How long is too long to be inactive before you're killed, even if factoring in the player's history of activity, work ethic and real life ups n downs? If a player is on daily, contributes regularly, votes truthfully and then suddenly goes inactive...rather than killing them (considering how hard it is to stay alive for long periods) are there other ways to deal with these particular players? What if something serious happened in their real life that prevents them from logging in (health issue, jail, loss of house and electricity, etc) but said person DEFINITELY wants to continue the game when they are able to, is there not a way to implement a program where admins protect these accounts for a certain period? Players can choose to sign a "life support" agreement that says if they disappear they will be kept alive for x amount of time and if not back after that time frame THEN they die. OR, CL's can tie into their rules how long they will allow a person to go IA before pew pew. At least this gives people a chance to make it back before they get GOT! lol

The main reason i bring this issue up is it strikes close to home. I am an active duty US Navy Special Warfare Commander and there are some times where I have to disappear for weeks on end, however once I return I would want to jump right back into where I was and NOT find out I was killed cuz I had to leave to defend you buncha bums and your freedom!! :-P LOL! just kidding!!! Now my CL knows I'm pretty active, but if i went missing one day I would hope it would be assumed that I deployed "unexpectedly" and will be MIA for an allotted period of time. Obviously I would want to come back to familiar things tho i know wars change that and barring a death in a war, why could't I be left alone until I returned?

In the above hypothetical with me, how long is too long? Also, what do admins/players think of idea to implement "life support" for MIA players?

Most leaders will give preferential treatment to those who have earned their goodwill. If a good member suddenly drops off the map, a leader is going to be very, very reluctant to remove that person and this will likely be their last resort.

Agreed about communication with CL being best however I'm more talking about a scenario where say something occurs and there IS no ability to contact CL. My case with my job sure My CL would be very understanding and lenient since they would most likely assume I got deployed however for others, let's say they have an accident and can't function for two and a half weeks then they return to find themselves dead.. That sucks lol... Gotta be a way to make arrangements for something like this without killing since it's possible if crew needs room can just temporarily release person and place protection order no?

I am inclined to agree that no admin input is required here tbh...If RL issues are a consideration that can be considered ahead of time then as mentioned a message on your profile will cover this. That aside should something unexpected come up as has been said your contribution to the family, the communications you have already had with your CL, the impression you have made overall and also that balance between having your hardest working guys with you and respecting that out of this world things might need to be considered is a matter of judgement for each CL and part of their role. Just today we had to take a difficult choice about a member who had been of value but 18 days IA meant on balance a difficult discussion needed to be had to make room for active participating people. It is sometimes a harsh life in the mafia but if your value to the family holds steadfast should never be a concern no matter what RL things may crop up along the way.

Where are you stationed out of?

How long is too long?

Ask yo momma ;)

Coronado California John....and thank you Harambe may you rest in peace you poor gorilla 

What is your mos?

well I once went MIA for 3 weeks, expecting to be killed off. heh nope, I was alive when I got back. cowluh ftw! 

John I'm Navy therefore don't have an MOS...my officer designator however would be 1130..

Think you for for serving VinniBoombatz.  Ride with the suggestion to contact your CL when you are going to MIA.  If CL's and their most trusted RH can go inactive for the most part, you should be alright.

don't follow what this above post means..

the original intent of this article was to start a discussion not to address any situation involving me as an individual there is NONE...i only used my situation as an example and Isabella i appreciate your support of my service but i'm more than happy doin it :D

1130 lol

i miss somethin Roland? I want in on the joke...

I think he's mocking you for bragging about being a SEAL commander on an online mafia role playing game. Thats all man.

There was no mocking from this woman. I spotted a post a post modified in which I was referring too. My last post had nothing to do with  VinnieBoombatz. In my previous post I meant what I said when I thanked him for his service. Have a nice day MikhailKomarov.
