Suggestion #1 - Don't help. You have a choice in this game: Being nice, or
levelling. You decide.

Suggestion #2 - Find less active areas. There is a fine balance between "just
enough critters" and "too many", and sometimes it takes a while to find such an
area, only to have a train dragged down on you. Oh well - live and learn (or
die and learn, in this case ;)
