Most of us have lives, my friend.
If you had read the post instead of wetting yourself over the subject line, you would have seen that I suggested keeping the current 96 hour limit.
What I am proposing is a change to the ppt, to make it impossible to war AND use ppt. If you really want out of a war you have 3 options. 1. Resign from your alliance, and hope that the opposition honors your withdrawal. 2. Withdraw to pergatory. 3. Go on vacation.
Those are the three ways out of a war. Not using ppt to hit & run.
I have nothing against ppt. I am on it now, and will be for 6 days (my gf's got leave from work). But then I'm not using it to hide from somebody I just whacked (in OR out of war), I'm using it as I'm sure it was intended to be used.
To those complaining that it's too long, 4 days a week is too much, why? You think people have an advantage over you because you play 25/7 (typo deliberate) and they only play 3 days a week? Don't be silly. You will grow more than twice as fast, because you are more than twice as active. LET people who are happy staying small and enjoying the game on a weekend, or those who enjoy the weekend off, continue.
What you *should* be upset about, are those who come off the ppt, clobber everybody they can, and jump back on it. Or the ones who misuse it in wars. THOSE are the ones I would like to see put a stop to. Yes, it's a war game, and war is a dirty business. But in most wars there is HONOUR. There are plenty of players on here with honour, even in the biggest baddest most "mean" alliances. Why they put up with the garbage they have hiding under their skirts is beyond me.
