If two users log on with any of their Callsigns onto the same machine then both accounts will be linked.

If one user uses two seperate machines (or more) both will be tagged as belonging to him. Now anybody that logs into either machine will be linked to the first user.


You DO NOT want this to happen because the ASGS system thinks both accounts are the same person and so will only allow one user to be logged on at the same time.


What does this mean for you?

  • Don't log onto someone elses computer using your callsign - use one of their Hiders instead.
  • Don't let anyone else log on to your computer using their callsign - make them use one of your Hiders.
  • Don't give your old machine away to someone if they're going to play Allegiance on it.
  • If you've got a 2nd hand computer and aren't sure if it's linked to the original owner's account, make a new Callsign here and log on using that. Once you've successfully logged on, sign into the ASGS website and check if it's been linked. If it hasn't, then you're clear. If it has you need to get unlinked from the other user.


If you do manage to stuff yourself PM Tigereye and explain. Once he has some free time he will unlink your accounts.

Unlinking accounts does NOT mean that they won't become linked again. Don't keep linking your account to your best friends just because you're a moron - it's been known to happen.
