We did it against zaphor, no hiding on ppts for our enemies.
but psicolixs point is this, sure they are LOTS of ways to make it so that ppt's cant eb brought by an enemy to waste your ppt turns in a given week, but the question is, why the hell would admin want to take away some income?? He only does it if the major public view is that it shoudl be changed so the public dont think hes only interested in $. e.t.c e.t.c.
Fact is , nto enough people want this ability removed infact soem of you would "love a free ppt"

When someone has purchased an SS on your behalf, does that count toward your PPT limit of 2 per week? If so, that would be an interesting strategy to employ on an enemy you wanted bad enough.
At the start of the week, you could pay for 2 SS for them back-to-back, effectively putting them on PPT for up to 48 hours (since they don't run consecutively) and know for sure that on Wednesday, their account would be wide open to attack and they could do nothing about it for a minimum of 24 hours. After 24 hours, I suppose they *could* go onto vacation mode but you'd be able to have your way with them and know for sure they couldn't hop on PPT until you were finished.
Very interesting...

If you were smart about this game, you would remember the 24 hour rule from ppt to vacation mode.

That's why I noted it in my post.

You can buy anybody PPT by using their id number when you purchase it.
(But if you did, I would submit that you have more $$ than sense

Or perhaps you sold a little naq for $ for a ppt to make a huge target vunerale for 2 more days nto to mention being able to farm him for much mroe than the ppt cost in naqudah.
Fact is, there are two ways of puttign ppts onto the account without completely changign the way it is done, which i dotn want, either 1. a ppt replaces any other ppt that may oir may not be on, 2. a ppt cant be brought unless the account is not on ppt, now number 2. would be much less useful becausem sot playersl iek to buy there 2nd ppt whilst still in there 1st one, so number 1 is ideal for 99% of the players, 1. can onyl badly affect people whom make gr8 enemies whom can outplay them,..
The fact is , it is not a loophole where someone has there ppt slot used up for no bonus, say the second ppt is brought 2 minutes after the 1st one, that is 2 minutes more ppt time, this could be the difference between a hole turns income,

Hey, seriously, I would make some option that you could either be accepting donations from others, so that way people could pay you PPT for $ and also option of not accepting donations. Since mostly it's bought as per agreement (yeah, yeah, my friends buying PPT to me without my agreement is a bit of different story, lol) and we would avoid any abusing of that (and I would avoid my sneaky friends to put me on PPT without my permission, hehehhe
)...
