Dormant in ?

I was looking for a particular player and the search function gave me 16 players and 4 dormant hidden from view players with the option to see them.
Turns out that one of them was last playing (from what I could tell for certain) at least three-and-a half months ago.
Is there a full fledged dormant account policy yet?  How long can you be away from the game before you are declared dormouse dormant? What are the consequences, if any, for being so quiet?

  • Their dried and flaky remnants should be ground via mortar and pestle to create a new item called Idler Powder.  When sniffed, like snuff, the player gains energy and mood from standing still and chatting.

  • Nanookie, that's terrific!  We could also burn the powder to send smoke signals (via e-mail) to the player's account, asking him to return.
     
    In a random search, the most recently-active dormant player I found was last active on June 4th, which was about eleven weeks ago.  How could he possibly have stayed away from Glitch for so long?!

  • @caley dunn: I guess two things are clear by now:

    1. There is a wonderful sense of humor here.
    2. We don't have the slightest idea about how to answer your question.

  • I'm thinking we go all Dark Crystal on them and drink their essence for free energy and immunity to idle energy loss.

  • LMAO @ Skwid - that must be the interrogation room we don't see!  The one we do, is just for PR purposes! :-)

  • Having learned a new word today from katlazam, and adding another, I think we should call it Insufflaneur, from Flaneur and Insufflate.  

    *sniffs*

  • quick off-topic @ Skwid: My daughter was "Kira" at WorldCon'84 in L.A..she and her friend did a hand-painted panel for the background, and they constructed 3 of the character/puppets that would appear on top of the panel, as they played out a short scene from the film..it was pretty amazing ..they won Best of Show (i think..can't remember exactly..lol) in the Novice Class....

    On-topic(sort of):  Oh my Giants., Skwid,...ancestors of the Rook? The resemblance is striking!!
       (luv the film too....lol)

  • We don't have a dormant account policy right now. There are no "consequences" — we're just trying to keep the player search useful :)

  • Yes yes! This is where all the free energy we get at the start of a new day comes from. It makes total sense! Drain the living essence from our Glitchens while we aren't logged in and give it to those who are logged in for free!

    Diabolical!

    (Thanks for the clarification Stoot!)
