounts. We know people. Almost everything that looks strange in a ranking — a donation that seems small, a member who seems to be everywhere — comes from that one difference, so it is worth five minutes of your time.
- We count people, not nicks.
- Main fights. Alt is your second. Farm feeds them.
- A UB backs your own main — and can be lent to another member.
- Tell an R4 about every account you own.
What you can own
The person is the unit, not the account
A ranking built on accounts counts one member three times and calls it three members. Ours is built on people: your main, your alt and your farm are one line, with one total. It is the only way a number about the faction means anything.
Main, alt and farm
Your main is the account that fights — the one that shows up in a raid and carries your troop star. An alt is a second account of yours. A farm produces and feeds the other two, and it belongs to somebody who already has a main here: a farm shell is not a doorway into the team (see chapter 02).
A farm mansion produces one kind of RSS well and trades for the rest — ammo, cargo or metal. There is no such thing for cash or diamonds, so do not go looking for it.
A UB usually backs you, and sometimes backs someone else
An Underboss is a support account, and by default it is your own: you put it behind your main to make your main stronger. That is what most UBs do, all season, and nothing about it needs to be arranged with anybody.
It can also be lent. A member may put their UB at the service of another member's fight — and that is the exception, not the rule. When it happens, the account has two answers to "whose is it": the person who owns it, and the person it is serving. An R4 has to know both, or the team cannot say who is holding up whom.
What the team has to know
Declare every account you own
If the team does not know that two nicks are the same person, the roster lies twice: it counts you twice in the headcount, and it splits in half everything you did. Tell an R4 the full list — main, alts, farms, and any UB you hold or lend. It is never used against you; it is what makes your own numbers correct.
Your accounts answer for each other
The NAP, the tile rules, the way we behave in the city — they bind the person, not the nick. A farm of yours hitting a tile is you hitting a tile, and it is settled with you. Convenient in the other direction too: what your farm gives the bank counts as yours.
A lent UB is no exception. It stays yours while somebody else is fighting with it, and what it does still answers to you — you were the one who chose to lend it.
The faction counts people. Make sure it knows you are one.
