ASGS guide

ASGS (Allegiance Secure Gameplay System) is the program that performs user authentication and cheat protection duties for Allegiance. It also provides error logging and chat logging facilities.

Get a New Account

If you already have an ASGS account, you can skip this section.

Note: Forum accounts and ASGS accounts are not linked. If you created only the boards account you still have to create an ASGS account.

1. Go to this page.
2. Read and agree to the Code of Conduct.
3. Fill in the form.
   • Note: You are limited to 3-12 characters of only letters, numbers and underscores and the first character must be a letter.
   • Note: Make sure your email is valid. We will send you the activation email.
   • Note: The Callsign field is not case sensitive: you cannot, for example, use the name "POOK" if an account named "Pook" already exists.
4. Click "Create Account".
5. You will receive a validation email from ASGS@alleg.net. Click on the activation link.

If everything went fine, you can now proceed to login.

Login

1. Open the Allegiance link that was created on your desktop during setup
2. Enter your login details.
   • Note: The Username field is not case sensitive: all of "Pook", "pook", "POOK", "PoOk" will be accepted.
3. Press "Login".

If everything went fine, ASGS will login within a few moments and you'll find yourself looking at Allegiance.

Alternative Callsigns creation

An "hider" is an alternative callsign that a player can use to disguise his identity, for example to rejoin a game you have been booted from. The procedure is very straightforward.

1. Create a new account as you already did. It is not necessary to use the same email address.
2. Log in with it.

If everything went fine, ASGS will recognize you logged in with this account from the same computer with which you logged in with your primary callsign and will assume the two callsigns belong to the same person. The two callsigns will be linked and ASGS will treat them as one callsign.

Never allow anyone else to login to Allegiance from your computer!

We automatically enforce a requirement of one player per computer. One player can play from multiple computers, but more than one player logging in on the same computer will cause Allegiance to link the accounts together..

Note: Each player is allowed up to three alternative callsigns. The alternative "hider" callsigns will be reset occasionally.
