yea we currently have 4 days, and under this suggestion we would have 4 days but as i said i feel even that is too much.

i just dislike the 4 days stuck together idea more so than the rest of it

i think 1x48hr ppt is enough in a week (personally) but that isnt what this thread is about

its great when you go out on a friday. get drunk meet a girl and get kept away from a computer longer than you thought.

ive lost trillions due to this reason. if im ever on PPT just wait for it to end lol believe me haha

whats happening with this? i think the 4day ppt is a great idea. going vac mode for a 3day absence is pointless. the benefit of 4days continuous ppt is clearly balanced by the loss of the 3rd mt.

personally i see no problems with this suggestion at all. a player would gain and loose. thats fair. simple as.

This is a really great idea, there are many times when you cannot be active for a couple of days, i went on a ski trip earlier in the year. It would have been perfect then.

As for some of the comments against this idea, I make this suggestion.
- Stand up from your PC
- take a walk to the front door of your house
- open the door
- look outside and notice that there is a reality away from this game

Seriously stop with the complaining and whinging about people abusing the system. It was because of crap like this that a lot of players lose interest in the game. The game needs to accept that some people have busy lives outside and this is a bit of fun. You need these types of players who will be relatively active, and not find screw this for a joke i cant even go away for a weekend without my account getting trashed.

i definitely like this idea, super PPT and a 3IC would be good, cause alot of us do have school/college and jobs that we have to go to, and a super PPT would work out really well :D plus, if both Leader and 2IC go on vac, theres always the 3IC to pick up the slack

the idea of the super ppt sounds good by first look.. but this ppt can be exploited if used on market reset.. you can have 12 days of ppt, ascend +2 days of ppt, wait a little and buy more 4 days of ppt

thats 16 days of ppts.. the game would really be ppt wars till a lot of people get to the last ascencion LoL

edit: 12+2+4 = 18 not 16 :P

but would that really matter? if someone wants to use it that way why not let them. personally 18days or whatever of ppt would bore me.

the super ppts would require the loss of a market turn which balances the reward to the cost. tis good

I don't really like the super ppt...there's no reason for allowing that...if you can't get back in time for your ppt..that's your loss...next thing someone is going to suggest is a weeklong ppt for two weeks worth of MT...where does it end...there's ppt for 2 48 hour terms of protection...and vacation for everything else...if I go out of town...I either go on vacation or try to catch my ppt's, no big deal...
