I have been playing CC for a few months now. I have two sons, 9 and 11. Both would like their own account. Can I sign them up as well, or will that count as multiple accounts and get us all banned??

They have their own internet access, so its not as if we will even be playing on the same computer (but we share the same wireless internet connection).

Exactly what are the rules here??

Eslwick.

Make an E-Ticket about it, and don't play any standard games against your sons, and don't let them play standard games against each other.. keep it to on the same team or not at all

My brother plays with me too, you just need to make sure the site knows about it, so you don't get wrongly busted for being a multi :)

This is not entirly accurate, but the following is>
About the rules

15. Can more than one person play from the same computer?

The short answer is yes. Our Multi Hunters are pretty good at distinguishing roommates & family members from people with multiple accounts. However, some members prefer playing only in team games with people from the same computer to avoid accusations of cheating.

less official:
Do not sit your your children, do not start games for them. They can ask you for advice, but you cannot log in under their name and fix things for them. Teaming up with your kids in the same team is allowed. playing an more player game against your kids is frowned upon, because of relationships

This reminds me of a post I noticed on the "shop" page of this website. Some guy at a camp or something who had kids who all played on the same computer whose accounts were all deleted. Did this ever get straightened out? It's right on the first page of the store and it looks really bad lol. Anyway, this is the sort of thing that people are scared of.
