Ghost

Ghost or Ghosting, is a state of player which happens after certain time of inactivity.

Ghosting means your towns as well as your name are invisible to all players when they view the Island view, Alliance list, Embassy list, High Scores screens and/or any other screen that would normally show that you play on the server.

When a player returns to that world and logs into their account, their towns will return to the same location as when they where ghosted, with a few minor exceptions:
 * 1) If their previous town spots were taken, they will be planted on other town spots on the same island
 * 2) If the original island is full then they will planted on the nearest island with the same resource type.

Free spots are searched in a circular, clockwise, manner starting with the island north-east of the original island, as you look at the map (right and a little up) until a free spot is found.
