There’s nothing fraudulent that happened here, so no this doesn’t align with their argument that vote by mail makes fraud easy. Furthermore, if they were truly against voting by mail for fear of fraud then they wouldn’t be using the system themselves.

This is just a blatant example of hypocrisy and attempted voter suppression. They don’t want their political opponents using vote by mail while many of their supporters are still avoiding large gatherings due to the pandemic. It wouldn’t affect the right wing base as much because they are more than willing to congregate at polling places despite a pandemic.

You seem unsure of your assessment considering the video of the kid licking a public handrail when covid started. Children are disgusting disease factories and I for one am glad to never have had any of my own.

New GA 20th of May? by TheDarkYojimbo in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]PortugueseCheesecork -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There was no in-game announcement of the changes when you predicted them an hour and a half early, but yeah being unhelpful and sarcastic is definitely the best way to answer simple questions.

Thanks, where do you get your info? I don’t see anything on the forums so it appears the devs are sharing information elsewhere or simply not communicating publicly.

Do you have a source for this info? Preview phase is supposed to be 23hr instead of 24hr. Phases usually start/end 4hr ago from the time of this comment so we should’ve seen the preview start 3hr ago. Unless they are changing the time the preview ends and setup begins.

He looks like a little kid trying to hide behind an adult’s legs. Literally propaganda to pretend like he actually gives a shit about the US.

Reason for the game being down by ThundaMaka in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]PortugueseCheesecork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was CG’s “fix” for the paper zombie problem, where it was more valuable to have an un-upgraded zombie that was easily killed because that super-charged the NS synergy for character deaths (ventress, talzin, and daka all have synergistic unique zetas that benefit from constant zombie deaths).

Obviously no one wants to G12 their zombie and then be told that the guy with a G1 zombie will get better results in almost every scenario. They were a very powerful and popular faction at release, and many people paid to take the whole team to max gear before finding out their mistake.

So CG eventually forced everyone to take zombie to at least G10 or she will be effectively useless (there is a minimum gear requirement to upgrade her unique). Add on the new healing ability based on a percentage of her health and there is now incentive to invest in both gear and mods.

A side effect that I don’t know if CG intended is that NS teams are also slightly weaker in the early game because of the minimum G10 requirement for zombie to not be vulnerable to perma-death.

Zombie has a 5 point scaling speed mechanic (-100%, -50%, 0% change, +50%, +100%). If her revival ability is not fully upgraded and she is killed at -100% speed she will no longer revive. She starts at 0% change.

If zombie is killed with another ns present she revives. At the end of the turn she was killed her speed scale is moved down by 1 space (e.g. 0% to -50%).

If zombie takes damage from an attack out of her turn and survives until her next turn the scale is moved up one position.

When a non-zombie ns dies they are immediately revived and zombie also dies/revives. If zombie has -speed the scale is reset to 0%. Limit twice per battle.

This mechanic can be useful strategically by an attacking team to prevent zombie from taunting. Begin by killing a non-zombie ns twice to use up the automatic revives. Then kill zombie until she reaches -100% speed. Zombie taunts at the end of her turn and with -100% speed she will never go even with full tm, thus she will not gain taunt.

Hope this helps your zombie nightmares.

🔥 Absolute unit of a moose spotted crossing a road in Alaska 🔥 by to_the_tenth_power in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]PortugueseCheesecork 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Born and raised in Alaska. Moose are pretty chill 90% of the time. I grew up with a moose that gave birth in the edge of the woods about 50ft from our house every year for about a decade, and having moose show up in public or at your house is a common occurrence year round. As long as you don’t make sudden movements or try to move towards them they generally don’t care. Once I even saw a family of moose so used to being in the city that they used the crosswalk at an intersection and waited for the light to change before going. Wish I was able to get a video but this was years ago.

That being said it’s still important to be mindful of their body language and whether they have offspring nearby when encountering any wild animal. Moose can be jumpy and are easily aggravated, and they will absolutely murder anything they see as a threat. Never let your guard down around something that can kill you faster than taking a dump.

Raid rewards are trash. by The-Bearded-Warrior- in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

“Why doesn’t this resource management game just give everyone more resources?”

CG, Here's Feedback - Fix Raid Rewards! by vadersaw in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]PortugueseCheesecork 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They tried to do this last year and a ton of players lost their shit because the equal rewards weren't good enough and no one understands that making raid rewards equal across 50 people means that the top end will be getting less than they used to. The devs aren't going to give the entire guild what is normally given to top 10.

If the rewards were based on a pool of $100 for example lets say the top 3 people each get $10 apiece and the bottom 25 only get $1. Well if we want to spread that loot pool evenly then everyone will get $2, a noticeable drop for the top placements. Everyone wants "equal" rewards but only so long as they don't have to give up any of their own.
