It would be nice say “Please be patient - I’m on vacation till XXX” on our profile page to avoid multiple forum messages with basically the same content.
Maybe the PYDT client could show this information via an icon or a color (like background color yellow).
I think this is a good idea, I’ll definitely try to get around to it at some point!
There’s now support for going into “Vacation Mode” and adding a comment/status to your avatar - for games that support turn timers (Civ 5/Beyond Earth) vacation mode will also automatically skip your turn while you’re in vacation mode.
