We have noticed individuals mention having alternate accounts. Is there a way to achieve this beyond simply using a secondary email address or Twitter account? And if so, how might we go about doing so?

I wouldn't be surprised if Alexis & Co. have held off on officially condoning or limiting the use of alts so that they still have room to forbid them, or to come down hard on unforeseen misuse. Personally, well, I hope and trust I'm causing no bother through non-competitive play and through buying all but four times as much Fate.

I think there are varying degrees of things that are 'allowed' with alts. Like Inky Petrel said, I don't think FBG particularly likes when people use alts for the gain of one account, or anything besides roleplaying separate characters on Fallen London. But there are some things that you outright can't do and won't be tolerated at all, such as the now-impossible Fate farming, and using your alts to gang up on somebody in K&C.
Personally, I made my ridiculous amounts of alts as betrayal fodder, so that I didn't have to bother anyone else when I hit a certain stage in SMEN. I don't particularly regret this decision, although I will say that actively keeping up with several alts can get rather vexing. Some of them have developed characters of their own, since - some have not.

I myself am rather fond of my team of Neath dwelling vagrants. As with Laluzi, I find it rewarding and vexing to keep up with them. Likewise, they have developed their own characteristics to me. If I ever had the inclination I would gladly spend money towards the benefit of any of my characters where I see it necessary.
Still, I did not know there was a stipulation against alts. Where was this listed?
I would love nothing more than for a way to merge all of my accounts together, even if there were downsides to it. Until then, Fallen London is too much fun to enjoy on just one character.
