For all players but mostly for Beginners..

Have been talking to Thunderheart..today...and he sent this PM...I do have his agreement to post..so please no flaming...I have to say in my opinion he has summed up pretty much some golden rules to follow and inspire you young players..hopefully if you heed his words you will stick with and improve your game play...
Well done Thunderheart and cheers for the chat...
Though his reference about himself was directed at me...the principle applies to all players about any player.
with you out there, sending the fleet out for safety is just part of the " normal" rules in the game play here;
- yes you can have fleet
- yes you can use it
- no you cannot leave it down
- no you cannot FS from the same spot twice , when you've been spotted
I mean , I can cite several more simple rules, that come to the game play, but these 4 should be followed by everyone and the whole deal would become a lot more interesting to everyone!
do I make mistakes, sure! do I sob about it, no...it's a game...RL stuff happens...fleet crashed? begin again!
I mean...how many times did I appear on the board on the " wrong" side? Okay it was hardly ever epic, but then again...I lost my share, am still here...
true I sometimes send out for longer periods, but that has to do with my schedule. Do I know if I can play tomorrow? (really play, not just collect the rations) no? then send out till Tuesday...that stuff...
coming to think of it, some more rules apply that beginners should be aware of;
- accept to loose your fleet 5 times over in the 1st year
- accept you'll loose your defences and daily rations about 10 times in the 1st year
- accept you'll loose a moon, more than once
- no you cannot loose planets
- no you nor your account can physically die from the ordeal, so smile, you're alive!
- accept, that if you stick with it, you will eventually get the hang of it and either survive or become a hunter yourself!
reason why many quit, I think is they cannot or will not stick to the simple stuff
yes, we slip up...but you get up and start again
Everyone in the game, that has lasted for more than a year, knows this and has lived it (some more than others)
If you follow half of these principles you will find you will do so much better...
