I don't think there are rules. Just as many as you can get. Some know tricks to get more than others, but I believe that's all fair.

2, unless you count ascention ppts..then you can get chains of them.

And shouldn't this be in another section? :wink:

Well, alright then, for the max.
You must start with 1000 g&r's
1-Buy a ppt Friday night, takes you to Sunday night
2-Buy a ppt Sunday night, that takes you to Tuesday night
3-Ascend, and then jump back into 5 G&R range, that ppt takes you to Thursday night
4-Take your first ppt Thursday night, that takes you to Saturday
5-Take another ppt Saturday night, takes you to Monday night.
6-Ascend again Monday night, that ppt takes you to Wednesday night. Jump back into 5 G&R range.
7-On Wednesday night take another ppt to Friday
8-On Friday take a second to Sunday night. Depending on how well you have timed your previous ones you may either be off ppt for a few minutes on Sunday or for a few hours until you can buy another one Monday
9-On Monday morning take a ppt to Wednesday morning.
10-Ascend again Wednesday morning, takes you to Friday morning.
11-Take a ppt Friday morning, takes you to Sunday morning. Depending on When you took your ppt monday will mean how long you be off until you can get another one.

lets see, that is 11 ppts/22 days. I think that is the max before you must be off for atleast 24 hours.

*Note, I have never actually done this...but it is just simple logic ;-)

Ok then, good answers. Now what if there is no ascension. How many ppt's would then be possible.

Like could i use 2 and then get ppl to buy me some?

You are limited to three (3) trades/donations combined per week, only 2 of which can include the protected planet treaty (PPT) bonuses per calander week.
For example, if you did 2 trades, and 1 donation, you would be at your maximum. If you traded for PPT, and donated - you would have but one non-PPT trade remaining.
Doing multiple or partial quantity of packages counts as 1 trade.

But is it possible to have more than 2 ppt's in 1 week without ascension.

Possible at all in anyway.

max would be 3 wuldnt it? buy 2 off the market then buy a third using real $$$. since a donation, even by another person on your account uses your MTs then only 3 are posible (excluding ascentions or timing it to go thru the market reset so you can redo the process)

This goes for donations as well according to what it says.

So lets say, i was watching an account of a player and when the new week clicked over they weren't on ppt.

90 minutes later the account went on to ppt and it wasn't from ascending.

So 2 minutes later i then buy that player their second PPT for the week.

So now 50 hrs later that player is on PPT again and didn't ascend.

How is this possible.

Are they cheating?

Is there a bug?
