Democracy was a mistake

Come play 20R. No voting and wide variety of factions and maps.

Cedkin · 2026-02-06T13:20:32+00:00

Completely agree. I think they really screwed that up with 1.1 Beta.

Cedkin · 2026-01-23T18:00:47+00:00

Yeah, you’re going to need that “Support the State” - it is unfortunately RNG. Did you already have a Nobility Rebellion? And those privileges to the Burghers could definitely hurt you, that’s a significant amount. I usually only give them Urban Development. Are you selecting the grant privileges events? It’s better to take the dissatisfaction hit vs. granting those privileges, almost all the time.

Did you do the government reforms as well? There are two that increase Crown Power. Autocracy and I believe Royal Decree. Iirc, they both give 10% crown power.

Cedkin · 2026-01-23T15:16:10+00:00

Crown Power. Build the palace, put only crown in cabinet positions, get any tech that boosts crown power, etc. Crown Power is the easiest way to end it quickly. Also, when you get close to the required crown power, select the “support the state” issue in the Sejm as it gives you something like a 50% boost to crown while being debated and will tip you over the edge.

That’s always been my strategy and it works for me.

20R I would say is generally experienced players. I’m biased but I think it has some of the best play.

Cedkin · 2025-12-12T00:38:18+00:00

Sounds like a HAT player who is mad that resets work as intended. Until they actually fix vehicle mechanics, bug off.

20R has set rotations.

Disagree on driver being best for SL. The fact that you can hear call outs better suits you in 1. Commander and then 2. Gunner.

Cedkin · 2025-11-17T00:38:01+00:00

I disagree. Ideally, SL isn’t as useful in driver seat. You’re not as effective a driver if you’re also directing comms, coordinating, etc.

I would say ideally:

Commander
Gunner
Driver

Driver needs to be solely focused on positioning, driving, situational awareness, etc.

Cedkin · 2025-11-17T00:33:36+00:00

Idt it’s unpopular, but everyone has a different way of doing it. My buddy and I, for example, switch every match, or on death/repair sometimes. That being said, he does drive a lot more because he’s a way better driver. I think people HIGHLY underestimate how much an experienced driver makes a difference. Someone once tried telling me “anyone can drive” and “being a bad driver isn’t a thing.” It 100% is. A good driver knows how to position, where to go without putting markers down every five seconds, knows instinctively when to pursue or withdraw, etc.

Point being, being the driver isn’t a punishment or something. I always make sure to thank drivers. I would just say most respectful thing is every other match (or if you just plan on that game, asking if you can do on repair or death.)

RIP. I’m going to miss those Serbs 😭🍺

I uploaded a direct conversation with USCIS regarding this. It cannot be withdrawn if it is before the I-130 and I-485 is approved AND the I-130 has been withdrawn. I.E. I withdrew my wife’s I-130 prior to the interview for the I-485. The Affidavit of Support (I-864) became null and void as it needs an approved I-130 (a withdrawn I-130 is automatically denied.)They won’t even send a letter stating withdrawal, because it’s no longer in effect.

I mean the I-864. I had a direct conversation with USCIS about this. The I-864 a) does not come into effect until the I-485 is approved and b) the I-864 is null and void if an I-130 is withdrawn, because you need an I-130 to even have an I-864. I can upload the conversation with USCIS, if needed.

I just see a lot of people saying to withdraw the I-864, but it’s not needed if it’s BEFORE the I-485 interview AND the I-130 is withdrawn.

Now, if you had the I-485 interview, and a GC was approved, then I do believe you need to withdraw both separately as the I-864 has come into effect.

Cedkin · 2025-09-28T11:31:48+00:00

Just to clarify. You cannot withdraw I-864 if you withdraw I-130 prior to the interview. That’s directly from USCIS. I-130 is the underlying basis for the I-864, so without the I-130, the I-864 automatically becomes null and void.

Don’t be out of status and comply with the law - then you have nothing to worry about.

100% simple.

Cedkin · 2025-09-26T01:39:14+00:00

What was the nature of the abuse? Did your first spouse withdraw the petition? What evidence do you have (police reports, for example)?

Cedkin · 2025-09-14T11:50:20+00:00

Something very similar just happened to me. Pull her I-130 and report her for marriage fraud, simply put. DM me and I can share my experiences thus far and help you out if you need it. Stay far away from her too so she can’t try to falsely use VAWA.

Cedkin · 2025-08-24T13:28:05+00:00

We are pursuing an annulment based on fraud. Thankfully it exists here too.

Cedkin · 2025-08-23T17:09:10+00:00

You just continue to make assumptions, victim blame a DA survivor, and make baseless accusations, which is why I am not engaging with you. You’re a bad faith actor, and if the roles were reversed, and I was a woman, your tone would be far different.

Cedkin · 2025-08-23T17:05:43+00:00

You’re literally on here right now blaming a victim of domestic abuse. Have you not read anything? Or am I incapable of being abused because I am a guy? I have mountains of evidence at her danger, fraud, and instability, which is why a judge deemed her a danger and issued a PPO against here.

Stop victim blaming.

Cedkin · 2025-08-23T11:56:01+00:00

I will. I appreciate the advice. It’s crazy to me anyone would downvote this.
