Thanks for the heads-up, equiraptor, but I highly doubt it. I've played many similar games before, and not only have I never seen the act of creating multiple accounts for the benefit of one account discouraged, but I've actually seen it be suggested in passing by game representatives on respective official pages. There's nothing overly sneaky about it. Cheating would be using a jailbroken device to acquire a ton of free donuts to purchase a bunch of expensive items. I have a friend who once used her "code" from a "fixed" phone on my own account as such (I'm not going to name the game, but it wasn't this one), and she landed me about $1000 worth of game currency. For five minutes, it was like Christmas. Then, the guilt set in. It ruined the whole game for me; I'd been playing for 6 months but ended up abandoning it, as all the fun had been sucked right on out. The same friend would score loads of donuts for me in a heartbeat on this game if I asked, but that, I would never do. I feel completely comfortable with creating secondary accounts though, as I really don't feel that it's cheating. And I've spent $15 over the past two months total, so EA has definitely benefited from having me as a player. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. :)
