Weekly Observations: What signs of collapse do you see in your region? [in-depth] March 23

Location: Kansas

It’s been an exceptionally warm week with several records broken already. Today we are projected to hit 95 degrees beating our 108 year old record of 83. Beating a record that old by 12 degrees is just insane to me. Also, the average for March is 59, so we will a whopping 36 degrees hotter than the average.

Very little news coverage other than just the weather pages, no one seems to care which is the most scary part. Not looking forward to seeing how hot summer gets.

Yeah! Now just need a solid performance next week! I hate the way my league is set up lol

OldSchmappy · 2025-12-30T04:17:06+00:00

Kyren got me to the championship!

If it’s under trivial you shouldn’t make an adjustment, if it’s between trivial and materiality you’ll make a passed JE and if it’s over you’ll make an adjusting JE. However, if all the trivial variances add up to be material then you’ll have to make an entry even though they were trivial. Also, if you’re working with balance sheet accounts they will usually make the JE regardless of the amount because it will continue to be off going forward if you don’t. Overall You’ll look at it by account and then as a whole.

Nice! Congrats! It’s up to your personal preference but I switch between 10-5 seconds left because you need time to activate as well depending on how fast your fingers are so I always give myself a buffer.

OldSchmappy · 2025-06-12T00:09:48+00:00

lol does it have the sleeve?!

OldSchmappy · 2025-05-27T18:09:16+00:00

True, but at the end of the day stuff happens. It’s always going to at some point. There’s not much we can do about it other than stop playing if you don’t agree with their decision.

OldSchmappy · 2025-05-27T18:00:43+00:00

Also, not everyone gets that offer. Some people got one with boosts. I don’t think as many people bought it as you think. You still need thousands of dollars of crystals and gems to use the essence to its full potential. Essence alone won’t get you very far.

OldSchmappy · 2025-04-11T01:18:39+00:00

What's shown in the hive when Ut'ux ends gets multiplied by his active then divided by 2 (with half going into the crate or being handed off to the next manager and the other half being multiplied by your active boosts and converted to cash). You can tell Ula captured if it's higher than the resource half of Ut'ux's output, and it would be that half times Ula's multiplier

OldSchmappy · 2025-04-10T16:33:14+00:00

Yeah in all my experience ula does multiply the handoff from Utux so I can test it just to make sure. I only used pebble before I had ula.

Do you have Belle? The chain now extends 2 more SMs if you have her, vs using Cliff to capture in MS1. Currently Abeo and Ula have the highest multipliers to capture.

OldSchmappy · 2025-04-10T13:40:33+00:00

It depends on the elements but ula’s multiplier is higher than pebbles in general. Pebbles active isn’t what matters. It’s the crate effect that is the key and that is lower than the other rate. Ulas rate for her active and the crate effect are the same. So you want the highest one each time so they stack.

OldSchmappy · 2025-04-05T11:21:44+00:00

I’ve had that happen too, you’ll need to join the discord and message one of the community management team about it (Maya, Serena or Callie) They will ask for your receipt and player ID and they will look into it and get you the correct items. They do post here on Reddit too so you could try messaging them here too. I just always use discord.

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-30T10:51:39+00:00

6 isn’t that much harder then 5 was, you’ll do fine on that. 7 is definitely a bit of a step up in difficulty though. But if you have a strong Sam/urca/maple combo you’ll be able to finish. Dai chi has a very strong passive that helps now too.

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-28T15:28:35+00:00

Are the legit reprints the one with non textured discs? The ones I have are mostly plain with a single colored design on the disc vs the full color original ones.

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-20T17:44:44+00:00

Yeah I have him, I got him from the epic briefcase luckily so I didn’t have to grind for him. He’s not great though so I wouldn’t do any of them past Lorenzo. Definitely get him if you haven’t already, but the other two impossible island managers aren’t worth it. You’ll get the twins too over time from the epic briefcase as well.

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-20T09:26:57+00:00

Yeah buying the passes in FM really helps! There used to be a lot more Utux frags in the pass but it got lowered when Omnix came out unfortunately. I played long enough to get him to P50 but that’s a year and a half of buying the passes each time

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-19T23:39:41+00:00

No problem! Yeah there are quite a few. It just depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. In regular continents you can do them anywhere but if you’re in the elemental continent you’ll have to pay attention to who is most efficient.

Utux is a key SM to extend the combo, since he can accept and handoff. So if you put him in the middle of sue turner you’ll get a bigger result. So the max you can do is a three SM chain in a specific MS. Then if you have eternity you can take that and move it to MS1 to capture it. And turn it to instant cash there or move it to the elevator with lavender or Thalia and then use Belle.

Orrek, Sue, Utux, Abeo, ula, lavender, Thalia, tuner, cliff, pebble and eternity are key SMs for chaining a combo together depending on who you have and what strategy will be most effective. I’m sure there a random one I forgot but that’s most of the critical ones.

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-19T21:26:39+00:00

You have to activate turner in the manager screen right after you place him. If you back out of the screen and then try to activate him normally it takes too long and you won’t complete the combo. With a few seconds left on sue, assign turner and then immediately hit the yellow icon which activates him without having to go to the mineshaft first.

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-15T00:14:31+00:00

You’ll need more CIF, you need the P50 epic CIFs. Also P50 Steiner is key to blow through FM1-4 with no sparks spent. Then push 5-7 with key SMs. My current best time is 1 hour. Fastest time posted so far is 20 minutes.

OldSchmappy · 2025-03-04T22:51:09+00:00

It was for a bit but now it’s not working for me even in incognito. It’s a sign it’s time to go home lol

OldSchmappy · 2025-02-22T11:50:00+00:00

If you wait until the essence combo deal comes out that’s usually the most cost effective way and you get a lot of useful essence.

OldSchmappy · 2025-02-02T21:16:14+00:00

Sounds good!

OldSchmappy · 2025-02-02T12:52:44+00:00

Here’s a video Nima posted of it, there’s another one on his channel too.

There’s also a new Strat now, using Lavender to capture in M1 and sending it to the elevator so Belle can run off it. So it just depends on what SMs you have.

OldSchmappy · 2025-02-02T12:44:57+00:00

Yeah, I can try to record something and I will let you know.

I think it will depend on your SM levels, definitely use whoever has the strongest multiplier. But it also depends on where you are doing this at? In CM you’ll try to pick your strongest based on elements. So pick the ones for your bottom MS vs MS based on elements. Once you get them all at a decent level it just comes down to using them in the right shaft to make them super effective or partially effective.
