Not sure if Clemons knows how to play properly :(

He played for 10 turns without getting a bonus, then disappeared after I found him and I had to boot to finish the game... :/

Btw, I'm not intending this post to be unkind to Clemons, I was just interested by what I saw and thought I would share it...

looks like he's unsure how to play. He should play the single player levels and learn the basics.

No mystery -- look at his profile. He's played 13 games and lost them all.

I've met a lot of such players. Try to offer them a couple of tips in chat like Duke mentioned. Eventually they learn the basics, or...they don't. Some players here are a bit too young for the game and aren't developed enough to catch on to the premise (most 7-10 year olds maybe?)

i think their should be some kind of system that forces a player to beat the first level of the single player before they are allowed to play multiplayer.

Imho, the first 3 levels should be required... or perhaps we could add that as an open seat pre-requisite.. Single player levels completed..
