It is a little silly. I do actually know of a nation in this game which
is still VIABLE and no way anyway near being out of the game that is
inactive and getting Collapsed and No Longer active messages

You're saying that you got "collapsed and no longer active" for a
nation, which then came back to life? If you are, that changes things a
lot. That would be a serious error in the program, because it's
basically telling you a lie and defeating your efforts to play
intelligently, unfairly.

If this is what happens, then the GM should not allow such nations to be
picked up.

Clint, I think you really need to look in to this one.

Short of re-programming, the only work around I can think of, would be
for the GM to send out an announcement to all players whenever an idle
nation gets picked up by a stand by.

Yes this is the generic style - FA games (in the UK don't know the DGE style
yet) don't get players take ups.Partially due to the lack of popularity of
FA in the UK I guess. in normal games this message would come up as well.
This is not the major point of the discussion about the turn number being
the relevant aspect. The fact that you got a "nation is dead" message does
not mean that the nation cannot be picked up at a later date (with all the
penalties that are then ascribed to missing FOUR turns as in this example)
and although has some bearing is not the major discussion point. :slight_smile: (To
repeat myself)

remember things like character slots aren't opened up for the nation
that has missed turns and is back on the turn clock...
