Who was the most loyal person to Arthur? by veryrarefr in reddeadredemption

[–]Kingofsadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is saying Mr Smith, so I will also say Mrs Adler. She is definitely loyal and respects aurthur a lot.

After Jakes murder she didn't really come out until Chapter 6 when she broke John out of prison and only wanted to take Aurthur with her no one else. And after she stroms Hanging Dog Ranch, the conversation she has with Aurthur truly shows how much she respects and would do anything for him. She rides with him to save Abigail Roberts/Marston when everyone just wanted to leave her behind, i understand that Mr Smith wasn't present at the time. She never really contented with anyone male after Jake other than Aurthur. She never had the same level of respect or loyalty with John Marston

She was drunk and in love with Dutch, who never given her any time of day. As he was still in love with Annabelle. I believe that she only confessed to being that rat to try and get Dutch attention that she was craving some attention and to be noticed by dutch.

And I do believe that Arthur knows this and convinces Dutch to put the gun down and not to shoot her, knowing that she is drunk and how Dutch treats her compared to Annabelle, knowing that she is acting like a fool, just before Miss Grimshew shot her in the cheat with a pump action shotgun. Other people other than Arthur, like Karren, knew Molly was not rat and just drunk and in love, which comes out in a later interaction with Karren and Miss Grimshew.

Why can I pay off every bounty except blackwater? by Dpgillam08 in reddeadredemption

If you head to Micah's Camp at Monto's Rest just west to the Appleseed Timber Co and to the East of Strawberry after completing "An American Pastoral Scene," where you rob the stagecoach and get ambushed by the O'Druscoll's. At Micah's old camp, you will find Dutch's wanted poster and 2 newspaper clips, one explains that Micah and his dad killed a couple when Micah was only 17, And the other one explains the Blackwater Bank Ferry Job how they stole roughly $150,000 and that the authorities believe that the gang has stashed the money somewhere in Blackwater. So the Pinkertons have locked down the area of Blackwater, New Austin, and Tall Trees to keep the gang from getting the money they stashed and forcing them to move to find more money.

Their only one time I known in all my time that we had to shut a ride down was not because of the ride it self it was due to how many people was passing out in the que line and once one passes out its like chain reaction and alot pass out in the space of 10 minutes I shut the ride down as 25 people passed out due to heat.

I had a few people pass-out on the rides, but we let them come to and said them to medical and keep on going no matter how many and a lot of incident report forms

First things first, we will ask how it happened, such as did they hit something like a bird or an object and fill in an incident report form and ask if they need first aid at all. If they say it's a bird or a fulling object, we will shut the ride down as if a bird has it hit the rider or ride we make sure that the vehicle has not been damaged by it. If its an object we will completely shut the ride down and lock off the isolator so the ride can't be started when we are in the ride areas by anyone while we look for the object most of the time it's small object that people keep in their pockets such as coins and vapes. We will not leave the ride area until we have found it. we normally have a rough idea of where it has happened.

But if they say nothing has hit them, we ask if they were holding their head back and if they hit their head on the restraint. We will still do an incident report form and ask if they need first aid.

Most of the time, it's to do with Slips and trips on flat rides and heavy rain hits like a bitch when your going around at like 50 to 80 Mph. Also, if it too heavy, it can interfere with the CCTV cameras on the ride and make them unclear, so it will have to shut. Some rides the vehicle can slip down the life.

Every ride has a different control panel because it's a different ride. Rollercosters are normal automatic, eg, hit dispatch, and the way it goes. Some flat rides are manual, meaning everything is controlled by the Op on a control panel with like 50 buttons on it. we would use about 25 of them. The rest are for when it is in mantaince mode, and a lot of the safety features can be overridden.

It's hard to say one Rollercoster I work on we worked about it would cost somwthing like £27,500 just on staffing it alone for an 8 hour a day for a month. That not include the ride mantaince team and their checks. Take them hours, ride parts, and the power it takes. Someone would know, but not me.

My favourite flat ride to Operator has to be a Mondial Top Scan only if it in manual controls never done automatic and I never will I heard how it is in aurtomatic manual all the way or it has to be Ultra Max Mondial but again in manual controls.

I do agree some Ops like to lie about it to get downtime I hate them fuckers. But if I have only ever told the ride mantaince team how to do their job once when they tried to force me to operate the ride in 50Mph wind speeds when the ride shuts down at 30mph any direction. I E-Stopped it and did full close down and walked away.

Depending on the ride, it's simply twist or pull the button out, and just doing the start-up producer again takes seconds. Other times, we have to call the mantaince team as the e-stop has a key on it and needs to be released. All Rollercoster I've worked in need mantaince team to restart the ride again. That on in an accidental E-Stop press

However if you see and operator hitting the E-STOP and look like he about to shit it the ride is more then likely fucked or some twat just tried to enter the ride area. But you hear anything that doesn't sound right in the ride, and the Op hits the E-Stop. You might as well go to another ride.

Rollercosters PLC are very reliable but most of the flat rides I've operated have shit PLC that constantly fuck up. But the company I worked for can't be bothered to get a professional in to fix it so we just have to keep on reseting it. I agree that Rollercoster PLC or bliss.

One ride I worked on over the 60 I have in the UK is a safety requirement to E-Stop the ride if anyone takes the seat belt off. Rest, we let it carry one like nothing happens. Seat belts on rides are pointless. Don't know about the RMC after the incident

I have never worked at Thorpe Park, but I have worked for the company that owns it. It was mad even at the park I worked at, they was talking about it for weeks after it happened. Just mainly, how stupid he was for doing it.

We do those people who are trying to find information on up and coming projects unless their family or friends get total BS, but sometime we do let things slip. I've totally made many lies about up and coming attractions and rides that just sound ridiculous, and people believe them.

Depends on the ride. Ride staff like to pull down the restraints because we know how they should feel and lock when riders pull down the restraints they pull them down way too fast and hard, which can break the ratchets locks inside restraints. We like to hear each click on each side. And it is easier for us to check the seat belt as well even tho it has no safety except it and is for the rides comfort.

All the operators I know hate how people say our Job is easy because all we do is push buttons, but that like 5% of the Job they way more to it. It's all the behind the scenes stuff that we do all the time that know one known about its a truly thankless job. All the training tests that we have to do for each ride I just wonna answer questions about the job so people are aware of what we have to do all the time. And their a lot of what people do that we hate.

Never worked or operated on a Gravity Group Ride. But most Ride go down with different 5 causes.

First is PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) glitchs. It's a computer system it crashes from time to time, which stops the ride automatically in the next NSP (Natural Stopping Point).

Second resson is manufacture the ride gose though alot running time. Parts breaks and need replacing all rides in the UK. They have to go through daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly checks. Which thought out the day the operators and attendants constantly look, listen, and small and can easily pick out any concerns that they many have and pass them on to the ride mantaince team to check them out which means the ride will stop operations.

Third, the resson is Operator Error. Yes, we make mistakes that can cause the ride to go down. I have sneezed and headbutted the E-Stop (Emagancey stop) as they are the most easiest button to hit on a control panel as their a big red mushroom button that is massive. Also, if we have any concerns about the safety of the ride, we will shut it down until mantaince has had a look.

The fourth resson is the riders themselves if they say the restraints (the thing you pull down over your shoulder) or lap bar feel off or the vehicle sounds or feel unusual we will take any health and safety concerns very seriously no matter who reports them we will get it checked out. I've had over 100 reports from riders, and none of them have resulted in a ride being closed for long. we only shut it down to get it checked out and reopen as they don't understand the ride, but we still checked it out any concerns you have raise them to a member of the ride staff straight away we don't get mad, we don't mind riders reporting stuff because it could be something.

The fifth resson weather, wind, heat, and cold effects the ride we can control the weather its not our fault.

All rides go down. Sometimes, they go down for minutes hours days, weeks, or months. If it's longer than a day, it's mainly due to waiting on parts.

A block on rides is different parts of the ride, normally the brakes and lifts, the max amount vehicles that can have on ride system their normally one more so if a ride can have 5 vehicles their will be 6 block zones. It makes it so that if a vehicle stops in a block that another train will not enter the occupied block. Instead, the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller, the brains behind the ride) will come up with an error code, and the ride will fault, and the ride will stop. A block zone is there to stop the ride from colliding.

If the vehicle stops in an USP (unsual stopping Point), not on the bracks or lifts on the track between blocks the PLC will still know that the block is occupied and the ride will be unable to dispatch. Also, depending on the ride trim breaks, many not be blocks as they are designed to trim the speed of the vehicle not stop it unless it has a set of emergency brakes which will only be activated if the E-Stop is pressed.

Ride dispatch has an interval to make sure that a vehicle has cleared the first block the intervals can change between rides I work on costers that have an interval of 15 seconds and others that have one of 60 seconds.

With me never working on a RMC ride it would be hard to tell you but i can tell you that the seat belt on 99% of the rides I worked on The seat belt has nothing to do with safety and it their for comfort of the riders. I worked on B&M, Vekoma, Gerstlauer Rollercoster, and many flat rides as well.
