They would really enjoy the utopia knockoff where you actually pay them to gain bonuses to your province. That's pay to win. What we have in utopia is pay to give the guy with a flu a break or pay to let the guy who has a wedding to attend not have to check his phone the entire time.
In about 10 hours I'll have to set sitter for 1 day due to a dinner with the inlaws. I hope that's alright with you (I should have checked first). It would be fairly rude having to answer phone calls, make attacks, etc at the dinner table. I'd like to only set for 4 hrs, but 24 hours is the minimum. I guess because someone else is looking after my account, it's going to be managed a lot better than the greatest player of all time would manage it. Realistically the 24 hours that my province is under management of another player is your best possible advantage given that I am one of only a handful of players that logs in regularly:
