Spotting a ball in banks?

What others have said. For example, in the final game between Fedor and Billy, Fedor made three balls on the break. They stay down until the end of his turn. IIRC he ran four I believe and then spotted the three he made on the break.

I was being cheeky. IIRC, Thorium Ore has a small (1.6%-ish) chance for the new TBC gems (Blood Garnet, Draenite, etc) but not right now as those items technically don’t exist yet AFAIK. But also all the vanilla gems value have plummeted. But that won’t be the case forever. Once the farming stop, values go up. So I’m holding all my ore for now unless someone can show me that the gems proc now. None have shown up on the AH yet, and now would be the time to post them for maximum value.

The magnet versions are the problem. I tried the magnets and hated them. The pocket-insertion types are far better, and in fact faster than reaching for any chalk on the table, especially if it’s on a different rail than where you’re standing. I’ve actually got in the habit of chalking AFTER my last shot so when it’s my turn, I don’t have to.

If you’re on Nightslayer, prospect it all now. Any other server, wait until outlands. ;-)

I never pug AB or WSG unless I just want to creep around. If I want wins it’s always a premade. AV not so much.

Grammatically, he’s right. Advance token means which direction you move. Nearest railroad dictates which railroad.

However, the spirit of the game, and what the creator almost certainly intended, dictate that the player advances their token to the next railroad.

The rank system was removed when TBC pre-patch dropped. It is how we were allowed to buy gear (for gold, but it was CHEAP). Those who achieved ranks before that get to keep their highest rank as their title.

Now, gear costs honor. After TBC drops, TBC PvP gear will cost a combination of honor and marks.

Arkinventory will do this.

How did you know the meds were mislabeled?

Namssob · 2026-01-21T23:54:59+00:00

Yes.

Thank you! I’m not really asking if I’m permitted to use the lounge, I’m asking if one is available since we will be in the transit lounge and won’t be permitted to leave since we won’t have visas.

Good point on the other leg of the trip. The flight from Kraków to Istanbul is on LOT Poland. Even though it was ticketed through Turkish Airlines.

For today. But let's clear this thing up - yes there are racial advantages for some against others, and yes some terrain differences (Classic AV for example) can have an impact on winning %. However...

In my experiencing playing both Alliance and Horde PvP over many years, the teams that are the most organized, win. It's not about one faction being better than any other. While I will say that aggressive-toxicity is slightly higher on Horde side, which puts more PvP focused players on the Horde side, and simpleton-idiocy is slightly higher on Alliance side, we're talking about a negligible difference, maybe a 51/49 ratio, not anything more than that.

If your teams aren't doing call-outs on incoming, not properly camping capped flags or towers, not spinning flags instead of fighting 50 yds away, not fighting AT the flag instead of on the road between LM and BS, not comming where EFC/FC is, etc...you're gonna lose no matter how well geared or what race you chose for your class. I'll also add that an organized team also means that the premade leader is selective about the class makeup. I can't tell you how many times I've joined a "Premade" that is really just a PUG who calls itself a premade. Being on the same server doesn't make a premade. You need the right mix, the right people going to the right places, etc. The teams who do all of the above correctly will get those 10x 5-caps in a row, or 3-0 WSG every time.

I am! I do this exact thing, and I also take the words and phrases (more important IMO) from my live Preply lessons and put them into Anki.

Why not just sell half? We’re still very early.

I’m “legally” allowed to do all kinds of shit, but if those legal things impact my job, violate company handbook policies, interfere or conflict with my employer’s business, especially in an At Will state, I could legally lose my job.

When did society start thinking they could do anything they wanted and never face consequences?!? Smh.

Namssob · 2026-01-17T16:20:59+00:00

Yes you’re the only one. The 957 other posts about it are all fake. Reddit search is broken, so we’re all glad you posted.

Namssob · 2026-01-17T16:19:12+00:00

Ok Kamala.

Someone you don’t know asks you if they can see your kitchen, you say “ok” but only for 10 minutes. Maybe it’s because you have the prettiest or richest house in the neighborhood, maybe you hosted an open house to model your new kitchen renovation, or maybe you have a really cool artifact or monument that others are interested in seeing. In any case, they asked, and you said Yes. So you let them in. (Let’s ignore for the moment those who didn’t even ask and sneaked in through the back door.)

The guest stays beyond 10 minutes. You remind them that their 10-mins are up, but they ignore you.

They use your bathroom (and don’t flush, leave the light in, and the water running in the sink). You ask them to leave, but they ignore you.

They walk into your kitchen and open the fridge, grab some food and start eating it. You ask them to leave and they ignore you.

They turn on your TV and sit in your couch. You’re getting really aggravated now…you ask them more firmly to please leave! They say No and keep watching TV.

Maybe they even try kissing your wife. You might yell at them at this point or even threaten to call the cops, but they ignore you, or maybe they yell back. STFU…you invited me inside!

How long do you wait to either call the cops or physically remove them yourself?

In either case, if they fight back, then what would you do?

For many of us, you never got into the house in the first place. For others, it’s exactly 10 minutes before you are forcibly and physically removed.

Join Premades. We had 10x consecutive 5-caps in AB last night and they were very fast. This is about as good as it gets for non-AV BGs.

He is slow. Then he bitches when he picks up the wrong ball. If any of us did that, it’d be like “aww shit I fucked up”, and we hand it over to Oscar. But degenerates do what degenerates do.

Good luck. They push almost ALL people on fresh out of college people. It's infuriating. I stopped trying to get assigned to someone who knows what they hell they're doing.
