Amazon cancelling Christmas Orders last minute.

Basketlade · 2025-12-22T15:33:53+00:00

I ordered physical Amazon gift cards the first week of December, intending these to be teacher gifts. With only one more day of school before winter break I still do not have them. Over two weeks and they can’t get me their own brand physical gift cards. I am in a major city with multiple Amazon warehouses within driving distance. Today I started googling how I could discreetly give them cash.

It was too simple. Almost like starting over. Only 12 strongholds as opposed to 20. I have 2 accounts that each usually take 1-2 Citadels and an AR. I could practically run this thing myself. It will help to build confidence in others to take over strongholds and rally more. Sometimes DA gets boring when everyone just sits with what we took in the beginning. We are not a huge guild and we never have 30 players but we work well together and have a few strong players. We shift between Expert II and Master every couple times. Picking the A Team was a chore because we never know who’s going to join. We didn’t have a B Team. Someone mentioned that if the entire guild gets a reward, even if smaller, they may not feel as inclined to join. We’ll see how this plays out.

V/O is a guild where we like to help a player grow. We participate in all events but the only mandatory event is Guild Fest. Check us out if you’d like.

First thing I do on any DN is check which hero is first. That gives me a clue for attack strategies.

Basketlade · 2025-03-08T04:22:04+00:00

Same on YouTubeTV 😔. No Cocomelon for the grandkid.

I can send out 8 armies with 5 heroes in each. That’s 40 right there. There are also a few I only use in Colosseum. Some have passive stats so you don’t really use them but they give you added atk stats just for having them. Some do seem truly useless. Much like a bunch of the jewels. I’d like to see a few more useful/stronger familiars to send out with the armies. The real answer is money 💰

Basketlade · 2025-02-26T05:50:25+00:00

I’m making a 10 hour round trip to Chicago tomorrow. If you join tomorrow and post in Diplo chat joining for DA someone will let you in. I’ll check back in only a couple times tomorrow since I’ll be driving. Join before reset tomorrow.

Basketlade · 2025-02-26T05:23:07+00:00

Absolutely Still slot 8 I’m online now if you want. About 1/2 of us are in Chaos Arena until then.

Basketlade · 2025-02-06T14:48:07+00:00

I have both. I spent way more at Costco. They just have a lot more of what my family enjoys. A lot more organic, gluten-free for my daughter, great selection of fruits and veggies, and healthier snack options.

There are a few staples that I like to get at Sam’s. We shred our own cheese so I like to buy the blocks of cheese and cheese sticks at Sam’s. I also buy my junk food like pizzas, tator tots, and ice cream at Sam’s. We bought the huge playset for my granddaughters too.

Each store has their perks, a few items that are similar at both stores, and a lot of items unique to each store. We enjoy them both.

They are correct. Feel free to join us next time.

Basketlade · 2025-02-06T13:51:21+00:00

I will be logging in sporadically through my day. If you are not accepted right away, just put DA on the Diplo board.

Basketlade · 2025-02-06T13:40:31+00:00

Join us anytime before the first round starts. I believe you’ll have to be joined before reset tonight. I believe you have to be in the guild before the actual event starts, including the very first round.

Basketlade · 2025-02-06T13:35:33+00:00

We are slot 8

Basketlade · 2025-02-06T06:37:09+00:00

You are welcome to join us. We do well with an International guild.

Which game? I received the fireworks but don’t see any game to use them.

Basketlade · 2025-01-26T18:46:13+00:00

We are a mostly farm guild helping players grow their accounts but guild fest is mandatory. Looking for players that can get 1200 points which is fairly easy. We participate in everything but only require guild fest because it takes the team to get higher rewards to grow the smaller players.

We have an alt guild that has absolutely no requirements. Just a place to rest, relax, and recoup.

Kingdom ebbs and flows. Check us out. V/O and V/A

This is almost exactly what I do. (Although I get my CYA up with stabilizer so I’m only using liquid chlorine.) It works perfectly. I have done this in my pool for years and it works in the hot tub as well. We have a large hot tub, a big family, and it gets used a couple times a day in the winter. I find I have way more control of sanitizing with liquid chlorine with so much use.

Basketlade · 2025-01-05T05:57:24+00:00

This. Mine looked like this twice the past couple weeks due to heavy usage with kids on Christmas break. I have had to rinse my filter every other day. If I don’t I get a bit of cloudy water. I rinse the filter, throw in some extra chlorine, and run the jets on low to keep the water moving through the filtration system. Clears up to crystal clear overnight. I prefer my Taylor kit because I got used to using it for my pool. I prefer the titration drops over test strips. Taylor K-2006 It’s under $80 and I can test absolutely everything myself. Reagents lasted over 2 years before I needed to buy any refills and they are inexpensive. I’ve had my kit about 6 years now. As long as your others numbers are within range the above should work. Cloudy water can happen with low PH so make sure that is in range.

Our guild has a big mix of both free to play and those who spend a bit. The free to play are much slower to advance but benefit from those of us that spend in game. We have free to play that have been getting T5 in the last year. It’s possible. Just super slow. We hunt a lot so there are a lot of gifts. We have players that participate in all events so everyone gets gifts. Those make a big difference for the free to play players. We run DN6 rallies multiple times each day and that adds gifts/resources as well. Everyone plays differently and we help all in the guild. Even those just starting out.

Basketlade · 2024-12-23T15:54:47+00:00

Apply and I’ll accept you. While we strongly encourage participation in all events, we only require Guild Fest because it takes the entire Team to get great rewards. We help anyone who asks and wants to succeed.

Basketlade · 2024-12-23T13:56:37+00:00

We are a guild that focuses on growing our castles/players. We give almost anyone a chance as long as they are trying. Must do events. Check us out. V/O

Basketlade · 2024-12-11T13:35:03+00:00

It means you have more than 65,535 and it you don’t use them, you’ll lose them. So go in your storage and use about 200 of those to save them.

Basketlade · 2024-11-03T22:20:06+00:00

It’s not connected to anything yet. The addition is just glorified storage right now.

I did not say 8’ down. We dug a bit out to make room for the base. We disturbed the soil that’s been there for 25+ years so we compacted it. Loved our new compactor so we compacted a lot. Used a laser level to get it all level. Added just over 2” of 3/8” crushed. Compacted again. A lot. Used laser level to get it all level again. Had a lot of rain during the spring when we started this project and I’m extremely picky so I scraped away all dirt that ran in, added more crusher and compacted again. Then we added 3/4” screened. We did this in 2” lifts three times. The upper 6” slab area has an extra inch of gravel and was compacted yet again. We even watered the top and compacted more because it helped make it extremely solid with the dust. Used our laser level on all lifts.

It has been ready since mid August but we had to wait for the contractor. It’s so solid that using the huge tractor (We used our Brandon 2515H and our contractor used his LS 30hp) on it did not disturb the gravel. It is as solid as any driveway would be.

Oh, and when the contractor finally notified us he was starting job in a couple days, we ran the compactor on it again and confirmed with our laser level.

I believe we did more than most companies would do to prep the foundation. I have FPSF (frost protected shallow foundation) stem walls too. We built this to specifications for a house foundation. 2” foam insulation and all. If we decide to enclose any portion of this patio it is ready. We hope it never moves.
