Roronoa Zoro will be familiar to you as the first person to join Luffy’s crew. He’s one of the two swordsmen of the Straw Hat Crew and acts as Luffy’s trusty second-in-command.
However, he was originally planned to be one of the bad guys!
Eiichiro Oda revealed that Zoro was going to be the bodyguard of Buggy the Star Clown, captain of the Buggy Pirates.
Buggy is known to be one of Luffy’s main rivals and enemies, although they have temporarily joined forces at times to help each other.
Can you imagine how different One Piece would be without Zoro as part of the Straw Hat Crew?

If anyone were to say 'Hey, let me edit for you'.. after four months of writing.. I'd scream yes.
Summary: Kevin Collins, AKA "Angel" Is an ex-special forces ranger turned tracker. His self imposed mission; to find and rescue lost, kidnapped and exploited children. On one of his missions, he stumbles upon an injured woman. Believing she's a victim who escaped, he takes her to his van and dresses her wounds, asking who she is. She says her name is Charlotte, but she can't remember anything else. She asks how he found her, and he explains what he's there for. When she learns that children are in danger, she changes into a demon; something that scares the both of them. She begs Angel to not abandon her, and offers to use her powers to help him on his mission. He agrees, and so begins their journey to save souls, discover her past and in the process; fall in love. However, their journey will attract the attention of an evil so great, it threatens to rip them apart and make Charlotte into the most dangerous demon on Earth.
Scene Summary: Charlotte's first semi- solo mission to find and rescue a lost child in the mountains. (chapter 6)
Seconds had ticked by and Charlotte was already ahead of the groups that had begun to fan out. She cleared 50 yards ahead and stopped. Closing her eyes, she inhaled as deeply as she could and was greeted with a barrage of smells. Trees, bushes, animals, flowers, insects.. she could detect them all. But the scent of the boy was absent. Determined, she began to run, her cloven feet deftly carrying her over fallen branches, jagged trails and she moved in a wide zig-zag pattern, covering a lot of distance in minutes. Stopping at a sound she hadn’t quite picked up before, she closed her eyes and recognized a river, flowing fast in the distance south of her. She took another strong whiff and was greeted by the scent of water, algae, fish, mud and..
Her eyes snapped open. The boy’s scent was mixed into the rolling smells of the river! Turning towards the strongest of the smells, she picked up her pace and raced towards the river, opening up all of her senses to their max. In moments, she stood on the bank and looked down at the rushing waters. The sun had faded and now with the overcast clouds, twilight was taking hold. Darting her eyes and inhaling as deep as she could, she picked up two things; the scent of fear and distant crying.
“Angel?” She whispered into the headset. In took a couple of beats, and she heard his smooth voice.
“I’m here. Had to move away a bit from the others first. You have something?”
“I got his scent! I can’t tell how far off he is, but I think he’s in the river!”
Angel hissed urgently, “Go! Find him!”
She didn’t give a response as her legs started moving. Heart aching, Charlotte followed the scent and sound for nearly 300 yards down river, having now gone out of the search grid area. Thanks to her demon form, she alighted over the rough terrain, her eyes wide to let all the possible light in and give her a clear view of her surroundings. A quick pause to listen, the sounds of crying now lapped over the sounds of the river and she honed in.
Stepping over a ridge of an embankment, she looked down into the rushing water and there was the boy, stuck in a fallen tree that was a third of the way into the fast moving river. She quickly accessed that he had to have fallen in some place upstream and got carried to this spot, catching the tree to stop himself, but the water was too fast for him to pull himself out. She could tell he was fading, fast. If she didn’t get him out, he’d drown.
“Angel!” She radioed, “I found him! I found him! Track the tag! I have to get him out, now!”
“I’m coming!” Angel’s voice affirmed, with a hint of pride for her, and she clicked off the radio and looked around, seeing what she could do.
“Fuck, if only I had wings!” She cursed her limitations, but pushed it aside as she needed to rely on what she did have. Moving down to the edge of the river, Charlotte saw that he was out of her reach by some twenty feet. Testing the strength of the fallen tree, she tentatively started to crawl out but could only get half way when she heard snapping. The tree was not going to hold her weight if she went any further. Quickly thinking, Charlotte wrapped her demon tail around a thicker branch and slipped into the rushing water, the force more than she anticipated and it knocked her against the tree.
“OOMPH!” She let out a pained shout and the boy looked her way, eyes bloodshot from crying and let out a fearful whimper. Cursing herself again, she bit her lip and reached out for him. She knew he'd be scared at the feeling but if she could carry him around the tree and swim him to shore, maybe he’d think he got a current to lead him ashore.
Charlotte reached out but he was still out of her reach and she couldn’t get closer. She saw a six foot thick branch, broken off from the tree, lodged in among the other branches and thought if only she’d grabbed it first, she could reach him with it. She stared at the branch for an infinite but split second moment, wishing she had it and then she felt something solid in her clawed hand.
The branch she wanted had blinked out of it’s lodged spot to reappear in her grip, conjured as if by magic. Charlotte gasped. How? How!? She pushed the question aside and slipped the branch through the water until it nudged the boy. Would he grab it? She took a chance. “Grab the branch.” She spoke just loud enough for him to hear.
“Wha..?” He couldn’t say much else, his strength was giving out, and he was losing consciousness.
“Please, sweetie, grab hold… trust me.. please.. please.”
Subconsciously, he did as she asked and she pulled steady and firmly those frightening last few feet against the force of the river and brought him to her. She retracted her claws, letting her human hands take over and she grabbed him and pulled him to her. He was out, his body having given up and she put all of her strength into her tail and it pulled her till she could get her waist above the torrent of water. Lifting the boy into her arms and growling deep, she lunged and landed them roughly on the mud and sludge of the river’s edge. She flipped onto her back, the boy held in her tight embrace and she lay on her back, breathing hard, energy spent and she started crying.
He heard him take in a shuddering breath, followed by regular breathing and she cried harder, holding him close and comforting. I won’t let anything happen to you, she thought. I won’t let anything happen to ANYONE! She declared to herself.
She lost track of how long she lay there, body pressed into the cold wet mud, her cloven hooves splashed with lapping water at the river’s edge, but her ears picked up Angel nearing her and she sniffled in relief. She looked up over above and behind her as falling dirt signaled Angel’s arrival at the edge of the embankment.
Angel saw the boy suspended inches above the mud, as if floating and he slid down to kneel next to him and Charlotte’s invisible form.
“You okay?” He whispered.
Charlotte’s wet filled throat croaked back, exhausted “Take him.”
Angel slid his arms under the boy, sliding over Charlotte’s body and she closed her eyes, grateful for his touch and he lifted the boy up and off of her. He stood, boy cradled in his arms, and looked down at the human shaped indent in the mud.
“You can come out.”
The mud shifted but Charlotte didn’t appear.
“I.. I’ll meet you back at the van.”
The tone in her voice told Angel all he needed to know, and without another word, Angel took the boy and began the trek back to meeting spot.
When Angel had moved a distance away, Charlotte finally pulled herself to her feet and wrapped her arms around herself, and felt the sludge slide down her back, her blonde hair nearly a fully dyed shit-brown, and shivered in the growing cold. Taking slow deep breaths, Charlotte pulled at her demon powers and her body began to sizzle, steam rising up off her body, both warming her and drying her. She was still so dirty but the chill in her bones had gone. The few moments alone allowed her to regain her composure, and with a crack of her neck, she turned and took off at a full run, and headed back to the van.

BC students - I'm looking for some advice, please. My goal is to get into UBC's Bachelor of Science Major in Computer Science program. I have been out of HS for 9 years, I want to change paths in life and become a software developer. Unfortunately, I wasn't the best science student and did not take pre-cal, only foundations 11 math (A) or any grade 12 level science classes. I got an 82 (B) in Chem 11 but I do not remember most of it.
To get into the program I need to excel at either bio, chem or physics 12 and pre cal 12.
I am willing to spend every night this summer learning precal and re-learning chem 11 if needed.
My question is, would it be quickecheaper to do adult upgrading (ok college, VCC or EBUS academy)
OR
Start university at TRU bachelor of science program / CapU associates or science program, crush it for a year (or two), and then transfer into UBC?
Is paying the uni equivalent of these HS courses worth the credit, or should I get them for free through community college and continue working full-time until they are complete?
I appreciate the help fellow students this is a tough one for me!

Hey, today I adopted 2 beautiful siblings,a boy we named Tsukki and a girl we named Nana. I'm a student (19 M) and I live with my mom (39), we've always wanted a cat, and now that we've moved to a new place seemed like the right time. There is a caviat however, we already have a queen at our house, a gorgeous 10 year old dog, she's the sweetest and has always been very gentle with babies, but we knew from reading that either she or the cat could get stressed if we just introduced eachother. That was the main reason to get siblings, since all the info recommended them so that they could play with eachother and not bother our now senior dog. They are staying at my room exclusively, when we arrived we let her watch them from the door frame. She's very keen to meet them, they watched her a lot but hissed at her when she tried to come closer.
On the ride home they both stayed at my lap, they were nervous but when we arrived and sat still, they stayed and nap for an hour. To be exact the boy napped for an hour while she stayed awake. It seems that she's very protective of him, while he was napping she groomed him and covered him up with her tiny paw, she's curious but also cautious. While he seems to be a bit more shy than her, he also appears to be more sociable and sweet, however he really follows her, so if she doesn't approach he follows her steps. Watching them this whole day has been really sweet and fascinating.
So I have a couple of questions. Like I said, when we arrived they stayed in my lap for like an hour. But when we put them on the ground to clean my room they started to play with each other and have been less keen to approach me. Still I've played with them, and on occasion the girl comes close and the boy follows her. It's the first day I know, and I'm very happy to just watch them play and rustle but I worry I'm losing a chance to get them to trust me. I've seen that they recommend to give them treats, which type? and are there more things we can do?
About my dog, we've put a blanket from her in the room and allowed her to smell them from the other side of the door. I understand that we should keep them separated but how long?, are there more things to do so they get used to eachothers smell? When we finally let her meet them, should it be one at a time or both so they stay more calm. For moments when he hides in a place she gets a bit nervous, so they seem to be very bonded.
Lastly are there any tips for first time owners? All the videos I find seem to be for only one kitten, not so many on taking care of 2 as much as just videos saying, get 2 instead!!. The shelter couldn't keep them for long so we've kinda rush the process and haven't catified the house much, any suggestions are welcomed. Sorry for the long post but it's our first time and we've been looking forward to adopting babies for so long so we want to make it right
Kittens are so cute! Just as I was writing this Nana climbed to my bed and laid on my nap again and started purring!!!, she allowed me to pet her and even tried to climb me. Right now she's sleeping in my desktop while Tsukki is with me on bed playing with my legs, they are so precious.

A lot of context is required here.
Me and my girlfriend are from a third world patriarchal country where certain areas are still unsafe for women to go outside in. She studies in a college far away from home where living inside campus is safe but INSANELY expensive so she has chosen to stay in an area just outside campus which unfortunately also happens to be the local prostitution area. She can't go outside campus alone at night, or even during the day, without someone else tagging along.
That someone would ideally be me if it weren't for the LDR nature of our relationship. We live 2000 kilometres away from each other, give or take. When she made the shift from living on campus to living outside campus, I was able to recently move in with her during her holidays but that option wasn't available before during her on-campus stay.
This is where her bestfriend comes in that she made during first year in college. It was a guy much to my dislike but I didn't say anything since she studies in a male-dominated field of study. They quickly became close and now that she had someone to go outside with she could finally travel and stuff and enjoy her college life.
I was kinda jealous that it's some other guy making novel experiences with my girlfriend but I'd said whatever. I trust her 100% and who knows maybe the guy is decent.
I wasn't wrong about her but I was definitely wrong about him.
Before the big reveal, he did several things that pissed me right off like temporarily tattooing his name on her hand with henna, joking about how his friends would beat me up if they saw us going around in public, and they slept in the same bed together in an emergency when she couldn't find lodging elsewhere. She reprimanded him for the first two events and we had huge fights over them.
I told my girlfriend that considering the time and effort he puts in you there is a very big chance that he has feelings for you. I was right.
Just a few months ago he confessed to her that he has feelings for her and if I come live with my girlfriend outside campus he'll move away somewhere else (since he lives in the same building).
I told her then and there to break off all contact with him and find someone else to be best friends with. She agreed to it on that day but by the next day lost her shit telling me several reasons why she can't go NC on his ass -
•He has helped her a lot with academics and courses.
•He's a core part of her extended friend group and her main friend group, if she goes NC with him the friend group will fall apart.
•He's the reason she can travel around outside when I'm not around without having to worry about creeps, catcallers, predators... Just men in general.
•Their friendship is purely transactional. He helps her out and she provides care and listens to him vent (which I suspect is the reason he fell for her in the first place).
•She's gonna start ignoring him more and more, which hasn't happened.
I said fine, thinking I'm gonna move in soon so it won't matter anyway. But I was checking out her IG chats this morning out of curiosity and noticed he sent her a reel where he indirectly is referring to my girlfriend as 'his babygirl'. I know it can have an innocent meaning but I'm 100% sure he didn't mean it that way.
I immediately texted one of my good female friends with "babygirl" as well, someone who I've intentionally broken contact with because my girlfriend didn't like me talking to her or talking about her despite she being one of my closest friends in college.
But I know that's just an impractical action resulting from vengeance so I'm seeking a practical solution and ask WISBTAH if at this point if I force my girlfriend to break all contact with this friend.
P.S. - Sorry for the long post.

This is the first time I write here. First of all, I don't speak English (but I'm learning), so everything I'll tell you is translated from a page, so I hope the translation doesn't change too much (sorry if it does).
I graduated in early March, and while waiting to find out if I was accepted to university or not, I killed time on the internet, or reading something. One day in April, I saw the statuses of my friends, including that of my friend (now ex-friend) Elena, where she uploaded a photo at the beach, which got me thinking that I would also like to go out to the beach or some other place, because until that moment I hadn't gone anywhere.
Days later, my mom woke me up early asking if I wanted to accompany her to the beach, to which I agreed, and while we were on the way, I sent a message to Elena, telling her that I had seen her statuses and that it made me sad because I also wanted to go out, and now I was going to do it, as if I had manifested it. I thought she would laugh, because that's why I sent her the message. She saw the message, but didn't reply, and I didn't pay much attention to it, why should I?
Months went by without us talking, I didn't pay much attention either, because I'm not someone who spends all day sending messages to my friends. But recently was Elena's birthday, and I didn't find out until she posted photos of her small gathering with our group of friends.
That took me by surprise, and to be honest, it made me very sad.
I asked my friend who went to the party about Elena's birthday, and he asked me why I didn't go, and I replied that I wasn't invited. I asked if he knew anything, and he said no.
He told me to ask her why she didn't invite me.
I sent a message to Elena wishing her a happy birthday, thinking that when she read it she would say something about why she didn't invite me, but instead she just replied thanking me for my congratulations.
My friend insisted that I should ask her, but to be honest, I felt embarrassed to ask her because I thought she would see me as resentful, so instead I downloaded a meme and edited it as an indirect message and put it in my status for Elena to see (all as a joke), in fact, I was laughing along with my friend about it.
I was sad because I didn't understand why she didn't invite me, not so much because I didn't go to her birthday, I'm not resentful about that, what made me sad is that we were supposed to be friends and she didn't consider me. I spent a long time wondering what I had done wrong for her to be angry with me, but nothing came to mind.
The whole night passed and she never replied.
I begged my friend to ask her, but he said I had to do it, but I still felt embarrassed to write to her, so I downloaded more memes, edited them, and put them in my status (they didn't have her name, just things like what represents me in the background and the others representing those who have fun. I didn't see anything wrong with it, they were just that, memes of what I found funny about my situation).
After a while, before my first class started, she replied to me.
She said she didn't invite me because she didn't like what I had written to her last time. I asked her confused about what thing, and she replied about how I had overlooked many things, and that she tried to be a good friend and that she hadn't even treated me badly. I asked her again about which message, and she replied with the message I had sent her about how I also wanted to go to the beach.
I was shocked.
She wrote to me that she didn't like that message, that even though it wasn't her way of being, she behaved like that because of how I had behaved with her, that she was going to invite me to the party but she had discussed it with other people and they also didn't like my attitude.
I was confused, I replied saying that in the message I meant that I also wanted to go out for a walk because I hadn't done it, and that I had no intention of offending her.
She replied saying that my message was out of place and that along with other things that had happened, that's what had made her angry.
She brought up a problem we had in the past to which I had already apologized and never did anything to make her feel bad again.
The problem was this:
Years ago I had a friend, let's call him Alex, he and I became friends in my second year of school through a mutual friend (now ex-friend). Elena came in when we were in virtual classes, and we became friends when we all returned to face-to-face classes.
It was by chance that we started talking because it turned out that Alex and Elena were dating. Great, I didn't see anything wrong with that.
But as time went by, she started having a lot of problems with Alex, and she always vented to me.
It got to the point where I could never say something that made me happy, or that made me sad because she always changed the conversation and made it about something that made her happy, or sad, which I always listened to.
One day, tired of her never listening to me and of her always making the conversation all about her, I told her that if Alex was so bad to her then she should break up with him (I didn't say it impulsively, it was something we had been talking about for a long time, and I didn't tell her to break up with him until she hinted at it first), but Alex found out that I had said that so he ended his friendship with me.
I was very sad because I value my friends a lot.
She took his side and they continued to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Many things happened, that and including my recent breakup of friendship with another friend, which ended up making me angry.
I admit that I wasn't the best friend to her during that time, I was angry, I was indifferent, and because of her attitude of "I didn't do anything wrong" every time the topic came up, I would talk about how she had treated me and her attitude (I didn't start the conversation).
At that time, I couldn't even recognize myself, I was never mean to her, but I was going through depression (I had just ended a very toxic and manipulative friendship, and along with that, other personal problems), so I wasn't very friendly with her, to say the least (I never yelled at her or insulted her, it's not like I humiliated her in public or anything like that, to be honest, the only thing I did was to say that she had been mean to me), why didn't she make an effort to support me when I supported her? Aren't friends supposed to do that?
On Christmas, she invited all the girls from our group of friends, including me, and I realized that I didn't want to be angry with her anymore.
So I asked her for my most sincere forgiveness, which she accepted.
After that, I was kinder and more friendly, as I really am, but the point is that I thought we had solved everything.
I invited her to all the gatherings we had at my house, and we always had fun. Even after our graduation, we kept texting each other.
Everything was fine until the issue with the message about going to the beach.
She got angry and threw everything back at me.
She wrote to me that she thought I was jealous because Alex was with her, that it seemed like I liked her. To which I made a confused face.
What was she talking about? Nothing of the sort, I just saw her as a friend, let alone being jealous.
She talked about her religion and about God, about forgiveness, and turning the other cheek to those who are mean to us.
She told me all this so that I wouldn't do it again with my friends and so that I would know how to value them.
Damn. I value my friends a lot because I'm someone who has had a lot of bad luck when it comes to making friends, so I value those who have been good to me.
She said she would have liked our friendship to last longer, but unfortunately it couldn't, and she told me to take care of myself and to do well.
I replied that I understood and that I was sorry, that it was never my intention to hurt her. But since she reminded me of what had happened, I reminded her of how much she had hurt me first.
She hurt me a lot, I only responded in a bad way because of how she treated me, and I apologized for that.
To which she replied that this time it wasn't about me, and that what had happened she had already apologized for (not that I remember).
At that moment my class was about to start so I didn't reply quickly, I spent all four hours of classes that day distracted because of what she had told me.
All of that was in the past, our friendship had returned, it never crossed my mind that she was angry about that.
And all because I wrote to her that I would like to go to the beach too. I just wanted her to laugh about it because it was so silly, and she interpreted it so differently, as if I had written an insult between the lines or something like that.
I wrote to my friend (the one I asked about the birthday party that she didn't invite me to) and asked him friend to friend if I had done something wrong, and he replied that he didn't see the point of why she was upset, and that if Elena didn't want to reason with me then I should distance myself.
I apologized for involving him.
I asked another friend (who doesn't know Elena, but I was honest and told him what had happened with her) and he said that there are friendships that are good and others that are bad, and that the people who are bad should be told to go to hell.
So I replied to Elena one last time.
I explained that I didn't want to fight, much less make her feel bad. I didn't understand why she was treating me like this when I thought we had solved everything.
I defended her as much as I could from the people who tried to hurt her, I was always there when she needed me, and I did everything to integrate her into our group of friends.
She always justified her actions with God, and she firmly believed that he would solve all her problems, which made me angry but I never told her, I believe in God, I have the belief that he helps you, but you have to help yourself too.
I wished her a good life full of happiness, but that I didn't want to see her again.
She continued to tell me, throwing in my face why her friendships lasted longer than mine.
She told me it wasn't true that when we talked everything was about her (it was), and she justified herself by saying that when she talked about herself they made her shut up, whereas with me, when I talked about something they never shut me up (I get very excited when I talk so I tend to talk a lot), but that didn't mean I didn't listen when others spoke, because I always paid attention to them.
She emphasized that when past friends hurt her she never stayed stuck, and that you don't die for a friendship (she knew perfectly well what happened with my old friend).
She said she didn't hold a grudge against me and that what I did didn't affect her. She wished me well, and that was it.
After that, I blocked her from everywhere.
I'm still confused.
Did I really have the blame?
She was the one who started it all.
I didn't tell you in more detail what happened between us, but that was a summary of what happened.
She's right about one thing, I'll never understand why all my friendships end badly. My only fault is being too complacent, letting myself be manipulated, and not seeing how bad they were with me until our friendship ended.
I promised myself that I wouldn't let myself be trampled again, so I got defensive when Elena started treating me the way she did.
I had just come out of a friendship that was very bad for me and that literally had me on the verge of death. For the first time I tried to defend myself, all this happened.
I was depressed for months, asking myself if I was to blame for why the people I called "best friend" ended up hurting me worse and worse.
And even though Elena wasn't someone I would consider my best friend, she was someone I loved and appreciated a lot, she hurt me a lot when she put me aside. I faithfully believed that we had solved our problems, why is she coming at me with this now?
Really. Am I the bad one?

I’m just now realizing how messed up my family is, I keep remembering memories. I didn’t realize how disgusting he was till recently. I’m only 18, he still does these things to me. He will guilt trip me into hanging out with him alone and then say I’m a narcissist because I want to just be alone. I can’t really say “it’s because you’re a creep” I would be putting myself in danger. He only likes seeing me, not my brothers. It’s all making sense now.

• he would constantly tell me sex jokes when I was alone with him then start smirking while saying “you don’t get it yet”
• scare me all the time, warning me about how sex slaves exist and that I’m a perfect target for it
• talk to me about how sexy women are and tell me his desires
• when we would be in public, he would point out random women he liked and would make me clear (it was embarrassing)
• always had to bring up anything sexual in a conversation no matter what it was
• sometimes would call me names like baby then act like he didn’t mean to say it but he would be smiling
• tell me how attractive I am but In weird ways
• one time we went to an Asian market and he wouldn’t stop talking about how “hot” all the women are
• when he would hug me he would say “you never like hugs” yeah I wonder why
• constantly asking me what my sexuality was and if I even liked men. Then act disappointed/mad when I would try to leave the conversation

Is there anything I can do about this now? I don’t have any proof but I’m obviously not hallucinating this, he constantly tries to be around kids at church and get closer to families still. it’s only with younger daughters too. even when nobody asked for his help he would still try to involve himself. I remember being church friends with this girl with autism and her family was struggling to make ends meet. My grandpa would help them, but he would act rude to them when the daughter was not around like they were stupid. He is a horrible man. He genuinely believes he is one of the nicest people to exist and constantly brags about everything he has done.

Hello Stuart. What is the difference between a general manager and a community manager? Do you make the updates for the game? Also when will customer support for clash of clans be improved? People have been complaining about customer support and how hard it is to actually get to a human to help them with their problem	My role as General Manager is to make sure we have the right team to take care of everything that goes into making and running Clash, and making sure the team has everything they need to do their best work in all of their individual fields. Our Community managers are focused on being the bridge between our team and you players. Making sure we hear your thoughts on what we're doing, as well as making sure you hear what we're up to. Whether that's through our own channels directly or by helping our creator community. The only hands work for updates I do today is writing a bunch of the in-game texts still. The funny jokes, those are the ones I write honest, the ones that aren't funny, yeah those are somebody else. 😅	Quality of Life	https://www.reddit.com/ClashOfClans/comments/1d9ggko/comment/l7d392x/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Why does quick army queue fixed troops, instead of building the army I want, discarding and recylcling what's already there ?

Can we perhaps see more QoL changes/editions to clan capital in the future such as co leaders and above being able to see who donated last to a building (to see if there are trolls purposefully putting their gold in expensive stuff/obstacles that the leaders don't want to invest into for now), being able to save army compositions, buttons to help navigate through the districts more efficiently, among other things? 1.5. When capital hall level 11 comes and new buildings and district hall levels being added, where do you think players would get the new buildings? Are we gonna be getting a shop of some kind for those, since having more ruins wouldn't make much sense and could ruin base layouts? 2. With the recent balance changes nerfing a lot of the defenses, players have been complaining that the game is getting too easy and the strategic aspects of the game is being compromised in favor of catering to a more general audience that doesn't have the time to learn complex attack strategies. What do you think about that, and do you think you guys can find other alternatives to create a balance between being strategic gameplay and casual appeal? 3. What year do you think was the greatest for Clash of Clans, and has 2024 been a great year for the game so far? 4. Do you keep any pets, and if so, what is it? 5. What do you think about the mobile gaming scene nowadays, and what factors do you think have made Clash of Clans be able to stand out from its competitors? 6. Are there any concepts that you (or the team) really like, but ultimately couldn't make it into the game due to it having fundamental issues that makes it either very difficult to balance, going against the game's inherent designs, or other reasons?	Picking a few to answer We're currently focusing on the Home Village but figuring out how we'll keep on top of Capital QoL and other improvements. 1.5 In the past we've talked about doing some kind of defence swapping mechanic where you could move defenses between districts (similar to swapping defenses in Builder's Base). There'd need to be some kind of restrictions as we do like each district having its own identity and specialities. We had a troop concept based on the Blob, which absorbed things and got stronger and stronger. It was impossible to balance as it was getting stronger whilst the base got weaker.

Thanks Stuart for this AMA. I have a few questions: Will supercell continue to cater towards the casuals? I understand that casuals are the high spenders but back in the days, coc used to be a strategy based game. Let's say you have the capacity to make any changes to the game you want. What would you change and why? I'm sure you play the game. Do you support strategic rushing or maxing every townhall? Why? How exactly are balance changes done? Like based on what data? Can we expect another collab anytime soon?	Clash has and always will be a game for a ton of different people for different playstyles. We'll do our best to keep adding things for different folk and let people customise their own experience. I'd love for Clash players to be able to make their own troops + defenses and come up with their own wild creations. This is a game where y'all make stuff for one another and it'd be great to go even more in that direction. I've always moved up to the next Town Hall when I feel done with the current one. I think that's the best way to play and that's gonna be different for different players. It's a combination of subjective feedback and looking into the use and 3 star rates of different things. Root Rider isn't the troop with the highest win-rate in legends, that's Super Barbarian, but it is used more often. We never want one strategy to be so dominant that you feel you must play that way.

Hello there Stuart, thanks for taking the time to do an AMA, I have several questions, both in and outside the game. I'm an Alliance Admin, can we see changed to the reddit recruitment system? I have spoken with many different large and small families or alliances, we all agree that the Reddit Recruitment System needs changing, some moderators seem to abuse their power and only favour Recruitment posts from Reddit based clans, many alliances and families have been banned from recruiting there without much reasons. Root Riders. They have been a challenge to balance, have you ever considered changing the housing space capacity? I don't understand how Root Riders are 12 housing space less than Electro Titans. Any plans to potentially revert a nerf or two and increase the housing space? That would balance the meta out and see other attacks shift back into the meta. Coming from an Alliance point of view, can we see love for the larger Alliances and Families in the community, currently supporter codes are only for Clash Content Creators and other significant parties like Clash King, but I feel like us Alliances and Families do create strong communities and provide a lot for the community. If the larger communities could be allowed Creator Codes we could create more events and host more giveaways for our members. Long story short, any plans to add larger Communities to the Supporter Code system? Or working with the larger Communities in other unique ways that can be positive both on a small and large scale? What is the Clash Teams plans for Quarter 3 and 4 of the year? Anything big we can keep our eyes out for?	We'll keep an eye on how the Root Rider does after the current balance changes. But housing space adjustment is for sure an option, and it's been something we've done in the past.

will there ever be some reduction in the time/cost of laboratory upgrades, or possibly an opportunity for a 2nd lab upgrade slot outside of just using the goblin builder? lab upgrades tend to take longer for me than anything else. secondly, in town hall 16 i can see an attempt to save space in the base by combining defenses. are there more planss to compress the base further so new defensive buildings can be built without overcrowding being a problem? finally do you think there will be a crimson and black themed town hall because that would be sick	Lab times take a bit longer than buildings because most players don't use every troop/spell/siege so don't worry about finishing those before moving on up to the next Town Hall. We added Research Potions for Raid Medals so players wanting more balance could get there. But we'll keep monitoring player progress to make sure this stays healthy (and there's definitely some Town Halls more unbalanced than others).

With all of the decisions to make at th16 it’s becoming increasingly difficult to come up with a suitable plan in time	We have something coming in the June update that can help you use the scout time more effectively. But we discussed increasing it at the same time and ultimately decided not to. The worry of having too long a scout time is everyone feels they have to use it, and attacking takes longer.

It's pretty much as the title says; what are your ideas of future savantism within the cosmere? I've come up with a couple, specifically with the surges, but I'm open to hearing about your ideas of savantism regarding surges, other allomantic aspects that we haven't seen yet (iron, brass, bendalloy, etc. !), maybe even some from Sel or Nalthis. Suspend your disbelief for a lot of these, especially regarding access to enough investiture/metal to power these near constantly, as well as my lack of specific knowledge about certain real world concepts like gravity.
GRAVITATION:
Relatively self-explanatory, as we know from real world astronauts about the effects of gravity on humans, but what if someone were to use this surge extensively, comparable to a literal astronaut spending days and days in a state of zero gravity. I'd assume they'd have near perfect control of the surge, though at the cost of weakened bone and muscle density? Maybe stormlight would heal their body to prevent this from happening but I find that idea pretty interesting. This could possibly happen to someone who has access to the surge, without stormlight to heal their body?
While extended access to low gravity could weaken the body, what about extended access to extreme gravity? This mainly comes up from reading Invincible (season 2 minor spoilers), and how Rognarrs are stronger due to living on a harsh planet with extreme gravity that increases/compacts their body density and gives them in(vincible)credible strength, enough to kill a viltrumite quite easily. This might not exactly fall under savantism, as this is more self induced rather than a side effect of using the surge for a practical benefit. I find it pretty entertaining to have a dwarf of a man, constantly under crushing gravitational force, all in an effort to make himself super jacked, rather than taking off to the skies. Maybe this could hinder general movement, leading to someone being incredibly strong, but needing to use gravitation in an effort just to move his chiseled, made in the image of Adolnalsium physique around the cosmere.
TRANSPORTATION:
This one is more of a shot in the dark, and way more speculative (with more of an obvious downside at least) than savantism with gravitation. What if someone's mastery of transportation allowed them to constantly shift between the cognitive and physical realm, but leave their connection to both be very limited, to the point that extreme concentration would be needed to perform basic tasks like eating, sleeping, concentration, and just general physical interaction. They could briefly anchor themselves to the physical or cognitive realm, though would be limited to staying for a set period of time, a couple minutes, or seconds? I could see this surge being used by a paranoid, neurotic, and isolated individual who isn't exactly sure what's real and what's not, due to a constant stream of information being processed. I think this concept paired with a mentally unstable and reclusive character who has a general lack of cosmere awareness would be a fun villain of the month type of deal. Maybe they could go on to inspire rumors about a ghost or specter who can phase through objects, just seems like a fun idea in general.
COHESION/TENSION:
While yes, these two surges are different, I feel that my idea of savantism could work with both in some way. Both are surges related to manipulating axial interconnection, being called soft or strong in terms of their ability (from Coppermind). Both surges are resisted by investiture, BUT I think that constant use of these surges could possibly lead to one gaining more control over their own axi to the point that they can use it to phase through certain organic material, or harden and manipulate their skin into sharp carapace blades. The immediate downside is still a bit unclear to me, but I believe that needing a constant access to investiture just to maintain their body's normal rigidity/stability could work? Think Plastic Man mixed with Greed (FMAB) and a little bit of Vision. This one's blends in a little bit with transportation savantism, so you can tell I'm running out of steam here lol.
ANYWHO, tell me your thoughts and other ideas! This is my first post on the subreddit and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Critique, further speculation, and all other messages are welcome!

Like I can barely go on the internet anymore without getting flooded with just and endless sea of pain, self-destructing behavior, races divided, genders divided MY GOD I love all the good boys and girls in my life euqally and unconditonally why can't anyone else seem to do the same!!!
They say that the internet is void of negativity and hate and maybe that's true. So what about the real world? Well from what I can tell at least where I am no one wants to be in the real world anymore! Everyone's on their phones, always. Cannot survive without headphones or some other electronic and just be in the moment. Why do you have to recored the entire f'ing concert on your phone for social media. Can't you be in the moment, with me!?
The boys at my school harassed and objectified the girls and the girls called boys unilaterally rapists. People constantly fighted, cheated, ruined their own health, I felt so much pain watching people with initially good souls have their hearts tainted knowing i couldn't do anything about it without sacraficing my own mental health.
Outside in the city I see people of different races being more divided than ever. It's like in our pursuit of inclusivity, we have become more divided. Everything is divided. It's about the color of your skin, your gender, your "L's" and "icks".
I can't take it anymore. I feel like I don't belong. I'm going to an on-paper prestigious university soon where I fear I will soak in the worst of pure uncontrolled hate from my peers ans professors, not the like-minded, loving people i worked so hard to get to meet rather than those in my school.
I know this is somewhat unhinged and unorganized but if anyone else expierinces what apparently is this common ENFP trait I would love to hear from you!

Success story! I'm getting the hang of this!
Alright guys second successful manifestation here we go!!
This is twice in a day btw.
First one: today in the morning I was really depressed because I wasn't able to figure out how to go about my life and I was feeling a bit lost. I was sitting in Bryant Park in Manhattan and feeling if it's sad about this whole situation. I'm a former student of stoicism and my knee jerk reaction, whenever I get to negative, Is to do whatever it takes to bring my mind to a neutral state of mind. How I do that is, I go into a deep meditative state where I let go of all my problems, myself, my ego. Once there is a blank slate I go ahead and just accept my situation and I calm down.
Instead of doing that, today I decided to take a different approach: after reaching the neutral state I asked myself "what would make you feel good? What situation would make you feel good?" Because my mind was so clear, the answer was super random. "Man I would really feel good if a beautiful woman just smiled at me with the warmest smile." Then I asked myself "what if that happens how would you feel??" I just had the most pleasant feeling right then and there and I dwell in that feeling for like a good 5 minutes.
Moments later I was back to my normal positive self, and I decided to start walking and just walk around New York City. A couple paces later I don't know why I decided to sit down again (I was had started a podcast, had completely forgotten about this whole woman thing).
A few moments later, literally a really pretty woman, In a beautiful sundress sits down with a book in her hand titled "all about love". I look at her and I think to myself huh she's pretty. Then again I forget about the whole thing. Literally out of nowhere a couple pigeons land super close to her and they startle her. She gets all flustered and gets off her chair. And that's when I look at her and out of nowhere she looks straight into my eyes and just gives me the warmest smile ever.
Once again I feel the exact same feeling I felt through before. It was surreal.
After that I just have a really good day and I pretty much walk around Manhattan.
Second manifestation: At this point it's 8:00 p.m. and I'm in lower Manhattan watching the sunset. I don't know why but for a second I feel a little unfulfilled so once again I go into this meditative state, the whole nine yards. "What would make me feel a bit better right now" I go through a list of things: money? nope, sex, nope.
And then I go "what if a really pretty woman who is just perfect for this moment strikes up a conversation with me. She has similar interests as a similar background and we have a really deep conversation and we both enjoy the sunset and maybe we flirt and I get her number."
And this is crazy because this is such a specific manifestation, I've never done specific manifestations they've always been very vague.
Literally 10 minutes later I see a girl who comes and sits a couple yards away from me. She's facing the sunset she's chilling. I don't know why but I have to send a confidence and I just walk up to her and I strike up a conversation with her. (So I moved to Manhattan 3 weeks ago from the Midwest).
Turns out this chick is from Michigan, we end up having a really deep conversation, I'm connecting with her on many levels. I'm studying advertising here she's studying music business: The perfect blend of corporate and creative.
We chill and watch the sunset till 11:00 in the night and then right after that we flirt I ask for her number. And she gives me her number!!!
This has been one of the best days of my life. I am f****** ecstatic right now. I think I have completely figured it out.
Thanks for reading guys let me know your thoughts in the comment section.

My friend and I both had two LR sections, on two separate days (Wed and Fri).
(1) He had: LR, RC, LR*, LG (Wed)
(2) I had: LR*, LG, LR, RC (Fri)
General question: One of our LR* sections were the same. Would one of our LR* sections being the same mean that one was real, or does LSAC ever give the same experimental in a situation like the above (1) and (2)?

A memory or two from your very first days of Skyrim, what’s an experience you’ll never forget? One of many for me was when I had Cicero as my follower, we had just cleared a crypt and as we were sneaking out when I heard him step on a pressure plate. I turned and was greeted with the sight of him dancing and singing with poison arrows shooting just behind him in the middle of a scary crypt. I cried I was laughing so hard.

Recently I(23f) was a part of an internship which contractually ended a few days ago. Currently I’m in the process of getting a new office job while I continue to work my side job. My vaping has brought a little bit of tension in my relationship with my boyfriend(23m) after I bought another vape two days after I said I tossed out my old one. I had been planning to quit but things have been stressful lately from outside sources.
Obviously my boyfriend is not happy that I bought a new one, and neither was I, but for right now it feels necessary, especially given that everyone of my coworkers in my side job vape on the clock, it’s very common in this profession.
So I came up with an idea that would make both of us content in the long term and short term. When I land my new office job, hopefully in this month because I’ve already got an in at this new company, that I would toss my old vape and never buy one again.
By promising to my boyfriend, it’s easier to not break because it gives me incentive not to hurt him, and to prove I can stick to my promises. It also allows me to continue and even lessen my usage during this remaining time.
I just wanted to share my current story in the hopes that it might help someone get an alternative to quitting immediately if they think it is not doable. Set a deadline for yourself, ask someone who is willing to help you out and keep an eye on you. Make a promise to someone you don’t want to hurt, because vaping should not take precedent over the people you love and it’s not something you can hide from them.

So I'm a trophy hunter going for the Plat and obviously I need the "master all abilities" one, but how does this work with NG+? I'm just making sure that all my current abilities and saved ability points will carry over, and that the trophy can be obtained with abilities and points obtained from the two combined playthroughs. So pretty much, should I depart for Origin now, or farm points and depart after mastering everything?
Like I said, probably very dumb, bear with a brother😮‍💨
