::::It's possible to get away with it, but it leaves you with a guilty feeling. Only users with the "CheckUser" status may look at a user's IP address - sysops and bureaucrats do not have this option - only global levels, such as VSTF, Wikia Staff, Helpers, etc. have the option. Such status is only granted to a local wiki if sockpuppetry is a problem - see [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:User_access_levels this page] for details.

::::::That's happened before. Both accounts are usually blocked and the blocked users would file long unblock requests, and a massive discussion usually takes place. Blocks made for sockpuppetry on two people using the same IP address is very unpleasant indeed - see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Flyer22/Archive_10/Block_cases this case] for a very good (how ironic) example.

Personally I think we should use some of the topmost nominations for the next battles, mainly to get them over with and then go back to choosing the next battle via the number of votes. Of course, the topmost nominations should have some votes in order to be chosen for the next battles. 

:The instructions only say that "Nominations will be reviewed by an administrator." Naturally I pick the one that has the most votes and comments combined. However, this does mean that older nominations that lack sufficient votes will probably never make it to battles. That would eventually lead to the nomination page becoming of unbearable size, to the point that one's computer would crash trying to load the page. We definitely need a better method of handling nominations than the current one we have.

Looking at my calendar, it seems that this current battle (Battle 87) will end on a date where I am not available (see [http://tlaststand.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:K6ka/I%27m_on_a_WikiBreak_-_for_real,_this_time here] for details). Is there any admin that's willing to do the next battle (hopefully someone who will know what they are doing)?

:I'm willing to do the next few battles. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 05:39, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

: I was about to change the battle, when I noticed that [[Unlucky]] vs [[Loser]] and ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' vs'' [[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' are tied with votes. So I didn't know what to do. [[User:Joey.eyeball|Joey.eyeball]] ([[User talk:Joey.eyeball|talk]]) 04:31, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

::: Ok, I'll start right now, though I may be slow at getting it done. [[User:Joey.eyeball|Joey.eyeball]] ([[User talk:Joey.eyeball|talk]]) 04:37, March 14, 2014 (UTC)
