That's a possibility. The other would be to stay on all the time which perhaps is harder. I have my screen timeout at the default 5 minutes and seem to lose server connection if I don't wake up the Kindle right away. This is only a theory but if the game only stored the datetime you activated a talisman and checked your device's time against that, you could just change your time back to right after you activated the talisman and have an unlimited talisman. It could also store the datetime and a running counter and compare those to prevent cheating but I wouldn't expect it to write too much out to storage on a regular basis. If you crashed or exited abruptly you might end up in a bad state. There does have to be a mechanism to update the timer when you return to the game and checking the game server time does seem like the most likely way. I've worked for companies where the server time mattered and have found instances where not every server had the time sync service started so it's certainly possible.

Picklekip, you reported the discrepancy at various times, were you playing in between those times, starting/stopping your game or device? I activated a talisman and am trying various behaviors to try and break it. Haven't had any luck so far.
