TBH I do not miss the daily farm / grind / repeat quests

As a solution; find something equally geeky that will fit your sleep cycle (I stopped WOW & Started painting again)

Its Travian, and I am aiming to be the meanest Roman on the server. I cant increase my storage Robin, and I know that TW is right all things being equal. But if I slip up, and dont wake up, would option 2 turn out to have been a better move.

What game is this which demands such intervention? Why can't you increase capacity of your storage facilities?

Maybe there is a commercial solution, a baby sitting service akin to the Chinese gold farms.

Is he talking about an online game?

Of thank god for that. I thought I thought it was all real and this was a battle going on inside his head.

Phew. What a relief. For a moment there, I thought EO was one of those mentalists.

but given human foibles, if there is a sudden disaster, what then is the right answer

imagine an upset

ie a piss up
a wedding
a funeral
a holiday

or some other weird variable

I hear we sleep in 4 hour cycles anyway, so no problemo. Alternatively, have you considered sleeping at work?
