We've all made them at some point or other, what embarrassing/noob mistakes have you ever made? You must rate the noobiness of the person above you out of 10 and must post one of your own mistakes.

Here's mine:
[spoiler]I had a ppt lined up in one tab and all ready to go with a click, and I had another tab ready to take a very nice planet.

In my mad rush to log off I clicked to confirm ppt before taking the planet, so I had to drop it straight away to take the planet. Then along came Kondasz to mass my MS, as he always did. That guy was psychic. I have another for later but I'd rather wait until I hear from admin

Haha when your in a rush mistakes happen, so 6 out of 10.

I had my first noob mistake since my return just 10mins ago. I was on what was my best farming run. I saw all that naq and was going to town. What i forgot was to check my weapon status and on the very last person i had to hit before i decided to repair completely finished my weapons.
7trill naq farmed = 20m weapons lost. #-o

I bought 25m attack weapons, instead of 2.5m.
Then I sold 22.5m of these attack weapons.
An hour later I figured I needed a bigger strike, trained 7.5m more supers and bought 7.5m strike weapons.


Let's just say.. I lost some naq.

Leaving 20mil spies in the open while I was in an alliance war against Ricos, being online, but checking forums instead of the game. Let's say I only managed to have 30-35% of those troops saved, as they were being ACed by Ashrak Marduk if not mistaken, before I noticed.
It was before the weapons/sabotage updates.

I had a strike action of around 60 trillion, around 140 million Weapons. I was massing someone with 55 odd trill defence when one of their alliance mates came online, I opened the alliance mate in anouther window tab, so i could do them some damage, i started massing them both at the same time, and accidently machine gun clicked on the target with 55 trill defence, when i actualy wanted to take out the guy with 2 tril defence quickly... we where both at war (me and jorg who had the 55 tril def), several seconds later the formerly rank one 60 tril strike was 1.2 tril when repaired. And the other guy who was online who i was trying to mass but hit the wrong tab by mistake, was still massing me... I got up and left the room to have a very stiff drink.

...I win.

As above,

Ive also massed my own weapons when I got carried away on on the ol' clickity click click, only about 5 Mill of them but it was a few years back when that was worth more. Served me right for showing off massing 3 people at once in different tabs.

Also bought the wrong weapons, I think it was def when I wanted strike, felt a bit silly and cost naq I couldnt afford at the time.

New one for the list, I once massed a complete stranger by accident because I made a naq hit on him, spied an enemy in a different tab, then closed the wrong tab and massed the wrong person :-D

8/10

I had 100 mill army and saw a nice raid.... 20 mill uu!! I went crazy!!
I trained 30 mill supers since it was a big def... and clicked attack attack attack...

But I was drunk and woke up next morning.. I lost almost all the super attackers and raided none..

Clue: I forgot to buy weapons, and instead of 20 mill.. it was 2 mill

Conclusion: never try to play GW when drunk...

Dont laugh please.. :(

I have never done anything nooby...

...Well there was that one time i have 210T naq and 85mill UU out on PPT waiting to send off to ascend, then instead of brokering someone i went out and got drunk...

...Or that time i got really smashed, came online at like 6am (after partying all night and no sleep) to mass R8 from rank1. I then remember that feri and i chatted earlier that it would be cheaper to sab, so i do a quick calc in my head, in my drunken state 192mill seemed good BAM repelled 86mill lost in one hit. I think okay lets send 200mill. Turned out i only had 192mill left after the first repel so it get's repelled again and another 86mill lost...

Do i win? :P

You don't count for anything.

You vanished and i'm sure broke many hearts.


LOL :)
