Yea, the automatic vacations can be a great feature - for people who may lose internet access or some other emergancy keeps them from their games, but it does seem that it gets abused more then not.

At some point Fencer plans on putting a limit on how many auto-vacation days can be taken at one time (so for example - only 5 auto-vacations at one time) can be taken - but this is NOT IN PLACE YET since Fencer has had other issues to take care of, but I do believe it is on his 2-do-list.
