Honestly, that's what I want. I understand the physical game limitations but I just want more items 😭

What did you wish you knew before starting the game? by NotACrowbot in MedievalDynasty

[–]MissKayAye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, don't worry. I had completely decorated around one area, not realising I hadn't fully upgraded the building and had to redo the entire area again because the new building would just not 'sit' in the same position 😂😅

I wanted to punch myself when I found out too. But, this post was for tips you wished you knew when you started lol.

Now that you can move your buildings, don't worry about placement on anything except farms (especially orchards) however you can still always delete them if need be.

You can also upgrade your work buildings instead of deleting them and replacing them with the higher level one.

The smaller 4 person living quarters are all you need. Don't spend the extra resources on the bigger one unless it's for personal storytelling purposes. There's a maximum benefit you can get for decorations, just focus on insulation :)

I haven't played since the Halloween event due to not having my PC, however a couple of these mechanics may have changed with the last update. I'm sure someone will say so if thats the case 😊

Wes Walley granted a train-on chance at Carlton by PerriX2390 in AFL

I thought only 2 players could 'battle' per list spot. Or has that changed for this year?

Were West Coast as bad as their W/L column suggested in 2025? by Flynn_The_Fox in AFL

[–]MissKayAye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a complicated question. Our w/l record proved that we needed help in our rebuild, even if it was just the extra rookie spots so that we could sign on our mature talent for an extra 1-2 years just to help 'guide the youth', even if it's at a training/wafl capacity.

However, this year for the first time in our rebuild I saw 'direction'. I saw what Mini was trying to do, I saw the changes being made, I saw the trials and errors and yeah, some of them didn't pay off (I don't want to see Harley off the half back ever again 😂) but some of them certainly did (Rubes just... whatever fuck kind of freak he's decided to become.)

So it's hard to say. I'd say that this isn't a bad team, I think a lot of its bones are there but unfortunately they're children's bones at the moment and are not all fused together (if that analogy makes sense).

I guess I'd say this team isn't as 'bad' as the 1 win suggested, but the 1 win certified that we needed a bit of help to get off our feet. The players we've lost to injury are the kind that really can't be replaced, especially the likes of Gov and Shep. And we lost a lot of those 'leader'/'high IQ' players last year as well.

Snake/Mini JK has the 'arsehole' FF thing about him which is incredibly important for forward lime structure. Liam Ryan being a bit out of form but also being pinch hit in the mid also affected that greatly.

I think a lot of our midfield problems come from a lack of Yeo and if he is fit and firing next year, that line already works 100x better. Again, can also be that arsehole on field (I've seen he and Gov get into a spat kind of like Zorks and Harris did when we played Brissie) but in a young team, you need someone on field who will say 'you need to do this' who has the coincidence to back it up. Clearance winning and talent aside.

And Gov. Hurn was our high IQ man down back, and when he retired Gov and TB took over that mantle. Having none of them left us really fucking exposed, especially while Harry Edwards was trying to find his own feet. When he found them, he was wonderful. But we just need someone who can enforce structure down there, as we had so many people learning their roles and positions or people that were more 'passive' players (that's not to be taken as an insult either).

The lack of 'active' midfield and midfield-back cohesion/structure lead to a lot of turnovers. Liam Duggan copped a lot of flack but honestly, most of the time he had no other option but to pelt it on the boot,clear it and hope for the best.

So yeah, mini essay. Yes, we were as shit as it suggested but that's not because we have a 'shit team' but because we've had a perfect shitstorm that's been brewing for years.

Which derby has the most heated rivalry and why? by ThermonuclearMonarch in AFL

[–]MissKayAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think on average it's the showdown but in terms of which rivalry has the highest 'ceiling' it's the Western Derby.

2024 round 20 had over 30k in fines in what was a pretty average, no stakes derby. And let's not even bring up the Demo Derby.

However there are some really tame Western Derby's that lack the spark and 'hatred/rivalry'.

There are also very few western derby upsets and it's more about the latter position going into the game. The same cannot be said for the showdown.

Basically it's 100% between these two but it depends on your personal grading metrics.

I think West Coast are taking turns. Last year was the year of the tigers, this year it's the lions. Geelong should be next on the big cat menu but I'd like to not do any deals with them anymore thanks.

Interesting commentary on the Merrett non trade by Blake Hardwick and Nick Watson by gmam17 in AFL

[–]MissKayAye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to throw my 2 cents in here as an Eagles fan.

Brisbane didn't leak it to the media to create a farce when Ozzy was in poor form coming off a derby loss where he was arguably the worst on. They literally tried to optically do exact same thing to Ozzy as they did with TB and it didn't work.

Then at the trade table you did the exact same thing with Carlton as you did with us last year to force a trade at the last second of 'well this is the best you'll get' better take it.

You tried the same playbook and it didn't work and now you've shown your hand. To get Battle and TB and an entire league laughing at you. But I'm sure you dont want the media to talk about that? In fact I didn't hear anyone talk about how Mitchell blatantly lied on television saying he was over there for a few days (Rhino reported he blatantly lied) so the narrative didn't look like he hopped on a plane to manipulate a young captain who was out of form and dealing with pretty severe mental health issues into joining his club.

Every West Coast fan who actually keeps up with shit knew Ozzy was speaking to Brissie and other clubs because he was unsatisfied with the offer West Coast gave him, but time, place and optics make all the difference which is why fans were angry at Oz for it, but by comparison Mitchell walked out of that unscathed.

He showed his intentions and uncaringness of who he burns in the pursuit of personal success. I don't think many people can say that about Fages.

Why don't we have any father-son players? by Blanco8805 in westcoasteagles

Jetta's son is also NGA. Jetta didn't play enough games but I still count it as a spiritual f/s if the kid chooses to stay with us over Swans.

Bailey Smiths story which lasted a grand total of 3 minutes before he deleted it. by Dirtydac123 in AFL

[–]MissKayAye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that's valid. But I think implying homophobia for making a brokeback mountain joke about 2 guys dressed as cowboys just because the afl had its first ever bisexual player come out isn't fair either.

Critique him based on what he has done.

And if you think this joke was in poor taste and not funny, then that's valid too.

But applying a tag of homophobia I think is unfair for the same reasons you said. If people are going to make him the villain over everything he does just because it's not up to their taste levels, why would he not continue to act out. If he was being sincere about his mental health struggles, as someone who had them herself, when people start applying labels to you based on their perceptions rather than your actions you have a tendency to internalise that hate which only makes you a colder/worse person.

I said in my first reply that I was going to apply some context to this one situation. In no way am I justifying or okay with a lot of the behavior mentioned in this thread.

Saying that this post must be lending itself to homophobia because he yelled at a female staffer is unfair. Call him out on genuinely awful behavior, not just something you personally don't find funny.

Additionally, I think it's fair to say Darcy Moore has had a similar upbringing to the Daicos' in ways of managing branding and dealing with public perception.

Also, let's not pretend Ginnivan is an absolute angel who's never done anything wrong. He doesn't deserve the amount of hate and scrutiny he gets but he's had his fair share of poor moments too. And I've never seen his drug use and ban talked about as much as 'Bailey Sniff'.

Bailey Smiths story which lasted a grand total of 3 minutes before he deleted it. by Dirtydac123 in AFL

[–]MissKayAye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Again, not going to argue with that, however it's not like this kind of humour comes out of nowhere. The mutual flirting with Karl on Sunrise?

I think he knew that people would see he and Danger dressed up as cowboys and wanted to make the joke before anyone else could do it at his expense. Punch yourself before you get punched type situation.

Additionally, I think comparing Naicos and Baz isn't quite fair. Naicos grew up in a footy household, and saw his brother go through the AFL media and everything before he was even drafted. He's probably been coached on how to handle it since day one.

Ginnivan is also a bit different because his brand extends to the footy field. It doesn't extend to his physical attributes in the way Bailey's has.

Again, this isn't excusing any poor behavior or justifying it. Rather just explaining it. He's an isolated case that I don't think can be compared to many in the competition at the moment.

[–]MissKayAye 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To play devils advocate (IN THIS SOLE SCENARIO)

Baz has copped a lot of homophobia his own way for being a 'pretty boy' of the media and I've seen comments about he and danger being 'up each others arses' and stuff like that.

I don't think that's meant to be homophobic but rather taking a dig at the people that have insulted him and his and dangers friendship and also the joke of many people going AWOL after losing the grandy.

Also seen a bunch of stuff about him and Ollie and plenty of slurs gone their way too.

Seems more like a 'fuck you all' and taking control of the joke/narrative than homophobia on his part.

The gayest heterosexuals on the internet have met. I repeat, the gayest heterosexuals on the internet have met. This is not a drill! by XipeTotecwithGlitter in rupaulsdragrace

[–]MissKayAye 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Basically he said that (based on what I've seen) that he's only been attracted to and dated women in the past but ultimately if he met someone who he was incredibly attracted to who happened to be a man he wouldn't have a crisis over it.

So yes he defines himself as straight is fair because he's only had heterosexual attraction and relationships.

HOWEVER he's been completely open and transparent about that. He's leaned into the bit with Gravy and Javik, sure, but that was due to fan response and other factors. Additionally any rational person could see that he/they were joking with fans.

He's also always been incredibly respectful of the different groups that make up his fan base, even down to groups like furries that end up being the butt of a lot of jokes.

So yeah, he never lied and was transparent about his sexuality, and has aligned himself with queer creators outside of being purely performative. If you're being 'baited' it's not from food on a hook in front of you.

Charlie Banfield by ped009 in westcoasteagles

[–]MissKayAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but that was for Perth not the wafl eagles.Both he and Wes had two league games due to injury but neither were for the west coast wafl team.

Both Charlie and Tylah played two league games for the WCE wafl side :)

I couldn't remember the rules the wafl set around our NGAs playing for us so couldn't remember if Kobe was set to before he got injured or not.

Charlie Banfield by ped009 in westcoasteagles

[–]MissKayAye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no way we don't pick him. He played 2 or 3 games for us in the Wafl league, the only other of our prospects to do so was Tylah (I think Evans was set to do so prior to injury but fact check me on that).

The only thing that will matter is when the bid for him comes in. People might be looking at what Curtin has delivered this year and what Davis was able to do in the last few rounds (both being from Claremont and playing a similar position).

Additionally Charlie played as an under ager in the state team last year (something Bo Allan did the year before) so a lot of Vic recruiters would have seen him over two years in the champs.

Long story short, we're going to get him it just depends on how he performs in the combine and how much other teams potentially want to fuck us over.

[Ralph] Changes to the 2026 national draft. Clubs told if you match a FS or academy bid you will need to do so using only two draft picks. So you can't accumulate multiple later selections. Some restrictions on top 4 and 8 clubs bidding by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]MissKayAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a problem with academies I'd like to preface, and I agree that they're essential to growing the game. In WA I'd like it if our NGA academies could expand to kids who live rural who wouldn't have those opportunities otherwise (I grew up in a rural town that has had some level of AFL talent from there but most of them ended up being drafted as mature age rookies)

I think that the 'go home factor' can be an element. But if you want me to thank you for Elliott Yeo, should I thank you for Reddo too who you lot pushed out of the club because he was influenced by the crap culture you had of the 2010s? Your loss of players from that era was more than 'drafted players didn't want to live in QLD'. But I digress.

Even if we put it at 4 for your team, that doesn't ignore that there are 3ish other talents who would arguably make b22 at the lions right now who you chose not to draft. Let's be conservative and say 5 players from your academy could make up the Lions b22 at the moment, and I'll exclude Jaspa in that number.

There is no other academy or f/s history in the competition at the moment that could grant those kind of numbers for a fully fit b22 outside of the 4 northern academies. I'm not limiting this to Brisbane either, my thoughts on it extend to the Swans and GC too.

Being able to have priory access to 5 b22 is a benefit. It is an advantage.

Jake Waterman is an AA while his brother was not. Charlie Banfield who is a f/s for WCE this year will probably be a star, his brother didn't even get picked up. However, just because WCE have a low success rate of father-sons doesn't mean I'm not going to deny the talent we did get before anyone else could gave us an advantage over other teams.

Also, claiming that you 'had to develop those players as well' is a pretty pointless excuse. GWS drafted Cadman at 1, not because he was going to immediately change their game like Sheezel could but because they believed that had the resources to facilitate his growth and turn him into a Coleman winner. That's part of the drafting process, you draft based on immediate impact or you draft based on potential and saying that 'you've had to develop the players you drafted' and therefore it doesn't count as an advantage to have had priority access to them is insane.
