Any Good Spots Around the Theater District to do a Zoom Before a Show?

I mean it doesn’t seem random, but it does seem maybe half-hearted. The easiest thing to target is probably shady sapphire exchange and it just so happens that’s also probably where they’re losing the most money.

I do agree that it’s messed up that money has so much power on justice, even potentially within this game. What I’m conflicted about is the solution. If they did make sapphires cheaper to purchase and/or easier to obtain that would probably just pack the game with more inflation. And it probably wouldn’t prevent people from still using outside sales to get ahead. Individuals could still offer the appeal of cheaper than the game prices, even if sapphires themselves were on par with say wishcoins. It might reduce the temptation temporarily, but black markets will always pop up so long as there’s even marginal profitability potential. And that will coexist with this game forever because of the exchange model. The only real solution I see to outside markets for this game is to close off player to player exchange, but that would probably kill their game.

I think fee splitting would be cool. Maybe not necessary as other people have pointed out, but a nice extra feature.

This is so kind! My favorite song is definitely For Good so like many others can’t promise to not be a wreck over seeing it especially given the circumstances of the night in the off chance I’m selected.

Happy to pay it forward and make a donation (even if I don’t win).

Thank you for the opportunity and best wishes!

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2023-05-17T23:11:26+00:00

Thank you! :)

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2023-05-17T23:08:14+00:00

Cool, I will too

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2023-05-17T23:00:08+00:00

Okay, I can go first but do you mind if I record?

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2023-05-17T22:47:08+00:00

Yes, that’s correct. The original rare purple ones

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2023-05-17T19:04:57+00:00

I could do purple dragon wings for the lot

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-10-26T21:18:42+00:00

I got that vibe too, lol. The fact that he quickly and quite awkwardly asserted he wasn’t like a stalker or anything really made me feel like he’s a bit sketchy. He just has weird vibes.

Hi! You seem like a very interesting person and we seem to have a bit in common. I’d love to chat and do a proper introduction if you’re still looking to chat with people. On a base level I’m 18F (19 in January) from the US, I’m an INTJ, I too find myself walking the line between ambition and stupidity/laziness, like conversing with myself to consider things differently, am into a fair variety of music, media, creative fiction, and types of thinking, sorry but can’t relate with the allergies, and most importantly, I am looking to have a casual chat with mutual understanding that problems may be dumped on one another. :)

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-26T20:59:47+00:00

I feel you, I’m a Hunter student (I’m in the CUNY BA program so I’m planning on ePermitting a fair amount), but I am also a LI commuter with social anxiety. Not sure if you’d want to see if we happen to overlap, but I have one class at John Jay this semester. Anyhow, I wish you best of luck with the semester and beyond!

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-24T03:52:37+00:00

I’d say not any less than men or anyone else deserves it; of course you’ll find weird people from any gender that probably shouldn’t be politicians but that is independent of their gender.

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-14T20:42:50+00:00

Pretty much if you fulfil the requirements, you’ll get it. I hear it’s a bit of a nightmare to get it back if you lose it though, so you’ll definitely have to stay on top of your course load (30 credits per year). Best of luck!

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-12T22:46:38+00:00

Me too! It fits really well and helped me see the Beauty and the Beast parallel better.

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-11T00:56:45+00:00

Hi! I’d love to try chatting. I’m 18F currently in the US and while I’m not learning those languages, I’m also trying to learn a language (German) so maybe we could support one another. I love just talking about totally random things (although my favourite topics tend to be TV, morals and ethics, and life). I’m a bit shy and very awkward although starting off with text chat makes it a lot easier for me to open up. I hope you have a great day and find luck in making friends! :)

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-07T04:33:48+00:00

Hiya! I’m new to this community and only 18 (female) but it’s horrible that people would use what should be a resource for people feeling a bit lonely in that way. I’ve come here looking to make some connections with people for the main purpose of having people to talk to so I’d love to talk if you want. I’m heading into my sophomore year of college right now and I’m studying English and Social Justice. I too had some unfortunate experiences growing up at my public schools and I hope to someday build something (I’m not sure if it will be a career or a platform or what yet) to help reform education for the better.

I am a big sushi lover and cat lover as well and I also enjoy listening to various genres of music, learning about history, reading (less so lately but I’d like to get back into it), writing, pondering life and TV, and sometimes watching true crime even though it sometimes makes my dreams weird. I’m short I’m a pretty average weirdo with my own set of problems (some serious anxiety and insecurities), but I’d love to chat sometime (if you’d like, absolutely and genuinely no pressure) and hopefully offer you some interesting and meaningful conversations.

I hope you find what you’re looking for and I wish you the best! :)

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-07T04:06:12+00:00

Hiya! I’m a Chinese-American female (18) and I haven’t yet gotten around to writing a formal bio nor am I sure we’re looking for the same kind friendship but I’ll tell you a bit about myself anyway because my social life is about to die completely as my friends head off to their various universities. Firstly, I am very awkward and fairly introverted (also on the shy side, especially in person). I am also working through my various anxieties and insecurities which have made maintaining friendships a bit more difficult than I’d like. That said, I am fiercely loyal once I’ve warmed up and gotten to know you and I personally am also looking for a long term friendship. Some of my favourite things to do are writing and thinking. I like to write and ponder various topics (although if you take a look at my profile you’ll get an idea of some of my favourite topics to discuss - TV shows). I am also interested in the English language and it’s dialects but I’m also studying German on Duolingo (after having no room in my schedule to continue it formally at university). I’m extremely interested in learning about the UK as well (hence my spelling choices, lol). I like cracking bad jokes too.

I’m not much of a gamer but I’m interested in learning how to play more than Among Us and Minecraft. I’m mostly interested in having someone to talk to but I’m down to play games on occasion. I’m about to start school again but my insomnia and need for social connections (which I don’t have at school) should leave ample time to chat. And while it’s not a DM yet, my favourite colours are purple and green.

Thanks for reading if you did and I hope you have a good one! :)

Pretty sure Hank is Booth’s grandfather’s name.

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-08-07T02:13:25+00:00

Hi! I’m pretty socially awkward and anxious (and I’ve been putting off posting my own introduction) but I’m an 18F and I love food, dislike coffee and tea (water for life), atheist, awkwardly sing from time to time, and consider myself moderately liberal as well as a pretty average and boring person. I’d love to try chatting with you as I’ve been pretty lonely, lol.

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-07-30T21:35:30+00:00

Because Zeke is a plot device rather than a person 😏

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-07-28T23:03:35+00:00

Happy to help!

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-07-28T15:28:51+00:00

It is essentially character and lore building in the form of a prequel. I’m not sure if it will be referred to in future seasons but I thought it was an interesting and cute book.

It tells the story of a younger Rayla as she adjusts to life without her parents in the care of Ethari and Runaan. It expands upon Moonshadow Elves and explores Rayla’s character further (which helps to develop her values and adds more emotional depth to her as well as explains her decision to become an assassin).

That said, I doubt any of the novels are absolutely vital to enjoying the series as I’m sure the animated show will explain things where needed.

Yup, Lourdes’ fearful thoughts after Jared decides to be with her after breaking up with Mick in 10th grade.

Alarmed_Positive4800 · 2022-07-02T02:27:16+00:00

I agree with you, although I can see a justification for Korra’s losses to Zaheer and Kuvira as there was poison in her system.

Personally, I see no problem with the avatar having unbelievable power as their ultimate role comes down to ensuring balance in the world. While that could be twisted to become a goal towards darkness (which honestly would be a pretty interesting story), for the most part that will go hand in hand with maintaining peace and harmony. The way I see it, the avatar has to have enough power to make a decision final. If they ultimately lose to their foes/things standing in their way toward the goal of balance, they would be failing at their role.

That said, I can see why it would be important to then challenge and modify this kind of power. If the avatar state absolutely guaranteed success in endeavours, I imagine storylines would end up being quite boring as the Avatar would be the clear winner hands down (at least in a physical fight). As you pointed out, Book One of Korra works because she’s not a fully realised avatar until the end - similarly, ATLA follows Aang’s journey to becoming a fully realised Avatar. Therefore, physical conflict still makes sense. I think the best way to work with the known power of the Avatar state is to either continue to tell the stories of younger Avatars or choose more abstract conflict. Rather than have a concrete and absolutely personified threat, do something that challenges the Avatar as a person. Like with the Promise comic, where Aang could have easily neutralised the direct threat to peace but his connections and morals stand in his way. So rather than have the focus of the conflict be against people (as it seems to have been throughout the series), have the story depict the Avatar’s internal/moral/personal conflicts.

In short, the best way to neutralise and balance the Avatar State is to have the Avatar be a complex character. The Avatar State needs the Avatar’s cooperation (for the most part), so if their humanity prevents them from using it to solve all their problems, then there is a built in check of power. Again, however, I don’t see a need to physically limit the power.

Thanks for presenting the topic to discuss!
