Suggestion: "Player is away for x days" button

I like the idea of an "Away Button" or sign/notification for neighbors. It might need parameters though - like max days. Another thing that would be cool is if the "Away Button" could extend your tasks and prorate cash and xp for it while your away so that it continues to accumulate. Or at least won't let your crops die.

That would be abused though. I'd set an 1 hour task, put up the away thing while at work, then hit an amount close to the time away.

It'd have to have a limit like 1 cycle after. So if you did 24s, the max it could reach would be 2 24s set, and work the same way down the ladder. 1 hour would only hit max after a second hour.

Or a general display message text when someone visits me that I enter.
Ideas...

I'm on vacation until 1/20/2015.
Online and I'm visiting my TSTO friends.
Online and lodge hunting.
Online and in my Springfield.
Offline.
Please tap my type_of_building.
Please no graffiti. (Not that I care, but some do.)

yeah, i guess. ok how about, a notification sign for visiting neighbors and just don't let my crops die.

You guys are either amazing or amusing... Lol

I really don't bother if one is on vacation... Anyone not login for a week, I'd just delete the player, and make room for others.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, now. What I imagined was a simple notice that can be customized. Tap a button, and you can enter up to, say, 25 characters. "I'm away until blahblah" or whatever. But that may be abused by dumb messages that you have to tap through every time. So your idea is good! A series of buttons. But to avoid abuse, it should be a few selections in a small window, like "Away until... " "On Vacation until..." "Will return on..." and then you can type or select a date. And when they return, and play again, it'll come up with a notice that says you marked yourself away until such and such a date, do you want to mark yourself back?

Since it's a topic of discussion- how about a notice button that displays a message in your town to neighbors when you are away for more than a day? Something simple like "on vacation" so your neighbors have a reason for you not tapping/clearing your town?

I agree with you, OP ?

I give a 2 to 4 week before deleting my neighbor. It really depends on who the person is also and what type of town they have. I do like the idea of posting some kind of message that I are away though.

Would be an awesome idea to have it as a feature. And it would be very useful to the members that aren't on the forums :mrgreen:

I think there should be something on the neighbour page under the name saying,"Vacation." Why bother with having to go into their town?
