When you get banned while playing a competitive game, you use the smurf account to wait out the ban.

Farming cards from bundle games, farming item drops in games like Team Fortress 2 when it allowed text mode drops, maybe just setting up a account just for fun, like the Captain Picard account.

Why would I ever want to pay for a game twice just to have it on another account and farm cards? You fucking serious? And I don't effin' play Team Fortress anymore. It's 15 fucking GB on the HHD. Nor would I ever make an account to play any other f2p game on it? I'll stick to my original assessment: IT'S STUPID.

They all have very similar names and passwords. If someone found one, they'd find all of them, though there's really no practical purpose because I've already taken all the cards. Last time I logged onto one was about three months ago, though.

I already have the games on my main, and I've gotten boosters from my alt before. Not many, but a few.

I created one to do something in Winter Sales of 2011(to get that old coal. I miss that coal :( ) which it was to trade something with someone. I never had any friend, so I created one myself! Now I see no use for that account, even tough I still know its password.

Yes, I have 2 Steam accounts. Started the second one at a time when I didn't know about this place, and didn't have many Steam buddies to give stuff away to either, so when I had some unwanted keys I made account #2 and put them on there. At the same time I also wanted to keep my first account clean, only wanting to have games on it that I was really interested in.
Since then my alt. account has into a card farming account and I will now activate any old crap on my main account. :p

I would usually do this, but trading bundle keys is such a chore! So sometimes I just use them on an alt account. Besides, it helps to level them up to level 5 before the next event. That way I'll be able to vote with them and get the event cards.
That, and if I'm lucky enough, I get booster packs :P

But effort. I'm still sitting on a bunch of bundle keys in my ignored trade topic.

Probably i have the second one. At 2006 (or 2005), i've opened my first account on Steam but after that i forgot what was that and what was the mail address. So, after i buy HL2/CSS retail at Feb 2006, i've created this account.

same for me.
First account for HL², second one when I bought the orange box.
I'd like to merge them if i could, to bring back CSS & HL² deathmatch to my main account, with my nearly 9 years of service badge.
But as it's not possible, I use them both when I want :
I'd be able to make a lot of card by using my leftovers from humble bundles on this account, but I don't.

Only have one account. My GF and daughter also have their own accounts and I'm taking any card/booster they drop. I also have a friend to whom I give some leftover keys from time to time and he gives me back the cards he gets from them.

I have one alternative account that holds some TF2 items (garbage) that didn't fit on my backpack at the time and some that have expired already.
Ps: I just checked, the account hasn't been opened in over a year :P

So all these accounts you see with all these cards are probably extra accounts. So how do you Farm cards from these accounts if you don't have much in them, buy them?
Comment has been collapsed.
How do you mean? Not sure I understand.
I buy a lot of bundles, I like them. Many times games are in more than one bundle so I end up with spare Steam keys for these games. If the game in question is one that gives trading cards then I'll put it onto my alternative account. From there I just run the game for a couple of hours on my laptop so that the cards are given out. I then offer my main account a trade, asking nothing in return, gifting the cards to myself.

I'm just curious who has multiple accounts, and why you have them. Wouldn't mind seeing a few of the more impressive alternate accounts either.
With my own alternate account, I use it for farming bundle card games when I already own it on my main. Also let my family use it for playing Plants VS Zombies (which they are playing at this moment).
