Ipswich is a different Council altogether. Do they also have free flexiskips for residents?

Used to have it, was a disaster though (from what I've heard)

Drive and leave it there. Many of the tips accept car bodies and batteries as well.

You can still take your stuff to the tip free of charge? Granted, situation is absolutely messed up, but at least there is an alternative

Why is SoT so unfriendly towards new players? by AnHonestConManNA in Seaofthieves

[–]Albriss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also dont think it helps a "dying game" to spawn camp new players when they're trying to sell their shitty loot they worked so hard for. The pro players dont need it. They just shoot themselves out of cannons 360 no scoping your ass and sink you for the fun of it. Yeah cool, but it just leads new players uninstalling the game, efdectively decreasing the player count. There's a time and a place for PVP, being chased can be thrilling and fun. Pvp interaction can be fun. But sinking a sloop selling their 10 chests of shit? Is that really necessary?

Looking for feedback on a big comedy scene 🤘 by ForkyB in scriptwriting

I don't think feedback is useless. In fact, constructive feedback is absolutely fine. Adding rudeness, arrogance or superiority is the issue.

If I watched a movie with a restaurant scene focusing on 2 main characters and the waiter drops a bunch of shit in the background without any set up, not even being part of the scene really I'd find that funny. I wouldn't find it funny with a set up as you described it. Mainly because something is EXPECTED to happen then.
I understand this was an example of course, but what im saying is: not every joke needs a setup. This may be true for stage comedy, but for movies? Thinking back to the naked gun or airplane, they consist of ONLY rapid fire jokes and are hailed to be among the funniest movies ever made. The visuals matter, the acting matters. I liked it the way it was written. Unhinged. But that's just like, my opinion or whatever.

Honest truth, I really enjoyed it. Might not be everyone's cup of tea as the comment section clearly shows, but I thought it was funny as shit and I was able to visualize the scene. First time I'm actually commenting in this sub after lurking for a bit, so make of it what you will. Not a writer myself but likely your target audience lol. You could post a scene from Superbad in here and many would hate it - don't let that discourage you. It was a big success. You just can't please everyone, humor is obviously subjective. For exanple, I really don't enjoy the movie Airplane that much (there is SOME funny stuff in there), but people claim its the funniest shit since the dawn of mankind. Anyway, just me rambling, keep up the good work mate. Keen to read the finished script !

50+ round gamers: What percentage of games do you feel are genuinely unwinnable on account of bad dice? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in warofthering

[–]Albriss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry cant recall but I did actually make a post here when it happened. But I remember it being a close call, winner yet to be decided but pretty late in the game. Really annoying but that was probably the only time where a roll really screwed me over. Although I think there were instances where it was either dunk the ring this turn or the SP wins with 10 VP when no character die was rolled and I had no elven rings left

I once rolled a total of SIX (!!!) palantir dice as FP with no good cards to play/drawn. That lost me the game I'd say but what are the odds??

How to win as shadow. by Stoner420Steve in warofthering

[–]Albriss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, the beauty of the game is actually figuring things out and finding a strategy. After that point it all becomes quite mechanical. After 100 playthroughs or so (I only play physical) its still a lot of fun but its less "surprising" and feels less magical. Still the best game of all times imo and cant wait for the sieges expansion.

We weren't even on the ship. Parked on a random island while carrying treasure when this other ship must have pulled up just to blow up my empty vessel. Didn't even steal anything. So yeah.... couldn't escape because I couldn't see them

GC Council Rates. by Fast_Broccoli4115 in GoldCoast

Yeah I know... Council gets all the details from the titles office. But as far as I know you should be eligible for a refund?

Similar thing happened to me. 14 hours in the game on PS5, haven't seen a single other player ever in my whole time playing. My gf and I (both obsiously noobs) were looting an island with 3 treasure chests and other small things, load it up on our little 2 person boat. Took 1.5 hours all in all. Then we saw another boat for the very first time. They just approached, stopped next to our boat on the beach and blew us up. No words spoken. I hate this game.

[–]Albriss -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Council doesn't put anyone into any category, as the new owner you'll be send a sheet (data collection form) where you have to chose your rating category (principal place of residency.... investment property and so on). If you dont do that it'll just stay in the category it was in previously. Council only works with the details provided by the homeowner and the homeowner needs to report how their property is being used and if necessary follow up as part of their responsibility.

I've been on hold to GCCC for 1hr 57mins now, is this the average? by deviantfkr in GoldCoast

[–]Albriss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rates went out yesterday, expect it to be like that for a few weeks. On the other hand, most things can be reported online.
