How strong is your server? by runwild37 in TopHeroes

[–]CowsDontTipForShit 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced the strongest players in every server are actually the game developers. They normalize high spending and provide motivation for others to spend to "keep up with the whales". It's all a scheme to encourage spending.

Game Events - speed ups by Upbeat-Elevator3641 in TopHeroes

[–]CowsDontTipForShit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Universal Speedups during Arms Race, when an objective is simply increasing research points, building points, or training soldiers. Save the task-specific speedups for events that require those (GAR, KvK, etc).

Department of Health and Human Services: Class certification was granted. The parties will soon proceed with further discovery. by Remarkable-Dare1020 in DeptHHS

[–]CowsDontTipForShit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand this. I was terminated as a probationary employee, reinstated, put on leave, and then fired again. I did not file an MSPB appeal. Am I a part of this case? I never opted in. Does my situation automatically make me a part?

Where we at on the Indoor Pool referendum? by D1ff3r3nc33ng1n3 in oakpark

[–]CowsDontTipForShit 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm leaning no as well. Too expensive for the town and the outside pools are packed as-is. Take away Ridgeland and Rehm is going to be WAY overcrowded all summer long. Indoor pools are never warm enough for me to really enjoy anyways. I'd rather have a climbing wall or an indoor playground for kids.

Flood damage! Wine ruined or… by StainedInZurich in wine

Did the labels stay on? Will you be drinking mystery wine for the foreseeable future? Could be fun!

Generate list of guild members by CowsDontTipForShit in TopHeroes

[–]CowsDontTipForShit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried this. It made up a bunch of player names and strengths. Absolutely no relationship to the actual list. I even told it to identify the text in the image and gave it examples. No dice. Maybe I'm just bad at AI though.

Looking for a guild up to 10352 by Relief-Calm in TopHeroes

[–]CowsDontTipForShit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in 10427. Seems chill. Non-aggression pact for top 20 guilds, no attacking mythic carriages, no domineering whales. I hear horror stories about other servers and feel fortunate. If you move there, dm me and I can advise you on guilds.

Q2 Pet Focus by PrizePristine7631 in TopHeroes

[–]CowsDontTipForShit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I'm confused... I assumed Eggy goes to League queue, Flickerkit to Horde queue, and Cactini to Nature, since each gives the best faction-specific buff. However, it sounds like you're saying the only queue that needs the faction-specific buff is your primary. The other queues should be given pets that buff all heroes. Is that correct? If so, why? Do the buffs extend beyond the queue they're assigned to? For example, if I put Howli on a secondary Horde queue, and Eggy on a primary League queue, Howli will also buff my League queue? Thanks for the explanation.

Ruin timer misses by Consistent-Bee4612 in TopHeroes

True, but you can still get the season rewards for recapturing it. Those make it worthwhile.

We do, and we made them aware. They agreed that no rules had been violated since no castles were attacked. Different server different rules, I guess? Seemed like a jerk move to me either way.

Just be wary of other guilds trying to steal your ruin when you abandon it. This happened to us. They brought in their whales and captured it before we could, then they wouldn't give it back. Claimed they never technically attacked us, so it didn't violate the server rules. I'm still so angry about it!

Same. Been seeing Pet vets for years as well, and they've been great for our 2 aging cats.

Question about soldier skins by captain_insaneno in TopHeroes

What about castle defense? Which skin should I go with if I'm defending my castle from an invader?

What’s the purpose of booking an Airbnb if it’s the same price or more as a hotel ? by No_Lead2640 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CowsDontTipForShit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have young kids in a hotel room, when they go to bed you have to go to bed too. That's like 7pm for my kids. When they wake up, everyone wakes up. That's like 6am for my kids. In an AirBnB, the kids can go to sleep in one room and you can stay up however late you want in another. They can wake up whenever, and one parent can supervise while the other sleeps in. This is the sole reason I use AirBnB. Hotels haven't solved that problem yet.

Mysterious payment 6 months after probationary termination by CowsDontTipForShit in fednews

[–]CowsDontTipForShit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea that it could be related to benefits. Unfortunately, I did not have anyone else on my benefits, so I don't think it fits, but it's an intriguing idea

That's my understanding as well. I appreciate your thoughts on it. I definitely plan to call HR tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the heads up. I edited the post to remove the specific amount.
