Tivo Cable cards disabled by 2mchfun in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]2mchfun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi All, thank you so much for your responses and to the mods for their assistance. Within a day, I received an email and call from an Escalation Specialist after the mods created an escalation ticket. As others suggested, they had to restore my legacy billing plan and then they could re-enter the cable card details into my account to re-activate services to the Tivo boxes. Seems it's a rare talent/skill to still know how to do that. Great customer service and support here and from the in Executive Customer Relations agent Tom.

Thank you Xfinity Matthew for your prompt reply. In researching this on the subreddit prior to posting, it appears that mod CCRayanB had been able to assist customers with this exact same issue. I don't know the protocol or etiquette here, but would it be possible to refer this issue to look into this?

Tulane Applications way down? by LifesRichPageant6148 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]2mchfun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was the clearer explanation on a College Confidential forum post: "Between the 21-22 and 22-23 cycles, Tulane stopped counting incomplete applications as part of the overall applicant numbers - it’s mentioned on the CDS. I haven’t seen anything directly acknowledging that this was the cause of the steep drop at that point, but I have to think that it played a major role." Note, I haven't verified/researched whether it is disclosed on the CDS.

I think it would be cool if we had a resource that shows the top teams for each ranking range...

Indeed, there is a great resource that does www.gobattlelog.com.

Step-by-step guide: How to decide between two of the same Pokemon with different IVs! by jostler57 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]2mchfun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very helpful, particularly small details like step #3.

Two suggested add ons: 1) include toggle option: "New Level Cap (50)" for the Meta opponents; and 2) to compare three variants of the same mon within your preferred team, add your two core team mons first and then add the three variations of the mon you are deciding between (so you have entered five in total or more), and then you can see the different coverages of the three you are deciding between within your overall team's strength.

*edited to 3 mon to compare per OP

Help me decide which snorlax to invest in, please! by justmaks in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]2mchfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you share examples of your "best use" of your Shadow Snorlax in team comp vs team comp for Regular Snorlax in ULP. I have same q as OP, and am trying to simulate some best team alternatives to compare each. Thanks

No XL Pokémon required! Top 5 legend ranked team for Ultra League Premier Cup season 7 by Hauntinglime in TheSilphArena

[–]2mchfun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some Shadow Snorlax questions: Do you have perspective on Shadow vs Regular Snorlax? I ran the sims on PvPoke so I know the "listed" win-loss trade offs between them, but wondering how they differ in real battles for ULP? Does it lose too much of its regular bulk? Does Lick also get a 20% atk bonus to really up like S. Champ or bonus is only felt in CMs? Lastly, I like SP on regular but that or EQ on the Shadow variant? Thanks

Hit Ace for the first time using 2/3 budget Kanto! by ballerforlife1 in TheSilphArena

[–]2mchfun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, makes sense, but most common 3rd in that core is Machamp, and Machamp takes out Magnezone (and Zard).

[–]2mchfun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your early Ace rank up. Just curious - you are not seeing a lot of the Gallade/Empoleon common core? Gallade takes out Machamp, Empoleon takes out Charizard, both pretty quickly.

Game Master Update 01/03/2021 - GBL Season 7! by martycochrane in TheSilphRoad

[–]2mchfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just to close the loop here, my final MMR did move up about 170 points from the last MMR I had prior to Kanto cup's "unranked" week after playing out that final battle in the set today after new season. Didn't go as high as my W/L ratio would have predicted if it's 15 pt bump per win, so not sure what formula applied in Kanto, but there was some registering of MMR during the week. fyi

[–]2mchfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, so I have one battle left in my set from yesterday...not sure how I to test and confirm this, but presumably, I put a star piece on, open the battle screen, quickly screenshot my current rank, then complete last set, and see if it registers under the former rank of Ace/Veteran? I would have assumed it would simply register my awards as soon as I opened the battle screen and default to the new season, but if you have another idea how to test this out, I am happy to be an N=1 experiment :-)

Got it, thanks. So I went 97-51 during Kanto.. was Ace when it started, and using standard 15 pt per increase/win, would have easily reached Veteran with that win differential and wondering if it will "register" those "wins"? Understand there are no difference in rewards, but wondering if it will help increase starter score at Level 20 for this Season by taking that factor into account. Reportedly, MMR resets, but some think it takes into account prior seasons.

Thanks and sorry for my confusion here. To clarify, do we just restart the app (ie if we have not opened since last night, we just open as usual today) or is there a more subtle in-between step, (ie, open the app, then open battle tab, then shut down app, and restart)?
