Alts, like the ones used on seperate accounts. I always enjoy a bit of reasoning behind the possibilities, so I was curious on how it's logically possible for one person to control two people at once?
May sound like a bad question, perhaps it is. But I was curious and I thought it would be interesting to think about such possibilities.

0/10. Not for trolling, but for asking a dumb question.

Because having a good computer+ dual monitor setup isn't that hard

I think alts are bad and people with alts are even worse because they are so bad on one they need more to make up for it.

That is my point.
You can't figure out how to get it done because you are all alone in this universe.
You are doing it wrong and I pity the way it must make you feel.

It's easy!

You first need to buy and train a monkey to use a computer and mouse. Just get him a cheap mouse, monkeys have trouble with scroll wheels anyway.

Teach the monkey to understand your commands, how to play Eve, and voila! Easy-peasy!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I used to use 2 PC's and a program called inputdirector. You control each computer with one mouse and keyboard. The active PC is the one the cursor is on. Synergy was more popular, but inputdirector worked better for me.


There's also programs that can clone your moves to multiple clients, if you don't want independant action.

I only have one character.
Not even filled up the other 2 spots on my account.

How am I supposed to be 2 people at once? That is ******* stupid.

Er...because you are not controlling any people, you are controlling a computer program.

Oh, yeah, right. You are controlling two computer programs, multitasking between them.

Honestly I rat with three ships, they are all different and work together, I flip between the three clients (using two monitors).

It's still boring. At least better than checking on 20 mackinaws...
