At present, users who haven't logged in have their parties deactivated after 7 days. I would like to suggest this be reduced, perhaps to 3 days. I do not want this to come across as a personal criticism of anyone; there are, of course, all sorts of very understandable reasons why a player might not be able to log in. Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is that parties being inactive can cause a lot of disruption and logjam in nations. This is especially so when it comes to Cabinets, budgets and treaties, all of which require an enhanced majority in order to be passed.
If my proposed reduction in the time limit won't be accepted for the game in general, then may I be so bold as to suggest a special exception be made for Dranland? I suspect most of my Dranish friends would agree with this, though obviously they can speak for themselves. Dranland is one of the more high-activity nations, which means, I feel, that inactive, non-voting parties are more of a problem for us here than they would be elsewhere.
