Sevz · November 23, 2009, 10:21:37 AM

Pippin · November 23, 2009, 12:23:09 PM

I had a 5 day school camp
Get over yourself
I only vacate for good reasons
I didn't tell anyone i was cause they would have taken the 12 hour period to hurt me as much as possible.
I was in a war.

How dare someone actually use a useful feature of the game... ridiculous.

Yeah accually i climbed up to the top of Mt Kosciusko.
It was pretty fun it was a 13k walk.
It had an awsome view from the top even tho i had 50 flies following me around.

To be fair, technically it's code abuse.
But I'm getting fed up of people being bashed for going into vaca. If the admins don't mind, then it's legal as far as I'm concerned. Like onlining, it's dirty, but eh.

What bothers me is that some people can't seem to accept that yes, sometimes other players go into vacation for legitimate reasons.

Meh, was just saying and they destroyed my net then saves there. Glad you had fun oblit :)

Genevieve · November 27, 2009, 06:34:26 PM

Er, what? To be fair, you make as much sense as a flying pig on rollerskates.

It may be unfair if someone has 10bil nw on turbo at the beggining and went on vaca until the last day of the set. Other than that is fair and can be very legit, like in oblits case.

windhound · November 27, 2009, 11:18:02 PM

Er. Technically its not code abuse. Oblit used the feature as intended. He played the game, then had to scoot for a few days. He then rejoined the game when he came back.
That is exactly how the feature is supposed to work.

Alazar, if somone makes 10 bil net legitimately at the beginning of turbo then heck. Give 'em the round and a gold star.
Anyways, the solution to that "problem" will likely be along the lines of kicking vacationed empires 5 days before rounds end and not allowing any further vacationing or idling out.

Yeah, I know. It was an exaggeration to make a point. That would be a good solution. Possibly worthy of being put into the development section.

Firetooth · November 28, 2009, 04:18:42 AM

Not going on vaca, but using the feature otherwise.
But this arguement has been had too many times so I'm not bothering.
