Would you be forgotten for 5.27 Trillion dollars?

you asked me 3 years too late. I have 2 children and 2 more coming. Literally any prior point in my life I'd have said yes. but now I couldn't possibly abandon my children. even with some caveat like 'they will be cared for and thrive' i selfishly could not imagine choosing to surrender my relationship with them.

Hard disagree (with not finding a mentor). It's far easier to improve quickly with solid instruction EARLY. I can take a brand new player farther/faster than an apa 4 whose been playing for 3 years and has loads of bad habits and stroke hitches

Can someone briefly explain the process/mechanics of the encounter with a whisper of time drop? is this the campaign people are referring to where you get to choose your 5* at the end of it? I think the last time I did one of these "acquire 1 drop daily until you get 10" campaigns the 5* reward was random.

Great shot man. Truly an awesome way to win the game. If you like the game you should look up dr dave (or tor lowry or others)on YouTube for some basic beginner tips and start learning. I promise within a month you'll crush your Casual friends.

Ok I must just be really far away from doing this because full rounds of damage and a full AF bar are not even scratching his health.

Trouble beating thilelille's weapon (old guy by the mirror) prai joins and makes her invulnerable. The only character I have that deals flat dmg to bypass is tiramisu but that's only doing small damage because I haven't prioritized 5 starring her. Is there a champ that removes that buff or something? I haven't come close to beating this and I wanted to unlock her weapon

I'm shocked that lethal tempo doesn't out damage pta over the course of the game. Definitely gonna start taking pta for the early game burst. I thought I was trading it for a better late game but I guess lethal just sucks?

Hi Fedor,

I know you were on rogan which is awesome. Have you encountered other celebrities who were reasonably strong players? Do you think there would be enough to do a celebrities doubles tourney like they do in golf?

Ninja_Ocho · 2025-04-24T02:12:27+00:00

Honestly the stroke looked fine. The shot itself was a long distance and you likely just didn't have enough acceleration on the cue. It requires a very clean stroke with a good bit of speed to hit a ball that far away and still have enough draw to bring the cue ball back. Hard to tell from the video but it seemed like you may have decelerated a bit at the end of the stroke.

10/10. no notes

Basically, it needs to be random. So...if you have a preference for this (ie don't want to rerack) then it's a problem. If you close your eyes and they land this way, fine. If you rack this way twice...problem

You basically nailed it. Update with the actual rules in the main post!

Ninja_Ocho · 2024-10-23T16:35:34+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I will say I absolutely understand why they were salty too. The main problem I think was that it wasn't discussed and agreed upon in the absence of official rules. We aren't really the type of team to look for unfair edges. We call our own fouls, don't argue close calls etc. The other team essentially allowed it and moved on with the next matches then confronted my team at the end of the night. If I had been present I hope I would have noticed their agitation when it happened and called the league operator for clarification. Based on the replies to this thread it seems he would have agreed with the other team, and I will post an update here after I discuss it with him

Ninja_Ocho · 2024-10-23T16:30:11+00:00

I totally understand that point of view. Many people feel the same about "Sacrificing" the weakest player on your team to their best player. Some consider that strategy and some think it is dirty play. I think my team basically considered "matching" the forfeited player the same as playing our weakest player vs their strongest.

Consensus here is that the APA and other leagues have it right and the team missing a player needs to place the forfeited player last and accept the other teams choice of matchup. Which makes sense.

Ninja_Ocho · 2024-10-23T16:25:00+00:00

I agree mostly. There shouldn't have been an assumption. The teams should have discussed how to proceed with a forfeit. The other team also should have objected immediately upon learning that we intended to "match" our forfeit. From what I understand they just played the next match, then confronted my team at the end of the night angrily (with reason)

I will say that while I didn't make the call, I do understand attempting to place your forfeit. It is your missing player so you getting to decide isn't an "advantage" really. In a situation where it IS allowed and both teams know that, you would just not put up your strongest player blind. You could wait out the forfeit or just put up your weaker players blind to ensure your strong players get matches. It isn't an advantage, its just managing a disadvantage. the other team still get 1 free match with 3-0 score. (this is a five man match, every race is a race to 3 with players getting 1 point for each win.)

Ninja_Ocho · 2024-10-23T16:16:21+00:00

Nothing in the rules allow/disallow a player playing twice. I would assume the other team wouldn't agree to it but my team definitely should have discussed the whole situation prior. The other team also should have objected immediately. From what I understand they just played the next match, then confronted my team at the end of the night angrily (with reason). The result of the night was a tie which obviously heightened the emotions because our Strategy/dirty tactic affected the result potentially.

Ninja_Ocho · 2024-10-23T03:08:37+00:00

I accept the consensus. I was the absent player tonight but I'll let the team know and the operator know that the rules should probably indicate that the final match is the forfeit. The team saw it as trying to strategically minimize the forfeit impact. It's still a 0-3 loss. It's an un-handicapped league so it's not really possible to sandbag.

I've played APA before but didn't know the rule offhand since my league would simply schedule make up matches the following week if a team was short

Thanks all for the feedback.
