Hey guys. I seem to recall hearing a few things about Failbetter's attitue towards having more then one char, but I can't remember what it was. Can someone inform me on this matter?

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

They are absolutely okay with you playing multiple characters. You'll see many forum members here displaying multiple accounts in their signature.
The "competitive advantage" referred to Fate-farming: it was possible (years ago) to gift another player 10 Fate, an amount any new account can earn in-game. That way, some b-----d apparently used hundreds of alts to farm free Fate and gift it to his main. That lead to the 10 Fate gift option being deactivated (it's still possible to send 100 Fate to another account, but you can't get that much for free).

Also, likely, to actual competitive things, such as Knife & Candle (currently on hiatus).

like grinding massive numbers of first city coins on your alts, or eyeless skulls for a main who hadn't unlocked the nadir While that is probably not how the game is meant to be played, I wouldn't consider it cheating - you're not taking anything away from other players or giving yourself an advantage over them.
However, fixing K&C fights against your alts until you can afford a Waxwail Knife - without ever having won a fair fight - I would certainly call that cheating. No idea how common it is though, I only dabbled in K&C very shortly as I didn't like the mechanics.

But if you just want to see all the stories, a lot of people do that.
