Multiple accounts associated with a single IP address can enter the comp .

This is bad, because users who can use 2 accounts have a twice as likely chance of winning. If users use 3 accounts, 5 accounts, whatever, then it just becomes a challenge to see who can play the most games with the most alts, because even a mediocre player can win 80% of their games based on sheer odds.

Particularly malicious users can use alts to gamethrow (subtly) against other users.

I suggest remedying the issue in 3 ways:

• Increase the score required to join the comp matches from 1500 to 3000. This makes it more annoying for runners to grind points on alts to enter the comp. It also necessitates a higher level of play / more experience to enter comp matches, which makes games better for everyone. (~50 wins vs ~25 wins)
• When a user enters comp, store all IPs associated with that username in a DB for that round. If a different account tries to use a registered IP to enter / play in the comp matches, require a manual whitelisting of said username by a moderator / admin. This should be easy to program in because users must manually join every new comp game anyway, and is invisible to players (unless they live together).
• Block TOR addresses, VPNs, and IP addresses with open proxies from joining or playing in comp games. This prevents not only cheaters, but ban evaders from messing things up as well. If someone lives in North Korean and needs a VPN, again, they could petition a mod/admin to override the blanket ban and whitelist their username for VPN/proxy use. This would also be easy to implement only-for-comp matches (see suggestion #2.)

As a little experiment, I tried using 3 accounts to enter the same comp game from the same IP address. Surprisingly, it worked. I could see this having valid applications in unranked games or even ranked matches (siblings, roommates, mechanics testing, etc) but there should be a higher standard for goldheart games.

Lucid this is something that should not take you more than 20 or 30 minutes to program and will improve the game for everyone. Even a 13 year old kid with only the most rudimentary shell script knowledge could spend a lazy Saturday implementing these improvements.
