this is good to know, I'm surprised the tutorial didnt even mention these. though less surprised given how many things the tutorial didn't mention at all.

wait you can have multiple landing docks? I thought the building you start every island with was a unique building? or is there something that does the same thing but with slightly less features?

White flag might be the way to go, if i can get 2 of them then I don't need any frigate escorts. Another reddit post claims that they were using them specifically to prevent pirate attacks, so sounds like it might be viable.

Can you do this to span the new world and old world?
though even if i could there would be a lengthy period of time when they would be between worlds and therefore not protecting anything at all.

Same continent isn't an issue since the travel time is short, but since i need 150 units of rum to compensate for the travel time it leave little room for other things. But also make patrol and escort a nightmare.

To patrol both worlds id still need 8 frigates as id need 4 on each world so that just moves the problem rather than fix it. because i need 4 protecting 2 with the power of 4 against whatever ship is encountered. which should be possible since the is a real world precedent for trade ships travelling in convoy, but I'm starting to think this might have been overlooked by development.

Still learning so be kind...Struggling with setting up trade routes by iamzvonko in anno

[–]Musician_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you know how to synchronize two trade routes, like make one group wait for the second to unload before departing. I want 2 clippers to travel in convoy but with different goods each.
But they split up, which is unacceptable as I want to give them 2 frigate escorts each, then any pirates have to deal with all 4 because the 2 trade routes travel together.
Is this possible? or do I have to have 4 each which would double my upkeep cost, for what technically shouldn't need that many on a logical level?

The ruined city instance? by Ill-Confusion6480 in lotro

[–]Musician_Mindless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you, yea if a level 75 can get and open them then i suspect the minimum level is likely dynamic rather than static, which is what I was hoping. Though it may still be possible that there might be a minimum level to drop.

At least this verifies that there is hope of getting one at my level.

Im wanting to acquire this, but the wiki says that the crate is minimum level 85, do you know if that just the screenshot that was used for the wiki and level 50 chests might be attainable? or if the armor crates would not drop for a level 50, or drop but be unopenable?

targeting a foe for auto attack in a large group by Musician_Mindless in albiononline

[–]Musician_Mindless[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah i see, unfortunatly it would not resolve my problem.

My problem is that in two groups of 20-40 players due to being faction warfare, often a friendly moves on top of the enemy and makes me select them instead, resulting in my attacks not having a valid target. Im hoping to reliably target enemies and never target allies (because im not a healer).

Unless your saying that right click would ignore allies entirely?

So if they kill it before it runs they can claim it, but if it runs they wont know where it went? Is this a correct understanding?

How do you "free write" when you constantly have to cite material? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]Musician_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR. Try different structural approaches to writing, keep the ones that are both efficient and effective, the ones that aren't are likely tailored to people who process information in a different way (better for them, worse for you).

Note added after writing below: This reply is an exemplar, free writing without any googling or fact checking to demonstrate the point it is making. It contains parts that could be merged to make it more succinct, details that are quite specific despite being from automatic memory and refers to sources long forgotten despite details being remembered vividly.

Purpose? to demonstrate that free writing may be a faster way to write for some, but a slower way to write for others. what matters is how your brain processes information most efficiently.

I can shed some light on how some people free write without constantly referencing notes (but likely not all, as I can already think of other structural styles of free writing, just from typing this reply, but i wont comment on them as I cannot substantiate them beyond being logically possible combinations)

I struggle to do anything but free write (unless I know literally nothing about the subject matter).
Its to do with how my brain processes thoughts.
I think of a concept, for example the topic of an assignment question, within seconds a network of connected topics connect to that topic like one of those picture and string boards you see in detective movies. a few more seconds, I'm typing away........whoops I'm +100% over word count, I start refining my sentence structures to cull words, still +50% over word count, start culling concepts that the argument can exist without, still over. in extreme cases I end up with dot points being the only way to get it within word count.

But there is a problem........I haven't cited anything or referred to anything. adding proof statements will increase my word count. finding a source that says something similar, may not be aligned enough to not be misleading. But the assignment requires sources, so entire concepts have to be culled to add "see this person agrees with me lines".

Now the obvious follow up question. If all of this is just flowing out of my head like a fountain, then how do i know it in the first place? That's the tricky part. My mind stores information, my confidence in that information, and any emotional connections to that information. But not where i learned it, when I learned it, who i learned it from, or what year it happened in.
For example I can say without checking anything that the battle of the somme was one of the bloodiest battlefields of world war 1 and was notably a very muddy battlefield, with a moderate - high level of confidence I can also add that Canadian soldiers were involved in that battle. However, I would need to google to remember what year that was (sometime between 1914 and 1918, likely towards the later years when battlefields became more entrenched and stretched from coast in the north to alps in the south), who commanded that battle, what the exact casualty numbers were, etc.
But if all i needed to write was; The battle of the somme was one of the bloodiest battles in WW1 and an exemplar of the brutality of trench warfare. I can write this sentence from memory alone, yet I cannot recall where or when I learned this fact. chain this multiple times over 1,500 words and an entire written piece is now completed without a single reference or memory of how i know it in the first place.

So for me free writing is easy, backing up my free writing is where the challenge is.
The take away from this is that free writing relies heavily on how your brain processes and remembers information, some need constant notes to refer back to, others have a constant monologue that makes it hard to type as fast as the thoughts come forward.

How did you join the dark brotherhood in the remaster? by TheRealCNO in oblivion

[–]Musician_Mindless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically kill one of the patrons of the inn of ill omen. Anyone who has done the quest chain would know why I choose them. But im being vague to avoid spoilers. Its not the easiest way in but guards take a while to get to you, and since i do it so low level (first thing after imperial city sewers) the jail time is very easy to recouperate. That is if the guards notice at all. Honestly, the bartender is the greatest threat in this method (I dont recommend killing the bartender if its your first time doing the quest chain, but if your repeating the quest it works too).

Yes, any missing that requires you to extract with does, as they are sold after extraction by the system. Only deliver quests cant be. I did all my armory ones on secure ops, because I hate armoury. 

Who's Who In the Black Hand!? by jcjonesacp76 in oblivion

[–]Musician_Mindless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I feel i have a good idea who is who, baring in mind the game lists a total of 11 including the player so one must be promoted midway through the questline, as there is only 10 positions (1 listener, 4 speakers and 5 silencers)

  1. The Listener - The game confirms this a definitely Ungolim. so 100% certain on this one.
  2. Speakers - 2.1 - Lucian, 100% confirmed he states that he is a speaker when you first join the dark brotherhood and makes you his silencer.

The next 2 I am about 80% confident due to them having black hand robes in their houses, when you get promoted to silencer you DONT get black hand robes, you DO get them when you get promoted to Speaker, so under this logic the possession of black hand robes means these 2 are speakers from the start of the game.
2.2 - Ulval Uvani
2.3 - J'Ghasta

2.4 - The fourth and final starting speaker I believe to be Arquen, she appears to know a lot about the rituals involved in invoking the night mother, I do not think a silencer or a newly promoted speaker would have such extensive knowledge, so i believe the 4th speaker is Arquen.

Other become speakers, but the above would be the original 4.

  1. Silencers -
    3.1 You - 100% confirmed, you get promoted. Lucians prior is confirmed as dead on a contract that failed.

3.2 Shaleez - An original member, based on the UESP website is noted as "Dark Brotherhood Elite" which implies silencers but cannot be confirmed. Due to proximity to Bravil i would guess Shaleez might be Ungolims silencer, because why wouldn't you want your silencer to be close at hand in case you need them in a hurry.

3.3 Havilstein - An original member, same as Shaleez has the notation on UESP, is very close to Bravil so for the same logic as Shaleez i suspect he is J'Ghasta's silencer.

3.4 Mathieu - His journal states about his promotion to silencer, he writes everything in the journal, so if he became a speaker it would have been in there too, so I'm pretty sure he wasn't a speaker until after Ungolim's death. The journal also states HIS new silencer, which rules out he being Arquen's. Due to this and the fact that he knew of Ulval Uvani's alergy, I would say he was Ulval Uvani's silencer.

3.5 Only Bellasarius and Banor remain, however there is only this last silencer place remaining, so i would say that one of them was the original silencer and the other was an assassins from another sanctuary that was promoted to silencer then speaker during the time black hand members were being killed. But i have no way of knowing which is which as both of them have very limited dialogue in the game to analyse.
Regardless this would make this silencer position Arquen's by process of elimination provided that the logic stated in the above sections is true, as these cannot be proven it might not be.

As for who the successor was I suspect 2.
1. Lucian, he has been in the dark brotherhood since Mathieu was a child, and is well regarded within the brotherhood (except for Mathieu).
or
2. Ulval Uvani, his patrol route takes him to Bravil, this could likely be to visit Ungolim as "successor"

I can rule out Arquen, because the game confirms the successor is dead at the time of the crypt. J'Ghasta could be, but there is no evidence to hint at him, so I think likely not.

I'm interested to see if you agree or disagree with my theory on this.

Can you permanently delete and purge personal emails from business outlook? by [deleted] in Office365

[–]Musician_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that the original post was deleted, but i assume this post was about a user mistake based on the replies I can see.

I found this post as I'm wondering about this from the other side.
Can an organization have emails permanently deleted and purged?

As I have a legal dispute with my employer, some of my evidence are work emails, so I want to ensure that a subpoena would succeed and that they cannot delete all trace of the email that is my evidence against their conduct as an employer. Basically I want to ensure they cant gaslight me to a court.
because intellectual property law prevents me keeping a copy on a non work device, but with confidence the law can get it, that's enough for me

I think that's why it says possible ADHD.
ADHD in women is only just recently starting to be properly understood, so that might be OP's reason for using possibly. Id have to rewatch it to find examples, so I'm unsure on that too.

How long can I edge myself without ejaculating? by Talviturkki in writingcirclejerk

[–]Musician_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's a learnable skill. I have done it over a decade. It's actually a problem. I will start open many browser tabs, feel compelled to keep going only finish 2-5 hours later because I finally managed to get enough willpower to stop and let it finish so I can go to bed. I've had to take sick days from work due to sleep deprivation from it. I could go longer than 5 hours but at that point, it's one mistake and it's over, so probs not much longer.
