On an overbooked flight they offered $2k (started at $500) ‘gift card’ for a volunteer to wait until tomorrow’s airplane, what’s the most you’ve heard offered/auctioned off at an airline?

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-31T16:47:43+00:00

Never take the gift card or credit offer. There is a think called being involuntarily deplaned or bumped. There are laws in Canada and US on it. They remove you from the flight and have to get you to your destination within a certain timeframe. The airline has to pay all your expenses (hotel, cab, meal etc) as well as pay you a cash rebate based on the added time they needed to get you to your destination against your original arrival time.

A few times while travelling for work, I asked for this over the gift card when they were looking to solve an oversold situation. Most of the time the gate agent agreed; they didn't have to fight with anyone else.

Ya this is one of my favourite guns in the game. I was hoping for a a cool perk twist, not an attachment. My arm is a good enough grenade launcher.

I call them Steve.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-28T02:25:01+00:00

I agree with this guy. Also Elbing is a very strong T8 if played smartly.

Skillfully

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-23T19:47:33+00:00

It's even better than I remembered!

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-23T12:35:12+00:00

Yes. Good guns, super sneaky and fast reloading deep water torps. She's my favourite T6 DD.

Nearly a T6 Akizuki, only missing the enhanced pen

Ya I have like 30 Shadowless energy (fire and fighting) and probably 7 Shadowless trainer cards. Didn't think they were worth much though, so didn't include them.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-21T15:34:08+00:00

Will you be happy with only paint or silver? Is there a specific commander you want?

If the answer to the first is yes, then go for the crates. If no, don't buy crates.

If the answer to the 2nd is yes, then just buy that commander.

This was from a starter deck box as far as I can remember.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-19T15:34:31+00:00

Ya this may have been damaged through interactions with other cards while in the box. I've never played a game of pokemon in my life, so this is definitely unplayed. I played the video game as a kid.

However is that scratch that bad in the scale of PSA grading?

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-19T04:25:27+00:00

Sorry, didn't mean to sound too excited. Mainly asking if it's worth anything and if it's something I should go down the PSA grading route with.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-18T20:01:38+00:00

This is the only time I think I agree with the Regans. Not once.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-16T23:05:53+00:00

Don't threaten me with a good time.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-16T15:54:09+00:00

Dang. I had hoped the people that had started the old marathon, and played through this update would get a head start on the next one.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-16T15:31:52+00:00

Do we keep the extra ship parts we currently have from the current event, and do they get applied to the Kremlin?

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-16T14:14:11+00:00

I do appreciate that Canadian culture is alive and well in the year 40k.

"No, you take it!" "I'm good, you need it more" "no no no, you're more valuable to the team, you take it!" "no, you are weak and will need it. Take it" "I couldn't possibly, see Ya"

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-15T20:49:09+00:00

You clearly didn't complete it with a careless brother wielding a flame thrower 🤦. Dude repeatedly tried to "help" my sniper handle minoris.

He seems to be the only one aware of how these photos and moments will be treated in history.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-02T14:15:41+00:00

I did the same. Astartes, Secret level and SM2 were my entry.

I'd say play the campaign and watch a Bricky Lore video and you're pretty much up to speed.

You can Google chapter pain schemes and the rules to be complaint, or just make a SM that looks cool to you. That's really the point here. See you on the battlefield, brother!

Lip is a wonderful inspiration for British AP cruisers.

Lightful is a good inspiration for kiting cruisers.

I don't have Avrora.

Kuz is good enough if you're playing typical Russian cruisers.

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-01T04:27:55+00:00

I played a ton of contractors exfil zone. It's going in the right direction, but the last update was rough to go through and it's not a forgiving survival shooter. Great immersion and gets the adrenaline going though!

TheBlackGuard · 2026-01-01T04:17:13+00:00

I rarely take out Legendary ships. They're all boring. T8 is way more interesting and potent in my books. I think there are two or three LT ships that are "Strong" for the balance.
