The game already handles this with auto-removals and auto-pause code.  
There is absolutely NO acceptable reason to act on inactivity. What  
needs to be done is being done by the game. Anyone who thinks the  
times are too long, or any other reason to pre-empt the auto-actions  
is breaking Inalienable Right #1.


If someone logs in once a week so he doesn't get auto-paused, and is  
"holding the realm back" with that cycle, find IN GAME ways to deal  
with it. Incapable, insane or otherwise less-than-perfect nobles were  
a perfectly normal thing in the real middle ages and life went on and  
wars were fought anyways.
