Wazzah, as you can tell by my registered date/post count *points*, I'm a total n00b. I was wonderin if anyone could leave a couple tips on this topic, so I can learn what I'm best at, blah blah blah, lol. Maybe if someone is nice enough to waste their time on me, they can train me a bit or something (It takes me 4 tanks to waste one pillbox...pitiful, ain't it?), so yeah, I'd appreciate that. Lemme stop boring everyone and sum up what I said:

- Leave tips for me. Anything you have. Really. I suck.
- Can someone give me some 1v1 training?
- I need a girlfri-... Oh, wrong topic. (Kidding)

Thanks in advance :twisted: ...errr... :D *

You got a long road ahead of you, TornadoTK. It really depends on this: if you keep losing day after day but you still want to fire up winbolo and play.. you'll be around for awhile. This game has a steep learning curve so be patient.

Thanks for the advice Sticks, and I'll be playing everyday from time to time... I'm starting to think that alot of people should learn some teamwork, lol.

Well, does anyone have advice for me? I played a long game today and I'm in need of some info:

- The point of the game is to capture all the bases, right? Me and some dude did that, but nothing happened. Did I miss something in the manual?
- How come when people unally with me, I lose the pills that I set? Something tells me that's an error...
- Is killing builders a bad thing? o.o
- How do you take pills when they're grouped in a 12 pack and being repaired over and over?

What type of game was it? That is how tournament and strict games are won. Open games, on the other hand, keep going.

You shouldn't lose the pills that you placed yourself. Your ally could have killed your pill and built it so that it was then declared his instead of yours, and then left alliance. Rebuilding an ally's pill and building a pill are not the same thing. Notice that the hollow green dots in the pillbox indicator mean those are the pills that belong to you.

TornadoTK wrote:

That depends. If it's your ally's or your builder, generally yes, its bad. If it's your enemy's, then its generally a good thing.

- Whoops, yeah. It was open.
- No, i had 8-10 pills in my possession, and when I unallied, I lost 7 of them.
- I thought people thought it was bad, unless LGM doesn't refer to builders (and I think it does.)

Thanks for the help Sticks, I appreciate it. Now, if only someone could teach me how to take pills...

a player re-placed your pills..thats the only way to loose what u have planted.

if u kill your oppinents lgm...he cannot build anything...thats good for u...if u kill a teammates lgm or (builder) then he cant build anything. not good hes on your team. and he will let u know u screwd up.

i love bolo...its fun for me if i win or loose. stick with it and u will get better. it just takes time. good luck

Thank you, vets, for helping me out. I'll be sure to thank you on my first win. Anyways...

- pmg - Thanks for more tips, I'm starting to get it.

- Maxx - I'm just good with people I guess... I dunno. o.o

- Q-Manda - Yeah, I saw THAT post, lol. I'm not like that, nobody is cheap...even hackers. They had to put some work into their hacks, so that's gotta be worth SOMETHING. =P

Keep your tips coming... I really need help with my pill taking.
