There have been all these people that have been picking on me and putting me down because of my 3.6 K/D ratio against human players. That’s actually not even that bad of a ratio considering I’m not hyperactive, and there’s lots of noobs with ratios under 1. But the main issue here is that I play this game for FUN. Which means I’m not going to throw a tantrum over losing a single unit or pull units back from the frontlines at night to prevent them from getting killed while I’m asleep. I’ve won 28 of 76 games I’ve joined (3 of them being solo W’s) and I consider myself to be a fairly good player. It’s just that the #1 reason I play this game is to have fun, and when you’ve got people nagging about your K/D every five minutes doesn’t make it fun.

On a more serious note, I do resonate with the title of the OP's post, as I'm not going to be one of those people that wakes up at 3am to avoid losing a single unit. After all CoW is, and will forever be, just a game.
And so was Yugoslavia, if you are a NATO leader or Oligarch!

'Wake up'? Imagine being done with CoW for the night by then...

Me having dreams where I get attacked at night and lose all my armies:

No seriously it happens and then I wake up and check… then I go back to sleep and start dreaming about it again… it’s crazy! God help me… I’m falling too far in the hole!
I mean I still technically have a life for now but damn does it suck when I lose 30 units in my dreams!

Plot twist: they're not dreams, but you're sleep-deprived enough that you mistake them as such. Since you eventually do fall asleep you later assume you dreamed all of it.

Speaking of which... I'm certain I had more than ten units when I checked in last night...

Now I’m scared I’ll be naval invaded in my sleep…
I feel worse for you though, having to fear Australians charging on your beaches is terrifying! Better call up the Turks for help.

Waking up and seeing you’ve not won the game for 3 days straight is disappointing indeed

Isn't that already a concern if you're playing against people in different timezones?
I don't think Turkey exists anymore. I actually haven't checked in since last night (but am now unreasonably paranoid that my joke was unwittingly correct) but both Russia and Germany are at war with it so there's a decent chance it's Ceased to Be.

I was making a Galipoli joke, since the Turks defeated an Australian landing. But yes that 4x map is scary because I fear that I could be killed in my sleep at any corner… scary.

I figured. Most of my WWI knowledge concerns the west European fronts but I was aware of this particular incident.

At least I’m the strongest player in the game… they will learn to fear fat Albert! Glory to the Union of Alberta!

A free gift? How nice!
So what do unfree gifts look like?
