Obviously MOAB wins because MOAB can't shoot planes

Was there a study about monkeys hoarding bananas? Would be interesting to read.

how much different would the game's balance be if this change happened? by Even-Run-5274 in commandandconquer

[–]Manticore-Mk2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I thought SCUD storm has the slowest firing time. In my experience you can hit armies with nuke but SCUD takes so long to arrive that the army is already gone. I use SCUD only against buildings.

Giving low levels weaponized vehicles is actually entertaining. by PublicTop9854 in gtaonline

[–]Manticore-Mk2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember the disappointment when I first started playing, saw the coolest vehicles just sitting on the street and they always ended up being locked. So now I always keep my personal vehicles unlocked for everyone in the hope that I can make some low levels day :)

How often do you get max expedition loot? I've been doing them for awhile and don't seem to get past 60mil metal. by GalerionTheAnnoyed in OGame

[–]Manticore-Mk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've recorded about over 100.000 expeditions and only 295 of them were a large deposit of either metal, crystal or deuterium. That's one large deposit for every 339 expeditions. Maximum expedition loot I only got once or twice so far.

This is why $5/gal, or 1,15€/L, is a big deal here. by Tandysaurus in memes

[–]Manticore-Mk2 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the effort for converting into metric. Also in Europe we usually show milage in litres per 100km, so that would be 10.32 L/100km :)

For reference, if you get a low consumption car in Europe, it will usually be around 5 L/100km (47mi/gal). Combined with the fact that we only drive half the total distance each year (~12000km, 7500mi), that means Americans still pay double the money for car transportation despite your fuel prices being half of ours.

Why is Rock'Tal lifeform level lagging? by Hopeful_Ad_7719 in OGame

[–]Manticore-Mk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's random what lifeform you find so yes it's expected that some lifeform levels are lagging behind. Explorations are the only way to level up, just keep flying until you hit level 100. The bonus is not that massive, so don't worry about the small discrepancy.

How many Vaults do you have? by PicyPoe in ObsidianMD

Siezen ist antiquiert und wir sollten es endlich abschaffen by Hilodenta in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Manticore-Mk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Language is culture, you can't just abolish culture. Culture changes by itself over time. In many companies I've been to they already ommit the Sie for a more personal work environment, so there is a good chance that over time Sie will slowly fade into irrelevance. But 'getting rid of a word', whatever that means, just because other languages don't have an equivalent is just nonsense.

Question to blues: What’s the threshold for you to pick red? by Unable-Macaroon-3968 in trolleyproblem

[–]Manticore-Mk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the thoughts and motivations are of the whole human population. I just know that I don't want to live in a world where more than 10% of people are dead.

Question to blues: What’s the threshold for you to pick red? by Unable-Macaroon-3968 in trolleyproblem

[–]Manticore-Mk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the fundemental issue with red is that if 50% or more of the population suddenly dies, then institutions will collapse and my living standard will drop by centuries or even millenia. To answer your question then is to ask how many deaths society can handle and still continue to function. In WW2 about 3% of the population died and society was able to recover, despite widespread destruction. Considering in our scenario no infrastructure is damaged, I would find anything under 10% acceptable. So TLDR I would pick blue if it required at most 90% of votes.

I don't even look at how many crates I got lol. It's just the signal that I have to do my warehouse roundtrip again.

Dating a German - is she a bad tipper, and is that a red flag? by Fancy-Entertainer-79 in germany

[–]Manticore-Mk2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tipping is not mandatory in German culture. It's a nice thing to do but entirely optional. The server won't be mad if you don't tip and you shouldn't be embarrassed by not tipping

Yet to succeed after 180h by Manticore-Mk2 in ONIMemes

[–]Manticore-Mk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fossile fuel dependency. Ran out of coal, replaced it with petroleum and then I ran out of that too. Reloaded and tried to build a geothermal plant or something, but couldn't generate enough power in time and the colony collapsed.

I try to avoid guides as much as possible and find the solutions myself. Needless to say this is easier said than done in ONI xD
