Alternate account

An alternate account is an additional account created by an existing forumgoer, usually to obscure their identity. Sometimes players will create new accounts to avoid metagaming based on their previous behavior, or to get away from indignities/personality conflicts. This is allowed (if not encouraged) on MafiaScum.net, provided the player does not try to use the two accounts to each others' advantage (such as playing in the same game, fishing for information with one account about something the other account is doing/playing, or otherwise circumventing the rules).

Anonymafia games are games that are played entirely with alternate accounts.
