demo1 and demo2 (thousandparsec.net is demo1, iirc) both have a setting turned 
on called "autoadd_players". This means that players don't have to go through 
the account creation process to get into the game. Effectively, Logging in 
also creates the account if needed.

This setting is turned on because discovering how to create an account in 
tpclient-pywx is too hard, and it's also helpful when I am debugging so that 
I can get into the game quickly.


If you try the same username with different passwords, you should get failures 
because the first password is set as the password, and because the account 
already exists, no new account is created.

Hope this helps.
