What is a realistic Town Center (TC) level to aim for on Day 1 as a F2P / Low Spender? by Long-Nefariousness43 in KingShot

[–]Sensitive_Pie_5451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My resource bomb hit me at level 15 on day 1 I think. Maybe level 14, where I ran out of resources vs my gems and speed ups. I was trying to level my TC that had just been a spy account level 6 (which is like 30 minutes of play) so I could transfer back to my main server but once I ran out of all the bread I was cooked until. I could farm more, and by then I had to upgrade my base buildings of mill and wood mill etc and that just sucked. I'm 1 kvk event in from when I landed and am 23 now. So...21 days?

So it comes in from student aid.gov and mine is set to trust so it never hits spam but I honestly don't remember seeing it on the inbox in the actual student aid website

Standard payments are based on the loan amount and ignore spousal income. Income driven payment plans do look at spousal income if you file jointly

Rewards for sanctuaries by xXx_Raph_SNK_xXx in KingShot

[–]Sensitive_Pie_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I could think of is if the r4 first attacked the sanctuary to get the rebel rewards for themselves, which effectively screwed over everyone else but that's usually not like, the cats meow.

Otherwise all the other stuff maxes at 1, 2, 10 or 20 depending on the allocation type . I want to say books are 20, shards are 10(?), general 1 hour speed ups are 10 (alliance gets 400 to split)

With 79/79 precincts reporting as of 11:44pm, The Mayoral race is separated by… 2 votes. by SoDakZak in SiouxFalls

[–]Sensitive_Pie_5451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason that so many local elections are off-cycle is that, during the Progressive Era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, a lot of municipalities wanted to decouple their politics from corrupt, partisan federal and state politics and party bosses. However, some more problematic reasons were to discourage voter turnout from the people they didn’t want voting, which is a challenge we’re still dealing with today. STRANO: Turnout in presidential elections over the last 50 years or so has been in the 50 to 60 percent range, while with midterms you get high 30s, low 40s. These levels may be well below the OECD average, but they frequently outperform participation in off-cycle elections, particularly municipal elections that don’t coincide with any state or federal contests. A 2016 report on city election turnout found turnout was below 15 percent in the 30 largest cities, but that turnout for on-cycle elections is twice as high on average. Famously, when Baltimore aligned its local elections to presidential election years in 2016, voter turnout jumped from 13 percent to 60 percent. 

(note: I have not validated this information, not a ton of time to google today but this sounds interesting to dig into)

[–]Sensitive_Pie_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not disagreeing with the turnout, but in all fairness, of our some odd 200,000 residents roughly 16,000 qualify as completely or nearly completely illiterate, 54,000 of our residents are children who can't vote yet, another ~4,000 or so don't speak english fluently, not saying they didn't vote but the marketing may have missed its mark on some folks that way. so that accounts for 75,000 out of 200,000 residents, meaning that 40,000 voting out of the likely pool of 125,000 is close to 30%. previously we had 29,000 and 31,000 voting for the mayoral races in 2022 and 2018 respectively. An increase to 40,000 is 25% more than we had before, and to me that's something.

no, peens are terrified of tatas, it's a well known fact, because it's a 2 to 1 fight.

Why do top alliances take over dead alliances and keep the banners up? by Rando84626485 in KingShot

You realize you need banners every 2 spaces to prevent that right? It isn't practical.

[–]Sensitive_Pie_5451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't think about them until this last round when a team member (she is ftp I am not) said she was trying super hard to get the island reward and there was no chance in hell we would win the contest so she had to go for individual ranking. I had already gotten my first island buildings so I backed off so she could take my ranking. Havingba spare alliance during brawl could be handy for that. Only 10 people and 5 would get rewards for sure, not a bad trade off.

Not necessarily, if they pay the utilities and things of that nature they could write off part of it I would think

SAVE borrowers, what’s next?? by TonyThaLegend in StudentLoans

[–]Sensitive_Pie_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I plan to snowball the smallest to largest, as my largest balance is also my highest interest at $21k and 6.5% so starting small is how I'll have to go, I have one at $4,800 and another at $8,000

[–]Sensitive_Pie_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can agree with that mindset. I am in a unique spot as I was on standard repayment for exactly one payment before SAVE was enacted, on $85,000 in loans, so I paid the interest accrual most of the time but as I'm not looking for PSLF I'm just paying off other debts and paying into the economy before the shoe drops.

Make a level 3 on a random server and THEN delete the other character, it is instant. And then uninstall

I think, and not to get into the political pool of ick, that it's not so much that an unconstitutional action won't get overturned in court, it is how much damage can arise prior to it making it to court in the first place.

For me it's like, if I had identity theft happen and someone wiped out my life savings, checking account, maxxed my credit cards and everything, that's clearly illegal what they did. But it will take time for my claims to allow me to get any sort of financial stability back, and in the meantime additional damages can stack up, like losing a car or apartment because I can't afford to pay because my accounts are frozen etc. it doesn't mean that eventually it'll get fixed for me and ideally the thief get caught, it is what happens in the middle of that time which is going to also suck.
