To Dupe or Not to Dupe? MisterLawrencex
Do you dupe, I did and Andy caught me. Four accounts all banned, $8m plus points lost. "That's for cheating, so suck it up," he said.

Is it worth duping? Well think about it; you never need an OC team, you get to keep all the profit yourself and if anyone messes with you, just use your dupe to shoot them. You can rank yourself up, you even have someone to talk to, who never disrespects you. Wow, maybe I should do it again... or maybe not.

Sooner or later you will get caught, an IP check and you lose everything you seemed to work so "hard" for. How will you get caught; maybe you make a post in the game forum from the wrong account or perhaps you OC with someone who reports you. Once you get caught, points, cash and rank, casino if you have one and perhaps most of all, reputation: all lost.

It's a shame that so many people now see it as an easy way to make fast money or to have a standby shooter they can use, its a shame as it makes the game less playable for those who don't dupe. Still it's in the game like it or not. You can often spot a dupe, he is the Don with only 100 messages, he will say I never talk to anyone, hmmmm if so how did he manage more than 100 OC's it takes to make it to Don.

Dupe or not to dupe, only you can decide, I hope you decide not to.
