24FEB15 - ACCOUNT SITTING 90-DAY LIMIT

Just reminding that its 3 days still date in the original post. We had a initial issue with the mails and the IGMs were a little "wall of text" but this is now fixed.

That's what I think would happen...

This will break some supply routes, but that was very necessary. Now the only way to get lots of towns is the HARD way up the pop ladder =)

The difficulty with that approach, is that the cities and accounts were being run within the rules, so it would be unfair to penalise players this way. Others in this thread have posted about 'shared accounts', outside the rules; those accounts are potentially subject to action.

Perhaps a painless tactic can be used to help solve the issue with multis, gifted and password sharing.

Devs announce a set period of time, lets say around the same time all these permasits vanish, where as all multis, gifted and password sharing is forgiven if your gifted accounts and multis over two are abandoned and password sharing stops.

From that day forward all new infractions will be dealt with.
