Re: And is it any wonder new players give up?

If he gives up after one massing - he's not the right type of player for this game anyways...

How ever, if he decides to learn from this experience and get back on his feet. You can tell him to contact me for any advise or even some assistance.

I myself usually work in that way, shoot first ask questions later. It's just how it is in a war-game such as this one.

Best of luck to your friend. :D

Re: And is it any wonder new players give up?

I'll agree with you and I've massed many a small player in my time but 2 weeks is still a fragile time. Experiences of the game and impressions come from only those 2 weeks. But as many have said, we've all been in his position. It can show a strength of character to pick yourself up and move on. Then again it's all just a game and thus gravy. 8)

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.

Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.

In my first few months i ended up in a war with Esker, all it did was teach me that bad boys need a good kicking, and that when your little you need to watch where you put your finger.

The first thing you should tell your training alliance to do, is Not to hit certain alliances and affiliated people. I blame the Parents/Leaders for there neglegence personally.
