Why the is person in first place in reg in protection? Is someone really pulling that SAME stunt AGAIN? Can't we PLEASE get the vacation function fixed so it can't be abused?

really?
vacation abuse is when you vacation to protect ur net rite?
Pies.

Yeah, but since there isn't really a war on it is unlikely that they are on vacation for defense purposes, unless there is something going on that I'm unaware of.

Cloud had to go away, seeing as he is kind of deployed right now he can't always get on the internet. Also, he is in inactive protection so he let himself be unprotected for 5 days or w/e the limit is, so come on.

Why should he mention it at all?
Why is it the whole game's business when someone comes and goes?  This is not Twitter.  And this is not Elementary School.  You do not have to ask for permission to go to the bathroom.
Why is it now immediately considered cheating if you go on vacation?

Come on yall, this is getting really annoying.  I'm pretty sure Cloud had that chunk of net for quite some time before he idled out with it.

Also, it is Summer time for most of us.  A time of constant comings and goings, some planned and some unplanned.  People -are- going to set the accounts in vacation mode or idle out over the next few months.  Its just going to happen, and I really dont want to see one of these topics for every one of them, even if they do have some net when they go.

I couldn't post because of OPSEC (operation security). We were moving from one FOB to Another. My internet access is very limited right now, and will most likely become more limited in the future. In the next couple of days I will decide whether or not I'll be able to keep up some decent type of activity or not, and if I'll still be able to play anymore. Sorry that my deployment gave all of you such an inconvenience.

He didn't necessarily have to warn us himself, but given recent happenings, it would have been nice for someone to have told us that the #1 guy was about to go on vacation, so that we didn't jump to conclusions. Windy, you can't really be so blind that you can't see how someone might see this as a repeat of what others have already done. There is a difference between having "some net" and having the MOST net when you go on vaca. Given recent abuses of the vacation function, it's only natural that people would be suspicious when yet ANOTHER account that is in 1st place goes on vaca.

Cloud, you couldn't even have said "my account is going on vacation, sorry, I'll explain later"?

Easy Gorak, unneccissary crap is not appreciated. I admit it would have been convenient to give notice, and we know for next time. Let's not have a hissy fit, windy brought forth good points.

I'm with snare.

By the way, the insinuation that windy is menstruating, and thus saying things that aren't correct, is a personal attack... something you know shouldn't be happening on the forums. It's also something my ex girlfriend would have kicked you for. This is a warning.
