Auto kicking.

Due to information recently made public;

http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/crow-member-hotattack_topic2291.html

I suggest that all inactive accounts are automatically kicked from their respective alliance after 2 months of player-absense.

The reason is that it has become a far too common practice for new inexperienced players to take over dormant large cities within an alliance. It is key to maintaining a committed Illyriad community that players feel they have made an investment of time in their account and are rewarded accordingly.

The alternative means cheapening the game considerably and admit potent inexperienced players with a complete disregard for their own and others accounts, thus making the game far less attractive for the vast majority of stable dedicated players that ultimately are contributors to the community.

While no harm needs to come to an inactive player that has been ejected from an alliance, it is reasonable that other/active players has some measure of insight into the activity of their surrounding neighbours as many are already competing for attractive areas to settle new cities in, and the game itself should always benefit/present choices to the active player.
