Inactivity rule

Being active is a big part of this game. We have had to make this rule because we had 15+ players yesterday that we expelled for not being active. All of these players had not logged in for over a month. That brought on the talks about this rule we are enforcing.
As much as it pains me to expel any member we must do what is best for the whole group.
So we will expel any member that has not logged in for 1 month.
We feel that after 1 month you have abandoned the game.
We understand that people have real life things going on that might prevent them being here for a length of time. If you feel that you are going to be inactive for whatever reason all you have to do is inform our host or either one of our vice hosts. And we will make an exception and extend that time period. But this is your responsibility as we have no way to get a hold of you outside of the game.

Some have expressed that they wish for us to take into consideration prestige into this rule. And amount of activity prior to absence. So this is what we will do.
1. If your prestige is higher than 200K we will extend that time period to 2 months.
2. If you were very active in our wars and helped out your team mates we will extend it to 2 months.

Please understand that we can not make any more exceptions as this game greatly depends on your participation.

Many of you will ask why we have decided to enforce this rule. So before you ask I will tell you.
1. You are not helping out yourself or the alliance by not being here.
2. We can not expect a member to reinforce you if they think you are gone and no longer playing the game. It would be essentially protecting a dead city
3. Things and relationships with other alliances changed daily. The information you knew 1 week ago can no longer be accurate. Leading to you attacking someone that is no longer allowed to be attacked. This causes the whole alliance to get back into a war.
4. Frankly if you are gone that long your city will starve leaving you with no troops in it. Leaving you unable to help or even defend your own city.
I can go on and on but these are the main reasons.

So how do you avoid being booted:
1. At least log in if you are unable to play this tells us that you are still here
2. Send us a note telling us you plan to be gone and eta if known on your return
