No they are not - they are - as the rules/game mechanics are now - removed from the game after a longer period of inactivity - this period can be extended by appointing a sitter at the inactivity offset by up to 3 months, but the players are NOT kicked from their alliance throughout their inactivity.
I think that inactivity should cancel out any form of false protection/conservation. Free for all, fair for all.

Players are eventually removed from the alliance, and THEN the game.

Well I stand by my opinion Kilo - regardless if it is inconvenient to you.

now now... bad gaming culture????
i respect your opinion that it may seem cheap, but i would really appreciate if you would not try to force your point of view on others by making a GM change this.
That would be really rude and a symptom of intolerance toward those that benefit from this useful game function that is city capturing.
i understand that some may take pride in their own cities and their hard work on those...
but for non prestige user as myself this has proven an useful game mechanic quite some times already.

- Then do what any other rule abiding player would do - remove the inactive cities.
- I agree with you completely here Kilo - its an underhanded exploit handing an unfair advantage on to selected newbie players - Its a symptom of a bad gaming culture where its more about beating the system (finding loopholes to exploit) than it is to work and build up your own product.
The Discussion between me and SC was about inactives automatically being kicked from alliances once they had been away for 1-2 months - to prevent precisely this kind of behaviour in Illy. Based on this convo I am now convinced that it is the right thing to do, and I would very much like to hear the GMs adress the issue.

I remember having a discussion with Stormcrow about this very issue a few months back - Hope he'll drop in for a discussion.

Its pathetic in my opinion to conservate dead accounts to use as a loophole instead of investing time in the newplayers coming to Illy.
So yeah, the word dishonorable is not completely off the mark - a poor excuse for a borderline exploit is another way of putting it. We just got rid of the problem with constant sitting and now you scramble to find another way of using the system to your advantage?
And we adopt new players in Illy constantly - dont understand how you could think otherwise.

lol...is this kind of action, the preservation of the ally's wealth, dishonourable in your opinion? i as HighWard of Beardling of DLord think its not. its my responsibility to provide help and assist the new generation of dwarfs... or is it that your ally does not recruit newbies?
