I, As a new player, Believe that a change in new accounts is in order.
Though i havent been attacked i feel that most players shoudl have a small grace period.
However i do not agree on it being time related.

I am a programmer, Thus these types of games Are all i can actually play on my limited spare time.
thus so that when i played this certain game i realized they have a grace period set based off turns.
Emi already keeps track of number of turns that were taken, this means using that variable he can disable the ability to attack or be attacked by other players till the turns reach a certain limit... I just reached my 20K turn mark. maybe 10K turns is a good cutoff from protection.

im sure that if some players have such an experience that I have had, they would be more likely to stay and not retire immediately.
Playing the game and dying right off by a high ranked player is a real turn off. that 10k turn grace period may bring about a longer lifespan of players and More support for the game itself... Eh Emi?
