What I'm curious about is not out and out multis, but the amount of people whose "brothers" or "sisters" only "play" an account when it is convenient to a recognised player (ie: to hold uu/naq/turns). That is quite common, and entirely "legal" - not within the spirit of the rules, but within the letter of the rules it is plausible.

When farming you see many accounts that just sit with big defs, staying out of trouble, never registering on the forum just ticking over generating UU and Naq, I often wonder how many are feeder multi's, if I had the time and resources I would start leveling them all just to see who it pi..... erm I mean annoyed.

Indeed. Buy an account for few resources (or slowly build one) and let it stand there with a 1mil total UP (easily quickly achievable with UP planets) - it generates 1mil uu a day, free ATs, and whatever income it achieves when on ppt - and at a moments notice after massing someone you can raid the uu off the account and be back to the raid limit in moments.....
Get a few of them floating around ("brothers" and "sisters") and before you know it, you could have 1bil uu on standby for any wars....and the resources are virtually free, given most of them are just ticking over

so the thing about people not being on the forum is not as easy as it sounds to say there they are multis. I recall never being forum and lots people saying to me about server wars i was like lost didnt know anything about such things i just played in my own small wolrd to i found the right alliance to make me interested in game more fully AKA a decent alliance

Ten to fifteen percent is quite a conservative estimate in my opinion. I would place it somewhere between forty and fifty, although that might be a little higher. I can't speak for the state of the game now, given how out of sync I am, but several years ago the use of multi accounts was rife. A number of well-established and respectable players used them, and several alliances actually openly declared and even encouraged the use of resource farming accounts on their private forums. A few were exposed, but the vast majority weren't. A few of them are still active today, and at least one found his way into the 'Hall of Fame.'
