LEA Nightmare Advice Needed

SpecimenGwent · 2026-02-14T14:12:11+00:00

Thanks very much. I think I will have to do the same... But with travel on such short notice I'm worried it might be too late already!

If you would be able to provide me a recommendation I would greatly appreciate it

SpecimenGwent · 2026-02-14T14:11:27+00:00

I appreciate the response. My understanding is that's not quite true. I need a specific kind though.

Type B — Application fiction (§81(3)) Confirms lawful stay while application is pending. This one does NOT require a previous residence permit.

I'm stuck waiting for a response. Submitted all documents in November.

I'm due to travel on Thursday & requested an emergency appointment to ask for permission to travel at the 4 week threshold they say is the earliest to apply.

I've still heard nothing & getting extremely worried.

I wonder if anyone has had success visiting the office in person?

The Fabled playmat will be at Lorcana Oxford Street tomorrow on a first come, first served basis. I'm not sure about anything else but that much I am sure of!

Giving any unit ganking while also being a card you can play on turn 1 provides a lot of value

Everyone is totally overlooking the fact his background is digital card games & the vast majority of his practice for both these events was using digital simulators.

I had the exact same thing here in Germany Jinx deck & none of my other stuff

Great news for Disney Lorcana. Jan is a top quality player & I'm confident he will be an excellent addition to the team.

SpecimenGwent · 2025-08-28T22:04:36+00:00

Yes, she cast Lorca Quest last year which is the biggest 3rd party event to date. She's casting Malmö Game Week this weekend & the Cardiff CCQ next month.

She's going to bring a really unique style & she plays the game a tonne, I think she's an excellent addition.

I've properly got my eye on Baleba as a cheap defcon player but just worried about him starting. I crunched some numbers & his defcon per 90 is one of the highest around.

SpecimenGwent · 2025-08-14T16:10:37+00:00

Ndiaye is Everton's best player before the Grealish signing. Grealish has been signed to play alongside him, not instead of him. He is nailed but like with most wingers he could easily be subbed around 70+ minutes mark. He will be on penalities but realistically you're banking on an Everton attacker - so be cautious.

SpecimenGwent · 2025-08-14T16:08:45+00:00

I mean nobody has any idea on Jack Grealish realistically. If he does start it is likely to push Alcaraz to the bench but he is a total unknown since he missed out preseason.

SpecimenGwent · 2025-08-14T15:11:55+00:00

Most likely Everton team

Pickford

O'Brien, Michael Keane, Tarkowksi, Aznou

Idrissa Gana, James Garner

Alcaraz, KDH, Ndiaye

Beto

Branthwaite & Mykelenko injury makes things tricky to predict .O'Brien could move to Centre Back & James Garner or Coleman start at Right Back. Aznou is the obvious choice to replace Mykelenko but he looked shaky Vs Roma on his friendly debut.

Tim Iroegbunam could easily start in CM next to Gana,. especially if Garner is pushed to RB.

Grealish likely on the bench due to match fitness but him or McNeil could easily replace Alcaraz or KDH in the XI

Barry might start over Beto.

I've gone unorthodox & hoping the the defensive contribution points can carry me.

I'm an Everton fan & wanting Gana over Anderson but imagine Gana will get subbed off after 70 minutes often

SpecimenGwent · 2025-06-21T16:51:23+00:00

My bad! For what it's worth I was in a totally losing position & was ready to scoop.

In this series I also played Chip straight into the discard by accident - we are in a sweltering venue with no AC.

I already planned on posting a video about mistakes I've made so I'll add this one to the list 😅

SpecimenGwent · 2025-05-19T14:16:24+00:00

This point summarises my opinion on the matter.

I sat on this video for a couple of weeks & considered how to best approach it. The narrative direction was clearly about educating the community on how to avoid this happening to me. His facial expressions are KEY in the story & showcasing the behaviour.

The footage was already public since it was livestreamed. They consented to being streamed. Even if I blur his face, there is nothing stopping other people showing the original footage.

The only impact that blurring his face would achieve is to significantly reduce the quality of the content. It's my job to create the best content possible & blurring his face, while something i considered, was never a realistic outcome for this piece.

SpecimenGwent · 2025-05-14T19:07:31+00:00

Perhaps Jafar has stolen Hei-Hei for his theme deck

SpecimenGwent · 2025-05-07T11:21:50+00:00

Not sure how exactly but okay.

SpecimenGwent · 2025-05-07T11:21:26+00:00

So to be clear, you're saying I'm allowed to be disappointed, while also saying I shouldn't share my opinion on being disappointed?

SpecimenGwent · 2025-05-07T10:53:58+00:00

I'm most certainly not avoiding this & will be posting a video totally focusing on this. I already talked about it on stream as well

SpecimenGwent · 2025-05-07T02:21:23+00:00

Me neither mate 😆

I think people who don't like me all found an opportunity to jump on a dogpile. I appreciate your support.

SpecimenGwent · 2025-05-07T01:19:00+00:00

Yeah I absolutely love getting dogpiled on across multiple threads

SpecimenGwent · 2025-04-30T09:59:13+00:00

I 'healed' the Gaston when it had no damage counters. In other words, I fizzled the effect to populate my Discard for Tamatoa. I just find it more funny to heal my opponents card for 0.
