My first race had 20% attack/income/research.

I played as ss pop based attacker ....

That round didn't end well

Trying my hand a pop banker in my second round i had no clue that i needed wizzies for protection so i spent 2 weeks with no pop.

First time playing attacker and forgetting to recall my fleet after a attack and was wondering what happened to my fleet after i lost about 20 planets in a matter of minutes.

Probably he ment in the fight the defender lost 3 lasers or something... and because he didnt have enough bombers he lost over 1.5 mil figs ? something like that...

i bought 25 mil food at 1gc a piece was 0.1 and i wrote 01...

played barcode family... worse idea ever...

1: Decided that, since octarine was slightly more expensive than the other resources, it would be a brilliant idea for me, as a Revalon, to base my strat on building OCs and selling the octarine.

2: Looking at the market.  Seeing the "need" section.  Thinking that was a statement telling me what I needed.  Realizing I didn't know how to actually get 2,000,000 food two seconds into the game, and that I somehow must have screwed up my empire, as an economic collapse and utter starvation of the population was now inevitable.  Deleted.

3: Day before a war, I sent 128 million gc to an inactive guy with 9 planets because someone impersonated him in the chat and told me he needed aid.  Two weeks later, the guy who actually played that account said "Thanks!  That really helped my research funding!"

4: As an attacker, maliciously beat the crap out of this one family.  All was going well until I found out they were our allies.  It's always fun to try and explain that it wasn't betrayal.  It was stupidity.

5: A few ticks before a war:
Torqez: "Okay, so how many lasers do you have on your planets."
Me: "Lasers?"

6: Three weeks after I signed into this game, started flaming people in the forums, calling them noobs.  (Yes, this was when I first got internet access and gained that original power of anonymity... and proceeded to abuse it)

7: As attacker, spent a few days building up for a nicely sized army.  First attack: Forgot to send bombers.

My first 2 rounds I was CF banker and thought TO's had to be 25% on each planets to work. It was boring as hell to build. Round after i led a 3 players SD and forced my banker to do the same on 800+ planets, hehe. Then I discovered it didnt work like that...
