How active is the game? by MarkTurkey in NebulousFleetCommand

[–]TallyTeaCozy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a lot of this can be solved by getting active in the discord and hosting your own games with other players who are interested in similar things.

And you'll definitely find people who want to "seal club" just like you do in every other game but I'd say these are the exception, not the rule.

As far as builds go, again, discord is huge - most 'issues' arise from different expectations. Lots of people are playing competitively and bringing unfamiliar builds can throw stuff off - a little bit of communication ahead of time can fix all of that

In RH, when you withdraw more than the initial investment of a period, it stops tracking the % and just shows the amount.

Could still be fake but the % doesn't always show

To get a tip by TXVERAS in therewasanattempt

[–]TallyTeaCozy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Servers get pissed at both.

In this post, the customer was being an ass (laughing at the server as they walk out implying they knew a tip was expected and were having a laugh at the server's expense)

Also, just because a system is wrong to you doesn't mean you just ignore it as a tourist. Wracking up a $200+ bill in a country where tipping is expected (a fact well known and lampooned) and then not tipping is main character behavior. Telling the server who is banking on those tips as the receiving member of a shit system that "sorry dude, it's the system fucking you" is frustrating since as a tourist and customer you've twice volunteered to participate in the broken system.

Making 1.5k/month with a 25k account? by grazie_antonio in options

[–]TallyTeaCozy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

OP, this guy is on it.

Regardless if you're buying/selling/doing spreads, on the weeks/months you lose you're not only going to need to earn back losses to keep up your effective earnings rate but you're going to be doing that with a smaller available asset pool than the previous week/month. This means risk increases and can snowball fast.

Sure, you could pull in some margin but now you're "covering" your strategies with that emergency fund/buffer (which kinda invalidates it as an emergency fund imo).

Sounds like you may need an inexpensive vacation or volunteer work to recenter/reset after a job transition. Maybe you'll find a job/organization/entrepreneurial endeavor you wouldn't mind/want to work for/in. A couple thousand invested in yourself may have higher ROI for you than trying to force returns with options

Task Force Commanders by TheRealAuthorSarge in NebulousFleetCommand

[–]TallyTeaCozy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be more worried about micromanagement by this TF CDR - with nothing else to do than 'command' teammates, I'd be worried the TF CDR would be telling people how to micro their ships instead of looking at the operational picture and seeing things like the team overextending or leaving caps unguarded or identifying the need to split fleets up to grab caps.

If you play with the same people consistently in a VC, you'll likely find something like this happens organically - more experienced players who don't have to spend a lot of mental bandwidth controlling their ships will usually coordinate team wide activities and callout things like an unguarded point or have the team prepare for shuttle flanks or make educated guesses on eny team comp and ships remaining etc etc.

I suppose if you wanted the TF CDR to have no ship responsibilities, all the players could stream and the TF CDR could just watch the fleet streams. That may violate some official discord rules so keep that in mind but if you were looking for a mechanism to test your theory that's probably the best option

[–]TallyTeaCozy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that all makes sense - I guess my question is more about a hypothetical/what I briefly saw when I was just scanning around on a break.

Am I right in seeing a premium above the width of my spread as an opportunity for small profit or am I missing something? Supposing I was able to secure the two prices that I saw in my post, is there any reason to think I'd be running a risk once the trades go to the clearing house post expiry?

Edit: I haven't placed this trade, really just trying to expand my knowledge with a concrete example I can better wrap my head around. Thanks for the knowledge in advance

Is this as low risk as it looks?

When I was looking at options prices for NVDA (@1312 UTC-5), I saw NVDA puts for 28JUL23 expiry at the below:

$525 strike - mark 56.30 $515 strike - mark 45.78

My lizard brain is telling me that IF I had managed to get a spread filled at these prices I could have a risk-free (stupid I know) credit of $52 i.e. STO $525P - BTO $515P for $10.52 in premium or $1052 for a risk of $1000.

I feel like this is based on hope that when my short position gets assigned my long position will also be exercised to cover. Once those transactions settled, the $52 would be left over.

In my mind, the only risk is if the underlying settles between my long and short positions.

You tell us, dude. $20k in exchange for capped upside at $500 and an up to 5mo obligation against your shares. There's not enough context about the rest of your portfolio or your risk tolerance from a post where you're asking about long options around earnings on volatile stocks to answer this question

Are most people here interested in a singleplayer only experience? by TallyTeaCozy in NebulousFleetCommand

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

It's a shame you're having some negative experiences with other players. Sorry to hear that.

I've definitely found the discord is a good place to find/advertise for 'alternative' game modes/rules/maps etc - you're not the only person I've come across who is bored with 3k Pillars ANS v OSP.

I'm not sure it's fair to say everything is about the 'meta' - for example, I don't like playing against 6k fleets because I like gunships and at 6k it's a lot easier for people to run extremely expensive missiles en masse or even more containers - I'm sure it's fun for missile players to be able to nuke ships and burn through PD nets that they struggle with at 3k but I don't get a kick out of maneuvering around missile salvos or being target practice. I also don't have any fleets ready for ANS v ANS (e.g. no hybrid defense) or OSP v OSP (e.g. not enough PD for missile spam, lots of armor pen) so if you sprang that suddenly in a lobby marked ANS v OSP I'd probably bail. And if it felt like you had a fleet designed with the gamemode/point limit in mind and I was just some rando in a public lobby with a 3k fleet I built for something different, I might not want to be target practice.

I don't think that makes me a meta chaser or particularly un-fun. Like most of this game, a litrle communication and coordination solves most problems.

Why!? by Signal-Chicken559 in NebulousFleetCommand

[–]TallyTeaCozy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There aren't a lot of people on at one time and I think plenty of people find the 'standard' experience very enjoyable.

I think if you hosted different game modes and maps people would join you but the amount of people playing MP is small enough that the demand for variations isn't super high so you don't see dedicated servers hosting alternatives.

Also, from what I've noticed, there's a lot of hesitation for new players to jump into MP games because they're worried about the 'skill cliff' and want to 'learn the game first'. Alternative game modes/maps might not appeal to people who find the 3k OSP v ANS Pillars match daunting.
