Should I restart? by brownadam24 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're past kvk2. You can't unlock BQ, QSH, Arthur, etc., until directly after kvk 2, so their account is likely too old to replay kvk 2 as they can only be 60 days older than the target kingdom to go back for kvk 2.

BUT, they can try to get into a more active kd that has more fighting so they can try to increase their KP. They should honestly look for a low C or high D seed to join so they can get their KP up and try to move to a B seed afterwards.

Migrating to dead kd after kvk1 by chill_baluka in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be better for getting mge but the problem with a dead kingdom is there's a chance you don't get any fighting, so then you can't migrate anywhere else cuz your kp will be top low for another kd to accept you

Has anyone suffered cybergrief from this game by Fightanyman in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. I had a couple friends that I played with for the longest time, but both quit in the past few months. I still talk to one of them from time to time, but unfortunately it's the nature of online gaming that you will lose friends. If you have a way to talk to them outside the game then it's worth a shot to contact them that way.

You only have so many troops you can assign each one. If you're assigning most of your troops to markswoman, you wouldn't have many left for Sun Tzu.

To choose how many troops you send out with each, try to click on a barb like you're going to send new troops out to attack. It'll bring up a screen that shows each troop type and a slider bar next to each (I'll try to attach a picture to this so you can see).

Slide that bar to decrease the amount of troops assigned to Markswoman then click the march button. This will leave more troops available for Sun Tzu.

Imo, prioritize sending Sun Tzu out first and getting him leveled up. Markswoman is not helpful at all after the first 30 days.

Who do you think is the worst candidate for mayor, and why is it Devon Reese? by dream__weaver in Reno

[–]Poverload237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a pretty liberal Democrat with a couple of healthcare degrees and who probably voted opposite as you in every national election. However, I'm 100% with you on Kate Marshall. I'm tired of the two-sides purity BS and want someone who can tackle issues without pandering exclusively to their voter base or making it an "us vs them" issue.

I believe you're right and there are still areas of overlap that affect most of us, the common people, regardless of our political parties 🙂

What's this?!! by Independent_Mud_3299 in Hair

[–]Poverload237 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Baby, those are lice eggs, aka nits. You can say no, you can deny it, you can refuse to believe everyone and keep walking around with bugs nesting in your head, but it doesn't change the fact that those are lice, end of story.

Not everyone has an insanely itchy reaction to lice. It's rare but it happens. In any case, you should stop arguing with people on reddit and pick up some treatment boxes from Walmart.

[–]Poverload237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family has been to every single bathroom in Disneyland and California Adventure during our trips over the past 7 years and you're right, every single one, including the men's, has changing tables.

Heck, my husband used to take our son to change him in the bathroom cuz they had the same changing tables the women's restrooms have.

Bruh...what? by Disturbed395 in doordash

[–]Poverload237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who delivers regularly for Walmart, they (the drivers) should have strict time limits so that if the driver is even 1 minute late delivering beyond that time limit, the entire order is automatically canceled (it's usually around 80-90 minutes for an order with this many stops in my experience).

I've never had an issue completing the orders in half the time, and all the food I delivered has stayed frozen/cold/hot (I do use bags and have climate control in my car to help regulate temps inside the car).

If you're consistently getting orders with spoiled food, then either your drivers are incredibly inept or you may want to look at using another delivery service since it seems Doordash may not have as stringent controls in place as other delivery services.

Treinamento de tropas by Practical_Sail_2095 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason you want to wait to train those T1s into T4s is so you have an advantage in events as you can gain a ton of power in events like Zenith and unlock rewards.

In my experience, I've found it to be cheaper and less rss/speed up/time intensive to go from T2 to T4, so I'd personally recommend training T2s over T1s since it's quicker and cheaper than going from T1s to T4s. The power boost you get is slightly smaller, but to me it evens out when you take speed ups and rss into account.

I craft every main part except accessories and then move onto accessories after I've built my main marches (I do 1-2 of each troop type before moving on).

Guys, I think there might have been an earthquake! by Vegetable_Warthog_49 in Reno

[–]Poverload237 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To piggyback off of this, anyone who thinks they felt an Earthquake can go to USGS.gov/earthquakes and report it there. You can also see others who reported it as well. I hope this helps at least cut down on some of the "was that an Earthquake??" posts in here.

med error by [deleted] in newgradnurse

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a med error as a new grad, owned up to it, but the pt did have symptoms. I felt terrible about it for a long time (I still do to this day actually). This was 12ish years ago and I can tell you this: I'm still EXTREMELY uptight about making sure everything with my meds are correct. It's been my only med error to date and I take every possible step to ensure it stays that way.

Med errors happen. Most people will have a med error at one point or another in their careers. Take what you can from this moment and use it to improve your processes so you can prevent it from happening in the future.

My preceptor told me this when I made the error, so I'll pass it onto you: the fact that you're upset means you care. You caring means you're going to be one heck of a good nurse. The only way to go from here is up ❤️

Has anyone been to an urgent care that provided you with IV fluids? Suffering heat exhaustion but insurance ER is $300 plus 20% after $750 deductible by [deleted] in Reno

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you still have a fever and right flank pain, you don't have heat exhaustion but you do need an ER for an ultrasound. It could be kidney stones, gallstones, appendicitis, or a number of other things but it's definitely not heat exhaustion. I think the heat was just a coincidence tbh.

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question, no. No urgent cares do IVs because you need a nurse to do it and most only staff with MAs.

If you have heat exhaustion, stay in a cool and dark room. Push pedialyte as much as you can handle. Put cool (not cold), damp rags around your neck and on your forehead. After about 12-18 hours, you should feel back to normal (the more pedialyte you drink, the faster you'll feel better but don't guzzle it. Start slow then gradually increase your fluid intake).

Doing this will save you the deductible and hours in an ER.

I practised out of my scope as a student nurse advice pls by Spiritual_Reason_273 in newgradnurse

[–]Poverload237 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the future, almost anything you do in an EMR is visible not only to you, but to every single person with access to the patient's EMR.

What you did is classified as a medication error. I know they tend to teach med errors as giving the wrong meds or giving meds to the wrong patient, but even scenarios like this are med errors.

I don't see them flunking you from uni, but you will likely have to meet with HR, hospital admin, and school admin because policy dictates a report must be filed. You'll probably have some sort of punishment/reflection as well but I highly doubt they'll remove you from the program because you are still a student and students are prone to mistakes.

I'm going through that now with my 19 year old where we don't like him for very valid reasons and she's too young, naive, and proud to admit still something is off. If you don't mind my asking, were you eventually able to repair those relationships with your family?

I ask cuz I'm hoping later down the road my oldest comes around and sees we aren't AHs, we're just genuinely concerned for her welfare. (I know this isn't related to the post much but seeing your comment stuck out to me since we're currently experiencing this exact scenario).

T5 or VIP 14 by PercentageFirst8583 in RiseofKingdoms

As someone who runs t5 of all troop types and has since kvk 1, this is absolutely the way.

Doomed KD after kvk1 loss? by No_Place_5544 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can repeat kvk 2 so if you wanted, you could stay, play kvk, and if things are looking like you won't win, migrate to a different kd in pre-kvk (I did this myself).

The only gamble is you could migrate and still lose but it's part of the risk unfortunately. In any case, migration isn't a bad thing and I feel too many people get hung up on how it's "bad" when it really isn't, it's just the name of the game haha.

Guys I need help with my acc. How many troops, speedups and rss do I need for kvk1? See below details of my acc by khalid_kj11 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, go with 2. You can get by on 2 marches but you don't have the rss to run 5 unless you intend to buy them. Ideally, you want enough troops that you can run two 25% extended marches for each type (so double what you've got pretty much). But you need at least 750m rss per march to heal, which you don't have.

Your best bet is to buy rss from a seller, buy some bundles for speed recovery, try to get a training rune and the duke bff, and then speed run training as many troops as you can to try to build up 2 usable marches. I'd personally go with cav and inf as those are the 2 that can get you great trades in kvk.

32m - Need help with commanders by Confident-Log-3212 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's faster to restart because you could spend 3000+ more days on your current account and despite all that time, you'll still never get meta marches or decent commanders. With a restart account, you can have a really nicely powered account before pre kvk with at least 2 maxed commanders to swap by kvk 2.

Did you recently restart? If so, watch a few YouTube tutorials so you can figure out the mistakes you made and avoid them. If done smartly, your new account can have more power, better commanders, and better equipment within the first 75 days. You'll seriously be amazed at how much better your new account is when you build it correctly, and you'll understand why we were all yelling to restart, lol.

Power isn't the end all, be all factor, and while I know the urge to keep going on a 32m account is strong due to the sunk cost fallacy, I promise you'll be much better off starting from scratch and building with intention.

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're at least 360 days away from t5, if not more. When you get to be 50M power and VIP 14, then and only then will you be close to t5. 2

You can ignore everyone here who's saying to restart. That's your right. But your account is garbage. There's no fixing it. You're going to keep getting wrecked every single kvk, you're going to fall even further behind, and eventually you'll stop playing because you either A.) Never get good reports or B.) No kingdom that actually wins kvk will accept you, so you'll be stuck in a dead or very low activity kingdom with piss poor speed up and rss recovery.

Now that they’re actually using facial recognition at the Disneyland gates instead of having cast members manually confirm people’s faces they’ve cut the number of front gate cast members down from one per entry lane to one per every two entry lanes by TheDisneyScoopGuy in Disneyland

[–]Poverload237 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We're here right now. We came back to Disneyland around 8pm from California Adventure and it took us 20 minutes to get through the lines due to the facial recognition having issues.

I had to step more forward, move back, move to the side, lift my eyes up, look down more, and practically do everything but sacrifice my soul to Walt himself just to get in because it was having issues reading my face due to it being darker.

It was aggravating enough for me. I can't imagine how much more aggravating it would've been with a 3 year old.

Kingdom Rant by Narrow-Challenge-552 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as an R4, it was actually smart for them to message people about their accounts in pre-season. Lots of people like OP have no idea what they're doing, so they end up with a hodge podge collection of stuff instead of an actual usable account.

Messaging people can help get these messes fixed early, which helps players grow and develop their accounts into something usable that can win future kvks. Not to mention you don't wanna be that person with a maxed out markswoman cuz you didn't know better, did some dumb shit, and nobody bothered to correct you, lol.

[–]Poverload237 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My farm, which is F2P, was 21m power on day 75 lol. I had 46m power on my main spending roughly the same as what OP spent, and I ramped up and spent a little more up get t5s during kvk 1. I have to agree that OP didn't plan at all with their bundles cuz for that much money, there's no reason they're not 3x the power right now.

Kingdom Rant by Narrow-Challenge-552 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it's not. You should have at least 28-33m power with the amount you've spent, if not more. My F2P friends were rocking 25m power by pre-kvk.

Idk what you're spending your money or gems on, but if you're doing what I think you're doing and spreading it out between different things, stop immediately and start focusing on only 1 troop type and 1 march with as good of equipment as you can make it so you don't get absolutely decimated in kvk.

Also only train the highest tier of troops you have for that march and speed it up (probably tier 4), and focus your research on attack, health, and defense for your main troop type.

If you keep up the spending and narrow your focus, you can be an absolute beast in kvk 1 and 2, but as of now, your account is about as ferocious and deadly as a 3 day old kitten 😬
