alot of solos also end up portalling or what have you cuz someone or someones in a rank 1 or 2 (or sometimes both) alliance let them live. as was the case with toast and his pnaps last round. (cept for zhouj and edd)
Actually, this was more down to general laziness/incompetence by the time they had grown substantially enough to be targetted by enough of the more useful members.
Zhouj was also in HC last round, not solo.

(cept for zhouj and edd) however for the most part toast and his pnaps were given a wide berth to grow and do what they wanted.

i see it as rewarding poor game play.
You could drop this rate significantly with an increase in the social aspects of the game, with a playerbase willing to teach and group together randomly to form new friendships, meet new people etc. Solo play is actually probably not a benefit to decreasing the dropout rate.

If memory serves me correctly Steve_god did this around round 33 with his alliance boot_camp he took a core group of players that were willing to teach people the game and then only took in new people to help them understand the game (they finished around 6th or 7th I think) so it did work for that round
On a side note if anyone would like the original bushtarion coding (the plantarion codes) (before azzer made it the game we love) send me a pm as I have it
sorry didn't bother to take the time to read any post beyond the first. I figured it would amount to the same BS. Was I wrong?
In keeping with the thread topic;
I would limit Dax to a total of <3 words per post on forums and pols and his nick would count towards the count.
