 Topic: Account Sitters
Posted: 29 Dec 2011 at 18:32 |
This thread has gotten quite confusing after having most of the content removed by the original posters. I've cleaned up any empty replies but for now I'd prefer it if everyone would continue this discussion in the second thread that has a poll.
I want to hear everyone's thoughts but let's try to keep it all in one place. If you need to reiterate your points in the new thread, feel free. Thank you.

Actually, having never been away from Illy more than a week or so, I have yet to draw full advantage of sitting, however, I have allowed new players to sit my account in the past so that they could send themselves basic resources from my cities, meaning I dont have to.
I know thats not how sitting is intended, but it really makes the game far more enjoyable that you can assist your allies with resources without having to go through the daily tedium of dispatching caravan after caravan. Maybe this feature could be altered to fit the game/intended purpose, like e.g. a pool of allied cities providing free resources for the new players to pick up as they like.
I have to say I disagree with Jane about the sitting option never being used at it is intended tho - many of my allies have utilised the sitting option when they have gone off for a holiday. Even if its just to allow little tweaks and details to be sorted while away, its always good to leave your account in ACTIVE hands - that way you don't get any nasty surprises when you come back.

How would you suggest Account Sitting was 'intended' to be used, Jane? This is a genuine question, BTW.

I think you can type something in the global chat window to pull up the last 24 hours quite easily.

what's wrong in a sitter being able to send armies to a stone? A sitter could participate in a war on your behalf, tournament is not half as serious as that!

Account sitting seems useless.

I'm going to stop arguing with you, Rill, I've more than made the point I was trying to convey. If you have further comments, please send them via private message.

Jane is a fellow Crow and no one from HUGS has any desire to see her attacked or harmed in any way. Nor should anyone be attacked for expressing an opinion in the forum.

When you use a particular person as an example, you should probably be sure that your understanding of what is happening in regard to that person is accurate. In this case, it was not.
I respectfully request that you delete all references to the person from your posts. I will then delete all of my posts and we can end this farce. |
Since a screenshot was not taken to support the OP's claim, I would recommend the person's account named in question be removed from all posts in this thread.
