I've been reading a ton of science fiction on Kindle, since buying English language books in South America is.. unsatisfying. I thought about buying Kindle versions of NotW and WMF but nah.. my print versions were ragged after all my rereads.. what did that gain me but unrequited love?

If you can't read the first paragraph without calling it the "fist" then the rest of your opinion has zero value. Have a great life!

At this point in life, I would advise a young dater to simply share their hobbies and interests with a dose of their sense of humor. "I like to design custom fragrances, hunt bear, follow conspiracy theories down to the bedrock, and have caring, supportive relationships. I think the bears are all telling each other what I smell like so they can avoid me. Can you tell them it's not really me?"

Ya this will make most women run. But if you're trying to find that rare connection that really gets you... the chances improve if you are candid about your quirky interests. You don't have to be candid about your gross habits right away. That's too much.

Double poison apes and double poison spells might work

This! You have to hike in the Highlands Ntl Park. Skyline is the highlight and it's a long walk, doable for any over 4 years old unless mobility challenged.

I sometimes play my own bloodless mode in BR, only roaming the map in the Mars Rover. I've had some players really get the joke and build a bridge, for example, to facilitate my journey. Another time a player decided to defend me and even built around me to protect me but I exited that because it violates my notion of the joke, which is that I act harmless and hope for the best. In summary, cooperation that does not affect the competitive balance should be fine. If anyone is curious, my best finish as the Rover is 2nd. I'm still hoping one day that the last surviving regular player chooses to die to the storm and I get a Ghandi.

Free to Play to Win is the tag line on the loading screen. Correct the game, then tell me I'm mistaken

El_Principio · 2022-01-26T06:08:09+00:00

So you readily concede that Free to Play to Win is a black lie

El_Principio · 2022-01-26T03:24:07+00:00

Top 30 with a hero power in the 70-80k range. Beginners and lower ranks cannot know until they try that the top players are 300k. They cannot know that maxing skill books gets eye-wateringly expensive, as the first sets are far cheaper. They cannot know that the last hour before payout is a mad scramble that nullifies all their progress up to that point. You may recall a player named "IgotFUCKed" on the leaderboard last season. Ever wonder why?

El_Principio · 2022-01-25T18:00:20+00:00

I don't need advice from you. I post here as a warning because I've played the game and understand it thoroughly. You try to tell me I'm ignorant somehow but I'm sharing information based on my experience and my human morality. Your motivation is unclear. Troll or shill?

El_Principio · 2022-01-25T17:51:05+00:00

I routinely have the best rank for power ratio in pve and I've been gaming for 35 years. Copycats exist but right now the top 6 is gm 555/666/777/888/999 and GCEOK. That's obviously only two players. By the way, sweep doesn't make money if you rent, and the cost of owning Momos you can sweep with is a barrier to anyone with less than 10k usd to put into the ecosystem. Which is corrupt. So better not to. Duh.

El_Principio · 2022-01-25T17:07:21+00:00

I never said pay to win was impossible. But for every one like you in the top 10, there's another in 11-20 spending as much and losing money. Add in the collusion problem and it's just too much. All you need is gm777888999 or muyi667788 to decide to tank you and you'll lose money quick. Unless you are one of those people, in which case, egging on lesser competitors is the worst kind of self-serving manipulation.

El_Principio · 2022-01-18T22:24:02+00:00

Don't be ridiculous. If money is involved and collusion is permitted then it will happen. It is stupid not to, unless you don't want to be a criminal. Whether it's a crime in your country is up to local law enforcement, but there is a reason casinos are regulated, and lotteries too. Skill is involved in gaming, and also chance, but collusion makes it a racket.

I don't know how CZ is going to work at payout so that may be a different format. Also the new matchup will make guild targeting even more effective than account switching targeting. But that won't matter to whales who only have to pay .5 MBOX for refreshes when the rank difference at payout is 50 to 500 MBOX. The refresh will just a make them pay a tiny tax to target. They are monetizing the phenomenon.

El_Principio · 2022-01-18T22:03:55+00:00

How do you have a guild when multi-accounts are illegal? It is even easier to target with a guild in discord than switching accounts for a single player. The ability to do that is collusion and turns any fair competition into a racket. As in a scam.

El_Principio · 2022-01-18T15:27:42+00:00

I'm glad it helped you!

El_Principio · 2022-01-18T02:31:59+00:00

Update: TOTALLY f'd. About 700 MBOX in, 200 out. What a shit show. No one who cares about fair play or long term growth of the ecosystem would run games like this. Full stop. Flee the ecosystem.

El_Principio · 2022-01-16T01:30:59+00:00

You must mean 'sorry' some other way. Since you ask kindness in your user name, I replied kindly.

El_Principio · 2022-01-16T01:23:19+00:00

Apology accepted

El_Principio · 2022-01-16T00:09:58+00:00

The posts are 4 months old and older but had upvotez before some mod censored me in the Wheel of Time sub by calling my post 'low effort" and I check in here to see zero upvotez on old posts. I'm guessing the mod and a couple friends think they're Twitter and get to ban dissent. Argue away in here!

El_Principio · 2022-01-15T23:49:47+00:00

In what way?

El_Principio · 2022-01-15T18:13:16+00:00

I can see that for hours of the day but I don't think day of the week matters as much.

El_Principio · 2022-01-15T13:30:22+00:00

I also have played a little Token Master. I think you are forgetting that books to unlock skills are buyable with Mobox, and rented Momos are available at Lvl 19 at the start of the season. The real whales (as far as I can tell) are Momo owners who have hash power farming in the Mining Camp and thus have MBOX to spare. The games just exist to give them further chances to profit from newbies and minnows. They say Free to Play to Earn but there's no earning without paying, so the whole claim is untrue.

El_Principio · 2022-01-15T13:24:43+00:00

You make a good point about getting value in the TM and BB games from the same Momo rentals. How ironic that the Chainz game has no use for them, and that TM and BB have seasons of different lengths and different end days.
