Is it considered account sharing if it's via demonic possession?

[QueenKitty]

What about having a dissociative identity disorder and sharing your body with multiple personalities. Does this count as account-sharing?

I've actually wondered this a lot, like what it a GM were to see someone with DID referring to themselves by several different names/acting very differently all the time?

Like many things in the grey area of "ToS technically says it's not allowed but nobody will go out of their way to enforce it unless you actively force their hand by being a dum-dum" sharing your account with a demon/ghost/alien symbiote/etc. buddy (or your human host if you happen to be one of the above and were the original creator of the account) most likely falls under the "don't ask, don't tell" clause, alternatively known as "live and let live". As long as neither the host nor the hostee do anything that would get either of them reported or otherwise call the attention of a GM, one is unlikely to face significant risk of exorcism.

Should a GM get involved, however, the outcome is likely to depend on their individual tolerance for nonsense.

I'd say if you allow the demon/spirit to do it, yes it's account sharing. If they forcibly possess you to play, it's account theft, even if temporary.

Considering you're asking a legal question and there is no legal precedent I'm aware of for "demonic possession" absolving someone of a crime.

Lorraine Mbulawa was allowed to go free after the Judge accepted that she really did believe she was possessed.

Getting away with stabbing people because ghosts made you do it, in the UK, in 2011.

I Don't get how anyone is taking this seriously. SE obviously doesn't care as long as they get cash and you don't complain about getting account stolen. Like really its not even a big deal rule its just at your own risk the other person could do or say something stupid and get you in banned. As in your account is your responsiablity if you choice to do that or something takes over it still happaned on your account unless you prove it got hacked or something its still your fault.

The struggle is real folks!

I would consider it a hacking - your body got hacked. Or did you take that demon up on their amazing real wish trade? In that case probably account sharing.

I let the demon do whatever and after a day of inhabiting my body they left because of how miserable it was

The demons kinda popped in, took a look around, and asked how in the endless pits of hell I could live like this. I told 'em that you just kinda get used to it.
