Won't be long until Noah shuts down these RTS hits. I've had about as many as not either quit or just completely dismiss instructions to purposely lose because they realize the game might last more than 5 mins. I've been coach 4 times today and 3 of the 4 did this. I just hope I don't get blocked because other people are greedy.

I hope not. I love these and I really want to get to winning as coach at least once. I feel like the computer starts with dragons sometimes, so maybe it's just bad luck and not my coaching, but I want that win.

Some of them are crazy hard. If you scout you bring back enemies. If you don't you can't tell what to send to fight.... I've had a couple today start with no mine near the HQ. If you pick the wrong direction to try and find one you're screwed. Or maybe I just suck at RTS but people shouldn't expect all of these to end in 3 mins.... driving me insane.

i have never been a coach..always a player. i'm blocked for "poor performance" as of a couple hours ago but I still have not got a clue what poor performance means. I wish i'd had you as a coach. All my coaches were rushing through things like mad. I have a feeling automatic block came because I was always a step or two behind thanks to coaches speeding through everything.

did you send Noah a message about the hits to try and clear it up?

Does anyone know if Noah responds to messages or if it's heavily automated?

He answered an email from me last week and I've gotten a few about these hits that went out to everyone I think. I might send one later but I don't want to pester him either. I've done about 40 or 50 of these now so I can't complain if he cuts me off. But I sure like requesters that give us honest work with at least reasonable pay. Too few and far between IMO.

yeah i did. He did actually respond to one I sent a couple days ago curious about the qualification that is applied to block us but hasn't responded to the last 2 emails I sent. One was just a curiosity and one was after the block was applied this evening.

Being coach is the harder of the two to me. I think people just want to get through these as fast as possible though. It took me having a coach that kept interupting me for me to realize I needed to space my commands a little. The game is now pausing after each command which helps the player a little. I hope you get it sorted out. There aren't a whole lot of HITS where you get fair pay so it sucks when you get blocked by one. Good luck.
