It's common sense that you are quite clearly re!@#$%^&*ed. Games that have rounds MUCH MUCH longer than 3 months have some sort of protection in the beginning of the new round, or for new players. Hyperiums, you start out in a Hyperiums Protectorate planet. You can leave it whenever you want, but while you're in it you're protected. Ages of War, when you first make an account you are under protection for 60 hours, so when a new round begins it is impossible for anyone to be attacked within the first two days. Ogame, New players are listed as green and have a (n) next to their name, for "Newbie protection" so they cannot be attacked either. And, here's the best part, if they ever would make a change to this, they would announce it so everyone would be aware.
