Account sitter

[Jesse710]

Is it against the rules to have somebody look after your account when you go away? I was just wondering because I am going away soon and I was wondering if my friend could take care of my games for a couple days, he also plays too. Thanks, Jesse710

No it's not as long as the person you get to play your games doesn't play any of the games for you he is opposing you in.

From the FAQ:

15. Can I let another player take a turn for me when I am away from the game?

You can, with the stipulation that the account babysitter is not your opponent in any current game. It is common courtesy to announce in game chat that another player will take your turn(s) during your absence.

This system may be changing in the near future though, so keep an eye out. There is some discussion of possible changes in suggestions and bug reports.
