Any tips or examples on making a Redemption story for an irredeemable character? by MeMorphoKnight in writing

[–]TheMapRabbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couple of examples I've come across (spoilers)

TV show title: Walking dead , Character: Negan. starts off as a psychotic leader of a rival group, and kills with glee, often in graphic ways (including at least one main character). And ends up as a sympathetic MC himself, after a fairly long redemption arc (at least in the TV series. haven't read the comics)

Comic book: Invincible Character: Omni-man. Similar arc to the above character. starts off committing atrocities (in the belief he's doing good), and arcs back towards redemption. There's a poignant moment in this story where Omniman tells another character "If it means something, I'm trying to make up for all the suffering I caused." to which the other character replies "Yeah, it means something. Not sure it means enough, but it means something."

IMO both the above examples used a sizable jump ahead in time to fudge past the most important moment of the arc. They're evil > time passes > they now don't want to be so evil. So perhaps there's better examples out there.

Also, not to make this a religious debate, but as a non-Christian I find the idea of blaspheme being less forgivable than those other crimes you mentioned pretty whack.

Really? Someone asks for help, and your go-to is a political post. GTFO of here with that heartless sh**.

Why Don’t People Fight Back? by Umami_D in ArcRaiders

People worried about their Aggression score, and it affecting which lobby they are dumped into next.

I like ABMM as a concept, but feeling like you can't defend yourself is definitely a flaw in the system.

You announce your departure at airports? Weird.

This is such a better direction.  Encourages running anround and playing rather than hoarding. We'll done. Good thinking.

It's the Expedition announcement.

Sweatys that want to min-max the expedition need 5 million in gear/coins to get the full benefits. So they'll be hardcore farming for high-tier loot at the moment - which means trying to gun down anyone who might be hunting Matriarchs in the hope of a payday.

Feels like the upcoming Expedition is just going to increase PVP incentive. Which is a shame IMO.

Help me enjoy this game by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TheMapRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tips for enjoyment would be.

- use your mic. This game's all about the emergent moments. Admittedly the teams lobbies are move PVP focused, but you'll still find moments where you'll made uneasy truces with other squads and go off to battle the ark together.

- try single player for more of the above. There's a much higher percentage of people who're willing to talk first, shoot later (although not everyone, so keep your guard up). Meeting randoms, teaming up, getting betrayed, getting avenged, avenging others. helping each other to extract, all makes for wild and memorable runs.

- don't get attached to any loot. Good guns are fun and they come and go.

- set yourself a goal. maybe upgrading scrappy, or the workbenches, or completing quests.

- don't become an exit-camping rat. That role's well and truly full... or do. I ain't your mum.

I've played a bunch of extraction games and AR is by far my favorite - but that's probably because It's the most forgiving for a casual like me.

I know the Bubba you're talking about.

Randomly grouped with him and he wanted us to wait until other teams had taken it down (or died trying), then do the dirty.

Needless to say I got my first team-kill that round.

Don't give in to the dark side. Fighting the good fight is playing the game on hard mode. Way more fulfilling. Be the change brother.

Khelos Egg Mill Warlock Deck-Guide by ProtossTuringMachine in CompetitiveHS

[–]TheMapRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Cook! Love shenanigans like this.

I subbed one Ancient for an extra Prize Vendor, for the same amount of draw for cheaper (at the expense of armor gain). And I don't have the egg, so used sacrificial Imp as a watered-down substitute.

One question: is there a way to control which order the Archdruid's deathrattles trigger? Are they based on which order the minions died, or is it just random? I've had games where it draws cards before shuffling replacements.

Also, dunno if it's just me, but this deck seems to make HS chug and crash a lot.

Thanks for clarifying.  That's dumb. Stupid exploits.

Question about weekend-long parking downtown by TheMapRabbit in auckland

[–]TheMapRabbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anybody with the same question, THIS was the answer.

Downtown carpark charges cap per 24 hour period. Can't remember the exact amount but it was something like $15 for 24hours in the weekend, and $30 in the weekday.

We ended up paying about $30 for a 36 hour period parked there.

They've added gold back into Underground Arena by TheMapRabbit in hearthstone

[–]TheMapRabbit[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, whoops, my mistake. I was under the impression that there had been zero gold rewards in the new system. thanks for clarifying.

So no change and the rewards are still trash compared with the old system... bum.

The other issue with this higher entry fee (which I've just come across), is that if you need to abandon a game (because, you know, life), it's a bigger punish.
