well, at this point I think I'll take any reason as final just to stop my arguing   even how ridiculous the reason really is It isn't fair to anyone to completely freeze a persons account, because with the way the game changes, something could happen that gives them a major advantage because they froze their account. 1: game changes in middle of VM may give them unforeseen advantages |

I'm not sating it could happen, though it quite possibly might. I've given solid reasons as to why vacation mode being a frozen account thing is bad, and you've replied with half loaded answers and the bending of my words. Overall, i'm completely against the idea, but if it was to be implemented, it should not involve account freezing at all, end of story. I rest my case, Sir Emi may be the judge of the better idea. Court is ajourned for recess.

Half loaded answers? Twisting of words? I've seen plenty of valid answers you've yet to solidly rebuke. |

That's because they were ALREADY COUNTERED IN MY PREVIOUS POST(S)!
It's up to emi to decide if this should be implemented, and if so, which idea is more fair. We presented our cases, now it's time for the judge to review it and give a verdict. Just let it reset until then.

ya, as I said, I'm getting tired of this argument, just let it rest, E will (hopefully) take a look and decide which is better. I just hope some kind of this IS implemented, because playing for a good 4 months solid, then losing everything you have because you can't find someone to play for you for 2 weeks while on vacation doesn't sound very good...

Neither the 10 Trillion Powership argument has not been adiquately unrebuked. Nor has the Vacationer Get's Jipped argument been completely validated, I am lead to believe. |

well, I can help the last one of that... seither... don't you mean it is supposed to be slightly slanted AGAINST the vacationer??? if you are making it even a SMIDGEON slanted towards the vacationer, OF COURSE it will be unbalanced.

In order for vacation mode to be balanced, it must be slanted against the vacationer, but less than not going into vacation mode. Anywhere in that range is perfectly all right. It just depends on how much you want to, erm, disadvantage the vacationer. Which you should do, to some extent.

ya, let me put it in a way that I hope everyone (even Seither) can agree to. when dealing with a vacation mode, no matter what, it should look like this: least wanted what VM should be most wanted l l l \/ \/ \/ leaving an some way of someone to play account freezing the your account for to sit there account so you, or just play and get the account is Space Odyssey pummeled neither hindered while on vacation nor helped as you can see by my wonderful doodling (yes, applause is appreciated  ) VM mode should set in a happy middle area between the 2 extremes. of course, everyone wants someone to just play their account for them. man, I sometimes want someone to play my account for me even though I am going on no vacation. but no one wants their account to remain completely untended to, open 24/7 for constant attacking. sure, damage protection will help tons, but still not really enough to save your account from a sever punishment from other players. |

Ofcourse you should implent with it when you click on activate Vacation mode it will active an hour after you clicked, you cannot hide while there are still counters on you. And vacation mode will atleast be for 2 days you can de-activate it earlier.

After delving into the mind of the vacationer and living amongst them for many a days. I can safely say that pretty much any kind of vacation mode would be greatly appreciated by me-... Erm, I mean them. Seriously, even being frozen would've helped me out a lot! Anyways, I'm just glad Sir Emi is implementing it. |
