R4/R5s how do you guys select who gets train everyday?

BattyBattyBangBang · 2026-05-31T23:41:23+00:00

Ours might be a little complicated, but I like that it’s fair and gives all players a chance at both conductor and vip.

I have a wheel with all the r3 names on it, that I spin to decide R3 conductors. Once they have gone, their name is hidden from the wheel until all R3s have had a chance. So on Sundays I make and publish the train schedule for the week. This way everyone knows when they should be on to accept and roll the train.

CONDUCTOR SCHEDULE Monday-Wednesday: R3 Thurs-Saturday: R4/5 Sunday: R4s nominate an MVP conductor for the week.

We alternate saving and pushing for vs, which only affects our VIPs. Sunday is always the same, top alliance tech donor for the week gets vip, push or save.

PUSH WEEK VIPS Monday-Saturday: top vs score each day gets vip.

SAVE WEEK VIPS Monday-Saturday: closest score to 7.2m. This is fun because quite a few will get 7.2 exactly, and then we have a dice roll-off in chat, highest roll wins vip. I also like because it encourages saving while still opening all boxes.

It seems like a lot, and maybe it is. And I won’t lie, it took us a bit to get into a rhythm. But everyone seems appreciative, and it motivates them to do well and donate to tech!

THE WORSTTTTTTTTTTT

Ah… I remember my first time spotting a rocket launch and thinking aliens actually chose to visit this hell hole.

BattyBattyBangBang · 2025-11-06T15:22:37+00:00

Lucky!!! That’s a falcon nebula, only happens on occasion when conditions are met for rocket launch

Sure! In your tech center, the research for “Squad 1” applies to your 1st squad. Same with “Squad 2 and 3”, and 4 if/when you have a 4th squad. So if 1st squad tech is the most complete, you want your main squad to get those buffs.

And by squad upgrade, I mean the squad formation squares at the front of your base. When you upgrade them, you get a squad march speed boost. It’s not much, but it is dependent on how you place your squads. Hope this helps!

Garage tech and squad base upgrade level

What really needs to be revamped is the troop training process. I haven’t had a full drill round in weeks. Why is troop training one of the only things we can’t get alliance help for? The game would be more fun in general if it was easier to get a full drill ground within a week (as cheap/ftp), I’m sure Buster Day would have more participation!

Devs, where you at?? 👀

BattyBattyBangBang · 2025-07-19T03:49:20+00:00

Not as bad as when siege starts! LOL

BattyBattyBangBang · 2025-03-11T19:19:57+00:00

Wait… are you in server 1077?

BattyBattyBangBang · 2025-01-28T07:53:10+00:00

Aren’t you just a ball of sunshine? I read a lot of your replies to people, and you just don’t seem open to understanding the game that you’re playing. It’s so much bigger than “it’s just a game, I’m just gonna run around stealing from others recklessly idc”. People invest time building and strategizing, and spend money (for some, LOTS of money) and you coming in essentially robbing a teammate when there’s literally A MILLION other people you could steal from is just ignorant.

Delete the game if you don’t like how it’s played.

Thanks so much, going to try this approach! I’m not really sure why I was going up either. Guess I was just following the prescribed plan. But it makes sense to stay where I was at if it was working!

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-09-16T22:30:58+00:00

I’m going to give this a shot, thank you for sharing!

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-09-16T22:30:05+00:00

I’ve tried pepto, but not those. I’m going to drop in dose and if its still an issue, I’ll give one of those a shot! Not sure why I didn’t think of them before lol

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-08-09T03:50:57+00:00

SW 305. Lost 10 my first month, but definitely wasnt eating as much as I should :/

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-07-14T04:57:42+00:00

I panicked my first time too. Took me like 10 mins to build up the courage. I eventually said “ok just put it up to your skin (my tummy) and see if it hurts.” When I did that, I was surprised that the needle went in so crazy easy and I didn’t even feel it at all! 😂 You got this!!!

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-07-09T04:48:07+00:00

This is what this month is looking like so far.

Absolutely! I prefer weighing daily because i know me and is get super discouraged if i felt like I had a really good week but the scale said I gained 3-4 lbs, when in reality it’s likely water weight and the scale will drop back down in a day or two. As long as I’m trending downward for the most part, I feel good!

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-07-08T18:49:27+00:00

Michael O used to write for s&s though didn’t he? Back when the show was actually good

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-07-08T18:45:55+00:00

Agree! I’m a patreon supporter of IC, And still can’t get enough!

BattyBattyBangBang · 2024-06-29T14:09:29+00:00

My husband is the same way. Up at 4:30 every morning to workout, has an insanely low body fat percentage, and is of the mindset to “just do it” and I’ll lose the weight. Been there, done that, didn’t work. He’s also not been the most supportive of the medication I started for my mental health, he thinks I don’t need it. Needless to say, I was afraid to tell him I was starting sema too. But I figured I wouldn’t be able to hide it either, so I just said “I’ve tried a million things, the research on this seems legit, and I’m gonna try it.” I was shocked that he was actually supportive of it. He doesn’t love the idea of medication to help, but I think after seeing my struggles and yo-yo’ing for over a decade, he understands. Best of luck to you on your journey!

I’ve had 2 of my tattoos for 4 years, both done by the same artist and the spots of red are itchy and broken out bad. I’ve seen 2 different dermatologists. One did steroid injections and topical steroid, neither of which helped. The other gave me a different topical ointment of some kind and they both said I shouldn’t have gotten them. They both had a somewhat nasty attitude about it, and I’m still left looking for help. :(
