The Battle vs. Account Sharing - What can be done?
The issue:
Paid pilots (or even just sharing for free), and 24/7 clouding ability
An idea:
Implement a time limit for each village to be logged in per week, based loosely on established human sleep needs. The average human should obtain 8 hours of sleep per night (google the studies, they are numerous) - this leaves 16 waking hours per day. But since there are weekends, vacations, and binges - let's adjust the system a little to allow for more flexibility. We do this by making the limit on a weekly basis. So in a week there ought to be 56 hours of sleep (7x8), and 112 waking hours (7x16). Now let's reward true addicts, and raise the waking hours number to 130 hours per week.
If a village uses up it's 130 hours in the week, it then has a cool down for the remainder of the week. Before commenting on this being too strict, please note that this means that a person only sleeps 5.43 hours per night, and is logged in 18.57 hours per day, every day, for 7 days.
Will there still be pilots? Yeah, I think so. But their edge over those of us playing it straight will be diminished.
