Default Close to Canada, this possible?

I literally could get to Canada in under a 2 hour drive (1-1.5 if I take my motorcycle).

If I get a P.O. box there can I change my party address to there and play? (or open a new account with that address and play?)

Also everytime I played, I would literally drive up to Canada, and physically be there. (so my IP would be Canadian etc.)

Would I get in trouble for too many "border crossings?" (probably look like I was getting mary jane and carrying it back from the U.S. customs perspective)

Would Party/prima even let me play? Or since I'm still a U.S. citizen would they not allow it?

Just curious, cause the fiance and I are thinking about moving and if we do we might end up about 10 minutes from the border. So it would be really easy to just jump back and forth. Rent a cheap apartment + internet and profit [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

"Would I get in trouble for too many "border crossings?""

my guess would be yes. over a three month period last year, i travelled from montreal to nyc four times and the last two times i crossed into the US, i was given the search treatment. not pleasant.

if they suspect that you're doing something shady, you can definitely be denied entry.

With Party, you need to be logged in from a Canadian location at all times, and after you sign up you have to send them ID with your Canadian address on it and a utility bill with your name and address on it.

Dude just buy a condo in downtown Vancouver. You are still within a few hour drive of your apartments and you get to live in one of the coolest cities in the world.
