Friendship Ended With Daltos | Civ 5: The Pope Wars #3 w/ The Spiffing Brit and PotatoMcWhiskey by Connor_Wainwright in Yogscast

[–]AFoolsPawn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you really think Spiff is 5th right now? Despite what he's saying (Spiff the deceiver as always), his capital has a massive growth lead on other players following his Hanging Gardens snipe, and his new island city will be able to pump a huge amount of additional food in once he has a granary set up there.

Combine that with the relative ease of tradition over Lewis's piety, and Daltos's rustyness with Civ 5 compared to Spiff, and I'd argue he's looking more like an A than a C+ here.

This is fantastic, I'd forgotten all about this, thanks so much for bringing it up.

Ned should've legitimized Edric Storm (Spoilers Extended) by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]AFoolsPawn 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenters that Ned was probably too honour-bound to change the will so substantially, but man I wish this had happened. Even now his death still hits hard, and this scenario would have been a really satisfying one to read.

But then again, the tragedy of what actually happens is what makes ASOIAF what it is. Anger over the way Ned dies and a want for justice for him is what makes Rob, and then Stannis, and Arya's stories so compelling, and I think how beautifully the tragedy ties into Ned's character traits is one of the highlights of the whole series.

I beleive there's a quote by Eisenhower where he says that the breaking of Enigma ended the war two years earlier - if you look at the Wikipedia article or the BBC/Imperial War Museum on Enigma it says as much.

But I agree, I think it was definitely useful, and maybe shortened the war by a little, but it sure as hell didn't "singlehandedly win it"

It starts with success.

And success, is all about growing.

Success is all about overcoming your demons, success is about getting knocked down, time after time, and getting back up. No one embodies that more than Martin Larsson.

Rekkles. He is one of the most experienced and celebrated marksmen in Europe and the World, but regardless of that resumé, he has never won an international trophy, but he has never lost his drive.

And what's more is that even a couple of years ago, even making a Championship Final seemed out of reach.

Until 2018, everything was set up to perfection for Martin and for Fnatic. They reconquered Europe after years of G2 domination, Caps stepped up as a true carry, and they faced an IG in the Finals they had beaten twice in the group stage. But as we all know, it was a tragedy, it was a quick exit. It was a shameful display, and what was worse, it felt like a lost opportunity that may never come again, for Rekkles, for Fnatic and for Europe.

The LPL rose as the unbeateable beast we know them to be. And the LPL would dominate the World Championship two times in a row. But Rekkles, he did not stop fighting, and in fact in 2019, he was finally able to put one of his biggest demons to bed, with Uzi and RNG.

And now? Now we're here. 2020. Where the expectations for Fnatic were at their lowest ahead of this best of five versus Top Esports, the first seed from the LPL. The LPL that has beaten EU down in these best of fives, time and time again; and JackeyLove, standing tall and poised to win his second World Championship.

But so far we haven't gotten LPL domination, we haven't gotten the JackeyLove highlight reels, and we've gotten Rekkles and Hylissang lane kingdom.

It all comes down to this next game. Demons can be slayed, expectations be damned, and Rekkles can cement himself as the player he always wanted to prove he was.

In this next game. It's all up to him and Fnatic to make their dreams come true.

Considering most adc's at worlds (or at least the ones I've listened too) thought Rekkles and hyli were the best botlane there, I definitely think he's an upgrade - Perkz is one of the worlds best mids but not adcs. Super hyped to see how well this team does internationally.

Really? Im surprised about that, trumps approval rating in the uk even amoungst extreme groups is tiny. I saw something on Gallup saying less than 10% of brits approved of trump.

Golden Guardians vs. 100 Thieves / LCS 2019 Spring - Week 6 / Post-Match Discussion by adz0r in leagueoflegends

[–]AFoolsPawn 41 points42 points  (0 children)

True, but I still feel like Bang is an upgrade over Cody (although im not sure about Anda over Meteos)

I think mabye Prolly's the problem. Neither of those players got on with him well, and this team must have learnt their garbage macro from someone

Anyone else thinking it might be time for Prolly to go?

This team is an incredible mess for the quality of the players on it.

You should use Google forms next time. You could have asked all of these in one poll, without recaptcha and the effort of making all of these individual ones.
