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

As suggested in the discussion of this idea, the super PPT has requirements to stop this form of abuse. a 48 hr "cool down" so it can't be linked to other PPT's.
And as you yourself say, it requires ascendeding to do it and no offesne but the cost of ascention is higher then the profit of a 4 day PPT.
Good point on the ascentions tho.

if some requirements get implemented too, it can be a good thing.
as for ascencion i agree it costs more than a 4 days ppt.. but for those on quick ascencion or those that just want to stay on ppt, it can be done

I like super PPT, maybe not 4 days, 2MT's for 3days PPT, but something. There would be people (a guy in my alliance especially) whom can't logon over the weekend, and 2 days isn't long enough from 5 friday, till 9 monday

i still think this is a great idea (both parts). perhaps make it so a person cannot go on super ppt on two consecutive weeks? thoughts?

Probably defeat the purpose, if it was used due to limited/no access over the weekend, then they wouldn't be able to protect themselves apart from vacation

Doesn't look like it. You can put the label, but it does nothing where as 2IC is actually a status within the alliance membership page

you can already do 14 days in a row
the only dif would be you only had to go to comp to ppt 4 times instead of 7 times
this would be great for weekends away which go just over the 48 hours (i usually have to borrow a phone with good internet on it or find a comp as dont wanna vac mode.

You lost me there? without ascending the longest PPT you can possibly do is 8 day?
As stated in the idea, you cant link a super PPT to ANY other PPT so with the idea 8 day is max as well. Now if you ascend and use the super ppt yes you can pull a 14 day ppt, but honestly, whats the big advantage? you have to be online to activate them and ascend, and the only difference is a 2 day non ppt time. yes you can ascend 22 times now and can ascend every 3 weeks. so all we are debating over is 2 days every 3 weeks, and thats limited by the number of ascentions left to do.
