Hi. I hope you don't "accuse" me of specifically choosing "this" title to comment, it is first which i could enter from the top.
Fact is I really did not remembered this fact of having the game open for such long as 40 hours, hard to say reasons why i left it opened for so long for sure but i can say obviously i just didn't care to close.
Maybe it had something to this that I was sure to play anyway enough and for a longtime into this game and I though it won't matter because i will make screens and your tracking mechanics are so good they will delete idle hours.. I'm sorry that as we see now this made trouble for you to count hours and for me.
Let me say clearly i never though about to lie/decive you, this words means doing something purposely. Same i would never try to decive system and not give a "good try" to game.
I see now that you want me to say my playtime hours, I never counted my game like this, playtime vs idle, if i read wikis and forums about game details/mechanics, with it open, it is already idle for example? Because restarting game so often off and on again(1-) wouldn't make sense, with other less complex games it is different. When i go to make something to eat and then reading again about game and eating at the same time? Well maybe it is idle but still i learn to play, not thought to count all this. Ofc i can eat and do something other at same time then reading wikis etc. and game is still staying in background, then it is definetely idling at that moment but again i never counted all this and it could be different anytime.
1- Also btw log of event on the right is lost after restarting CK3 game so it harder to get into and remember what just happened and some strange things in how mechanics works just after loading (because of bugs).
I can still show you new screenshots because i started to continue my gameplay on sunday evening (although i lost some progress on sunday after cloud saves used all space then even normal saves on local disk not saved.. but it is minor, just few hours anyway, i still continues to play it since sunday even today and will play more.
Or maybe better wait a little more and i will continue to play even more so there will be even less doubt i'm playing this game and making progress, why i would want to cheat you and group? No reason and I already said before how i view such behavior. My English is not my first language, if you don't understand something please ask and i will try to write more in details. I hope you maybe change your mind and i can be back later.
PS - As i had said delete those problematic 40 hours from my gameplay count, i don't want any doubts at the end, that i played enought hours.
This is now really getting way more difficult than it should be.

The playtime I count is when the game is being actively played (so you are at your PC with the game open in the foreground and you are either looking at it or doing some actions in it) and the time when you quickly (a few minutes) look at a guide/tutorial/wiki/help because I agree with you that constantly restarting the game wouldn't make sense.
Everything else counts as idle time since you are not actually playing the game.
Yea I feel like this has indeed kinda just been quite of a misunderstanding. And I want to resolve this so can you based on what I said above about what counts as real playtime:
Can give me an approximate amount of time you have played the game to your best idea. It doesn't have to be extremely accurate. 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ... hours?
OR (don't need to do both, 1 of the 2 is enough) if you still think you can not do that:
is there a timeframe of 5 hours where you can tell me you have played the game for sure (can be over multiple days or since you are still playing the game anyways I can also count playtime that hasn't happened yet - you from now on play 5 hours in total without idling and you tell me when you have done that) and maybe have some screenshots of it?
I hope what I am asking makes sense, if not let me know.
20, 25 hours in all sessions I think it is reasonable to say was played inside game before being sick, hard for me to remember and count it really. Even inside the game there is a lot of reading, analizing during time pauses/or slowest speed, this is how those games are played, with a lot of planning. In my favorite strategic game Dominions 5-6 it would be even worse, there planning is like 90% of game but much of planning is even before starting the game when reading manuals ;) (you can read about this game here https://explorminate.org/dominions-6-masterfully-crafted-magic-and-combat-systems/ I recommend this game/series to everybody)
But i remember better recent days, Ok so it looks like this:
Yesterday that is on Tuesday I resigned from watching Champions League football and played Crusader Kings 3 from early evening with some pauses until something like 8:00am, so in all together it was those 5 hours of playtime inside game. On Monday it was probably similiar. At Sunday probably little less because i had to take time to get into the game and then I lost saves and hours of progress because steam cloud filespace became full (of course steam not warning about this) and it weren't saving even to local disk and after restarting game there were no new saves.
Today i should watch some of those CL new and old matches and it will be less hours if I play at night.
I just uploaded some new screens from this recent days i had already made during play. And after this I can upload some more from next coming sessions/days. (In next session I will be trying to conquer some muslim lands like Alexandria and Tunis because i will be needing them eventually for some main goal i plan to finalize in future).
Thank you very much for all the info you provided with this comment. It was exactly the information I wanted in the first place. With this I can now reinvite you to the group and approve your playtime for the group! I have sent you a friend request so I can send you a new group invite. Reply to me when you accept it so I don't forget to invite you.
As far as Doninions: that sounds like it would be waaaay to hard for me. I already struggled with CK2 when I played it with all the info it was throwing at me, not sure my brain would be able to handle more :D
thanks
