Game moderator help needed, and cannot use getting help page

Several of my nations are about 26 days inactive, and not in vacation mode. Due to the ban on paradise.net.nz, I cannot log in to prevent them expiring myself. I cannot access the Getting Help page either.

I'd rather not post the names of all of these nations on the forum, and the forum doesn't seem to want to let me log in as any of my nations apart from this one (which should already be in vacation mode), so I suggest the following:

A game moderator sends an email to the address associated with the nation Mr Ledge, telling me what information I'll need to send back. When I receive the email, I'll post the subject line here, then the game mod who sent the email can post here to confirm that it is indeed from them, and not anyone else who might know or guess my email address. I will then reply to the email with the names of my nations and whatever other information is needed.

If there's a better method or this isn't viable, then please tell me.

would be a shame to lose your nations that way, even if you could revive them..

E-mail repprodthemod(at)hotmail.com with the names of your nations. That's all that's needed. Alternatively, she might not mind if you telegram her...

Alternatively, if you felt like trusting me, I would be willing to log into your nations once and put them into vacation mode for you.

Or you could get a new ISP. I can't believe they won't do anything about the rogue user. Did they even reply to your complaint emails?

The message that comes up informing you of the Clear.net.nz ban has an e-mail address you can use to get your nations put into Vacation mode.

All nations have been told not to give out their password. Let the moderators handle this rather than other players; it's safer.

<--- not a moderator.

Not that it's any of your business, but he's my friend, the mods were slow, and his nations have died.

[violet], could I ask you something... this message you talk about. What if a user gets that message and puts random nations into vacation mode? It's easily fixable but a waste of time right?

Tuesday is right, I remember the mods telling players NOT TO GIVE THEIR PASSWORDS AWAY to anyone they cannot believe or trust, due to possible nation hacks. Plus, if you DID hack his nation, you'd be deleted and be put on a DEAT on sight order.

So, since this is an obvious fact, why are you wasting your time posting here? I'm not some random stranger or a clueless n00b, I was offering to help out a friend (even though it's too late now anyway), and I honestly don't need your preaching. How about stopping butting into other peoples' business, hmmm?

Seriously. There's better and less annoying ways to increase your postcount.

How about YOU stop butting in? No one can tell fro sure if you really are trying to help or not. And watch your manners, man. Especially talking to one of the oldest nations. or any of the mods, for that matter.

EDIT - As I understand, the mods have put his nation into Vacation mode.

I can tell for sure - or well enough that I'm satifsied with the answer, anyway. And since we're talking about the passwords to my nations, that's what counts, right? Tar A is indeed a good friend, and someone I'd consider trustworthy enough to be given the passwords to these nations. Unfortunately, I seem to have overestimated the time the nations had left.

In any case, there's no need for this argument. Yes, giving passwords of any sort to anyone you don't know well and consider trustworthy is certainly a bad idea, but that wouldn't have been the case here.

C'mon, LE, you're picking on me because of my founding date? My main nation is just barely younger than yours (by not even a month). Regardless, though, you should try to be a little more polite.
