PPT -> Vac mode (24hr gap seems flawed)

[Nighthawk]

maybe I missed something with the whole 24hr gap between ppt and vac mode, but I came off ppt early (about 6am game time yesterday - thursday) haven't attacked anyone in over 24 hours and still can't go to vac mode.

Your last protection was: Friday 03rd of November 2006 12:08:16 AM
It is now: Friday 03rd of November 2006 06:06:08 AM
Again, it must be minimum 24hours.You have either attacked other realms in the last 1 day, or been on vacation/ppt within the last 1 day (or are now). To go on vacation, you need a clear conscience. In this place, that takes 1 day of no attacking others. Additionally, you must have been in full active play (no ppt, no vacation) for the last 1 day.

Just if it helps, I went on ppt Weds a.m about 00:08 game time,
came off ppt Thurs a.m about 06:00 game time, did one naq attack at the same time and was unprotected and did not attack for the following 24+hrs
Today at 24hrs + 1 turn I'm told that I was still under protection this morning.

If that's the way that it's meant to behave then apologies for misunderstanding the concept, but my conscience is pretty clear

Cheers,

It looks like it is going with the time off when the ppt was suppose to have ended.

yep it is. Just isn't the behaviour I was expecting. I thought that the 24hrs was there to ensure that you couldn't attack and then run off and hide for the three days that ppt wouldn't cover and that's fine.

But I came off the ppt delierately because I knew I was going away and needed to vac mode the weekend.

Doesn't really matter now, just something to be aware of next time I find myself in a similar situation. Reasonably expensive lesson but nothing that you can't plan around. Just wish I'd stayed on ppt longer and then attacked like crazy instead of sitting there for 24hrs like a lemming
