Moncofa,
Folks have made moves for friends in emergencies but the practice of "sharing accounts" is not encouraged because it can be abused;
So please don't accept my answer as a final word because I cannot accept the responsibility for any problem that may result for you.

PS:
This is also a topic that needs to be under "Questions" where you might get someone to give an authoritative answer.

The funny thing is that you won't be punished by Req for this but you may not like what your proxy does in your absence! I heard people say that when they do this they come back and the game is lost because of the lousy moves the friend made.

Perhaps a better idea is to message your opponents and ask them to lay off while you are gone. Most if not all players will honor this request. You should tell them when you return and before you do anything in the game.

haha or your game can be hijacked *looks at Raptor* I saw first hand what he is capable of.. ouch.
In my experience having someone cover your games isnt necesarily wrong.. however dont abuse it.
Asking for NAPS may not work because the other players may not respond or agree with it.
Good luck

well in my opinion, SINCE, Moncofa stated that he needed the time (in this case 'cause he would be out, but it's not important in any case).

Any of the options would be OK, probably i would prefer to "share" my pass (can it be changed afterwards?). Because in that way, it would NOT break/suspend some other player's game.
(ok he could use it to better his position, more troops, techs, etc, but that would put me in even more dire a place right?).

Besides, the NAP thing, could has have been posted before... not fulfield OR taken some time to be implemented.

I give an example...

I've just finished an AutoBattle, but at start, i warned my opponent, that I WOULD have to go and make (more receive) a BIG phonecall (around 20 to 30 minutes) that i couldn't avoid. And He said that that was ok, he would go out and smoke a bit.
I promissed to send him a message when that happened, and vice-versa.

Now when the call come, I DID send a message, after it i warn him that i've come back, and discover that 2 turns have been played... my luck was that HE was had alreday a lost game in hand, but managed to destroy a quarted of my army in those turns.
When i asked about what had happened the answer was...

"The game AUTO forces a turn after 12m idle" which i've in some games allowed my opponents to have, AND don't remember the game force turning for itself, and that he HAD force turned once.

Sooooo... though i can't generalise, in a game that i'm playing for example i have an ally that has fulfield every word he's said until now and he HAD the oportunity to break it and wipe me a few times, even so i advise the "sharing the pass" option, but ofcourse that one must accept what that involves.

Sorry to all for the LONG text

Some posts are just too "short n'sweet" IMO especially when they are off topic, in a thread under the wrong heading and drag another's signature into it.
