Alright so there have been times when you people have forgot about ur Market turns at the end of the week, and then on a monday ur like "OH craP why didnt i get the Merlins" .... I know this has happened to everyone atleast once.. cause IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME TODAY>...... and im pissed.

SO I come up with an idea, Why not make a default for these.. so incase u forget about ur Market Turns, Why not be able choose a default for these,... so incause u dont make it at the end of the week, you can atleast use it up on merlins or somthing..

Trust me this is a pro idea :)
because everone needs this since not everyone sits in front of their comp all day playing sgw.. so we will eventually miss these.

TELL Me what YOU Think..

Not me. :lol:

Interesting idea though. Not sure whether it could be coded though.
But you have 7 days to remember to use your MTs so if you are really bad at remember try set some sort of reminder on your PC or something!

I still don't think it's a good idea though ... it's on the games fault if you forget to use your MTs :P

Yes you already said it just happened to you. Why repeat yourself?

Well calm down, it's only 2 MTs, not the end of the world.

I actually like the idea, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the coding time. After all, it's very much for our convenience rather than to make gameplay better.

If it is not too difficult to code I would really like to have it - as long as PPT is not one of the default options!

What about this scenario......

A player creates a new multi account. They leave this account to sit there inactive with no stats for a few months. During this time they get "by default" quite a bit of "Merlins thingy". *dismisses rude thoughts from mind*

Then when the player is ready, they use the multi account to take a planet which they have located using their main account. They take this planet (if it isn't re-taken with in the hours limit) then they put it on "Merlins" for several days (using the Merlins generated from Default MTs). Then they know exactly when it comes off Merlins, and use their main account to take it.

Just something to think about......

:shock:

Scary thought. I would use it for banking space (of which I have a sore lack atm), so the Merlins scenarios didn't really enter my mind. Though the same can be done without it being automatic. The player will have to log on once a week to buy the merlins, which isn't much trouble if you're already going to so much trouble as creating a multi account.

An as scary scenario - the cheat goes and create a lot of multies, getting them to create a planet a week. Voila, a nice little planet plantation. The beauty of it will be that he only needs to log in once to create the account and setting it up for planet creation - minimal risk of detection. :?

true that would be infect very scary, although wouldnt the Admins find out if a multi was created??

another thing, im pretty sure coding would be ez. i myself know java, C++ and flash.. and i can imagine the code taking place in my head.

but ya 2 MTs is not the end of the world.. but when it happens every few weeks, it gets very annoying..
sometimes what happens is, i say im gonna log in at the end of the week and use them up but then im out all of sunday night and then GG to my merlins lol

And what about autobanker..? In case someone goes on PPT, they can miss end of their Poor Pathetic Times and their hard-way saved naq would be gone! Autobanker would surely help solving that problem!

In case you were wondering, it was sarcasm. Adding such feature would only help people who log once per day and to people who do not play. Therefore it would be lose for the game.

Bad idea. :)

I agree with Jenny Bad idea sorry. Nice thinking for active players but would be open for abuse 8)

not everyone has the time to play this game 24/7 -- unlike some

but yes, i doo see how this can be used to abuse..

how about instead of merlins, turn it into something else??

maybe naq and left outside?? i donno, im just thinking of ways to not let the MTs go to waste..

Like I said before... set yourself a reminder! It's REALLY not that difficult. Also, why leave it until Sunday, why not Saturday? It's your choice to leave it until the end of the week, therefore it's your responsibility if you forget.

So let me get this straight..... currently you leave your MTs till the end of the week, and if you happen to be out all Sunday you forget or can't logon to use them.... you get very annoyed because you wasted 1, 2 or 3 MTs.... however your possible solution is to have a default so that it automatically generates naq at the end of the week if you haven't used your MTs and it puts naq out in to the open.... then you get farmed...... you would be annoyed, yes, no?????
