  Vaction Mode  

Any empire entering vaction mode should lose all slave empires. It is unfair for someone to enslave people and then keep them because thier protected and can`t lose power.

I don`t pay anything. B And, I did suggest a change simply add to the line about conditions for leaving Slave empire status. Just add " or VM = 1" where VM = vacation mode and 1 means its on and 0 means its off. Its just that si mple and people who wish to leave slaved status can leave parkers. Parking should be illegal and the way to stop that is make people have to wait before they can reeneter VM.

Year after year I see the same old threads. Its a matter of perspective, this game is already dead and has been for a long time. This is the after life and instead of moaning and crying over the same old things just be at peace for a change and succumb to accepting the way things are while doing what you can to make a difference in your own small part of the galaxy.

By doing nothing they promote parkers. But, its only a symptom of the bigger issue discussed here. The person who is susposed to program this game doesn`t know a for from next. And, the game is dying at least in part because of it.

Again, I understand your point of view, but I don`t really see it as being that large of an issue. Besides, it`s been brought up at least once a year, every year... Since before dirt was old. It`s never been permanently addressed and never will.

Sorry dudeski. :/

well for parkers with slaves they gain money while not chancing losing anything.
Instead of chaning parkers powe temporariliy you could just add to the code that test power levels and and add "Or VM = 1" to the current if statement. VM = vacation mode though code might have different variable. And, it assumes using simple of one method for testintg VM. Which should be enough unless tehre are different kinds of VM.

Why bother? You have a tribute cap, so unless you`re logging in every day to collect it, you`re losing income in VM as a slaver.

I understand the frustration, but I`ve never found this to be such a big deal TBH.

also by not putting restriction on vaction mode you encourage people o use vacation mode to stay at the top of list and to farm other players. I have seen alot of complaints about people p[arking. And, it seems the people running the game are encouring it.

That explains alot. If the coder doesn`t know the game then he`s not the original creator.
No one could have made this game and know so little about it Maybe they whould find the orginal creator. This eplains why the game is dying too. The game has no innovation.

it`s not coded because we can`t code anything into the game because the staff doesn`t have coding access and we have a game creator who doesn`t know anything about the coding of his own game and won`t touch it unless something breaks, and then he just patches or copy/paste code from some where else which just leads to other issues. but yeah..

it`s not against the rules to vm if you have slaves, but if you read the rules thread, you can ask an admin to freeze the person who has you enslaved that is in vm, making their power rating 1,500 until they login so you can free yourself

i can think of 2 possibilities....if the enslaver doesn`t climb too high when going into vm or if the slave empire wants to remain a slave empire.

slave empires shouldn`t be "given" freedom except from the enslaver...they still should have to free themselves but i agree there has to be a reasonable chance for them to do so.

why isn`t coded if its the rule? Just automatically remove all slave empires upon entering vaction mode.

Vacation, not vaction :P

But I am with you on that one.

You are exactly right. It`s already a rule, you just need to notify an admin and they will lower their PR so you can free yourself
