Question about "Multi-Boxing"

Q: Multiboxing?
A: When EJ is released, multiboxing will be illegal. Until then, it will not be enforced. (Note: I specifically asked Bleak at the barbecue the next day if that meant that multi-CLIENTING would be deactivated. He stated that multi-clienting would be okay; only actual multi-boxing, controlling multiple accounts on the same keystrokes/controls, would be prohibited.)
controlling multiple accounts on the same keystrokes/controls
This is the statement I'm focusing on and I have questions...

To control multiple accounts on the same keystrokes/controls would imply that the user would be running a third-party program to assist with that kind of control.

What if I'm manually switching back and forth between the windows controlling the characters individually at separate times?

Example: Running 2 clients, 1 client is a Sampire and client 2 is a Bard. I run up with client 1 attack monster A, switch to my other client and run up with bard to discord it switch back to client 1 and continue to kill the monster. - Is this no longer allowed?

That is multi-clienting and is allowed. What isn't allowed is controlling multiple characters with the same set of keystrokes at the same time.
