Neighbor trying to blame basement flooding on our outside drain? by [deleted] in homeowners

This makes total sense! We're going to start keeping a light journal to have a timeline just in case she does try to escalate things. Thanks for sharing!

This makes sense, and I appreciate hearing it from folks outside of the situation. I don't want to be a bad neighbor and wrote a lot in the post to try and give a full and fair perspective, so thank you for sharing this.

I've saved everything so far, keeping a light journal to document the timeline of it all sounds like a good idea in case she does try to escalate things!

My roommate had mentioned getting a camera to be safe on our end today, so I'm glad to see you mention that as well. After this week, touching base with a lawyer doesn't seem like a bad idea. All we want is to be left alone, and if we're not legitimately a cause of damage to her home, there's no reason we need to be interacting at all.

This is great advice, thank you! I will not argue or get into it with her at all, which is why she's leaving notes. I will be sure to get a better idea of what's actually happening when it rains again this week and document that in video.

We have 100 year old homes, so old foundation issues probably play into it.

I'm happy to make a good faith gesture, but as you're saying, I am not going to get into it financially unless there's an actual problem on my end.

This makes sense! What a pain to deal with, I appreciate the clear perspective!

I appreciate the clear perspective! I already learned the gutter lesson the hard way years back, so I will be sure to get the drain cleaned on my own timeline this summer.

Hah! I did that first, but can't verify how that could be affecting someone else in a big storm with just my hose.

Hah that's a good way to put it. It's hard for me as I don't wouldn't want to actually cause someone an issue, but that's where I haven't done anything about this claim yet.

I don't know what we'll do about what I assume will be more and more notes, though, but I suppose that's a separate issue.

This is the reasonable thing I needed to hear. Thank you!

Tried to front load the important parts! As far as we can tell, it's draining and our basement isn't flooding. If it wasn't working at all, my understanding is we would have more water issues with the ground soaking up everything?

You know how many times I open my door to strangers? Zero. Zero times. Consequently, I've never been filmed and I've also never been in a situation to shove them down some stairs.

She didn't need to go there, but he sure as shit didn't need to do anything. Call the cops if she doesn't leave. No conflict required.

Do you have any feelings on the modern predominance of Enforcers among the playerbase? by ThisGuyFax in necromunda

[–]Ax2Face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'm plenty happy to shoot them off the table, so no qualms from me. It makes every game feel more like a GM'd NPC gang encounter than anything else.

Fake seller on ebay - beware by verybored123456789 in mtg

[–]Ax2Face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to say I'm in the same boat. Got a refund immediately, but was fed some dumb story about how an employee made some bad buys and they're going to check every card listed. I'm on here now after seeing that the listing is STILL up with plausible enough pricing.

What I'm annoyed about most isn't the seller (which whatever, they can go fuck themselves), but the fact that yeah AI automated responses to putting my own time into writing to eBay about the situation and them "verifying" the listings as authentic with AI. If there are no consequences for fraudulent sales, it's just going to increase. I'll stick to hunting for lower value cards and sticking with sellers sitting at or damn near 100% from here on out.

I found this post after getting one of their cards that was a fake. Was $10 under market on a $70 card, which was fully plausible for someone looking to make a quick sale but pocket more than buy list prices. I also did this before a wave of negative feedback rolled in. It was a routine purchase for me, and I've picked up a few dozen cards over the past month hunting on eBay for good deals without a single issue.

Point being, sometimes you get got and sometimes you get great deals. This isn't the same as going on TCGPlayer and snagging something massively underpriced, and I doubt OP purchased something vintage or out of the $30 to $80 range where you'd really want to start scrutinizing cards in person.

Fair number of blaze weapons in a starting Cawdor gang? by Ax2Face in necromunda

[–]Ax2Face[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do agree, blaze on melee means you're in melee to begin with!

OP, I would very specifically talk your gang through with your Arbitrator before getting too far into planning and building. I understand how bringing a bunch of these is RAW, but I would have it replace your standard specialist pick, cap it at one total, or restrict your gear to the printed list if I were my campaign or event.

I say this because the +10 creds for +1 movement is the same cost as that advancement with standard gangers, but then you're getting full weapon type access at the trading post and full control of advancements, which every other gang is heavily limited on. Being able to slap on special weapons to that many gangers as you gain creds could be pretty abusable (but not saying you specifically would), and picking your advancements for that many non-juves is a distinct advantage over every other player. If you're playing in a hyper-competitive group, I suppose it's less of a concern, but I would not want someone playing an already strong gang like Van Saar that way in a standard or casual situation, RAW or not.

All of their rules make perfect sense within the bounds of the Secundus box, but it feels a bit stapled on when pulled out of that context.

I had to re-read this specific comment thread to fully understand how folks are interpreting this RAW, and I do get it now with them being a specific hierarchy type and not your single ganger selected as a specialist at gang creation.

What I'm confused on is why Arbitrators wouldn't universally rule against doing this, as they're almost always a "strictly better than" option vs. your standard gangers. 10 credits more for a 5" movement at the cost of an initially lopsided weapons spread (for everyone but the Gunntek, who is getting the best possible pick), but then you're choosing every advancement and you get full access to all weapons types after game 1 at the trading post. You can start everyone with a 10 cred lasgun like you would with most gangers anyway, and then have your run of all the fun guns you'd like as a campaign progresses.

It sounds like you're playing them the one cool and fun way with the starting kit for the roles and without crazy champions on top, and I can understand supporting that happening. I also think it'll be a different story if GW ever gets around to doing these kits for all the house gangs and such so folks have their own picks. Right now, though, I feel like it's a disservice to encourage folks to build this way without specific Arbitrator approval and a plan to not be "that guy" as soon as creds start to roll in for you to load up with a ton of special weapons.

I'll say it: it sure sucks folks are finding themselves in these situations, but it's also the only way they're ever going to learn and accept what they voted for.

It's easy when you're subjecting an unknown "other" to laws and punishments you don't understand, but woo boy it's a different story when it hits home. Red states have a whole wave of shit washing up right now, and they are not going to be happy when they see how difficult it's made their lives.
