I really think it would be better if you dropped your land so no one gets an unfair advantage. I am not sure what the mods would do but I would consider it cheating if I farmed you after your ingame message, and I like to try to win without cheating.

So when you quit, drop your land, keep the competition alive between the 40 or so others in the game.

And come back soon. I'm sure things will be different in time.
