I've seen a lot of threads that bash newbies/rookies for doing "stupid" things. Maybe they deserve it, maybe not. Yesterday I finally got the cajones to play against some non-computer opponents in the zone. My first game, I made a really dumb mistake. My second game, however, has got me hooked on multi-player bigtime. The game was a 3vs3 high res in a rookie room, I don't remember which one (starts with a V i think), with only five players (one computer). I was on the side with the two real allies, who I let know that it was game #2 lifetime for me. I have never played with high res before, so I was licking my chops at the start. I built 2 docks, a dozen fishing boats, and bronzed in just under 13 minutes. I sent eight vils over to a gold mine near one of my allies and built a SP and two towers next to it. Before I started mining, I built two ranges and started on gold to get compies. One of the enemies did a CA rush at blue (my ally), luckily I had 10+ compies with more on the way. His CA fell like a bag of mashed potatos. Unfortunately, I neglected to protect my fishing fleet, which was simultaniously destroyed by the CA rush enemy. His galleys were cut down by my archers, but the damage was done. After defending my blue ally from tons of CA's and chariots, he ran to my TC and needed wood to rebuild his own. I tribed him all the wood I had. Soon after, he resigned. My remaining ally (green) was having bad lag problems and resigned; thankfully he tribbed me what he had left. All I could do was wall in and hope. Pretty soon, my first wall was crumbling to a joint attack with cat's and ele's. At that point, one of the attackers (Mr Big or something like that) chatted "And you gave us the impression that you weren't good" (for chatting before the game)
After responding that it was honestly my second game online, I followed with "good game" My pop was down to 7 and both armies were razing my town. He responed by saying I was the one that made it a good game.

Even though I got smoked, it was quite a shot in the arm. I hope I get to play those two again in the future.
