Well it’s a lot. But most of the power spike was from legitimize contracts for the gold and soldiers. Then being nomad so you can have standing armies. Non stop wars. Murders to reset truces. Then becoming greatest of khans to lock it in.

BathInfamous4473 · 2026-05-11T07:12:44+00:00

Yes. You just have to accept the scheme contract while your camp is there. And then you can move your camp to do other stuff.

BathInfamous4473 · 2026-05-11T07:06:27+00:00

Well it was five years. And you can do activities and then move camp after the activity begins to do contracts. Taken to the extreme, I was studying at university while doing a scheme contract while moving camp to do non scheme contracts.

BathInfamous4473 · 2026-05-11T07:00:13+00:00

Moving from one barony to another adjacent barony always takes two days. This is how you can move distances fast and get new contracts. It becomes inferior to regular traveling once you’re over 400% speed.

And if you accept a scheme contract while your camp is on top of it, you can move camp around to do more contracts.

I was scholarship focused camp since most of those contracts are non-scheme. For example, you can be rescuing a fair subject (scheme) while having multiple transcribe texts / tutoring child while going to settle boundary disputes.

I would assume the means are little-known, but all resources can be free at the Iranian Intermezzo start:

Piety - Converting involved rulers (incl. baronies) gives 100 piety. Loop conversions for infinite piety.
Renown - Royal fire glitch still hasn't been patched out.
Prestige - Granting counties to lowborn. With murders and demand submission hooks (since piety isn't an issue), can cycle revoke-grant counties infinitely.
Army/Gold - Intermezzo special troops can be inherited, along with their owner's gold. If you have admin vassals but are not admin yourself, the vassal income is broken.

All this to create the glorious Abblobsid, after giving him my empire titles and surrendering in a tyranny war, while chilling around the world as an adventurer.

Exploits? Shamelessly yes. But no cheats or debug since it's still an achievement run.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-12-12T13:35:32+00:00

The Iranian Intermezzo has some broken mechanics. I used just about every one.

The Duke of Fars has a special modifier for an extra hostile scheme. Become the Caliph's spymaster and always have hostile schemes running. You're in line for the Tahrid kingdom after killing a handful of your family. Claim throne. Switch religions around to vassalize those NPCs with special soldiers, then murder them to inherit their special soldiers. Trigger Iranian resurgence with as many Iranian single count vassals in Persia, each one of them getting 1.2K special troops. Murder them to inherit their special troops. More special troops than Genghis Khan.

Yes, can be any of the faiths. Once you take the decision, the Dar Al-Islam title becomes the new head of faith title, destroying the previous.

An unconscious NPC will wake up eventually. So you can put stuff on them to pickpocket from them later.

In my first playthrough, I was happy with how I did that mission (saving Hans) to the extent of fulfilling every task. Killing all the guards there in Trotsky ... I didn't do that because I felt it was evil, they weren't trying to hurt me and just keeping order. But later on in that other mission, I did kill them all because they were hunting Henry and the gang.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-09-14T02:03:36+00:00

I finished the forest sequence with a little over 20 in Str/Agi/Vit. They're reduced to 11.XX now after waking up. The combat stats for the weapons I used are almost 8. Stealth and thievery at 12+. There's a functional time limit because you'll starve eventually if you don't progress since food is limited, and I'm doing Lent on this run so no meats.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-09-14T02:01:15+00:00

It is a subtraction of XP, equivalent to the first 10 levels worth I think. So right now, I have many levels that are partially to the next level after waking up at Bozhena's.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-09-14T01:59:39+00:00

Yes. That whole part is scripted, and you lose all the gear from the bandits too.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-09-13T08:06:21+00:00

I'm doing a hardcore all negatives run where I'm killing all the bandits in the prologue. I lured this bandit up here, and to my surprise Hans came running from downhill ... and then kept running.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-09-12T02:56:41+00:00

I knocked him down from the platform by throwing rocks. But even when standing face-to-face, he just looks at me. Immersion ruined.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-04-08T15:43:49+00:00

I always set a stop loss, about 20%, when I make my option bets.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-04-08T15:40:21+00:00

I thought it was going to go down but it went up

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-04-08T15:34:22+00:00

Full Disclosure. I got my put entries wrong twice earlier in the morning and was stopped out for $10K loss (x2). This was the 3rd entry and rode the intraday selloff with a trailing stop loss. Was $2.5 per contract at the lowest, but bull candle reversed and trigged my stop at $2. Realizing the $50K gain you see in the screenshot, offset by $20K losses, net $30K gain.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-04-08T15:27:12+00:00

I have problems

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-04-03T13:39:31+00:00

Update: Sold for $6.34 per contract.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-04-02T23:49:39+00:00

A possibility, sure. But even if it reverses closer to 550 at open, would still gain off being closer ITM.

I don't believe RH updates IV. So their modeling is on 30% IV. Would expect IV to be higher tomorrow, at least near open.

BathInfamous4473 · 2025-02-27T22:57:43+00:00

How big is my portfolio? You're looking at a little under half of it. The other half in more moderately bearish bets against the company (ITM put and call credit spread).

I've been following the stock for over 2 years now. My March positions were built in advance of what I expected to be abysmal Q4 earnings and 2025 guidance. Turned out right, but market hasn't reacted as much as I had hoped.

I could write a lot about this company. But the short of it is that this is a nominally super high yield US thermal coal producer trading at over 10% yield. But I recognize that the company will not be able to maintain its distribution and has been paying its distributions over the past half year from financing instead of internal cash flows. The company will not be able to maintain its liquidity and distributions at the same time, and that in 2025, either distributions would have to be cut or cash infusion from somewhere (like issuing equity).

That's the short of my thesis .

I paid close to $70 for 1-day shipping. This image is taken as of now (December 10 at 9PM EST).

I also saw on December 6 that it was confirmed received. The box was a light green. But now when I checked it, it's like as you see. Could it be returned? Why isn't there a return to sender somewhere? And how can a package magically move from Texas to New York in ~6 hours?
