facepalms and silly mistakes

[Thatguykram]

Well after I just sold 80 bils worth of seeds instead of planting them and setting my next dev back 7 hours, I was wondering if there was anything that sticks in your mind from your bush career that makes you think "I'm such an idiot?"

I once got pranked on in the middle of the night at the start of eta1 for an inc on me from the top ally, there was no defense and it was declared a land hit. Now for some reason I had it in my head that i needed to LT myself and while waiting for the tick I fell back asleep. Got pranked on again with about 20 seconds left before the end of AF3 and in a panic i looked for the eta of my units (i was playing by iphone so i had to zoom in and eta is next to the box for typing in what you want to send out), saw a 5 and a 3 in a row and assumed it was my rangers/harriers but alas, i sent out 100 officers/paras instead! I then had enough time to send out 400m flak and as that mob went through i looked down the military page and to my dismay i saw i had left my 140m rangers and 35m harriers home and then the tick went :'(

Lost 10.5tril in one tick and didn't even fire! But thanks for pranking JamesNChina

Staying up 20+ hours a day during the 5 minute ticks round.
Trying to lead (ever).
Not playing with Toby every round.
Suiciding POMs and Gurus like a pro (no wait that was awesome!)

Haha, that kick to the stomach. I know that feel.

9 minutes and 40 secs into the tick:
Where men are made and men are broken.


I have to say, there's been plenty of times where I've been bounty hunting; Hit them hard in the first tick and made a profit and thought "Hell yeah, I'm gonna hit them again!" only to end up making a loss overall.

I'm not one for quitting while I'm ahead I must say!
I just tell myself it makes it more interesting that way, it's not always about winning...

...sometimes

That five-tick round was absolute carnage. Which alliance was that? I remember being in the same one... was it Desperados?

That's the one. I think I was CO, not Leader? Either way it was horrifying.

 

[jamesNchina]

meaning to hire up TLs and instead ended up with 18m geo :/

 

[Coruba]

That was quite funny James.

I thought you would of picked complaining to alliance members about how they send White Knights to ones AHQ :roll:

I think Dill was leader, so probably CO. I remember your insane activity though.

/me summons JJ to post about the time he had most land in the game and not enough harvs

For sure! I slept in front of my laptop (actually passed out) and drank redbull (or the cheap version, red rain?!) and just woke up to Highlights, sent, faked, sent, recalled, resent. Insanity. I just... I've never worked that hard at this game in my life and I slept for like 10 days straight at the end of it. And people keep saying "OH 5 minute ticks would be fun." **** YOU. It's not fun. It's awful.
