I've been trying that for awhile now. As I said many times before life has this bad habit of getting busy. Sometimes pastimes need to be put on the back burner. After a rough month and two weeks of a daily 8-5 graduate course it would be nice to take a Friday evening and return to a fun pastime you haven't done in awhile. It's not nice to come back and have a near full item wipe just because you neglected to play the game.

If you were active and just didn't care, why do you cry around here, like a child whom toys was taken away.

Somehow I think that if it were really important there would be a way to resolve it. I have a feeling that if someone passed a check for a few grand to Stefan that within a month we could have an elegant, refined, and more balanced system to clean up abandoned houses without wiping those that were left alone because a person couldn't play for a period of time.

What about the people who can't play for more severe issues? Accident? Hospital stay? Computer dies and they can't afford a new one? Abusive family? Graal would/should be even less important to them during times like those but in the future if they ever want to come back they'd be very much screwed over if they're the type who builds houses. Oh, and I don't remember a "Let's compare this argument about a game to a real life serious issue" metaphor ever working. Please don't go there. I do enough facepalm.jpg in my daily life as is.
