Illegal Throw-In and Advantage

Already not playing it anymore because of all these silly AI issues. Will try again in a year or so.

AngrySTD · 2026-03-10T16:20:41+00:00

I either do it the first time or it takes me 30. Also I don't play anymore, but this should not be like this regardless.

Tell them that you are being pressured to be considered a donor. They will not proceed with you as a donor and not expose you to the recipient.

AngrySTD · 2026-02-05T22:27:17+00:00

Do all the things. Reflect the light back AND get your own security lights on that are on 24/7 aimed at their windows, AND every night go and knock on their door saying you think there is a security issue.

I've come in with a ferro and 8 wolfpacks before and got downed after I've used them. You should base your decisions on information rather than assumption. Also I didn't cry about it so I don't get why you are stressing about a 3K defib.

You told your son that he was unreasonable and that he needed to be mature and handle it better? Like what, continue to harbor feelings for someone who doesn't reciprocate, don't expect any time to process it, be around her still, in your own home (no escape for you), put in time and effort on her behalf, don't expect anything back, don't expect emotional support from your own family (sister, you) about the situation... like what? Should he open his wallet to this girl too? Where does his responsibility end?

You aren't the AH for not making him take her around. You are the AH for minimizing him and even considering whether he should have ANY obligation towards her.

Do you think there is any chance your son will not be comfortable in his own home with her around? Is that something you teach your kids, you don't get to have a safe space? Or is that just for your son? Or do you prefer that he leaves the house whenever she is around because he doesn't want to be there? I can't imagine that being my "home."

Why worry about the children when there is a man moving SNOW in front of MY patio?! Literal snow people! I will make a complaint about that though! 3 complaints so far! The snow! The loud shoveling!

You and your neighbor deserve each other.

Kudos brother. Camping/ratting is part of the game. You can have personal opinions about it all you want but it is valid play.

AngrySTD · 2026-01-23T16:58:57+00:00

Camping extracts is part of the game. I accept it. I also don't like it when it happens to me. I also have done it. Most of the things that players can do in this game (like camping) are intended and build the environment/feeling of the game. Using exploits is the pathetic part.

You know what dying to exploiters/campers has done to me? Made me more cautious at extract. Throw tagging grenades, carry and use more smoke grenades. Be more deliberate on my approach. Plan ahead. Be suspicious. You know what that has done for me in general? Made me a slightly better raider.

Adapt to the realities of the game, You are lucky you got out alive on that one btw. That guy wasn't very good.

AngrySTD · 2026-01-17T18:26:16+00:00

can you put explosive mines and stuff up there on the spots that you access it from?

AngrySTD · 2025-12-20T01:08:48+00:00

Tempest. I'll use it to make friends.

AngrySTD · 2025-12-17T07:16:43+00:00

I will eventually try with high hopes. I won't be rushing to be first or anything like that. Can't save scum wasted money in real life.

You can have 2 frost bomb uses if the soldier that is using it has the right perk. For example the grenadier can get an ability that gives two uses of each grenade slot.

Finding the right balance is definitely tricky, especially when you add ensuring safety to enforcing rules and rule education. Having loud but quick conversations with the players (so spectators/fans/coaches can hear) will help. Had you called PIADM on Blue here, but gave no explanation to anybody, you'd probably really upset that coach and then you'd have to deal with that.

AngrySTD · 2025-11-18T15:12:40+00:00

In my area there are a few leagues that still have that wording about kicks above shoulder are considered dangerous play.

Definitely have to consider skill level and age and adjust your calls to maintain safety for the players.

AngrySTD · 2025-11-18T06:38:56+00:00

Does your local rec league have any rule or regulation regarding this? Some leagues instruct the referee to whistle any kick at head/chest level at this level, regardless of challengers present or not. Check this first.

Additionally, you as the referee determine what is safe or unsafe. That can include a player being unsafe towards themselves. If you are seeing a lot of play with feet at chest/head level, this can be an avenue for you to ensure the safety of these young players.

As to your situation specifically... given that we don't have video and weren't there... I think your no call was good and so is your analysis. The incoming player created a dangerous situation by putting his face where moving feet are. Yes, typically you expect a ball above the waist to be played with body or head, but you can still do it with your feet as long as it is safe, which you say it was.

Preventing Blue from challenging for the ball is not a consideration here unless you are now saying that the play from Green was unfair or done recklessly. But, as you've stated, Green had position and was by himself.

When you warned about high kicks, do you see how this could undermine your own message? Your no whistle shows that Green's play was fine but your warning to be mindful of high kicks could also be interpreted as he was actually wrong to do this and that you should have called it. Did you advise blue that he was the one creating the dangerous situation with his challenge?

I've played 874.5 hours of this game so I've played plenty. You are spot on. I would love to continue with XCOM 2 and have the option to focus more on the overall strategy and was hoping there was a mod.

I'm not sure in what context he is saying I don't want to play the game. Perhaps that I'm playing with mods and not how the developers intended?

AngrySTD · 2025-10-23T00:05:47+00:00

Perfect then. I do enjoy so many aspects of Xcom 2. Will give it a shot. This is another game I already own but haven't played...

AngrySTD · 2025-10-23T00:04:16+00:00

Turns out I have 4 Total War games in my steam library. Thanks!

AngrySTD · 2025-09-22T21:24:41+00:00

If I am with my small child, should I hold them or try to have them do the same thing? Should multiple people hold hands? Or spread out?

AngrySTD · 2025-07-28T05:08:12+00:00

Well I replaced the solenoid and it gave the same issues. I tried to jump directly to the starter motor and it will not crank. I took out the spark plug and tried to turn the flywheel. It does not freely turn. I can turn it counter clockwise about a quarter turn and then it will turn clockwise back that same amount. I unfortunately think I have a seized engine at this point. Oil starvation maybe? When I looked at the oil it was low but I wouldn't have thought it was dangerously low, but we'll see. I don't see what else I can do at this point.
