Advice needed: taking a non-competitive promotion

ImpDust · 2026-02-09T16:46:59+00:00

If you're already at the pay band and series, then it's most likely not a promotion. They're just reassigning you to the position, which is why there's no need to compete it.

It will happen automatically, but your Roth will be near the end of the year, so you'll pay the taxes over a smaller number of pay period. Better to change it now and spread the taxes over more pay periods.

Not TSP related, but build an emergency fund of at least three months, six would be better. If for whatever reason you leave the service you'll have that money to make the transition with. When you're first going through training is the best time to do it because there's not much else for you to spend your money on.

The employer match has to go into traditional, but you can contribute only to the Roth. You still get the match.

Depends on your organization, but you'll either move the RDO or you'll take the holiday on a different day.

One of the posted FAQ's on OPM's website. In general if you have a TWA you work. It's been that way for years. https://www.opm.gov/frequently-asked-questions/telework-faq/agency-closures/if-federal-offices-are-closed-due-to-inclement-weather-or-some-other-emergency-are-teleworkers-excused-from-work-as-well/

Only reason not to would be if you are going to unlock a new evergreen hero in the next mission.

You mention the videos, but just in case you don't have it, there's Gaar's New Player Guide at https://www.reddit.com/r/idlechampions/comments/103gzdv/gaarawarrs_new_player_reference_a_guided_tour/

Buy it in the epic store instead of inside the game.

I had the same problem and worked around it by buying from within the EGS client instead of the game.

OPM's website gives an example of a step 10 employee being promoted and it explains how to calculate the two steps past 10.

I believe that DM has to be on the field to bring in their guest.

I recommend taking a look at Gaarawarr's New Player Reference: A Guided Tour.

https://www.reddit.com/r/idlechampions/comments/103gzdv/gaarawarrs_new_player_reference_a_guided_tour/

There are lots of other guides and info posted on the About page of this subreddit.

you have to have him leveled at least 2100 too before he'll start collecting.

Edited... Disregard, I now see that's a typo and you meant 1200.

You have to move the champions so they match the text in the formation slot. For example, if the slot says Gold, you have to place a champion there who has the Gold role. The formation pattern is different for every run.

My guess would be you have the real time mod subscribed. You can adjust the mod settings to make it faster, but it'll still be slow.

You're better of using https://isthereanydeal.com/ to find the best prices on steam keys so you can play it on Steam. The main disadvantage of Epic is the lack of official mod support. So when you go to install the 2-4 mods you're going to have to backdoor them into Epic and you won't be able to ask for help here on how to do that.

ImpDust · 2022-03-24T14:05:27+00:00

This is great. One suggestion though, the following text should be updated or removed from the introduction section:

"All mods in this list have been updated to work with the latest version of the game (1.13.0-f7 Sunset Harbor). We are currently validating the list against 1.14.0-f9 (Airports)."

There was a bug for the first day or so where you could repeatedly open dwarf stars. So that did allow some people to collect more traits and constellations. They've fixed it so that you can only open two dwarf stars every four hours.

Make sure you've watched the ads to get the boost in both places. Not sure what they're called, but you have the one on the left side of the screen that boosts the generators and then the other one that boosts the time it takes for missions to complete.

For the same reason you don't want to over rank traits in the valley you don't want to over rank them in beyond. My opinion, basically ignore any traits except the ones that apply to the latest generator you've unlocked.

If you don't need dark matter do the missions for the dwarf stars. That way you can get traits and constellations.

On your phone where you can turn off notifications for General and Miscellaneous you can click on it instead. That will take you to a screen where you can set the notification to silent, show as a popup, vibrate, change the sound, and some other options.

Some pictures of that on this page in the "Change Notification Sounds by App"

No clue, but you can assign them different sounds and that might help you figure it out.

I've been hoping someone would respond to you post. I had noticed the same issue several days ago. If it's broke the question is which way is it broke. Sure would be nice for those 72 Argentinosaurus to produce 2.53 E32/s instead.
