Newbie Experience: "Help !!!!!!"
This is from alliance chat and probably isn't the best ad for my alliance, but I couldn't resist posting it. (I promise, this player is non-representative of the alliance.) The name of the other player has been changed for their protection:

[Deedle]: yes.. and that place..
[Deedle]: is your academy.
[newbie]: if u dont want to help me just say
[Deedle]: I'm trying to help. Here are the steps:
[Deedle]: You need an academy, that's a structure inside your town, you'll have to build it.
[newbie]: yea
[Deedle]: When you click on the academy it lets you research technologies.
[Deedle]: Some technologies can only be built (most) if you level your academy up and satisfy other building requirements.
[Deedle]: You can mouse over a "research" button to see what the requirements are to research that technology.
[newbie]: i no that!!!
[Deedle]: Okay, then just keep listening and maybe we'll find the part you don't know.
[Deedle]: One of the technologies you can research is called "Horseback Riding"
[Deedle]: Once you've satisfied the requirements it asks for, you can research it, and you'll have the level 1 horseback riding you're looking for.
[newbie]: i need horseback riding level 1 to get a relief station
[Deedle]: That's fascinating. So we good? Just follow the above steps.
[newbie]: i dont see horseback riding there!!
[Deedle]: Oh for petesake.. where don't you see it?
[newbie]: its not there
[Deedle]: Where? In the academy? (when you click on it and scroll down?)
[newbie]: no i dont have horseback riding
[Deedle]: Obviously you don't have horseback riding. If you had horseback riding and put me through this, you are a sadist.
[newbie]: I need a horseback riding to get to lv 1 for relief station
[Deedle]: Help !!!!!!!
