Ive played GC on and off for over three years, decided to come back to have a lil something to do, anyway, what would you do.

I was helping a new(i mean real new) player learn the game and was going to come out attack him and so i could enslave him and then set him free right, well as i was going to hit him i saw a new collective empire coming up the ranks fast, my new friend here only had 5 planets, and you know how newbies are, they lose there first few planets, dont understand borders and they get mad and leave.
So i hit the collective to protect him, the dumb collective was only a month old empire i didnt have time to check this, anyway he had all his planets clustered and i took them all and killed him.

I feel bad, i tryed to help one person, but in the process smashed another, what would you have done.

The game is what it is. If players cannot handle it they shouldn`t play anyways. Best they get used to loss when it`s only a couple borders.

It`s a war game. This game isn`t for coddling newbies. That`s UC`s job. This game is competitive.

If he was a Collective, he played some Terran and therefor should really understand borders. I understand why you feel bad, but it really was his own fault.

Well if the clusters were good then you made the right choice :)

yeah, that is like the next best thing to anaboliking a fed or stealing big clusters. He probably didn`t respond because he was confused by your pm. You got to really tease em good before they start responding. I have actually made some friends here doing that.

I pmd him, he never answered back, he probably thought i was trying to gloat or something, i would have let him take them back, but that would have required him to have 1 planet left to attack from so, nothing much more i could do. Saved the other newbie though... so i guess something good came out of it.

yea new players need to learn not to hoard planets when they first start out as a race that can be killed

yeah I saw a collective come out with 1 planet the other day... was very tempted to smack him, but let him be. just pm the guy you killed, try to teach him how to protect himself better in the future, encourage him, tell him it was a learning experience he`ll never forget.
