Iamrisen, the IP limit is there specifically to stop people from doing what it is that you are doing. (and also to make money)
Now, doubtlessly there's a way to get around that limit, but that doesn't mean you should, otherwise, the next extravaganza will be me making a road trip to the SETI branch I volunteer at and making 10,000 scouts with flare guns on our vast web of IP's. Now, I could divert them to seperate suburbs, and simply hire a buncha hobos to play them and bypass the zerging rules entirely, (After all, each set of 100 is played by someone completely different).
point is, while you're only OBLIGATED to follow the letter of the law, it's worth considering the spirit.
Now, to change my stance entirely:
While arguing that "This makes the game less fun for others" is a valid point, it's not necessarily a reason NOT to do something...it's never really stopped PKers.
I happen to know a some guys who stole a boatload of gold from another faction in NW...same guys routinely preforms really irritating stunts on IRC...nope, not telling who ;-)
At any rate, if you can pull it off, nothing can stop you except Kevin, and I don't know weather or not I'd like him intervening. However, to rewind the argument, i'm not sure it's worth discussing the ethics of it until he pulls it off.
