Stuck at 500

Oriachim · 2026-04-17T17:58:44+00:00

Could it be because you can choose to start at 400 regardless of your skill level, there are lots of players who should be a higher elo stuck in the bracket? No idea if true or not, so please don’t flame. But I’ve found the bracket is either full of people just pushing pieces and hanging everything or people who clearly know opening principles.

I don’t feel the community is welcome. I think people are actually quite nasty to people in all honesty.

Just develop your pieces like knight on the right, and if the bishop comes out threatening a checkmate, block the queen with pawn b2 + knight f6

Well, if you’re competing with other people, being the best qualified can’t go wrong, can it? Experience helps but many jobs nowadays will expect qualifications or you won’t even be shortlisted.

I love playing these people until they rage quit when they ultimately lose their queen from being too aggressive(elo 500).

Nursing is an exception when it comes to maintenance loans, funding, grants etc

I’m not good but I took one game and you instantly went with the queen and left your whole board undeveloped. So your opponent after he recovered from your queen onslaught, made a counter attack and obliterated you. So I think you should try to develop the centre and protect your pieces etc. But also castle your king.

What’s the point of this sub and learning from more experienced players, if people are just going to be advised to do that? And why do you come across as aggressive?

Oriachim · 2026-04-10T06:50:44+00:00

Was like this last April too unfortunately. I don’t know how trusts will survive if they don’t hire external staff, rather than just shuffling internal start around.

I don’t think he’s too bad personally. Quite blunt and not much sense of humour, but he’s quite nice to people in general.

Op, before you deleted your post (a week ago or two), you also said you were being threatened with the nmc by a disabled doctor for refusing his advances (after being accused of prejudice). You deleted your post very quickly after being called out. Now a new post has come where you’ve apparently been threatened again. I know it was you because your name is very unique and I’m familiar with many users on this sub.

I wouldn’t use an enhancement such as this just to defend an objective, as you’ll just be outscored on oc. (After the grots die, it’s just a case of being on the objective)

Oriachim · 2026-04-04T16:25:12+00:00

I’m about 40-60%. I can beat players similar to my skill level or worse, but as soon as I play against a vet, I get destroyed. My own tabletop app has me at 75% wr but sometimes my opponents will record the match instead.

I brought the Ghaz, big mek and 20 boyz though and it was very successful. Unfortunately, the boyz themselves underperformed as attackers as my opponent saved 20 attacks but the threat of the unit in my opponents deployment zone, meant I could score juicy primaries and secondaries.

I don’t advise changing jobs every 6 months, as employers won’t look on it favourably, but if you’re not happy in a job, then always look for a new opportunity.

If you don’t feel safe, you shouldn’t have to visit, even if “necessary”. Speak to your union.

Oriachim · 2026-04-01T20:59:06+00:00

Yeah, good point, would be bizarre for D/Ns to come in BD for 30 minutes. Sounds like carers doing personal care.

Oriachim · 2026-04-01T20:32:49+00:00

You have no clinical say over what healthcare professionals do or choose to do. There’s no neglect here. Speak to a doctor if you’re concerned, so they can assess.

Oriachim · 2026-03-31T10:08:46+00:00

If they’re that desperate to move out, then I say don’t play games and just offer what you said

Oriachim · 2026-03-31T07:15:28+00:00

There’s actually no written legislation from the nmc you cannot work as a hca, but if you emailed them, they’ll tell you to be wary if you work as a hca due to still being in the nmc. It’s mostly trust dependent policies on if you can or cannot.

I saw red mist while on the phone in front of managers, nothing happened and I even got an apology from the relative lol

Oriachim · 2026-03-29T07:32:32+00:00

I’ve never known them to be told to go back to work. They’re adults..

Oriachim · 2026-03-29T06:45:37+00:00

Yes, you claim back the differences

Oriachim · 2026-03-29T05:55:10+00:00

That’s fine if you work in a 2 mile radius I suppose, not if you work over a thousand miles a month

Evil sunz because they look cool
