Back when I had a top 30 ranked covert I decided to sab a low ranked player who was being a jerk. I had basically my whole army trained as spies (this was back in 05 so the game was different) and when I clicked sab I did not notice that the browser had changed my 5 into 50,000 (the autocomplete had remembered from where I had just trained them). So I lost a ton of my army right there. Sending 50,000 instead of 5 :roll:

Or more recently when my fleets were massed by Tok`ra :x How I screwed up was that I tried to use naq to go on ppt which did not work since the naq got stolen in a second or two. I should have used UU to go on the ppt :wink:

It was like a month ago, I was stealing and abandoning Omega planets and one of them paid you to mass my fleets. I massing one of Corkscrew's planets when I noticed my fleet strength dropping. I thought it was just because I was not repairing then I realized I was being massed and saw that it was you and flipped out more and screwed up because I was not being rational.

A heck of a lot, I don't remember the exact % but I know that it was the vast majority of them. I think I lied at the time about how many fleets were destroyed. I would guess 70-80%. Not that much damage naq wise it was mostly emotional damage :P

I'd have to say mine was when I went to accept a broker of 100k UU for 1 naq and it wouldn't let me. Guessed the market was broken again, only to realise I had no naq out. :shock: :? :lol:
