Can you take planets from people?

[Abhorsen 1991]

I heard if you abandon all your planets with 13 traces on each and then search for your smallest planet you are automatically sent a Dual.....

this is definitely not a ploy to have silly players abandon all their planets

Yes, it is.

When the page says "700(1) Planets", 700 is the total amount of planets a player has, and the (1) indicates how many of those planets are trained.

[spoiler2="Extra"]It takes around 10 times someone else's covert to see this statistic, which explains why you will say mostly ????? and a number without parentheses. Mark that this does not indicate that they have no trained planets, rather your covert power is too low to spot it. If a player has no trained planets whatsoever, their planet count will show as: #planet count#(0).[/spoiler2]

LOL been playing for 7 years and didn't know that one...
