if an other person from our house-network (there are 3 houses connected with each other and we have a common internet connection) would start an airline in the same game I am playing (that means, he has the same ip and so on) ... would that be a problem? ... would the system see this as ... well... violation of the rules?

Haven't seen this in awhile.   If you're using the same IP for multiple accounts, you need to let Sami know.

Not a problem if you are not doing anything against the rules.

And it would be good to notify us first too (but in most cases we can distinguish who are the same person and who are not) to avoid any false alarms. But mostly the interest is in players who try to abuse the free 7-day trial period, or in players who try to gain advantage by creating two accounts (but this is a very very rare case), or (like mentioned) in players violating the rules by giving the account access to other persons too in order to "be online" 24/7 etc (which is forbidden).

So just don't try to swap slots/planes/money with the players and it's fine (for planes; as long as their price is reasonable), and keep in mind that each account is for personal/individual use only, not for a group of persons.

Every time I log in via my mobile data, public WiFi, friends WiFi (not playing AWS) or at my second house I fear the ban hammer... but it seems sami's systems are smart enough to include such cases. :)

I just remember it should be announced if you travel in other countries or so, too.

?? No ..

Ah ok, sorry then. I just thought I heard this some years (3-4) ago. That's the problem if you hang out too long in one game... brain database gets corrupted with old information and discussions from Skype or somewhere else are internal transported to official things. ;)

I will have my bro joining this game later on! Should I notify Sami here or other where else.

Notify Sami direct via PM prior to your bro playing the game.
It is mentioned somewhere in the introduction (from memory as I read it a longggggg time ago)

You may remember the special case of Alex, lilius and me traveling to meet each other. That is (likely) something Sami should know about, if suddenly there are a group of people from the same IP playing different accounts...
