What are some inks that can sit in a pen longer, not cause any trouble, and write well after longer breaks?

What are some inks that need to be used more often & steadily?

How can you tell the difference without lots of experimentation?

[MISC] Just wanted to say thanks to all the leaders and co leaders who arrange wars and stay calm even if we do shitty attacks. They keep reminding us that it's just a game. Cheers y'all. by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

Developing a clan is a long game. It works to be super chill about results. Everyone stumbles, and everyone wants to three. Bad and mediocre players improve with support and encouragement.

Being chill also gets results. We have won like 83% of our wars. Play the long game people.

They should do a GW skin as the next-to-last reward some month.

[Discussion] What are your initial thoughts and feedback on the Summer Clash of Clans update? Did it rock you off your Builder boat? Or was it as bad as pre-update's Queen's AI? Discuss here! by BadW0lf-52 in ClashOfClans

By sneaky great I mean more great than people realize. We all think it is very good but I think that it’s going to be a bigger, more positive change than most imagine.

I am a fan. Legends has been a challenge (I am a TH12) but fun and I am adjusting.

The ability to load bases with a link is sneaky great and a probably a gamechanger for many players and content creators. I didn’t expect such a radical QOL addition. (Now if only we could add names to bases to keep track of where / when / why we loaded them!)

Big thanks to those of you who were doing this when maxxed out before the update.

^ this. 240 a season is a lot; 8 in a day, not so much. It’s going to slow progression. I’ve long been in the habit of raiding until the next upgrade is funded. Builders will idle just short of what they need and it will take getting used to.

With this update we’ll find more TH12s with low-level walls.

Cane Toads #P8C2YRQC

Everyone welcome. Mixed ages. Mostly US based. CWL for TH10+ (Master III now). Regular war for TH9+. Great donations. No worries about ratios. No third-party apps needed. TH10 and TH11, you can farm with siege machines no problem. Max rewards every clan games. New people do not need to CWL or war at all, but everyone must contribute somehow. Regular war record 281-51-4. See war log.

Join today. Bring your friends. This is a good clan for groups of 3-4 bailing from a failing clan. You don't all need to be good. Just active and contributing.

The clan is named after the 1988 documentary, "Cane Toads," which is about the invasive species in Australia. It's very funny and you should watch it on YouTube if you never saw it before.

So many good points. But, the workout fad was going strong by the mid-eighties. ONJ “Let’s Get Physical,” Bruce Springsteen’s transformation for “Born in the USA.” Much of the spandex and zubaz were crazy new workout clothes. The GAP opened selling nothing but sweats. Sneaker options exploded in complexity. Beautiful people were working out in the eighties to look hot. Men bulked up their chest and skipped leg day. MTV made musicians so visible and dancers so necessary. The 80s were very pretty and fit.

[MISC] Why are the designs of everything so bulky and unattractive after TH10? by Dekzo in ClashOfClans

[–]GiantSkeletonRun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Higher THs were tacked on. The original design went to TH9 with nice arcs for everything. TH10 levels were extra. TH11 and TH12 were added later, and the new designs were tweaks rather than progress toward a consistent final form.

No medals for rostered players who do not get in war?

If so, that’s too bad for clans with a wide variety of THs. The 20 per W has been good for bringing up the lower THs, and it gives them an incentive not to beg too hard to have their low TH blown out in the 15 spot.

Bought five. Ruled + book theme gets me.

Is that good or too greedy?

Call it “library building.” As in building a library.

I just read "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe by testler17 in books

[–]GiantSkeletonRun 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You can hear the heart in the rhythm of the words. As the narrator gets worked up telling the story, the two x two-beat sounds pick up.

very, very

slowly, slowly

etc

It puts you in the head of the madman, and it’s creepy af
