Okay
So most of you guys know what "multi-accounting" is. This is where an online poker player plays on more than 1 account at the same time on the same poker site. This is against site rules, and was made super famous by the big ZeeJustin and JJProdigy multi-accounting incidents a couple years ago.
Anyway,
So I was just thinking to myself, and I remembered something retarded that I did with some classmates of mine when I was in high school.
I was taking a C++ programming class for summer school, and our teacher left the computer lab to go run some errand for like 5 or 10 minutes.
Anyway, so being stupid kids, we decided to see whether I could type faster than some other classmate of mine or not.
To make things even more retarded, in our epic speed-typing battle, we didn't even have to type words, we could just type fklfkjlkdjfgsmneotghjghjfdjhgofsh. The first person to full page in microsoft word won (we were competing on computers next to each other in the computer lab).
Well, I beat the first guy, but my fingers were actually mildly tired, from typing so fast for a full page, lol, so then the guy challenged me to a rematch, and after resting my hands for like 1 or 2 minutes I agreed to a rematch.
Then it got even crazier. He secretly got a third classmate into the mix, without me knowing (not initially at least). See, he had a computer on the corner of one of the tables, so his friend had a second keyboard plugged into his computer, and was sitting out my my view, around the corner, and was also fingersmashing simultaneously as my opponent, which ended up making my opponent type twice as fast, and so he was absolutely destroying me. After like 5 or 6 seconds of this I, and the people standing next to me figured out what was going on, and so obv he got disqualified lol.
Anyway, but this retarded memory made me think...
If the trick of plugging two keyboards into one computer allows you to type with both keyboards, at the same time, on one computer...
Is there a way to set up your computer so that more than one mouse can be opperated on your computer at the same time?
Think about how sick this would be?
In theory, let's say a player wanted to move up in the p5s rankings...
Using multiple mice for the same computer (and obv multiple monitors), a team of 4 or 5 very solid MTT players could all hook their mice into the same computer, and each 8-table or 12-table MTTs, all on the same site on one single account name, so they were 40-tabling MTTs. They could put in way 4 or 5 times the volume of a ranked MTT multitabling grinder, and, even if they were only averaging half the longterm ROI of the other guys in the top-10, they would easily get to a #1 ranking by playing 4 or 5 times more volume.
So.
Do you think there are people who multi-human online poker?
Am I the first person to have thought of this?
Would this even be possible? I don't know too much about computers, so I don't know how difficult it would be to get multiple mice running on one computer, let alone getting multiple mice to work on one poker account, etc.
P.S. I'm not high. I swear. lolz
Additional notes: MUPP brought up the point of how this idea seemed unnecessary, due to the fact that players could much more simply and easily just all have accounts tied to one "real name" on different sites. Like one guy on UB, another on Full Tilt, another on Stars, etc. Thus they would still get the p5s ranking, but not have to worry about all this multi-humaning crap on one computer.
However
What I forgot to mention is the most interesting part of all, which could NOT be accomplished via that method:
The weekly and annual TLB on pokerstars.
These guys could win pretty much EVERY fuckin week if they 5-human'd pokerstars mtts. That's worth straight up cash money, since there is a juicy prize for winning the pokerstars weekly tlb, and I think some prize for winning the annual tlb too.

2 or even 3 mice on one computer is very doable. One serial, one ps/2, and one USB will all work at the same time with no problem. I call BS on multiple keyboards though.

The keyboards thing that made me think of this whole idea in the first place was actually not b.s.
It was done on a macintosh (an imac if I remember correctly (the ones that had the whole computer all inside the monitor, and were kinda egg-shaped, and the back part was perforated, and came in different colors). It was back in summer of I think junior year of high school, so that would have been 2003 that the multi-keyboarding thing happened in my computer class.
Maybe multi-keyboarding doesn't work on more recent computers, or non-macintosh computers, but I know from witnessing it firsthand that multi-keyboarding (to my surprise) definitely did in fact work, on that computer, in that computer lab, on that day.

Well, I mean I guess it's a little bit "out there" but I wasn't really making this as a "joke thread" MUPP.
This idea could theoretically allow a team of players to easily win the pokerstars weekly TLB week after week. Would it still be a joke if these guys scored tens of thousands of dollars of free money off the weekly TLB wins every year?
I honestly wasn't trying to make this a joke thread. I think this is something genuinely interesting to think about.
Or at least I thought it was.

I retract my calling of BS for the Apple. I'm a PC man and know nothing of those evil machines. I thought you were talking about a real computer.

Sorry if my certificate of insanity offended you ;)

Lol, well keep in mind the multi-keyboarding incident happened at my SCHOOL computer library back 5 years ago in high school, so since the schools were all using apples back then, we didn't really have much choice in the matter.
It's all good though.
I'm still butthurt that MUPP called this a joke post though. I think I came up with something at least somewhat creative and possibly interesting to think about. Maybe he was just grouchy that his pic got deleted and was taking it out on me.
:(
I like my idea.
I'm not going to try it though. Nor advocate that anyone else does. It's pretty much cheating (unfair advantage for the p5s plb but more importantly unfair advantage for the pokerstars weekly and annual tlb).

Lol, I liked the certificate actually. I wish they didn't delete it. But sometimes insane ideas can be cool imo.
Like... that guy who cut his dick off and threw it at a cop that was chasing him that one time...
well... that might have been a bad example tho actually

Nah, then they would get caught. While pokerstars wouldn't get suspicious of a person 40-tabling (there are quite a few people who do this on a regular basis), they would get suspicious of a guy playing 24-hours a day, for days and days at a time, knowing that this would be a bit ridiculous, since people do in fact sleep.
Actually pokerstars doesnt care who plays on your screen name as long as you authorize them to do so...
here is the email they sent me when i asked about it

Well, then they could form a 15 person team, and work in 8 hour shifts in sub-teams of 5, 40-tabling, 24 hours a day. And then when pstars emailed about it, they could just say that they were roomates, and each of them indually was 40-tabling for 8 hours at a time (when in reality they were just 8-tabling, but with 5 people all hooked into one computer). Then they would still not get caught, and they'd be playing like, basically every single MTT that existed on pokerstars, and probably have to add in 180-mans too, since they'd actually be able to play more than the amount of tourneys pokerstars has to offer lol.
So sick.
