EVENT TROUBLESHOOTING

If the event is not showing up correctly or if glitches are affecting your play:
  1. Check that you meet the version and dragon power requirements.
  2. Try hard-closing and then relaunching your game.
  3. Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game). If you are on wifi and have access to the router, try rebooting that, too.
  4. Try switching to a completely different internet source.
  5. Try clearing your game’s cache (google for instructions for your specific phone type).
  6. If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues like lagging or error messages (or if the event vanishes completely), close the game and try again after 2-3 hours. Events are internet-based, and sometimes issues with the servers can cause temporary problems — all we can do for that is to wait it out.
  7. If none of the above helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the Support Web Portal for help figuring out what’s wrong.
  • NOTE: Cloud Save is still unreliable: according to the developer, it is not safe to be used and should be left turned off.
  • NOTE: Saving your Progress: Make sure to save your progress by traveling to the World Map screen (and waiting there until everything’s fully loaded) regularly, and especially before closing your game.

2024.05.14 20:58 Scott_TargetTestPrep Use "Smart Numbers" to Solve GRE Quant Questions

If you have been studying for the GRE for any period of time, you likely have come across the term “smart numbers,” one of many GRE math strategies we’ll discuss in this article. Smart numbers are real numbers that you choose that make doing necessary calculations as simple as possible in a given problem.
For example, let’s say you need to determine what percent the final price of an item was of the original price, if the original price was first increased by 20 percent, and then decreased by 40 percent. To easily get through this question, we use the “smart number” of 100 for the original price, and then we calculate as follows:
The increase of 20 percent yields: 100 x 1.2 = 120
The decrease of 40 percent yields: 120 x 0.6 = 72
Thus, the new price is 72/100 x 100 = 72 percent of the original.
We see that by using a “smart number” of 100, we easily came up with the correct answer of 72 percent.
Warmest regards,
Scott

2024.05.14 20:57 Accomplished-Cow-234 Supporting daughter through her new obsessive concerns.

I am looking for some advice. My daughter (11) is autistic and has been diagnosed with anxiety. Generally, she doesn't have much in the way of compulsions or obsessions, but she goes through periods of obsession. We had a few weeks of her chronically asking about being in trouble and then worrying about being late, which she has mostly moved on from. Overr the past few weeks she has started obsessing about 2nd hand touching of pee. Like, "I think I got a drop of pee on my pants and then it touched the blanket, is it okay if I touch the blanket".
Are there any best practices, her mother and I should be doing? We try to stay patient and reassure her that it is fine. She is already on 25 mg of Setraline and is restarting therapy, but not with someone who has a speciality in cbt, anxiety, or ocd.
Prior to this most recent episode, she had a tremendous last year of grade school. She chose to join a bunch of clubs and even did a sport, but she pulled away from a lot of the stuff over the past few months, which I mention since it corresponds with the most recent obsession.
What else should we be doing to support her and help her through this? Were there any strategies that helped you when you were younger?
Thanks!

2024.05.14 20:53 lhcampos How to increase NPC bases without attacking Player bases?

I'm trying to make a second account following a farming strategy, where I rarely attack any player's base, so my PV is low. I mainly attack Dr. T and NPC bases (as they are VP neutral).
I know that this is not the fastest way to progress, but it is just how I am trying to enjoy the game in this account.
I would like to ask if there is any way to increase the spawn rate of NPC bases. I'm clearing the NPCs as quickly as possible and avoiding any player bases, but now my map is starting to get full of too many player bases and NPCs are no longer spawning. This is bad because NPCs are a good source of loot for this account.
I know that if I clean the entire map the spawning rate will increase for both Mercenary and Blackguard bases, but I dont want to attack other player bases.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do in this case? Thanks

2024.05.14 20:51 TheSims3enjoyer Rescuing as Journalist

Recently I've been wondering what is the most efficient way of rescuing as Journalist. As for now I've heard about 3 strategies (Zeez Vor Gee V's, GEISHAGAMING's and Silmina's). First one is about saving rescue Orphy for later, for more dangerous rescues (when you're injured, detention, basement, hunter with strong camping abilities). The other strategy is trying to not get injured when rescuing, so tide can do it's thing, and then go for the second rescue. If you don't want to get injured in most scenarios you're going to sent your Orphy in the first rescue. I also saw a guide when they say to send Orphy as distraction and rescue as Alice, so the person doesn't get farmed. So ig the question is how do you guys rescue as Journalist? Which is the best strategy or maybe there's a different one I don't know about. I hope someone will answer (it's my first post) I'd like to improve my journalist and rescuing overall. Ty for replies in advance^

2024.05.14 20:50 Altruistic-Teach5899 Chaos Cult vs Pactbound Zealots: which one is less garbage for chaos mortal players?

Well, just what titlecard says. Im a Lost and the Damned player that only plays the damned stuff from the codex (+vehicles and daemon engines, i just love my astra proxies goign along with daemon engines) and now im wondering which one of these two is better for a chaos mortals list.
Im going to try and test all, but seems like until halfway june I won't be able to play 40k at all, so I can start theorycrafting a bit.
So, by one side Chaos Cult is... weird. I dunno if it's DOA and we'll have to wait 3-5 years in order for GW to amend this, but after a bit of testing and playing it seems like, indeed, the synergies are weird, and this is the most bizarrely written detachment of them all.
By the other, Im also tempted by Pactbound Zealots... but those are the index rules, and its not like I was doing much well with it, and now the nerf... I mean, maybe Im too bad at playing the detachment or I need to rethink my strategies using it? Maybe Im too used to playing Astra with spikes and I still havent realised the correct balance between vehicles and trash infantry.
I accept any tips before all anything else, but when I start my crusade I'll definitively try them both. Just happy to have a place on the codex, and Im sure at least a little touch will be done between the codex release and the dataslate. Nothing too crazy (10-20 guardsmen) but just one or two tweaks.
Also considering playing deceptors, if anyone wants to also give me tips on that. Rest dont seem very damned-friendly (alltho, once i get a few pair of more vehicles Soulforged deserves a go)
So, ideas, suggestions, am I sleeping on Chas Cult/Pactbound or what?

2024.05.14 20:48 letsgofrolicking Where are the minimalist fashionistas and how do you stay minimalist?

Just something I was pondering the other day after having a discussion with a co-worker about minimalism. She had no idea that I consider myself a minimalist because I am always the most fashionable person in the office. I broke down my wardrobe to her and she was stunned at how it worked and how she had never noticed the "repetition" before. My co-worker had the stereotype of minimalists in her head: that we all strive to own as little as humanly possible and that we wear super plain things like jeans and black t-shirts as our daily uniform. So, just curious about other minimalists who love fashion of some form and how you do it! I'll outline my system below now for those curious! It's long to type out, but was actually pretty quick conversation over lunch in person!

Basically, besides socks/bras/underwear here is what I own:
  1. Leggings. I have about 12 pairs of leggings that are either capris or full-length and basic neutrals like black, grey, and brown. I have 2 pair of fleece-lined ones for winter and separate workout leggings. I buy these new and from two different brands I really like. Replace as needed.
  2. Dresses. I have about 20-25 dresses at any given moment and they are all simple, classic cuts (t-shirt, a-line, sundress etc.) with a few sweater dresses and maxi dresses. I don't buy "themed" dresses, such as prints that are very obviously Christmas or Halloween. I stick to neutral solid colors and basic patterns like stripes and polka dots, as well as small non-flashy florals. Most of these dresses are thrifted and I enjoy the hunt for something. I do sometimes purchase new dresses but only if they are high quality, extremely versatile, look fantastic on me, and I can get them in several colors/patterns and just buy 4 versions of it in one go.
  3. Cover-ups. This is where the "style" comes in. I have about 15-20 different coverups in different styles that are ALL thrifted. They consist of things like cardigans, blazers, vests, button-down shirts, and light jackets. These are all pretty neutral as well but I love finding pieces with a little flair to them. Like, I have 2 denim vests, one that is just a plain, simple vest and one that has fun embroidered daisy patches on it.
  4. Shoes. I pretty much only ever have 9 pairs of shoes. 2 pair of sneakers, 2 pairs of sandals, 2 fashion boots (ankle/riding), 2 ballet flats, and 1 pair of work boots. These are all new and slightly higher quality and I rarely have to replace one, besides the pair or sneakers and boots that I work out/hike in and thus get worn down more quickly.
  5. Accessories. I have a small collection of scarves, jewelry, purses, belts, and a few odds and ends like that.
The only pants I own are a pair of hiking pants and a pair of work overalls! I do have in one part of my sock drawer two hiking t-shirts, a swimsuit, and sleeping shorts/sweats. That's it.
ALL of this fits in one 4 drawer dresser and 1 standard size hanging clothes rack, taking up maybe one quarter of my walk-in closet. Yes, including the accessories. Most of the closet is just storage for the seasonal things like our small boxes of holiday décor, our snowshoes, and the cushions for our patio furniture. There are two whole shelves just empty in there.
Now, the fashionable part is that because all my clothes are mainly neutrals or very subtle little extras, they all mix and match, and I can throw an accessory on to completely change the feel of the outfit. The day my co-worker and I were talking about fashion and minimalism I was wearing a plain black sundress with a plain denim vest, plain blue sandals, and a summery scarf tied in my hair. I told her this was the same dress I wore to the big fancy fundraising dinner last November, but I paired it with a black blazer, my black riding boots, black leggings, and a simple pearl necklace/earring set. I also worse this dress/boot/legging combo to our Christmas party too, I just switched the blazer for a red cardigan and threw on a white scarf and snowflake earrings. She was flabbergasted and she swore she'd never seen this dress on me before. But I literally wear this dress all the time. I've repaired the straps on it twice and the hem once, it's that old and loved. I love taking the same core pieces and mixing & matching them in creative ways to create whole new looks. I've worn the same dress three times in one week and gotten compliments on my outfit from the same people telling me I always look so put together. People think I must own a whole closet full of clothes and spend tons of money, but I don't. It's just strategy! _________________________________________________________
WOW, that was long! But who else can I talk all this out with, lol! There's gotta be SOMEONE here that loves fashion as a minimalist too, or someone who thinks they have to give it up to be a minimalist. This post is for us!

2024.05.14 20:43 Cruseyd Best Decks For Teaching Lorcana

I am going to be teaching some of my friends how to play Lorcana soonish and I am trying to put together a handful of decks which are fun to play, reasonably strong (but not necessarily competitive), and are obviously easy to pick up and play without too much need for prior knowledge. If possible I would like to cover all 6 inks across 3-4 decks.
Some specific factors that I think are important: 1.) No specific mulligan strategy apart from "get rid of expensive uninkables" 2.) Not too many uninkables 3.) Able to quest, challenge/remove threats, and draw cards well enough 4.) Focused more on midrange and not on hyper aggro or hyper control 5.) Minimal use of "play around" cards (Be Prepared / Madame Medusa / Whole New World / Rapunzel)
My first considerations: 1.) Ruby / Amethyst - THE midrange deck with less emphasis on late game control 2.) Ruby / Amber - Beefy bois with Amber ramp 3.) Emerald / Amethyst - Midrange bounce 4.) Emerald / Steel - Pings / Some discard 5.) Sapphire / Steel - Bodyguards / Resist 6.) Sapphire / Amethyst - Ramp / Midrange
I might axe the Sapphire decks because I reckon Sapphire is the least approachable color for new players with the focus on items and ramp.
Let me know what thoughts any of you may have.

2024.05.14 20:41 Prestigious-Wave-317 How not to let pursuit of filmmaking ruin your life ?

To be honest, it has already ruined my life, just don`t want it continues to ruin the rest of my life, mentally, phisically, financially, even sexually. When I used to working in factory, I think about films; when I thinking about films, I don`t have the mood to flirt with girls; when I cannot find actors or come up with a good idea or see no future for this film, I feel frustrated and helpless and I smoke a lot.
Obviously the most effective way is to give up. I tried but I just cannot get this desire out of my head, and doing something not interested in is killing me. This dream has stayed with me since I was a teenager, it has lasted for so long and remain unfulfilled.
Those established filmmakers say "just pick up a camera and shoot", well, I don`t think it`s that simple. Now I don`t want to make a feature film anymore, because I just don`t have so much time and energy and I know almost centainly I`ll have nothing in return at the end. Well, I don`t expect it to earn me money or fame, but just enjoying the process is difficult enough, more often I feel disappointed and frustrated, not excited and thrilled. And more importantly, my life now is extremely unbalanced, I must control this desire, not let it control me. Or more ideally, find a way to fulfill it.
I want to do some Youtuber thing, but a problem is what I interested in is art film, but art is something one-hit, video weekly is not art. Few days ago I come up with an idea that doing some documentary diary thing like street video, doesn`t require a story, doesn`t require actors, but very soon I think this is quite boring. I am very interested in cult films, but actors, costumes, set design, special make-ups, storys, jesus, how can I do it.
Another thing is I`ve made a few short films, but I never find myself satisfied during the process, I realised this is because the story is not fully developed, the shooting schedual is too tight, the uninterested actors, too much distraction on the set, no chemistry, lack of communication and analysing......
Filmmaking is something which has so much to worry about, so complicated, so much load of work, so much self-doubt involved.
So, what is your method, way, philosophy, mindset, attitude, strategy, solution to deal with this one of the most difficult things to do on earth.

2024.05.14 20:33 unheimliches-hygge Meet up?

Hi "Oonagh,"
Hey, how have you been? I was wondering, would you ever have time and willingness to meet up with me, and just have a conversation about things? It's coming up on two years since "Clive" broke up with me, but I still struggle with a lot of heartbreak and trauma over how it happened and all the fallout afterwards. It has just been a hard thing to process, that someone would be so nice to me as a friend for so many years, and then treat me so horribly when we dated and after, when I was at my most vulnerable, and also knowing that I was a trauma survivor with trust issues. I had a few conversations with "John" that were sort of helpful, but I have tried to minimize what I told either of you, for various reasons that I've told you already. But, I feel like it might help me if you and I could sit down and I could talk really openly about what happened, and if I could just hear your take on things. Like I shared with you, I had some theories that would explain a good portion of why it all turned into such a dumpster fire, but I keep feeling like there are things I'm just missing that you might be able to help me figure out, as the person who is closest to him.
The question I really keep going back to at the heart of it all is - did he ever actually care about me? And if he did, why did he stop caring and stop wanting to be my friend? After three months of us dating, he broke up with me by telling me that being with me made him feel consumed with guilt, because it reminded him of all the other times in the past that he hurt women because he didn't care about them at all and was just using them as an ego boost. It came across as him telling me that I was just another one in a long line of women he had used and didn't care about. Maybe I wouldn't have found that so easy to believe, but in the three months before that, he had seemed to change pretty dramatically from the guy I knew and loved before things became physical between us, into someone erratic who would flip back and forth unpredictably from acting like his old self, to behaving very coldly and devaluing me. Sometimes I felt like I was seeing a mask slip, sometimes I was just baffled, and sometimes it seemed to me that he was just very troubled and scared and it was a kind of self-protective strategy, one that was unfortunately hurtful and toxic to the person on the other end of it, me.
I tried so hard afterwards to accept that for whatever reason, he had decided I was garbage to him and that just was how it was. But part of me couldn't really believe it for a long time. Because, why? I kept wanting to think it was all a series of sad misunderstandings. It took me like a year of processing things in therapy before I could wrap my head around the fact that it wasn't misunderstandings that were to blame - at a number of crucial points, he just blatantly lied about things. He lied by omission, and also lied by saying things that were just plumb not true. He lied to me, he lied to "Javier," he lied to you, he lied to other women he'd been with ... But the lies were weird, because he would say them with so much confidence, I would think I must have just misunderstood when he'd said almost the exact opposite before. It wasn't clear in retrospect whether he actually believed what he was saying, or was delusional, or just didn't feel any compunction about bending the truth. But then, a big question that lingers in my mind is you - is it really possible that you could live with him for 25 years, or however long, and not notice the lying? You are maybe the biggest mystery about him. How could a guy who has such severe issues with how he treats women maintain a long term relationship with you - someone who clearly cares a lot about ethics?
Those are some of the mysteries for the ages, and maybe you can offer me no insights, and maybe you wouldn't want to try to help me understand even if you could. But, I've been at a place of "aporia" with this for a long time, so it seems worth trying one more time to see if any light could be shed on these awful experiences. Of course, understanding the "why" of him discarding me can't change the fact that he did discard me. And most likely the real answer is that it wasn't my fault, he is just a dishonest, uncaring person who uses people and then discards them. That's been all the answer I've been able to discover for the last two years, and it hasn't made me feel a ton better. And since he clearly stopped caring about me at some point if he ever did care about me, does it actually matter whether he was ever sincere and ever did care? I wish I could forgive him and feel at peace about things, but it's hard to forgive a person who I think doesn't care about whether I forgive him or not, and would continue to treat me with contempt regardless. I'm also scared because I wouldn't trust him not to try to hurt me more if he could. And I'm scared of him hurting more women in the future, since I understand from what he and others told me that he has a long history of hurting women.
The only thing that could make any real positive difference to help me get closure would be him making an effort to mend fences. I tried several time to mend the fences, but since they weren't broken one-sidedly, they couldn't be fixed one-sidedly, and I was clearly the only one interested in fence-mending. I've 99.9% accepted that the fences will never be mended, and the best that can be hoped for is that the dumpster fire eventually burns itself out, and I move on and heal and let go of my hurt and grief. I just still can't help but wish for a better and easier way, with less dumpster and less fire involved. Anyway, I am just rambling at this point, so I will wrap up. I hope you and John are doing okay.
All the best, me

2024.05.14 20:32 Zealousideal_Bet4038 CYOA LitRPG, and another weird idea

I'm getting back into creative writing as a hobby, and I'd like to write something for self-publication, probably on RoyalRoad. I've been spitballing ideas with myself of what I want that to look like, and a few ideas have come to mind that I'd like to sound off in this community and see if this even makes sense outside of my own brain.
CYOA LitRPG
This idea started out with me thinking about the "RPG" in LitRPG. The gamification takes place in the fiction itself; there are mechanics and numbers that the reader can understand as quantifying parts of the fiction and give them an extra level of information to engage with while they read. But the text itself isn't really a game, much less an RPG, it's just about one.
So that got me thinking about the Choose Your Own Adventure books I used to read as a kid (anybody else remember those?). At different points in the story the reader was presented with the choice of several courses of action the protagonist might pursue, and the page number to flip to if you want the story to go that direction. So I started thinking, what if there were a serial LitRPG that operated on the same principle? At the end of each chapter, it would tell you which chapter is next in this branch of the various possible plots and you would turn to that chapter. At chapters where there is a choice for the reader to make, it would instead explain the options and the starting chapter for each of those plot branches.
Now obviously the downside of this is that it's a HUGE amount of extra writing and organizational work, and may be hard to keep a coherent publishing schedule for. However, it could be really cool as it allows the reader to engage a bit more directly with some of the Roleplaying Game-ness of LitRPG.
The Other Idea I Don't Have A Name For
Bear with me on this one, because it's probably been done before and I'm just ignorant. If there is an established name for this or you have recommendations, please let me know. Basically I had this idea when I came across an Instagram Reels series where they were playing chess, and the most liked comment after 24hrs would be the next move every turn. This pretty quickly devolved into commenters making up crazy stuff like merging Rook-Knights and doing en passant with bishops and all kinds of fun craziness. But it gave me this idea.
A LitRPG (or any genre but LitRPG seems especially fun for this) where the readers actually drive the plot. At the end of each chapter, readers can comment what they think the protagonist should do next or what they're general plan/strategy should be going into a situation. Obviously this is very similar to the CYOA style branching-plot model but more open, and needing less excessive amounts of writing and organization. It would also only feature one plot, so it would require a lot more attentiveness to what the audience as a group is interested in rather than being able to cater to a bunch of individual readers.
Conclusion, and Thanks For Reading!
So yeah, those are the two ideas I had. I don't know if I'm going to act on either of them, but they seem cool in theory and I wanted to share it with this group. Do you know of other projects that have done something similar? Is there a name for the second type of thing I was talking about that I just don't know yet? Do you think these are cool ideas? Terrible? I'd love to hear what you think in the comments. I know this was a long post so thanks for taking the time to read if you've made it this far, and have a great day!

2024.05.14 20:25 waytonpilkin Has anyone seen this Kickoff Strategy before?

Has anyone seen this Kickoff Strategy before?
Hey folks! I'm currently researching for a video I'm working on about a particular Kickoff Strategy that has become more popular in the RLCS recently. I've reached a roadblock in my research though, so I thought the Reddit community would be the perfect place to ask for help!
The strategy I'm researching is this kickoff in particular, which RLCS fans may recognize. KCorp use a unique Pinch Kickoff Strategy that sends the ball straight to the opponent's backboard. They then quickly score from the instant pressure.
This is actually a strategy that I've seen before. I myself made a video about it almost 2 years ago. However, I am almost CERTAIN that I did not come up with this strategy off the top of my head. I could've sworn I recalled seeing someone else do this on purpose and post it somewhere like Reddit or Twitter a while before me. However, as I stated in my video back then, I could not find any original clips or videos of it. And even after some more extensive research recently, I STILL cannot find any clips of anyone doing it before my video in June of 2022.
I'm sure there are clips out there (because I don't think I made the strategy myself) but I just can't seem to find them, so I am coming to YOU in case you happen to know of any OG clips of it happening.
To be clear, I am aware of a similar (but different) strategy previously used by players such as JZR, in which one player goes for the mid side boost, while the other attempts to cleanly beat their opponent to the ball. However, I don't consider that the same as this Pinch Kickoff Strategy from KCorp.
I've also come across countless clips of players doing a normal team pinch kickoff that goes straight into the net without the opponents touching it, however I also don't consider this the same.
Johnnyboi_i made a video recently discussing what makes this strategy unique and effective if you're curious to check it out!
If you happen to have or know of any clips of this Pinch Kickoff Strategy being used before my video in 2022 (or even after would be great too!) then please let me know! I'm normally able to get the info/clips I need from my own research and asking around within my circle but this time it's proving to be a more difficult challenge. So if you choose to help out, I really appreciate it! Thanks guys!

2024.05.14 20:16 Quesita3 Google my business account with service area

Hi everyone,
I am a dance teacher who does not have a permeant store front. I rent space from other people and bring my clients there. Previously, I was able to have a GMB account with the address of the place I was renting from, but the rules have changed and since moving the location of my business, I can no longer have a GMB listing with an address, but rather a "service area." I also lost all of my reviews when I changed my area and after talking with google, they said they cannot recover them.
I wanted to ask if anyone has any advice on getting a google business listing to show up in an area without a physical address. Is this even worth pursuing? Anyone have any luck showing up in search results with just a service area, and if you did, what was your strategy. Should I just bite the bullet and pay for some ads?
Thanks for any advice. Previously I relied on my google business listing to get clients and now I feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me. If you're in the same type of boat, how do you get the word out? Thanks!

2024.05.14 20:11 xl826 My Winning Baccarat Strategy

A lot of people ask if you can consistently make money at Baccarat. The answer is kind of. I am a gambling hobbyist and in the last 20 years I've probably made over $100K at Baccarat. I've made more at Blackjack and Poker but those two games are A LOT of work. I like the simplicity of Baccarat where I can chat with the dealers and other players.
So, what's my secret? It comes down to money management and waiting for hot streaks. I bide my time playing the minimums and sit out hands when the shoe is choppy. But when a streak comes in I bet big (but not never the entire bankroll in one shot).
Below are the rules I live by when I play Baccarat. They work for me. I'm sure they'll be many of you that have made money breaking some or all the rules below, but these strategies have made me money and put me in a net positive. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions or even voice disagreement with my list. Good luck playing!
  1. Accept that you will go home a loser sometimes. This is the most important thing I've learned about Baccarat. I can't win every Baccarat session nor can I break even sometimes. It's better to go home a slight loser than being in the hole $10K. If you are to be successful at Baccarat, you need to fully absorb this. It is the number one rule to my success.
  2. I do not employ the Martingale or Fibonacci betting systems. They work until they don't work and when they don't work you're going to lose a lot of money.
  3. I only increase my bets after a winning hand and never a losing hand. Human nature tends to want to increase bets after a losing hand to win money back. The opposite should be done. Increase your bets only when you are winning.
  4. Employ a trailing stop with winnings. By all means increase your bets when you are on a hot streak but ALWAYS put aside money that you will absolutely go home with as a winner. If you don't know what a trailing stop is, Google it.
  5. Never bet against a streak of four or more. I have personally seen a Player streak of 13 in a row (with some ties interspersed) that wiped out an entire table of bettors. If you wan to bet against a streak wait until the streak is over.
  6. Avoid side bets. The payouts are wonderful but they are few and far between. Stick with Banker or Player.
  7. Believe in luck. When I have a streak of bad luck it's bad. I get an 8 and the opposite hand gets a 9. When I get a 9 so does the opposite. But I also get streaks of good luck, I get a three card 1 and the opposite gets a 0. When my luck is bad I just go home to come back another day.

2024.05.14 20:09 taptheflow Confused and disappointed

I (41M) matched with her (28F) a couple of weeks ago and hit it off, she was the first to offer her phone number so we could chat outside the app. We chatted constantly with great banter and vested interest. Set up a date for last weekend (Sunday). She lives 2 hrs away but I was overdue for a road trip and was glad to find an excuse to get out of town. I suggested we go somewhere pretty and have a picnic (we're in the PNW so there's plenty of that) and settled on a beautiful park. I offered to pick her up but after a conversation she said she felt better if we just arrived in separate cars because she wanted the option of an "exit strategy" in case the "vibe wasn't there". I respected her boundaries and complied, it was our first meeting and I am completely flexible and respectful. I was raised a gentleman (Hispanic background) and I think chivalry is not dead. Not trying to virtue signal, just think being a decent person should be the norm and traditional values are not seen much these days. The day before, I went all over town getting goodies (charc, cheese, wine, fruit, wine, et al) to cover everything she'd told me she liked so we could have lots of options. I got to the park and we instantly hit it off, found a nice bench and had a lot of fun getting to know each other with good conversation, food, wine, laughter and eventually making out, which was wonderful. I told her I really liked our day and was willing to set time for her to keep hanging out, and that if she was down I would be back next weekend and get an Airbnb. I didn't just want to assume I could invite myself over to her house without her specifically being open to it and asking me so she wouldn't feel pressured. She was completely on board and I drove back home feeling really happy and excited. She wrote me back saying "so next week, we have some things to discuss. Really just one thing, but if we are going to continue spending time together it's important information. You should know that I have HSV. And I know that would give me pause, so I understand if that's a dealbreaker for you." I told her that it's not, and that I trusted she had a handle on it, and thanked her for being transparent . To which she said she definitely did have a handle on it. She sends me a picture of her and her mom when she was a baby so I could see how much she looks like her, it was her mom breastfeeding her "which is probably an overshare" to which I said not to worry and thank you for sharing that with me. I shared a picture of my mom so she could see the resemblance as well in return. Monday rolls around and she sends me a little video of her at work looking cute, had a little bit of texting back and forth and the rest of the day no further contact. She usually would text me after work when she'd free up and we talked till we called it a day, which was happening for at least a week before we even met in person. I sent her a trailer for a series we talked about, telling her to watch season 1 and I'd save season 2 to watch it together. No reply. This morning still no communication. I figured she was busy so I went ahead and booked the Airbnb for this weekend. Not 10 minutes go by after that that she texts me saying "I'm not sure we should hang out this week" I replied with "Really? ooof just booked the Airbnb, What's up? Sorry, I should've asked you" To which she replied "I'm just feeling sick, and frankly, I'm not sure if the attraction's mutual" To which I said "Oh wow. Didn't seem that way on Sunday. What changed? Just trying to understand." She wrote me back saying "Just a little reflection. I like your attention but the it would be disingenuous." Those words. Confusing. I answered "The it?" And she says "Sorry, brain fog. I am quite sick." I told her "Hmm ok. Hope you feel better. I'd be grateful if you could clear it up when you're up for it." I want to give her the benefit of the doubt because I really did feel good chemistry when we spent the day together, but part of me is saying that I'm simping and to let it go. I'm losing my trust in women and I feel very sad about it. I'd already erased the dating apps as soon as I got home that day because I thought I found someone worth investing my time with. We really did hit it off when we met, talked about making plans together and I really felt this was heading somewhere positive.
Dating sucks and as much as I really am making an effort nothing seems to stick. A similar situation happened about a month ago with another lady who at first seemed very invested and then just lost interest. By no means trying to put myself as a victim here and if anything writing it down helped me process so if you read so far thank you and if it relates to anything you've been through just want to say you're not alone.
TL;DR thought I really hit it off with a lady that gave me all the signs it was mutual down to making plans together and she pulled a 180º.

2024.05.14 20:01 Only_Gold_1054 Crowdsourcing Alternative Commodity Market Data - Seeking Feedback

Hello Everyone!

I've been working on something that could potentially be interesting to the community, and would love your genuine feedbacks.

I've been talking with some of my friends working as traders in the space, particularly those focused on paper trading, who have shared fascinating insights into the lengths they go to gain an informational edge. Many are spending significant sums to establish direct access to key sites around the world, aiming to be the first to know about supply chain disruptions, inventory fluctuations, and other events that could move markets.
Interestingly, this real-time, on-the-ground intel often spreads first in private chats among exclusive networks of traders before hitting mainstream news channels. This allows those with access to act quickly on the information asymmetry.
I'm developing a crowdsourcing platform (using blockchains as payment rails) that aims to revolutionize this dynamic by connecting data providers ("Agents") directly with data consumers, enabling the efficient exchange of unique, actionable information that can inform trading strategies and risk management. The platform would feature verification mechanisms for data integrity, bonding curve pricing to reflect data value, and tokenized incentives for participation.
Key features of the platform include:
  1. Agents can create private data channels and set a bonding curve pricing model, where the price of access increases as more subscribers join. This acts as a proxy for the credibility and value of the Agent's information. (A Bonding Curve would look something like this: 1*72qA4WIL6LvWUnX6tmfviQ.png (640×480) (medium.com) where supply is the current number of subscribers.)
  2. Various verification mechanisms are in place for Agents, such as location tracking, email confirmation, daily check-ins, and sensor connections to ensure data integrity and reliability.
  3. Data consumers do not directly pay Agents, but rather interact with a smart contract that automatically handles payments and access control based on predefined rules.
  4. The platform includes a real-time chat feature for direct communication between Agents and subscribers, enabling more contextual and timely information sharing.
To all the community members, I'm seeking your valuable feedback on two key aspects:
  1. What kind of alternative data or market insights would you find most valuable and are currently not easily accessible to you? This could include data on supply chain flows, inventory levels, weather patterns, satellite imagery analysis, or any other information that could give you an edge in your trading decisions. I am aware alternative data industry is already a huge industry, but would there be valuable sources of data that are only accessible through last-mile, real-time data updates? (For example in these two posts on oil and coffee's influence from weather, would access to these information through a verified source provide you with information edge?)
  2. What do you foresee as potential drawbacks, risks, or pitfalls of such a platform? Are there any specific concerns around data quality, privacy, security, or regulatory compliance that we should be mindful of? Any thoughts on how to mitigate these risks and build trust in the platform?
Your input would be greatly appreciated as we shape the development of this crowdsourced data exchange platform. The goal is to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem that empowers commodity traders with timely, actionable insights while rewarding data providers for their valuable contributions.
Thank you in advance for your time and insights. I look forward to a fruitful discussion and learning from your experiences in the commodities trading space.
Best regards, OnlyGold

2024.05.14 19:57 Emergency-Ad792 Hey devs listen up

I’ll start by saying this is not one of those SnOw dAy iS sOo bAd posts. So let’s keep the hate to minimum.
What would you(the new kids) like to tell/ask devs about the game?
We all want more content added that’s a given so what features would you like added? What possible story lines or side quests? Maybe a quality of life feature not yet in the game?
For me I just want some in game communication..a ping system or pre set chat phrases anything lol. I also think there needs to be some elites. Not quite a boss but more strategy required than the trash mobs.(6th graders/adults I would hardly call elites lol). A higher difficulty too. This game got way easy way fast.
Let’s keep the discussion constructive. 🖤

2024.05.14 19:54 NekoJustice Roll20 Battle Report 3: Battle For The Big Drill!

Hey all!
Today's battle report is a 1000pt. Simple Battle, featuring a terrain piece that is pretty unique! Once again, my opponent is the dastardly daisucce. Per his request, the center of the map is dominated by a massive boring drill. The center control point is in the middle of it, with two arms (in green) that rotate 90 degrees clockwise after each Round. The center point is on elevated High Ground indestructible terrain; the arms are not invulnerable, however. Surrounding this is a massive black hole made by the drill; any units that fall in are considered destroyed by the massive bore.
Principality of Zeon
I used a refined version of the strategy I employed in my first Roll20 Game; headed up by my Gouf Flight Type Ace and an Ace Gaw, both of which had Grand Strategist/Strategic Captain. Using the Captain's Order to increase movement speed, Dynamic Entrance, and a ton of Focus Actions, my goal is to break through the enemy lines as fast as possible to swarm daisucce 's higher priority units and secure the victory. To support this, I have a flight of Dopp Fighters, who can use elevated terrain easily due to their flight speed, trying to ping in chip damage and force activations with their relatively long range Aircraft Missiles.
Earth Federation Forces
daisucce and I brainstormed a strategy before this that might be to his liking. He has a particular affinity for Gundam Unit 4's Mega Bazooka Launcher, and wanted an army that could field two of them while having fodder take the heat. Using some input, this is what he came up with. He's going to use Pilot Traits with heavy Momentum generation, then further fuel his Momentum with a swarm of cannon fodder, using Rallying Leader to generate fuel for his death rays.
Round 1
I launch all of my units, except the Gouf Flight Type from the Gaw Carrier; the Carrier and Gouf give a pair of Focus Actions to my Doms and Zakus, then declare the Captain's Order to Take The Fight To Them!, increasing Movement Speed by +5" and Melee Block +1 for all my units. Seizing initiative, my Gouf Flight Ace zooms to the center control point, nearly knocks out a GM with its High Ground TA, then moves back to capture the point. It vainly returns fire. I move a Dopp in and fire off missiles; I'm trying to force daisucce to not immediately fire off his G04 Launchers, while also not giving him Momentum from killing his stuff. He responds by killing the Dopp, I move in and knock out the GM Early that killed it with a Zaku II TL Missile Pod attack with two Focus Actions.
He moves a GM Early onto the boring drill arm to attack my Gouf, but Awe Inspiring Arrival, a Shield, and Guard prevent any hits from connecting. My Doms move in, their enhanced speed letting them easily tear apart the offending GM with High Ground by popping their Focus Actions and laying into it with Machine Guns. Meanwhile, the G04's move onto the building they're behind, gain High Ground (equal level with the Gouf Flight Type) and try and fail to shoot it with Beam Rifles thanks to Unyielding.
Soon after, the Fly Mantas and Dopps engage, Ace Combat music obviously blaring in the background. My Dopps have a Movement Speed advantage thanks to the Captain's Order, with some also using the nearby terrain to gain TA and thus some free hits. The remainder of the Round involves some position jockeying, and my Gaw moving into position to provide close support, its movement speed doubled thanks to Full Throttle and the Captain's Order!
Round 2
Both players have started this Round with 10 Momentum due to how the last one went. Tension is in the air, and the Drill Arms move 90 degrees.
daisucce wins the die roll, and proceeds to dump bombs on my Dom. Rude! Being within its Sensors Range, the 10 Attack, 100 Damage Small Bombing Run is actually pretty good from a 10 Point Unit. My Dom moves back slightly, lights up the Fly Manta with a Machine Gun, then Melees a different one to death.
This is where things go wrong.
Using Tear Through The Ranks, daisucce has his Commander G04 activate, fire off the Mega Bazooka Launcher with High Ground TA against one group of my forces, fire off again and hit my Gaw and, then fire off a Beam Rifle at my Gouf Flight Type.. I lose all of my Zakus, most of my Dopps, and 1/3rd of my Gaw's HP. Amazingly, the drill arm survived all of this, and my Commander didn't take any hits (but had to use Unyielding.) He responds by bum-rushing the other, using High Speed Attack TA to try to kick the other G04 off the platform so it would lose LoS from activating its own death beam. This doesn't go so well, so I move my Gouf between the two, hoping that keeping them locked in Engagement Range with an Unyielding Commander would lock him down well enough. I manage to survive two bouts of Melee Clash with his G04 using Tear Through The Ranks, but he gains 4 Momentum from his Pilot Traits! Despite my best efforts, I lose one of my Doms to more Bombing Runs and High Ground Beam Spray Rifle Hits just inside of Target Lock... the situation has become completely hopeless, with a huge Momentum disparity, so I concede the game at the end of Round 2.
Conclusion
I'll be the first to say it; I played this completely wrong. My forces should have been more spread out, probably into three groups, and I should have placed down terrain more favorable for stacking up behind. If I could play this one again, I'd have tried using a different formation. This team is great, but I think it might have been a bad matchup; if I used Skilled Pilots, I could have tried to ignore his meatshield walls and focused on the Gundams.
Oh well! You learn more from losing than winning. daisucce has come a long way!

2024.05.14 19:53 klownslayer Help with dependent probability (Not sure if it's actually dependent probablity)

Hello, all!
My friends and I have a weekly board game group. Our group likes to play a game a few times before moving on to the next. This works for our group as it allows us to have variety in the games we play, while still being able to focus on one long enough to discover strategies within it.
The way we decide what we will play during our next "deep dive" is elimination-based. When we first started doing this, everyone got 1 choice for what they wanted to play next. We put all the choices on a wheel and spun. Wherever the wheel stops, that choice is eliminated from the running. This continues until the final two choices. Whichever of these the wheel lands on is what we will play next.
The next time we pick a game, everyone who's game wasn't picked last time gets an additional pick, while the person who did pick the last game we played goes back to 1 choice.
This is where my question comes in. I seem to have hit a string of bad luck and none of my choices have been picked for 7 weeks in a row. I realize that out of four people, most with multiple options to be the winner, my odds aren't great, but it still seems pretty slim that I'm going into my eighth spin of the wheel not getting my game picked.
Can anyone here help me figure out the probablity (or odds) of going this long without getting to pick the next game? I have the numbers below since the last time my pick was selected.
Me Player 2 Player 3 Player 4
1 4 2 3
2 1 3 4
3 2 4 1
4 3 1 2
5 4 2 1
6 1 3 2
7 2 1 3
8* 3* 1* 4*
* These are the number of picks for our next game choice, so they haven't happened yet .
Keep in mind that this is only for the number of picks each player gets. We're ignoring the fact that multiple players could pick the same game; i.e. both me and another player pick Game A, but their name comes up for the final spin. We still get to play the game I wanted, but it wasn't my name associated with it when it was picked on the wheel.
I know the previous picks have no bearing on the upcoming pick—I have a 50/50 shot of one of my picks being selected this next round. I just seem to be rather unlucky with my number of picks going up, while the others remain about the same.
What are the chances that I went 7 picks without getting mine chosen, and what are the chances that I go another round without my pick being chosen?

2024.05.14 19:51 DONT_READ_THIS_OKAY THE WESTERN RAM IS BATTERING ITS DEMENTED HEAD AGAINST A RUSSIAN WALL

THE WESTERN RAM IS BATTERING ITS DEMENTED HEAD AGAINST A RUSSIAN WALL
https://preview.redd.it/vg2btat8kf0d1.jpg?width=748&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75a78fded339323c864661a38a969b6d9ca22363
As Russia survived the West's sanctions coming out smiling the western elites should have conceded failure. Instead they plowed on to certain defeat, upping a reckless ante, always doubling down. Why?
What is it with the British political elite and Ukraine? Is it some futile effort to recall the UK’s glory days when it was a great power? Are we merely seeing the lingering death throes of an empire long gone and now completely irrelevant? How many more Ukrainians must lose their lives for the sake of this gruesome activity by the Brits?
Hugely disliked in Britain Richie Sunak and his government may also be hoping for a much needed uptick in popularity by using their present breast-beating, war-mongering tactic in Ukraine to ultra-cynically bring it about. An earlier prime minister, Margaret Thatcher achieved just such a surge in popularity by going to war against Argentina over the Falkland Islands when her poll ratings were falling to dangerous levels. Thatcher succeeded where Sunak appears to be failing abysmally to achieve the same cynical maneuver.
Or is something else at work here? Do the western powers see their long-held ability to manipulate events globally fast slipping away? Could this be the true reason for their reckless strategy of endlessly supporting the Ukrainian regime despite every indicator that it is doomed to be utterly defeated by Russia? Might this be the most fundamental of all reasons for the hopeless endeavour to defeat a Russia that sees an existential threat in NATO’s ambition to put missiles on its border in Ukraine. This task was hopeless from the start as Russia simply cannot have such a circumstance and no amount of weaponry from the West will change this fact.
The political and media elites are clearly aligned as tight as can be in a unified war to maintain the status and power they have become so very used to till now. The thought of losing all the many perks that come with such a power brings them to a state of such utter agitation that we can expect almost any reckless action from them now. Even the prospect of nuclear war does not seem to faze the most zealot amongst them. It appears that no world at all is preferable to such convinced neocons than a world they can no longer control.
The British in their “wisdom” have told the Kiev regime that they are quite at liberty to fire the UK-supplied missiles at targets in Russia. The Russian high command has responded by saying that if this takes place they will then be at liberty to attack UK bases in Ukraine… and beyond. Yet even this statement does not appear to give the British pause, they continue their belligerent rhetoric, upping the ante even more. Now we hear that British special forces are at work in Ukraine. Another sign that sooner or later Russia will be bound to cause British blood to run in Ukraine, and quite possibly elsewhere.
What variety of madness has the western powers in its grip? Ukraine is of no special strategic interest to them? Yet they are clearly willing to see millions die to defend it in a struggle that was lost as soon as Russia survived all the West’s sanctions and came out the other side with the strongest economy in Europe. The madness involved breed mutually assured destruction and the deaths of millions. Does this prospect deter those in the West from their futile actions that has seen half a million Ukrainians die or be grievously wounded? Not a bit it seems. The juggernaut of western irresponsible warmongering goes on regardless.
Like the ram in the popular song of the late Fifties, ‘High Hopes’, but without its success, battering its head against an immovable dam, the bone-headed political and media elites of the West appear unable to halt their compulsively disastrous acts of sheer, reckless folly.
Wikipedia: The song describes two scenarios where animals do seemingly impossible acts. First, an ant moves a rubber tree plant all by himself, then a ram single-handedly puts a hole in a "billion-kilowatt dam." The desires of these animals are described by the chorus as "high, apple pie in the sky, hopes.”
