I don't really see the issue at hand here and don't intend on reading several pages of this thread, sorry so if i've missed it please someone enlighten me as to why you desperately need to be able to read your ingame messages when you're in sleepmode; since you can't really efficiently do anything about it.

I don't desperately need to able to read in-game messages - I was just making an observation about how pointless this rule is. I don't really care either way. Being able to read mail would just give you peace of mind, which is already hard enough to come by for noobs in particular.

And FYI: I touch myself even when I am playing ;)

If you open it up for socialising, you will open it up for organizing at the same time. Or do we have to believe you on your scout's honour that you will only use it for a laugh? ;)

The manual/wiki says nothing about you being unable to send/receive mail and view politics, either.

well instead of whining about it, why don't you create a wiki account and edit the proper consequences in. Then people will know for next time :)

Sleep mode sucks.

Then don't use it?


Well now I know exactly how excessively restrictive it is, I wont :p

Just wish it told me before hand.

-

None of the arguments presented have made me see any reason to be able to use Ingame mail when in sleepmode. There are no reasons for it; at least, none presented here so far.

This isnt a petition for change :p

Its a gripe. Hence this threads location :p

'Tis a bit late, but eh.

That's the entire point of sleep, so as it's not abusable.

If someone sticks themself into sleep mode for 24 hours thinking they may not be available for a large portion of that time, that's up to them. It simply means they'll be safe for those 24 hours. If it turns out that they are actually available for 12 out of those 24 hours, then, well it sucks that they hit 24 instead of 12.

There is no 12 hour option, there's only ~8 hours ~24 hours ~72 hours ~1 week ~2 weeks..
In a way I do agree with DA on this, but then again I don't.. I think you should be able to recieve mail cause I find it highly annoying [I deal with it anyways] when I can't see what someone sent me :p The only reason I don't agree on this is you don't read texts while you are asleep do you? [I know I don't sleep read]..
and that is exactly what I did last round, hit sleep, go to sleep. :p
