I view it as an overreaction to nag novices, yes. It's grown out of a desire to help your nation, and improve the quality of the game, but it's an overreaction non-the-less, and it can have the opposite effect if people aren't as understanding as Critter here.

And for all the forum readers, nagging usually consists of 'How are your Passages faring, Shadowbound?'. However, if I know that they are working on a particular passage, I'll ask how are they progressing, and if they need help. That's all.

When I mentioned nagging, it was meant in a light-hearted way.
I try to help out novices, and you call it an 'overreaction'. I try to interact with them because it's a pretty boring game when all you are doing is bashing, and you have been doing it for 10+ hours of your novicehood, and you call it an 'overreaction'. I don't constantly ask the novices about the status of their passages every fifteen minutes or so. I ask each novice -once-, and only check on their progress if they have indicated that they are working on it. And I don't merely get information on their passage status. I do help them out with their passages. Do you consider that as 'nagging'? Is it an 'overreaction'? Does that have an 'opposite effect'? Am I a heartless, obsessed, power-hungry, baby-eating novice-turnoff?
If you think that helping novices out with passing through their novicehood faster and interacting with them is wrong and bad, I'm not quite sure what an Undersec does anymore.
Edit: Whoops, a bit too late. Sorry about the rant Critter.
