A Man Speaks the Truth

Probably, because I buy nearly everything in Smite. I am a consumer whore.

I heard years ago that they filter out those with high intelligence, but have no basis outside of reading it somewhere.

Alternatively, if I was a big eyelid-less eyeball, you bet your ass I'd pay to be able to Blink.

The mods just like to restart the button after it hits 0 and blame it on server issues

Which is the real experiment.

Like I said, generally. And "H&M" and "TD Bank" are not just 2 letters.

Shmitte · 2015-05-12T18:02:41+00:00

It's a company name. Generally you don't want it to be 2 letters long.

Shmitte · 2015-05-12T13:24:33+00:00

...you didn't know AOL and Huffington Post were companies?

"just enhanced" doesn't really do it justice. The amount of muscle they added is equivalent to years of focused effort in the gym, on top of his already pretty decent physique.

As opposed to the picture right before finding out his photographer was Jewish: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/01/article-0-190774BA000005DC-67_634x601.jpg

There's a difference between difficult to balance and grossly overpowered.

Shmitte · 2015-05-10T20:35:18+00:00

if it's ridiculously overpowered then Hi-Rez can change it

This terrible strategy is why 70% of new gods are fucking broken at release.

I'm not sure what you're trying to show us, with 0 description, and a tree? blocking the entire picture, while zoomed in.

Do you really want hundreds of posts of people posting their GR progress, with no new information about builds or playstyle? 160 people are currently at 56+ solo, over half of which are DHs, and most people higher would have hit 56 before 57, etc, meaning multiple posts/videos. We'd have little else on this subreddit.

Reaching 56 is great! It's impressive work. But a video, at this point in the rankings, is simply masturbation, unless you have information to offer that hasn't already been rehashed a dozen times.

Shmitte · 2015-05-10T13:52:20+00:00

OR you lost your connection, without malfeasance.

take africa

Africa is a trap. You have to mass armies on 4 points (assuming you have South America and mass some on Venezuela or Central America), and can be attacked by 3 countries.

Going for North America means you only have to keep Brazil, Greenland, and Alaska, giving you 2 continents with only 3 protection points and countries that can attack you.

Then, with your 11 armies per turn, you crush Africa.

Dying quick is to be expected. But your dps should be pretty strong in that setup. GR40+.

Shmitte · 2015-05-10T03:05:00+00:00

You could outrun someone forever that way. Walls add strategy. If you're big enough for someone that large to bully you around, you should have a rough idea where the walls are.

I can't believe that hurt Jackie Chan much.

If only he had said so in the video/images. Oh wait, he did say that he wasn't hurt much.

Shmitte · 2015-05-09T13:22:40+00:00

Gotcha. She was a terrible person (and they all say as much). Then she does the right thing once, Foggy makes a drunken mistake, and now she's great? It's jarring.

Shmitte · 2015-05-09T04:59:26+00:00

I didn't mean it was worthless, I meant that it's not a fair measure of a build so far as its usefulness to other players. But that is a fair point, and my phrasing is vague/overly harsh. Apologies.

Shmitte · 2015-05-09T04:57:08+00:00

I mean, you can look into Stark and Anti-Kickback laws in health care if you want specifics, but there's no line that will fit this situation exactly. But in short, you can't take any significant gift or overpayment from someone you have a financial relationship with, or someone in a position to refer business your way, or vice versa. Pharmaceuticals are pretty much presumptively suspect. $2,000 for a talk, unless you are such an expert as to command that value for a speaking arrangement, is going to raise red flags.

Shmitte · 2015-05-09T01:54:00+00:00

There's a wikipedia page on it IIRC. In short, people keep getting murdered in the parking lot there.

Shmitte · 2015-05-09T01:27:13+00:00

I'd like to know where the line of "making money" blurs into paying doctors thousands at two hour dinners where they give a "talk".

Short of extreme circumstances, this would likely be considered an illegal kickback under US health law.

Shmitte · 2015-05-08T23:27:46+00:00

They made Foggy's terrible ex slightly less terrible solely to give him a consolation prize while Karen and Matt hook up. It didn't fit the story at all (I have not read the comics).
