"Influence since.." date

I just noticed that now when you're on a turf profile, where it says the owner & the creator, it now has a date & says the player has had this influence since [date]. Very helpful in finding out if a player is active or not.

What I'm wondering is- does the date change if turfs are captured? Like if someone has been inactive since August & they haven't acquired any new turfs since then, but Primo Loco capped their turf yesterday, would this influence date change to yesterday's date (making it appear that maybe the player is still active)?

Timecop, here I come.

I'm confused. The date is just saying the turf's creation date.

Did you allow 30 minutes for server lag before checking a different one of Timecop's turfs (assuming that's who you capped)?

Wait, wait, wait. Is this the date of how long the owner has owned the turf?? That's what I'm thinking now.

K...that must be it...I'll check my own turfs, I have a better idea of when I acquired new turfs...Okay...yeah, that's it.

Anyway, cool detail. Thanks nick.

You're right Bella. I was confused. Initially, to me, it looked like it was related to influence. But it does look like that's the date the current "controller' capped it. Thanks for noticing & clearing it up; I've been wanting that feature for a long time! Thanks for implementing it nick! :)
