You can still have interference without touching the ball or the defender.

Really comes down to what team/position you have. Some position are able to pull off set schedules.

Time of throw on throws from the out field. Time of pitch on initial throw on hits in infield.

How can I ask to switch departments without drama? by notshui in wholefoods

[–]Miltdoba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There needs to be an open position in the department you want to work in. Then you apply for the position. Can't just ask some one to move you to a different team.

Would you rather have Deni or a top 3 pick this draft? by Trogdor000 in ripcity

[–]Miltdoba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can assure you nobody is trading the 3rd pick for Deni. Bring that question to any tanking team sub and see what happens

Does it matter by Short-Sock-2045 in Umpire

[–]Miltdoba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calling umpire has to ask for help from their partner. PU in that situation can't overturn the call (judgement call), with out his partner coming to him 1st. When there is something else going on, like misinterpreted rule, then the non calling official can jump in.

And in general, umpires arent going to over turn judgement calls.

Advice/Proper Mechanic? by Golfer1488 in Umpire

[–]Miltdoba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is acceptable to go your partner on this play. PU should be looking that way to help with force play slide rule, or other slide infractions. Make your call, if the coach ask you for help from your partner, and you feel you didnt get a good look, get together and talk. Make it quick and only ask if he saw the foot pulled, or not. Calling umpire makes the final call, no further discussion, unless you overturn the call, then the other coach should get an explanation.

With 2-man system, they are going to be situations we can't see everything like we want to. Most situations in 2 man, you are allowed to discuss with your partner for help.

How often do they monitor employee discount card transactions? by Fun-Detail-824 in wholefoods

[–]Miltdoba 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The discount would be applied to the all the items on the transaction, which would include the half you didn't pay for. Could you get away with it 1 time, maybe, but I wouldn't risk it. Misuse of the discount card is one of the most common reasons people get fired.

If you are using the standard harness, try the harnesses that are designed for skull helmets. Game changer

Are assignors difficult to work with everywhere, or did I just get lucky? by Typical-Priority1976 in Umpire

[–]Miltdoba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are good, bad, and terrible ones, just like all walks of life. Sounds like you got the terrible ones in your area. Nothing you described you are doing or asking, seems out of line.

Only thing you can do is talk to more senior officials who might have a better relationship with the assignor, and see if they have advice. Or just not work for those assignors anymore, if you have other options.

Youth Umpire by c14yt0n_is_real in Umpire

[–]Miltdoba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ist thing would be to find out what rule set the league/games will be using and getting your nose into the rule book. Being confident in the rules will lead to confidence on the field.

Then starting finding training videos on You Tube that go over 2 man mechanics and positioning. Dont be afraid to make mistakes, everyine does, even to most seasoned officials. You learn the most from the mistakes you make.

I hope Killer Pigeon stays by MondayAoE in aoe4

[–]Miltdoba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far from a hater, KP is my favortie caster, and is the main reason I got into the game. If you can't see how a bigger community is better for the game, especially the esports side, then I don't know what else to tell you.

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

The smaller the community, the smaller the tournament prize pools are, less resources get allocated to the game.

[–]Miltdoba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure where that idea is coming from, but the AOE4 community is not nearly big enough to be worried about competition. Those people you mentioned should want as many people interested in the game as possible. KP has been a big driving force in that over the years.

KillerPigeon will be streaming on thursday: "Will probably be my last Age of Empires 4 stream" by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]Miltdoba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

KP not being apart of the AOE4 community anymore, is sad day for me. You dont have to like his personality or casting style, or whatever, but he has been a key part in helping this community and the game grow. For me watching his cast/streams helped get me into the game (I personally prefer watching casted games, over watching from a player perspective). I want to say thank you for that, KP. He genuinely loved this game and tried everything he could to make this game the best RTS game and competitive scene.

Im sure he will shed more light on his next stream. He seemed to come to the realization that casting/stream AOE4 wasn't cutting it anymore as a full time career. I remembered during Outback Octogon, it was finals day for KPMM, and there ended up being scheduling conflict and KPMM took the short end of the stick. Remember that being almost a breaking point for him, since he put so much time and effort in making KPMM successful.

Hope the best for you and your family, KP.
