I have poor eye-hand coordination, so slower, turn-based games are about all I can play. And along comes FOE.
I'm a Noob. Big time. But I'm having fun and thinking about FOE is helping me weather the storm.
.
So, I'm playing along, contributing FPs to peoples' buildings, happy when occasionally I'd get a blueprint or a medal or even a couple FPs. I thought I was helping, and I noticed (and was thankful) when others contributed to mine. Then I got a message.
.
The player was angry. Apparently I'm "costing him FPs", and if I do it again he's gonna plunder me every day. Then he plundered my city.
.
I've read about "sniping", but is that what I was doing? Is there some (written? unwritten?) piece of etiquette that I missed?
I've dropped a few FPs on people knowing I would maybe get a medal if anything, but I wanted to see their upgrade succeed.
When buildings are close, are you supposed to back-away & NOT contribute?
.
I've obviously "upset the gods", so I want to avoid this mistake in the future.
Positive comments or suggestions would be welcome.
