Somehow I don't think being contactable is easier than using sleep mode. How often does a solo in sleep mode get pranked to send defence?
You can hardly compare solo play to top alliance.If i was to choose between playing in a top alliance or solo i know which option it's more comfortable and less activity demanding while in the same time will give me a higher score
Solo players got nerfed too much - sleepmode is the only reasonable option to not get zeroed and landraped every other night.

I find that hard to believe. I'm playing solo this round, I don't get zeroed an obscene amount and the only old feature of playing solo I miss is the -1 ETA on the return leg. I have absolutely no reason to consider using sleep mode as a means of keeping the game fun.
The solution to this problem will never be to remove sleepmode, but it will be to FIX the sodding source of the problem - the fact that getting killed in this game is such a damn bummer. If people don't care about getting zeroed, they won't need to use sleepmode, people will have more nice targets to attack, more BR's will be available thus the game will be improved!
I have yet to find a vamp I would think twice about hitting, Enrico. No matter what the setup, they die. On that point I'll agree with Lillie.
pushing people together from the start will either make them take an active role in who and and how they play, offering a decision to play alone, leaving their default alliance behind. Or it will allow them to befriend fellow players and give them pride in the team they have been put with.
if you do that i will not be able to play. I cant leave my account and trust it wont die. and i cant be active enough to be online 12 hrs a day.
sleep mode should not be a probl;em. hit the target when they arew online and you should be able to win.
i think you should make it easier to sleep and be active when your able to and safe when your not. so more people can play the game. but at a slower pace, they will never get to top ranks anyway, never make much on thier seeds. and then atleast when you are online your not wiped out trying to rebuild.
when solo if you die you land can keep you well in range of people. and if you have a few too many hippies/flack that didnt die, then you can still be raped, again and again. and if you lose all your land and still arent active enough to not need sleep mode then you will be completely zeroed al the time, and eventually give up. and that will push players out of the game. not encourage them to stay. atm sleep mode is annoying for some people. but if your not skilled enough to hit some one whos online, with the superior route to them (assuming your not tl/rpg) then theres a problem. if your allie isnt starting wars with other, then theres a problem.
and the more people you push out of the game by making it not enjoyable for them the smaller the player abse and the bigger the problem gets, if the player base went to 4k overnight. you would have a much smaller streaming affect, top would have to really fight, at the middle yourd have so many different alliances that could hit you you would need to be on form. and at every level yourd have more targets. without the need to rape. but by pusing players from the game you exaserbate the whole situation
