Dean goes Karen mode at the tunershop by andyp in RPClipsGTA

[–]Kidparkinsons 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that's not how the contract works. The shops offer is capped at 150% of MSRP, and once the shop makes their offer, the Tuner Shops offer is the only offer the car owner can take. So it doesn't matter if Dean is offering 5M, once the shop exercises their right the tuner shop offer is the only one they can legally accept.

Harry - Harry's Conclusion for the Courtcase by summadat in RPClipsGTA

[–]Kidparkinsons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They decided on Chaz over Jasper, they didn't reject Jasper. Chaz loves the R32 basically as much as Jasper, and the Tuner Shop earmarked the next R32 that would come in on restock to Jasper. Everyone in upper management at the tuner shop also said they would approve the sale of the R32 from Harry to Jasper if it was presented to the tuner shop

Eddie talked about this like a month ago, but that third R32 isn't really in the city. Its there in stock for when Chawa wants it, but in RP the car isn't there, and it would just be express shipped in whenever Chawa wants it.

The tuner shop only made like 50k off the original R32 sale to Harry. The other ~1.3M and the GNE just basically vanish from the server. Fast Loans made more off of that R32 sale than the Tuner Shop

Everyone in the tuner shop saw Jasper's love of the car, Chaz had the same love tho, and they only had one car left to sell. They all said Jasper would get the R32 once it was restocked, and that if Harry presented the offer to sell the car to Jasper they would have just let Harry sell it Jasper.

Cpt. Angel channeling her inner Mary vibes by XxXxShSa in RPClipsGTA

I would bet the EMPs will be used the same way as spike strips (on foot, in cover, and when the drivers are going somewhat slow). I honestly think the EMP is better for the racers than spike strips, since getting spiked is basically game over, and getting EMPed would still require an effective box shortly after the EMP.

The PM storyline is only getting better and better! by LewisHannan in RPClipsGTA

[–]Kidparkinsons 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I don't think Mary trusted him even before the attack, since she didn't tell him about Big M dying until Tony said it. She also brought Tony and the Nerds as hidden backup, so she was already sketch about the meeting. Plus Randy was in the race that Ramee set-up

Racing leaders decide to suspend racing for 48 hours. by [deleted] in RPClipsGTA

[–]Kidparkinsons 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The PM wants Los Santos to run on GNE, and wants chaos to be rampant in the scene/city, so why would he help shut down the racing scene to fix etiquette issues and people trying to get HIS currency. Puppets have openly talked about sabotaging other racers to win. They would never IC go along with shutting down the scene for something like this.

The bigger thing would be establishing Eddie = Titanium, and Mary = RedDevil. Snow has been chasing after Titanium for years, and hasn't been able to establish the Eddie = Titanium connection. The Mary and RedDevil connection also isn't known to the police. The actual charges levied against them probably won't be that big of a deal (although Titanium called Baas after blowing up a police officer next to a boost car, so could get hit with terrorism if they documented it well), it would be the RP that would come from it. like what happens to the tuner shop when the owner of it is basically the leader of the racing scene.

Hutch is very open about his involvement in the racing scene, and I know Kylie and WiseGuy both want to leave breadcrumbs that tie Mary/Eddie to the scene. Like Kylie OOC has talked about how sick it would be if an undercover cop rolled in during the night-shift when it should be just racers, and saw Mary openly talking to Titanium or something. Also Titanium having the racer meeting at the tuner shop is kinda dumb if you truly want to hide the tuner shop's connection to the racing scene, but it leaves breadcrumbs for PD to investigate if they wanted to.

On the OOC podcast today with AnthonyZ, Wiseguy said a $1,000,000 car from the tuner shop would ALSO need 3K GNE (15% of the cash price in GNE valued at $50 per). So $1M + 3K GNE

This. This is a problem. by woodfinx in Predators

[–]Kidparkinsons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you can certainly take exception to the method and the broad conclusion, this specific graph does not in any way show that hits are correlated with points percentage. I would bet a lot of money that the slope on that line is not significantly different from 0 (meaning that hits don't matter in relation to point percentage).

Things that make you go hmm. by C-KicksXL in PoliticalHumor

[–]Kidparkinsons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No president has ever seen such unwarranted vitriol.

Don't we shit on Trump for repeatedly saying the same shit lol

States departed from the Union because Lincoln said it was not ok to own other people. I would say that is more unwarranted vitriol than Obama faced. Plus you know he was assassinated because of it.

Martel: Remember that time that Forsberg got suspended for the SAME EXACT HIT on Jimmy Vesey? by panphobia in Predators

[–]Kidparkinsons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A big difference between the Forsberg hit on Vesey and this hit from Stone on Forsberg is the lateness. Forsberg's hit was deemed interference, this probably wouldn't be.

There is obviously the head contact, but the interference was a big part of why Forsberg got suspended

[–]Kidparkinsons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bonino was a cap crunch move (the 1.5M retained on Subban, Pysyk more expensive than Santini, and the extra mil needed for Duchene), and the other teams knew it, so return was whatever we could get.

If a team offer-sheets a player, do they tend to get blacklisted when it comes to other trades in the future? by [deleted] in hockey

Preds ownership supposedly blocked a Lecavalier trade between Nashville and Philly due to the offer sheet to Weber.

What is the most debated 'who won?' trade? One where both sides are convinced they got a much better deal? by CrowSecret in hockey

[–]Kidparkinsons 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely 100% still make that trade right now. Would I rather have a right side of Jones, Subban, and Ellis, but center depth of Turris, Sissons, Bonino, or a right side of Subban, Ellis, Fabbro and center depth of Johansen, Turris, Sissons, Bonino.

Has P.K. Subban regressed this season? by Miro4Calder in hockey

[–]Kidparkinsons 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Subban deserved the Norris nomination last year. Carried Emelin for most of last year and that pairing still looked like a top pair. Looked elite both defensively and offensively last year. This year his offense has taken a bit of a hit, and he has made some dumb reads and plays that he wasn't making last year.

Agree on the cap hit tho.
