If it works and you get two usernames, you know they're not multiplaying,
right?  And if you get the same username, it's at your discretion whether
you allow them to continue.

People who mud together in the same lab will often be undistinguishable
from one person multiplaying.  They'll group together, log on and off at
the same time, and won't use mud communication.

Sometimes when you're not sure about someone, you need to ask yourself if
multiplaying is hurting anything and whether it's worth losing a couple
players if you're wrong.

  "Police?"  Ashnak exclaimed.
  ""Uniformed officers of visible integrity who keep the government in

secret police.  That's the same as regular police, but without the
uniforms and the integrity."
