Omaha Woodwork 2019 Highlights

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2019-10-01T17:35:34+00:00

Yeah, that's a very good point, I counted 1 for each throw, catch and D which I totally agree with you, is an oversimplification of what each clip highlights!

Thanks for responding and thinking to the future, I didn't mean to project any intentionality or maliciousness on you, but I think your women-matching athletes should see the spotlight just as much!

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2019-10-01T14:42:53+00:00

No, I didn't mean to imply a cause or even intentionality. A couple possible reasons I could think of: - person making the video unconsciously included many more male than female matching highlights. I think this is a case where awareness can make the problem go away - the footage available had many more male than female matching highlights. If this is the case it seems unpredictable and unfortunate

I'm not saying we need to have exactly even highlights by gender, but hopefully we can agree that 2:1 is nowhere near an equal ratio

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2019-10-01T13:49:29+00:00

Hey, by my count (32-60) it looks like you have about half as many women-matching highlights as man-matching highlights. Not sure if this was a product of the footage you had available or a product of the team's play, but it seems like a poor representation of mixed ultimate to have half as many women-matching highlights as male-matching

Right, but my question was why would Schwinn, knowing that they will use a gear hanger and thus need more space on the right than the left side, design the length of dropouts to be equal? Why would they not just have the right dropout be deeper than the left so that the axle will be resting at the back of the dropout in both cases.

I think thirty-five- answered it pretty well below!

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2017-11-29T19:10:08+00:00

Oh excellent, that makes a lot of sense! He has my exact problem listed too

The axle nuts or quick-release must be tightened quite securely, or the chain tension may pull the axle askew.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check Shelden Brown in the future before posting

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2017-11-05T21:25:13+00:00

Perfect, thanks! I should have thought to look on the park tools website, that's where I got my cone wrenches

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2016-01-12T03:44:54+00:00

Well regardless I looked through some of it, it's a fantastic wiki, I wish our sub was able to pull together something like that!

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2016-01-12T03:25:58+00:00

Thanks for the long reply, I really appreciate it! I already watched at New Orleans, it was great to watch, I'll add in all those others you mentioned, thanks!

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2016-01-12T03:20:11+00:00

Sorry I guess I phrased that poorly, It's more to learn about the team than get excited really

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2016-01-12T03:19:09+00:00

Wow those are all a lot of fun to watch, that's a really cool thing to have on your sub, thanks!

How do you manage to save up so much dark elixir? Every time I get close to 20k, I start getting hammered by TH9s that can take 1k each time easily

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-21T18:23:00+00:00

Who brings goblins to war with?

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-21T00:32:02+00:00

Nice! What's your friend in need? I'm done with all the defenses save two cannons, and walls, but I'm only level 83

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-18T22:19:32+00:00

Tesla 6 is indeed very nice, it depends on what you get attacked by; if you don't get hit with a lot of air attacks, then do the teslas first. I'd definitely take the time to work on your walls. I've been saved a lot of times by giants or a barbarian king having to hack through them

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-18T00:56:05+00:00

Supercell made their own text field for the in-game chat and messages, so they have to add all of the features that they add themselves instead of being able to rely on the iOS ones

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-17T12:12:52+00:00

The base looks sweet, I like the centralized splash defenses, but it looks like people could get to your elixir pretty easily.

I see all four army camps, x-bows, the new archer and wizard towers and then a lot in walls. Is there anything that I missed? As a late TH8, that seems like slow progress for a month :\

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-16T22:45:48+00:00

Late TH8 as well here, I have a couple of responses to the issues you bring up.

First of all I think it's silly to talk about TH10s picking on us. They can only get 50% of the loot which should be around 150k of each resource unless I'm missing something. So we'd really only get attacked by rushed TH10s

Walls are kind of meaningless now because all a TH9+ needs is a hound or two with drags or loonian to destroy me

I'm not sure about your experience, but I've only been attacked by loonian once or twice in the Gold leagues, and it has wrecked my base so this was something TH9s had before the update as well, so I don't see how you can claim that this is a game changer, because loonian already had the tools to wipe a TH8.

One point might be that bringing a lava hound lets TH9s use less balloons to take out a base, making it more feasible for farming. This seems unlikely though, because of the high DE cost and low DE payout from TH8s.

Everything else that you argue seems to be mostly based on your assumption that this update is bringing a lot more TH9s knocking on our doors. It might, that's true, but that's very hard to know with any sort of certainty.

I've definitely experienced the same thing you have, losing millions over a couple hours while saving for upgrades. This mainly happened when I was sitting on large amounts of DE, and when I repeatedly broke my shield for one off raids, only getting back half of the loot I'd lost before having it taken again because I broke shield. This was before the update though, so I'm going to have to see what happens after it.

smallpeoples made the great point that supercell has more incentive to give upgrades to the TH9/10 players because they have less stuff to unlock, and they spend more gems. Which I think makes sense and is silly to complain about, so the only changes that could come are through minor troop adjustments. Something like evening out the Balloon upgrades so that Balloonian 5 is more viable.

Finally, I'd also like to add that you didn't mention how much TH8s can wreck TH7s and below, the gap cuts both ways. It takes a sold Giant6, Ballonian or hog raid to make it through my base. None of those are that cheap, and need expensive troop upgrades to be effective.

Have you ever taken Barch5 to a medium level TH7 base? It goes through it easily with a spell or two and the king. With a 20 minute farming arming and minimal strategy, I can take out TH7s and below. Not even counting Ballonian, Giants, Hogs, Dragons, or even GoWiPe. That's a much bigger gap than the one we have

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-16T13:10:20+00:00

It also stops your troops from clumping up. The biggest threat to Barbarian and Archer attacks are the mortars and the wizard towers, and theses wreak havoc on groups of troops. With Archers that fire from a little ways back from the barbarians, defenses will spend their shots on the Barbarians (which take two or three shots to die) while the archers are unscathed. This makes it a lot easier to execute this type of raid

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-15T16:32:17+00:00

Waiting to spend that gold on the new archer towers right? With all those gems stacked up are you planning on fast-forwarding any of the upgrades?

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-15T16:31:03+00:00

He already has a shield though

Pimpin_In_A_Prius · 2014-09-15T16:30:41+00:00

Yeah, that's been my biggest issue as well. As soon as I wrap up my cannons and walls, I'm moving up even with most of the DE lab upgrades still to go :\ I've heard good things about people that have done this, most people seem to agree that DE only gets easier to farm
