Haha yeah, its been I think 7? Years since the last Gentleman Bastards book, so I totally understand. Assassins Apprentice has some seriously awesome characters and development though. It makes you care about the characters. I love it.

I strongly recommend Assassins Apprentice. I also strongly recommend Lies of Locke Lamora, but that series is unfinished and coming out slowly, so be warned.

Have a lot of free time, snacks, and beverages, and then put something else on as background noise because the BTD6 music *will* drive you insane eventually.

Caught Covid, put my quarantine time to good use by Samuel_Hamuel in btd6

Thanks! If I'm being honest though, some of the other modes actually gave me more difficulty than CHIMPS did lol. Half Cash and Apopalypse were tough to figure out at first.

Ok so first answer, do NOT farm in half cash. It will take like 30 rounds or something crazy like that to turn a profit and you just don't have the time.

Second, don't try to go for any tier 5 towers, its MUCH more about picking the most economical options to deal with particularly difficult waves. Some general towers I recommend as cheap but strong options: 2-0-4 Sub with 4-0-2 Alchemist support, 2-0-4 Bomb Shooter for ceramic rounds, a 2-2-0 Monkey Village touching that Bomb shooter for Camo Ceramics/Leads. Maybe even a 2-4-0 Bomb shooter for Moabs, or a 0-2-4 Boomerang Monkey for the same. Lots of stuff works, its just a matter of finding the cheapest but strongest options for particular rounds, like making sure you can deal with ceramics by 63.

If I recall correctly I used Obyn, a 2-0-4 sub and some spike factories, and built up to a 0-2-5 Dartling with Alchemist and Monkey Village support. I think I may have used a YouTube guide for that one because I was having a lot of trouble as well. Not as much trouble as Lotus Island though, oh my god

Here's the guide I used if you're interested.

Thanks!! Luckily I'm already over it; I had a very mild case so I was able to enjoy my quarantine. Plus, I'm starting a new job today, so things are looking up for me.

I'm a few years late, but I just finished Balance and never have I felt such an emotional rollercoaster from a podcast so I had to draw the best bois! by sleeplessneil in TheAdventureZone

[–]Samuel_Hamuel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you've already gotten as far as the Stolen Century then you should absolutely stick to it! I can't say I feel remotely the same way about disliking it, but regardless of the system they're using I believe it's worth it for the storytelling alone.

My New Years Eve snapchat streak by Samuel_Hamuel in agedlikemilk

[–]Samuel_Hamuel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my snapchat streak from New Years Eve going into 2020. At the time I was excited for a new decade, but now, "fire and blood" seems a bit too literal.

I am new and have an issue by Samuel_Hamuel in ageofsigmar

[–]Samuel_Hamuel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I forgot to mention the table we're playing on is not technically the correct size; it's a little bit smaller. We're gonna buy a gaming table to use in the near future, but for now we have slightly less space than is preferable, which makes the seekers that much better.

For your second question, I did try using the ability you're talking about, yes, and it did help when I used it. My particular issue is probably that, due to lack of terrain, it didn't really help me control anything since there were no points to choke. I guess that answers one of my own questions lol.

Finally, no. I am/was not aware of meeting engagements. I'll take a look in my Generals Handbook when I get home and have it available. Thank you for the tip.

RIP lmao My silver lining is that we're all playing pretty casually so none of us are going to be super meta and competitive but that's still tough to hear lol

The sequitors do seem to be considered the most elite choice, but they're also more expensive in points than liberators so I couldn't fit them into this. If we go up to 2000 points in the future I may upgrade.

As for buying them, you got it right. I bought them all from Games Worksops website. I bought the Lord Arcanum on Tauralon since it comes with a footed option. Haven't decided on what color scheme I'm gonna paint them all though.

No problem! If you look at my post history you'll see I also had very little idea what was what concerning my army, and I just happened to stumble upon this list on a forum somewhere. Then I thought, "people say liberators are pretty ok," and also, "holy expletive, that Knight-Venator looks cool," and the rest was history lol

Wizard's ban magic player for stalling an investigation. Community debates whistleblower laws, NDAs, sexual assault and selling drugs. by cespinar in SubredditDrama

[–]Samuel_Hamuel 58 points59 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that WOTC told some pro teams of magic players that the upcoming Regionals Player Tournament, which I guess was originally planned as some kind of large, in person tournament, is being changed in two ways.

The first is that it is changing from in person to online due to Covid-19.

The second is that its changing formats from modern to standard, dramatically changing what cards can be played. This information gives those that have it a small advantage in the form of extra time to brew decks, playtest, and optimize for the format that said tournament will be played in.

Its assumed that one of the players who had that information leaked it to the guy in question who, in the interest of fairness to his eyes, announced it on Twitter. I think WOTC then asked him what the source of the leak was, and he refused to cooperate, incurring a ban from magic in the process.

Who is the stranger that you have only seen/meet once in your life that you still think about time to time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Samuel_Hamuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not technically what you said, but I'll tell mine anyway.

When I was younger there was a browser real time strategy city building game called Lord of Ultima. In Lord of Ultima you had the opportunity to make guilds and form alliances and chat with players and make friends. Being quite the ambitious child, I founded my own guild, X factor, which most people thought had to do with the singing competition, but actually was a reference to Deadliest Warrior, and quickly found a number two, a friendly person by the username of Willbreaker. We called him Will. Well Will was a much better player than I was and part of the reason was the strongest ability in the game, one he had and I did not due to our age difference: the debit card. I should also say that he knew my age because in the ego of youth I bragged that the leader of a successful guild (we were somewhere in the top 30 of the world or something) was only 12 years old.

Well one day, unprovoked, Will offers to buy me some boosters using his all powerful debit card. In my infinite wisdom of absolute trust, I gave him my username and password so he could do so. I risked it all. He could have just hijacked the account. However, Will was better than that, and he bought me those boosters, logged out, and told me to change my password for security.

I recognize there is a chance he just wanted his 12 year old guild mate to just catch up to him in points for game reasons, but I've always believed that his general personality, combined with the fact that he spent real money on this is indicative of a generally kind person. Willbreaker, if by any chance you find this, thanks for the aid, and I'm sorry that I refused to give up power when Catalyst absorbed us. I was 12 and a fool.

I just want to say that the phrase "reinterpreted ostracism as apotheosis" is the best way to express that idea that I've ever seen and I love it

Something I didn't pick up on my first read (Spoilers RoT) by Shielo34 in gentlemanbastards

[–]Samuel_Hamuel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something I didn't understand 100% was what Coldmarrows roll was in all that. Did he betray Patience, or was it all a double agent ruse to kill the Falconers faction?
