Let's play 'Noob mistakes'

[InR]

when i came back... tried to mass some1 and my internet was so fast so i was massing too long, lost 10m weps... and tbh i did that mistake twice at same person... in same day
now he is on vac

also something similar happened when i was massing kynell (only 4m weps at that time).

If u dont farm much resources are bad ofc so once i was a bit high, was on ppt... had 30t saved... ve put naq out and tried to rebuy 3m weps, instead ive bought 30m... and to be more noob, i wasnt thinking at that time... wait ill buy supers and mass some dde (dde war time)... and ofc i sold weps made nice profit...lol

CC did what he was told and took a planet of our leader

My biggest noob mistake?

Playing this game when I realized how horrible it was because my best friend persisted only to quit after playing it for two days with me. Just like World of Warcraft, and every other game he has got me into. I sense a pattern..

On a more realistic note, the biggest noob mistake I ever made was massing my mothership on JT's to cover him against Robe only to have Robe send it out after the first hit.

What?! It's the only good one I could think of.

I was massing someone and during a spy log I read ac units 0 as def action 0 (my excuse: I was tired). I trained 15 mill AC units and start ac'ing rapidly only to realize that I'd just lost 13 mill units. So much for massing with profit :/

[~Coyle~]

Came home drunk one night, think it was at least 2 years ago, decided to go massing, fell asleep with over 75mil spies in, they didnt survive to long

[Enter|Shikari]

This was when I was only new to the game years ago and I had gotten FSS as someone bought it for me
Anyway I went to trade some turns with someone I didn't know, so I put in the turns but only put down 1 naq for him to trade back, thinking he would put in the naq himself
Fortunately for me he was kind enough to pay me the full amount afterwards

My biggest n00b moment was when raiding was introduced, I was not completely sober when I decided to drop rank and go for some targets that I knew had uu out.
At the time I thought you had to be within 10 of the their rank, not ten times their rank and so I sold off my defense and strike weapons.
Only lost about 500 bil but back then that was quite a bit.

Necro thread?! Win.

Another Noob Mistake would be accidentally going to spy somebody who has all ???, and as you click you realize "Noooooooooooooooo!"

[doc holliday]

I used to farm DDE got destroyed with first covert 38 ever got on server
A few months later I farmed alpha heavily got killed with first cover 39 on server

Those were 2 noob mistakes from me

[Noobert]

I don't know whether to laugh, or tell you everything will be alright. Interesting though.

[Mathlord]

Don't worry. Everything was alright

[lone dragon]

Umm when I started I got muddled up and bought turns in a buying turns thread and I bought them off them when they were after turns, problem was it was a FUALL member. I have a mark me until I refunded the 1k. Which has in about 5 mins.

Did that on my own alliance leader once...

His name is Silent Bob...

let's just say I bounced...




though I have had occasions with other spy actions where I didn't lose my spies...

rare though.

Probably best would be ascending during my war with Owned. when I was with Nemesis. I had no alliancemates or anyone online so I asked an enemy to help me.. It was Kikaz. Things probably would have turned out fine... but as I untrained my units to set them in the broker, my internet decided to fail me (that's what I get for stealing wireless) and kikaz who was waiting for my broker and surely would've helped me out properly noticed I had 60+ million UU sitting in the open. Obviously, he raided it.

Probably my best noob mistake. Kikaz was a good sport though and returned some of the UU.

Another would be just in the first few days during my war with DoC, I had spent some 10T and 20m UU building a defence, covert and a strike to have some fun with DoC while planning to be there for my PPT's expiration.. As it turns out my friends wanted to get me hammered that night. Got home, missed my PPT by no more than an hour, and def was 0'd, 9m spies gone, and that shiny strike i had just built had been reduced to 500b.
