Re: Removal of vacation mode
Planets should not be forced out of vacation mode before their 72 tick timeout has ended. The last week begins at tick 1009. When a planet enters vacation mode at tick 937 or earlier, it can be forced out at tick 937 + 72 = 1009, ie, immediately. When a planet enters vacation mode at tick 938 or later, the planet should be forced out on a delay. If it enters at tick 1000, it is forced out at tick 1000 + 72 = 1072.

Alternatively, make it impossible to enter vacation mode 10 days before the round ends but let planets that are already in Hawaii stay. Force planets out 3 days later.

Either of these changes solve this particular problem. I still think vacation mode can be removed entirely, but that's a different discussion.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.
