Good question about the puffles! Here's a nerd fact for you: Everytime you play CP, it sends a server command to you every second. Think of it as a rapid game of wall ball. The server throws the ball, and if you are logged on, then you are a wall. The ball hits the wall, comes back to the server, so the server knows you are online. Well, as soon as that ball doesn't come back within a few seconds, the server realizes you are logged off. It runs a function to update your coins, remove items 750-759, 5230, 50, and any dinosaur puffles from your playercard. Then it runs a function to make sure you aren't hacking the game and secretly are online. Finally, it checks your remaining membership time, and if you are expired it nulls your membership.
