Multiple Accounts – Major Command Risk

Having multiple accounts at Major Command Risk game is against the Community Rules. In fact, creating one is against the number 1 rule of Major Command Risk. Doing so will get you banned. However, this hasn’t stopped many people from creating and using multiple accounts to cheat the system.

Through the investigative efforts of the MCICC, we have already banned numerous multiple account users. Up until now, finding and ferreting out multiple accounts has been a difficult and manual process. But I am very pleased to announce the newest member of the Major Command Risk team, M.A.R.T.H.A.

Martha multiple accounts risk game

MARTHA or Multiple Account Real-Time Heuristic Analysis is a 1.4 Teraflop, a super computer capable of analyzing millions of IPs, game theory, and behavior correlations in real time.

We have not run her at full capacity yet, but when we do, she will spit out a long list of suspected and likely multiple accounts which will then be investigated by the MCICC.

Do you have multiple accounts?

If you do, you have nothing to fear just yet.  You have one week to turn in your multiple accounts by making a post in the private support forums. If you do this, you will have amnesty against all bannings. If you do not turn in your multiple accounts, you will be detected, investigated and permanently IP banned without warning.

Once again, if you have multiple accounts you can either,

  1. Turn in all your multiple accounts by posting in the private support forums and continue playing Major Command Risk.
  2. Do nothing and get permanently banned.

If you are unclear about whether you have multiple accounts or not, it’s a good idea to make a post in the private support forums anyways, just to clear your name. Only top-level admins can access the private support forums so your posts will be kept confidential.

This offer is in effect until Friday, March 18th, Midnight, EST, which is when M.A.R.T.H.A comes online.

We would like to thank Evan and ORNL for the M.A.R.T.H.A integration.

New Asia Map – The Far East Map

Asia Map – Play Risk Online

We are very pleased to announce a new Asia map available to play Risk online for all classes. With the Far East Asia map, we introduce a feature that may trip some players up: some of the bonus commands are nestled within larger commands. Visit the Major Command Risk Wiki page: www.majorcommand.com/wiki/Far_East_Asia

Asia Map – The Far East

Asia map: The Far East map was conceived and developed by our own Cartography General, Shepherd.  With support from Major Command Studios and the Map-Screeners, it grew into one gorgeous map.

History

We didn’t want to go too long without somehow representing Asia in a MC map, but it’s such a vast continent with so much potential for a MajCom map it was difficult to narrow it down to a specific area. The primary mapmaker – Shepherd – wanted to split the continent into chunks that had some sort of shared historical or cultural identity. The “Far East” is certainly a western term, but it evokes a sense of foreign mystery that we hope we’ve captured in this map. The main gameplay feature is the inner commands.  Smaller bonus commands that sit within their larger parents, the Indian subcontinental and Malay Archipelago.

We encourage you all to give this one a shot.  Grab some tea, achieve a zen state of mind, then destroy your opponents on this beautiful Asia map.
