It seems odd to me that "Last online" information is always available to every member of an alliance. This represents a real problem for security, one which I realized and should have mentioned before it became an issue for Harmless.
It seems to me this information ought to be available only to members with in a roll including some prerequisite permission.

Why would 'when someone was last online' be a security issue ? Handing out user names e.mail address's and passwords i can see being an issue but not times when online ? or am i just missing something

Spies know when players have been away for a few days, and attack while they're out of town. Those same spies generally know when a player doesn't have sitters as well--especially if sitter activity registers the same as original player activity.

I think you're being a little paranoid here, who'd do such a thing?

Well people are ready to do weirdest things for their cities in data-space. (is it even a word?..) I would see that this will be a major problem in future as tiny as the problem seems today.

I think you should give humanity more credit, I for one don't think anyone worth note would debase his honour for such a trifling reward as victory in an online game.

He's being cheeky because he and I both well know he has a spy doing just this.
Now I just ignore him as I would any other troll.
