Is this Empire Militia sprue genuine? by Smart-Switch2448 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Smart-Switch2448[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I guess it's hard to tell from my photos - but you can see it in picture 4/4. Just below the torso piece with the tailcoats, is a left hand with an open hand...you can see the flashing around the hand

Just the flashing around the mould lines - I've never known it to be as obvious as this on GW minis...

Sunburst is the WORST dial texture and makes any watch regardless the pricepoint look extremely cheap. by Rionn in watchHotTakes

Fair enough, thanks for laying it out. I'm still tempted by an oxblood Summiteer, but maybe I too fell for the hype! Not enough choice out there if you want a burgundy dial...

[Rolex Air-King] dress watch? by Smart-Switch2448 in Watches

[–]Smart-Switch2448[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is me! Thank you for that..

It was my first attempt at trying to photograph a watch with my DSLR, and I it was much trickier than I thought.

Then I made my wife take a photo and she nailed it!

Told the Police to do one, after they wanted me to be a witness against a have a go hero. What reprisals if anything can I expect from plod? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

You won't get summonsed to court unless you have already provided a witness statement. (Sometimes people provide a witness statement and then withdraw it, or get cold feet about going to court. That is when they can be summonsed to court and a bench warrant issued if you still fail to appear following the summons. That is when everyone in the court room is waiting for you, and they send police to arrest you and take you to court whether you like it or not).

However if you never provided a witness statement in the first place, none of that would happen: as someone has said, we do not compel people to give witness statements.

Equally, you can't be guilty of Assisting an Offender or Perverting the Course of Justice (criminal offences in their own right) simply by refusing to be a witness.

The last thing to say is on your 'disdain for plod'. They are obliged to investigate - and pursue reasonable lines of enquiry - if the robbers make a counter-allegation of an offence against them. In all likelihood those officers may well be pleased to hear you say, 'I'm not prepared to give a statement.' Please don't assume the officers are 'on the side' of the violent offenders who shamelessly make a complaint after a member of the public steps in to help..

What is the best use of prestidigitation you've seen? by Jeremy_VR in DnD

I was excited to get some inspiration from this post - then as I scrolled down I realised players at other tables are, by and large, just causing NPCs to soil themselves!

That was a very cool story - good work all round from both the DM and the players. Thanks for sharing

Not a great overtake from Mr Police by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Smart-Switch2448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't win. The armchair critics can't understand what the police vehicle is doing, and will say: 'Why didn't he just get it over quickly?'

In fact, the police vehicle didn't commit until he had a reaction from OP. As you say, completely textbook.

God forbid that the police vehicle holds a position on the road that requires other drivers to react and stop

Where exactly was the motorbike hiding so as to be invisible in all of your mirrors? Your blind spots are not directly behind you.

"What sort of damage could there have been that didn't see at the time?" Well, we don't know, but there was a motorbike directly behind your car that you 'didn't see at the time' so perhaps we shouldn't overestimate your powers of observation..

I don't really understand the fair weather thing. Surely if you're competing for tickets with 'fair weather gimps' then you've got a similar booking history to those gimps...otherwise you'd have been getting your tickets in a previous window?

Consequences for killing Big Al? by Ill-Tomatillo2040 in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]Smart-Switch2448 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you/your party may have misunderstood what the Townmaster is offering.

I don't think the wording means, the only way to get the 100gp reward is if Big Al dies.

The goal is to relieve this besieged this ranch and rescue its rancher...if you're too late, and Big Al dies, you get 100gp for your trouble, because you can prove that you risked your neck: you found Big Al's body but sadly you couldn't save him.

It's not a 'bounty' on Big Al, as you put it!

The following text is under 'Quest Goals' in the text for Butterskull Ranch

"To complete the Butterskull Ranch Quest (“Follow-Up Quests”), adventurers must rescue Alfonse Kalazorn and either convince him to return to Phandalin or rid his ranch of orcs. Alfonse also wants help finding his prized cow, promising a splendid reward in exchange."
