hi, actually if you read it, there is no mention of vacation,, but it can be used for that too, its for giving someone full rights to an account, control of everything but prestige usage, thats why doing inactive accounts limits the power of account sitting...especially with the addition of alliance prestige pool that we use for speed building of accounts and military buffs, personally i have others do the military from twilights account and i work on military sov grounds and resource production...i also watch for incoming attacks from a certain sector and plan defense against them....account sitting greatly increases the fun during war times while allows others parts of the game to be play uninterrupted

Actually thats not a bad idea. I find gathering tedious. But if someone I knew loved to just sit there and gather I would def let them do it for me.
On the flip side if they don't like dealing with troops, I could do it for them.
Yea not a bad idea, but not exactly what sitting is really meant to be I think. I was under the impression its meant for vacations.

actually if u using an inactive account in sitting u are limiting all the benefits that sitting offers...oh by the way this twilights, its just that so many people use that account i use this name in forums and i listed it in account set up....anyways if u have someone in charge of military and a person in charge of harvesting, and share the parts of the game u dont get so busy in the game, it allows u to log in and enjoy, this way when at war u can still do other aspects of the game....it also helps having someone watch the account 24/7 not only for defense but in building, it allows the account to become an alliance account and brings closer game play between members of the alliance...its a great aspect that illyriad has, something that can make the game alot more fun

It is my observation that perma-sat accounts are often used to start conflicts as they are considered "disposable" to the operator. So, the perma-sat attacks someone and the alliance then kicks the perma-sat account or holds on to it depending on the response. Perma-sat accounts also tend to be used as supply bases more than troop bases. They will build armies over time, but they tend to be one-off uses and not regularly, diligently rebuilt (due to the player effort required). Perma-sat cities are usually not defended by the active members of an alliance and will be allowed to fall to sieges easily. Again, the result of little emotional investment from the operator.

I have used account sitting on other games, not this one. From experience I find that account sitting, permanently, hurts an alliance more than helps. The alliance benefits more by dividing up the towns between active players.

In my opinion, permasat accounts, in which a player controls more than two accounts, are of little benefit to an alliance in war. The alliance would be better off with a competent player actively managing an account than with an account sat by someone who is trying to use six accounts. Perhaps there are people who can play three, four or six accounts competently; I know I am not one of them.
