Yep, I have agreed that nothing that we have the power to do or are allowed to do will stop spies. So, if you say HT said the 12hour rule has nothing to do with spies then I'll take your word.
What I don't agree with Ink is that last post you put up. Even during off hours some of us still try to take bases, and myself and some other Knights are often attempting to do this outnumbered anyways. I'm not saying you, but I'm saying others that switcy (or will under shorter allowance,) knew what myself and others like Zooty were up to and now all of a sudden they are killing us, and then ~30 minutes later they are doing the same thing to another country and another 30 mins later back here they are again saying "hi old friend." No thank you.
I don't know what works for both of us, 2 hours is about the least I can see not to interrupt certain other aspects, and I'd think from all the comm here that's not enough for you.
However, Delirium's idea is worth more consideration. If no perks were given to someone who switched more than once during a certain time frame...have to think about that more, but sounds good so far.
I hope the lot of you get some version of your wish here, but as you know you they can't cater to a smaller group's wishes if it irritates the larger group's. I'm not saying which group is which as I have no way of knowing for sure, but it is a speculation that those that want this rule change may not be the majority.
