PPT and game downtime

Just for future.
If the game's going to go down for 15 hours plus, could it NOT be deducted from my PPT?
I know because I use UU gained while on PPT to balance the cost of my next PPT.
If I'm meant to earn say 24kUU during PPT, and that's the cost of the next one, since there's a chunk of time that came out of my PPT that I still didn't gain turns for, I end up gaining 13.4kUU... well it puts a dent.
Could down-time please be added to our PPT time when the game comes back online? (ESPECIALLY if our PPT ran out during the downtime)

What do you guys think?

as far as we know, when the game is down, no time passes ingame...

Yes... but the value of when our PPT expires is a value saved in the game.
In addition, when the game came back with PPT on for everyone, I had the same amount of PPT as my officer (1480 minutes or so). but when the game went offline I was only 12 hours into a PPT of my own... so shouldn't I have started with a full PPT when the game came up unless they deleted the PPT credit I already had before I got my 24 hours?

the mass ppt feature probably doesnt take into account old ppts... simply because that could set total ppt time over 48 hrs...

well i have the same problem.

And what is wrong if we would have total ppt time over 48h?
i somehow loged in yestrday and i saw 4,000 minutes of ppt and today there was only 1,000 minutes. Obvisly more than 48h ppt can be done.

do you mean advance the game too include the downtime ie set 1 turn =1sec and alow too run for 40sec if down time = 20hrs ? then reset turn time and give everyone ppt.

Yeah. When the server messed, I left my account out because I thought it would be safe with admin's PPT plus my old PPT. Hope that guy like my 23 bil... :?
