Instead, we provide small advantages here and there, like being able to go to bed without worrying about that guy who has been scouting you all day. The bottom line here is that we have to make money or there is no game.
thank you dawnseeker for putting up a sensible reply on this post, I do appreciate it. Although, I am still a little disappointed at the idea of "some people will opine that something is unfair". I am also disappointed in, "Instead, we provide small advantages here and there, like being able to go to bed without worrying about that guy who has been scouting you all day." I have no problem with that idea, that is what a truce or dream truce are for.... right? But, going back to the heart of this thread..... back to back truces..... to, back to back.... to, back to back.... to, back to back.... to, back to back... to, back to back.... etc.

that seems like, to me, more than a "small advantage"

but, I do appreciate you throwing down that this is a business... I guess that the players who do not spend money on the game to not be in truce for 22 hours a day are not as important to the business because they are not spending the volume of money as the players who are in truce 22 hours a day.
Bottom line, I guess that is what your point is. And, I thank you for sharing that.
