Octavian, at least your a n00b with a sense of humour!!!
Check out 'The Church of Sim Country' for the in game 10 commandments. Perhaps then you will see why your policy of being militarily offensively gets on our nerves. Sadly though, I can't find you a link to it at the moment as i'm at work, but i'm sure someone will be along soon who will have.
Rinoa - veteran players do not dictate to newer players as a whole - only when they appear to be asshats in the making. We currently have our fair share of them on LU at the moment, and we don't want anymore!!! As Sam said - if you want the respect of the community, you have to earn it. That means putting time into the game learning it, and forging friendships with other players. There is a lot more to this game than just the warfare side of it, but sadly - thats what most new players base their time here as.
For instance - I don't know how many times I have looked down the 'at war' list and found a new player - less than 6 game months old - trying to invade a C3 with a handfull of tanks and a pocket full of ammo. It is very rare to find someone who will actually ask for advice from the start of their tenure here - but when they do there are ussually loads of posts giving advice, and that player is welcomed to SC with open arms.
Veterans do not dictate to the newer players - not once was I told what I could and couldn't do, but then again - I never wanted world domination.
A message to all new players; Forget war. Build your economy, ask for help, read the documentation, look at the 10 commandments of SC and enjoy your stay. Either that or become a asshat by starting a fed bent on world domination and get destroyed by the rest of the world. Your choice.
