Topic: Starting inactives

When an account is in a fam and become inactive in the first x time..

And when another round starts this will happen again..

And another round this will happen again..

Ban the account..
Taking a spot in the galaxy in any.. and just become inactive (serveral times) should be account closure?

Please let me know what you think
I added the inactive x number just to add random events out.. instead doing things like that on purpose..

Cheers.

Re: Starting inactives

Well, at least it should be recorded somewhere indeed. Going inactive can have many reasons, but joining and going inactive straight away should be recorded so that if it happens again admin/mods can decide to delete faster.

Re: Starting inactives

If Pie didn't delete VIRGO maybe those new guys dont random join fams....
since they will learn in VIRGO to make something out of nothing instead go into a game and just dont bother...

yeah well it doesn't make the game easier.. or nicer..
rolling a dice and just be lucky..

if you win this round it was probably most LUCK...


damn!

Re: Starting inactives

Nah, not worth the effort.  Virgo is remembered more fondly than it actually was when we had it running.  It was a decent inactive gate but as a training galaxy it was hit or miss.

A better idea would be to build some of it into Infinitum, which is being built right now.

A quick and reasonable solution would be to require new accounts to play Infinitum for at least a real life week before they can also join regular galaxies.  Add +1 RL week protection for those same accounts and you have the best parts of Virgo without the tutor component.

This is only half a fix though.  It'd give us an inactive gate again, but there's still a problem with non-new accounts that go inactive repeatedly mid-round, which is what your original idea here seems to be about.  A reputation based system in which players could vote players out of their family could help, but that would take a fair amount of effort to get right.

But the best features require work, so effort isn't an excuse to not do it.  I'm all for it.

Re: Starting inactives

Lower time protection on inactives to 24hr at SOR and back to the normal 48hr after an account has logged in at least once after SOR

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated
