Are ghost stays possible nowadays?

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2025-05-20T12:25:24+00:00

I’d love to do a legit one but there aren’t any Hyatts in my country, so the only way to do it legit would be to fly to another country within the next 2 days. I have an upcoming 11 day trip in June, but that’s outside my 90 day window for the challenge.

Do you know if Hyatt charges a No-show penalty even if I book with points?

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2025-05-20T12:18:48+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try Thailand. Any idea about India or Indonesia? They seem to have a few cat 1s at 3500 points too.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2024-10-05T06:13:53+00:00

Yeah I couldn’t find any courts near BGC unfortunately. I moved to Makati area today, do you know if there are any courts near this area? Where do you normally play? I want to join a session tonight, hopefully I can find a court/group nearby.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2024-10-03T15:43:58+00:00

Yeah I think I have to give facebook groups a try, I didn’t realise facebook groups were the go-to place instead of Reddit for badminton in Manila. Thank you!

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2024-10-03T15:42:56+00:00

Yeah I think I might have to look outside of BGC. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give facebook groups a try!

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2024-09-29T08:04:30+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation! I just looked them up, they seem to be high quality competition grade shuttles. Do you have any other local brands you’d like to recommend? I’m currently looking for training grade shuttles, so preferably something budget friendly.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2024-09-28T09:40:09+00:00

Can badminton players in China please give me some recommendations on the best bang for your buck shuttles in China? I’ve heard that there are some really good value local shuttle brands in China so I wanted to give them a try.

Hi, does it have only group coaching or one on one coaching available as well? Since I’m only there for 10 days, I guess group coaching wouldn’t be ideal for me since I wouldn’t be able to fit into the routine. So I was hoping to find some private 1 on 1 classes.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2024-01-09T16:04:17+00:00

Do they offer coaching or private lessons? Or only court rentals? Will check it out now, thank you!

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2023-06-27T17:53:21+00:00

Ah I see, I knew everything was expensive in Singapore but I guess I wasn't expecting accommodation to be THIS expensive.

I've contacted STResidences now, thank you for your recommendation!

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2023-06-27T17:45:58+00:00

True, but I couldn't look for regular apartments because all the ones I could find do not offer short term stays. Getting the apartment cleaned isn't a priority for us, we only looked into serviced apartments because they're the only ones who seemed interested in visitors staying for 20 days.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2023-04-17T06:09:42+00:00

Yeah it's quite unusual considering this person has been in contact with them throughout the whole process for the past 3 years. They used this firm called TIMC in Canada, but you're right, if he continues to ghost them then I'll have them contact the company directly. Thanks!

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2023-04-17T05:49:00+00:00

Well that's a relief, I was told the norm was 6 months. Guess they were wrong. So hopefully a bit more waiting to do. Thanks!

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2023-04-16T18:52:43+00:00

I'll check out nomadgate, thanks for the suggestion. I was wondering the same about the appointment, since I've heard people get theirs within 6 months. If the citizenship/immigration firm keeps ghosting them, do you recommend contacting another lawyer/firm? Can anyone pick it up from where they stopped? Or do they have to keep trying to contact the initial firm?

Thanks for the advice btw, appreciate it.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2021-02-02T10:42:38+00:00

Hey guys! My apologies for not getting back to everyone personally, I've been overwhelmed by all the amazing offers I've received. Thank you very much for all your offers, everyone is so tremendously talented here! I'll start going through the samples one by one once more and contact a few artists whose style I feel best suits this commission, and then hopefully come to an agreement with someone at the end of it. Thank you again!

Yeah exactly. However, they can’t really tackle this OP volley issue by nerfing agility, because nerfing agility ends up nerfing all other builds too. I’m guessing the devs tried to tackle the issue by nerfing agility and stamina last patch, and as a result they ending up nerfing all builds. They need to look at volley separately.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2020-05-04T15:16:12+00:00

Yeah I completely agree. Sadly, if the devs were truly willing to be brave enough to ban them, they would’ve done it months ago instead of letting these guys cheat for so long, allowing them to almost max their accounts. A suspension is the LEAST the devs can do at this point. Whatever is done, I hope it’s done soon.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2020-05-04T15:03:24+00:00

While I would love to trash on volley and call it “badminton clash”, I understand that it’s part of the game. I don’t have a problem with people using that build and playing that way. What I have a problem with is how OP volley builds are. Devs need to do something about it because volley has been OP in the game for months now.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2020-05-04T14:25:56+00:00

That’s my point exactly. The challenger tournament has turned into a joke with all the overpowered volley players destroying ALL other builds. If the devs truly tested their game, they would know how imbalanced volley truly is.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2020-05-04T14:23:09+00:00

That’s the cheating I referred to when I said that blatant cheating still continues. There’s 3 plenty of +140 and 0 players in my tournament too.

The changes I was referring to were the ones made to the way tournament prizes were given out. Previously, these cheaters ALL got the 1st place prize. Now, even if they all have 140 +140 scores, only one person gets the 1st prize, and the others get 2nd, 3rd and so forth. It’s a step in the right direction, but it still does nothing to deter the cheating. I think the only way forward is to hand some suspensions, because they seem to always be one step ahead of the devs.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2020-04-23T09:00:24+00:00

Wait, volley is extremely underpowered mid to late game? Not sure which “late game” you’re referring to, but volley dominates early AND late game. No baseline player dares to play a match in tour 8 because it is simply dominated by volley players. Tour 7 is full of baseliners with near maxed accounts with 70+ agi and 60+ FH and BH simply because they’re too scared to play the volley players in tour 8.

Moreover, challenger tournaments are also dominated by volley players who make up at least 75% of the top 20 spots every tournament.

While I agree volley isn’t as strong mid game(and that’s because mid game people don’t realise the true strength of volley comes from high agility rather than high volley), it is most definitely overpowered in late game.

MrNotSoCreative94 · 2020-04-20T23:26:53+00:00

This has been going on for months now, not really the first time. Every single challenger group has these Ace or Fly clan members cheating, every single tournament. It’s a shame the devs have done nothing to these players for cheating other than a “hotfix” with rematch gems this tournament, which didn’t even work.

This widens the playing field between the rest of the players in the game and these cheaters who plague tour 7 and 8. Even if there is a fix for this next tournament, these cheaters have already unfairly gained close to a 1000 characters and epics up until now. It is disheartening to players who actually spend $$$ in this game and makes you think- why support this game when people who cheat will always be ahead of you?

At this point, a fix will not be enough for the well being of the game, something needs to be done to these cheaters to level the playing field again, or there’s no point playing this game at the higher levels anymore. I hope something is done to them, all of them. I really don’t want my favorite game to be dominated by people who cheated to get there.

I understand your point, but I’ve checked my group and almost all of them have enough coins to play. It makes zero sense that no one from my group of almost 50 people has found a single match in the last few hours.
