when vacation mode is activated you have 12 months cover? yes?
at the end of that cover what happens?
is your account deleted or can we attack under the standard rules 7 days then 28 days?

iv'e been told it gets deleted which i had an idea was the case, why delete surely the vacation mode should be lifted and we should be able to attack  

Yes

Account has been deleted on 366 day in vacation mode.

why not leave the account for us to attack after vacation mode has expired?? :) 

yea that would be a good idea :)

saon89,  ...players come back, but account  completely destroyed by cheeky monkey)))

how is that "cheeky monkey"? these are the normal rules if a account goes vacant! why not the same once the vacation mode time has expired? they are not coming back after one year so why not reap the bounty?
