I am dead set against attacking newbies....
It is very wrong and should not be done..
When I start I CHOSE to start in a war zone cause I thought it would be
fun..
but when I found out it was dangerous a few mails to both sides looked after
all the possible chances of being attacked.
so I left Yellowleaf and lived a happy and long life...
It is the DUTY of the newbie to alert both sides of his/her existence...
and to move out of the area...but if they get a thrill from danger then
enjoy the fight!
start your own little army and start your own war...
but remember...YOU can not die in a safe haven!!
Live long and prosper...and enjoy the fight!
Cliff.
