Account sitting

Re: Account sitting

I like this; a lot of the most popular games carry this feature.

Basically, the way it could be implemented is as follows:
- Player A (sittee) can set Player B as his sitter (1-2 max sitters? mutual sitting only?) using Player B's account name/nickname.
- Player B can see who has enabled him/her to sit from ID settings or so.
- Player B "sits" Player A's account by logging in using Player A's account name/nickname but their own account password. (only gets access to the world(s) of Player A that player B is set to sit)

Re: Account sitting

No, again, that's why you have sleepmode. Account sitting smacks of cheating. I personally wouldn't use it, and while it wouldn't make me leave the game, it would make it even harder to land on the bigger allies. And only mildly harder to land on the smaller allies, as you'd still need the nightcover to be awake to take care of the accounts. Which seems to be the main problem anyways. Sorry, I still don't like it.

Fixed Sleepmode ftw!

Edit: Am currently still working my way through BWs posts so don't jump on me for a sleepmode solution yet please!

if you mean by account sitting that you log into your bro's account and vice versa, then it is cheating. it's in the eula you agreed to play by when you made your bush account.

whether you read it or not, doesn't matter.

if you mean account sit, by you two sit next to each other and organize your stuff together... then no that's not cheating. but you can't send your brothers staff to defend id 1 and he can't send yours out.

Re: Account sitting

the point is that you shouldn't do it at all because it's against the rules. I do hope azzer locates yours and your brother's account (which shouldn't be hard at all) and at least issues a warning if not lockage.

Re: Account sitting

LMAO.
haha that was classic.

And the point is, sleep is for pussies. Sleep is as much "cheating" as Account Sitting would be.
Games like these, they don't have "sleep" - although they might have vacation.

Sleeping is homo.
Sleep = homo.
got it?

Re: Account sitting

Sleep is as much "cheating" as Account Sitting would be.

Anything involving one person handling more than one account smells to high heavens of cheating to me. Even if it's allowed by the game it's revolting. One player; one ID.

Re: Account sitting

I agree with alci that "babysitting" an account and being able to use it as your own smells of cheating and blue cheese.

But what if sleepmode was fixed a bit:Somewhat higher seed production, and a wider range of timeperiods.

(say 6h minimum, and then increments of hours up to 1 day, then increments of days)

And then, to the issue at hand here: What if instead of a babysitter, a person could choose to have a custodian of the guard, who could not _play_ their account, but could do a limited number of actions:
Plant - Sell Plants - Send staff to ID 1 - Recall staff from ID-1

Planting and selling plants to make use of sun during the winter season.

Sending staff to ID 1 to save staff from LET rushes and bashes.
Recalling staff when incoming clears, or to last tick/middle tick.

So anyone going away would either have to choose sleep, with the benefit of not being attackable, but with little seed production, or they could choose to set a custodian who could save their staff from LETrushes and bashes, and get full seeds.

I think this would accomplish much of the OPs intentions, without being to abusive.

While I completely agree with you Alci, we can always put some limitations to sitting so it will not be completely disgusting.

Also, another thing when I usually make a suggestion is to ask myself what positive/negative things will the suggestion bring to the game. As long as the positive things outweigh the negative ones, the suggestion is good for me. In other words, yes, account sitting WILL bring negative things, but the advantages we can gain from such a feature are undoubtedly bigger, especially for the middle class players.

Re: Account sitting

To me account sitting means taking this game to a new level activity wise. There will no longer be possible to make a good ranking playing by your self, and you'll be dependent on having not just a decent alliance, but also good and active friends that can cover your ass while you're not on your shift.
