***********Suggestions and Views on Kingdom Stewardship***********
1) Presently, 1 account can be simultaneously handled by 2 players (player himself and the steward) which is an added advantage.
Recommended: Once the account has been stewarded the owner should only get a screen with the option to resume playing after removing the steward.
2) Any person on vacation cannot be sent an invite to be made a steward ( as per #1 as he will not be able to log in ).
3) Stewardship needs to be for a particular duration.
4) There should be some limitations on the actions the steward can perform. All the actions like sending silver, co-ordinating attacks etc have a generic warning .
5) As all the powers of a player gets transferred to the steward, it might be abused.
Alternative suggestions: (1) Limit stewardship to members of the same clan; (2) do not allow stewards the privileges given to the account owner (or else give clan owners a separate control here so that they can deny the steward powers if appropriate).
6) With regards to transferring stewardship – The actual owner should be able to set, whom to transfer the stewardship if the original steward also goes on vacation. i.e steward cannot transfer the account according to his choice.
7) Ability to activate features of an account you are stewarding with your own account.

8) Have a timer activity of the player you are stewarding. In case of sudden absence the steward can login if the player has not logged in for some time and the account needs attention.

9. The stewardship would last a minimum of three days.
10. The player who appoints a stewardship would not be able to log into his account without cancelling the stewardship. The only thing that he should be allowed to do during this time is to message the steward.

11) Limits on stewarding, such as
- Only 1 steward per account
- A long minimum time [like 2 weeks] in which the player CANNOT use their account in ANY way other than removing the steward.
- Minimum time [like 1 week] before the same steward can control your account again
- Stewarding should have a time limit itself, like 1 month, when it is automatically terminated.

12) The account can only respawn by the owner logging in.
13) Have a column for pending stewardship visible to owner/admin. i.e the steward has not yet accepted the invite. This way if the actual player is away the owner/admin can mail the steward to handle the account.
