Drunken Nile Online Mistakes

[d_BRIGGSY]

I dont know about anyone else, but i seem to like to come home from the pub, lay down on my bed, chill out with some music and just check on my city before drifting away to sleep and worrying about a hang over the next day.

Although.... recently i have been making a few 'foupars' (please correct me if thats spelt wrong) as i like to put it, I could be the only one that does such a thing but some of my mistakes include:

- I have a habbit of typeing 99999 into the exchange trading boxes to send all of my goods to my second city, until of course i used 75ships to clear out my capital (PLEASE dont ask me why!)... trouble was, i had only 2 ships to return my goods that i needed back to my capital (DUUUHH)

- Deciding that all of my workers in a Level 11 city should take a break, and then forgetting that they have had there 'tea break' until the next evening (which slowed my progress down just a touch)....

Now as i say, i could just be the only fool on Nile Online, But i would love to know im not alone................

:p

Do you mean faux pas (that is French)? From dictionary.com: a slip or blunder in etiquette, manners, or conduct; an embarrassing social blunder or indiscretion.

On Sabah, last week I was really tired and shipped all my bricks(75k) from one of my monuments to a city without realizing it. Later I checked and that city was redlined causing me to lose 30k bricks + production.

I wasn't drunk, but i was bleary eyed and tired, and started a trade with a guy screaming how urgently he needed something in CAPS on the trade wall. Followed by 30 minutes of him scrolling me every few min. I've learned my lesson...

haha lyrical -- I had one of those, too. I tried to sneak in a couple of trades at work one day, and got in the middle of one and had to do "real work." About half an hour later when I went back into NO I had a series of increasingly ANGRY scrolls from the fellow I was trading with, starting with "did you forget to ship your half of the trade" and ending with something like "AT LEAST HAVE THE F****ING DECENCY TO SEND MY STUFF BACK!"

Some folks just have no patience. :-)
