]]>I think the advantages of dual accounts are being severely underestimated here, you can get 10k quick and easy anytime you want by using your secondary to club vulnerable family members in the poor houses and then suiciding in your main house and the chills can be easily bypassed by 'stashing' the bounty in a easy picking poor house. Not to mention how you can also use a secondary to do risk and cost free scouts on any of the bigger houses you want to rob or lock the dogs in your main house in whatever convenient positions you want them to be.
Yes it's easier / no it's not godlike power. They will be able to get money faster, but they won't be able to build good house just with money (brain is needed). Yes they can try to rob houses with second account to stack bounty, but they can also give the bounty to someone else if they die during bounty stacking. Having money and more attempts to rob someone does not make them better players. Their house will still fall and they will still die from doing mistakes. Yes they can use secondary account to make their house unsolvable, but that is nothing super cool as it can be done even without having second account (I've built house that forced first robber to move in a way that when he got to the vault all dogs, cats, traps would stay in a state that I wanted them to be).
Yes it makes their life easier - no it does not give them invulnerability or xray vision.
EDIT: If you have brother/sister/friend that also plays this game, you have exactly the same advantages.
My point is that everything that you mentioned just shortens their time to get money and build house. Yes it is advantage, but only time advantage. Nothing that can't be achieved with single account after some time. I have never used second account to gain such advantage and still I'm able to get to the top page with each house that I build. What is their advantage against me? They can put down my house faster - and what? That's what this game is about - your/my house is supposed to fall. I enjoy building new one.
Possible code change that would make it harder:
Only family members killed in a house with at least $4k value will add to a robber's bounty.
Thematic justification: (sad parallel), poor people can't afford to offer incentives for revenge.
Community change that would make it harder:
Start protecting your families, and clubbing easy to find families.

To anyone who is confused about the point of this guys behavior:
He initially viewed the game as a challenge of wits.
He got his ass kicked.
Disappearing quietly in his own shame didn't sit well with him, so he came on the forums proclaiming the game to be broken and asserting that to be the reason he was quitting and not that he got his ass kicked in an attempt at appeasing his ironically overinflated ego.It'll be alright son. It'll be alright.
As someone else said, multiple accounts are exploits in many MMO's. Everyone else deals with it too from time to time. Yeah it's an advantage, but it doesn't turn you into a top player for $16. If you think it's that OP then get one yourself and show us your #1 house on the board.
Will sit down for it on the weekend 2 days should be enough to make a 1# or 2# house

I've only been playing this game for a few days now (at least that is how I perceive the time passed) and already I am addicted. I knew there was potential for enjoyment ... This type of gameplay is rare...and I can't stop. When I first got it, I spent two days almost continuously playing...

I am getting a bit bored with my place...
Emotional, compulsive personality is emotional and compulsive.

This is one of the more w00t moments for me...it's like being 3 again ... I like this game ...

TheCastleDoctrine was fun while it lasted... Does anybody else think that using alt accounts to fund brute force attacks is akin to masturbation?
Have fun wankers!

Guy, are you trolling? It is as if I am arguing that the sky is blue or that the earth is round and you are straight-faced denying it...it's moronic.
My statement stands ... The game is broken, and as such merely provides an illusion of gameplay as expected ... any previous enjoyment was derived under false pretense on the part of the developer. The only players that can enjoy this game are those that exploit the broken game mechanics and prey on others, and those poor creatures that can't see that the game is broken.

What a shame I didn't read this before - I just made some tea and burned myself with hot teapot, cutting my finger with knife I held in the other hand. Thanks god he gave me 2 hands - if I could I would buy other 2 just in case.
Thank you for your advice!
I read this seconds after I cut both my hands (and my feet) off with the sword I left in a bonfire for an hour. Good thing speech-to-text exists.
