But, I know where you're getting at.  I don't vmode if i'm away, cos i can still at least log into send aid someway or the other.  So my fam benefits from me, not being in vmode, even while im away.

You're right though, most people abuse vmode for the reasons you mentioned, but I don't think your solution ist he answer. 

I'd be willing to hear some other ideas though.  Maybe something along the lines of ....once a fam has cancelled on you (obviously only ingame NAP), noone can enter vmode until 48h after the NAP expires, or something.  Except for those people who are already in vmode before teh cancellation.

Just a thought.

Edit:  And just cos your idea suits your particular circumstance, doesn't mean it's a no brainer implementation.  There are other things to consider too.  Period.

Yea I know, but I'm really pissed right now. Also, I was going to say that even people who do go on vacation, STILL don't enter v-mode just to aid out, like you pointed out yourself.

Also, no solution will please everyone, but right now vacation mode is used honestly by probably less than 5% of cases and abused for the 95%. In order to allow maybe the 5 people who go on vacation last minute to enter v-mode, you will allow another 100 to abuse it.

Doesn't mae sense and something needs to be done.

But then there might actually be people who have to go on holiday during the war time. All options won't satisfy all scenarios.

I'm thinking a 96 hour warning is best because if they actually had to go on holiday, then they would have already entered it in game, before any naps were cancelled.

At the end of the day, your idea works too, and I'm sure there are many more that can work as well. What I should have wrote was "SOMETHING needs to be done. Period"

Technically you shouldn't be able to mark anyone Inactive unless you're killing them off.

Period.

its "abused" too much in terms of saving morale and passing planets through the family...

I think only about 5% use it to kill inactives off and 95% abuse it to save morale when just passing planets intra family..

Sure, make it illegal to mark anyone inactive unless you kill them off

Inactive tag saves moral in intra fam passing. You can still pass planets without it.

And I use inactive tag 100% of the time to kill somebody off since its required.
