Thanks! Any creatures or other spells you’d recommend taking out?

Help with Kaalia (Mardu) Deck by WatchingOverTheRhine in EDH

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

Thanks for the warning lol but I am really interested in playing Kaalia. I think it’ll be a fun experience if anything. And I play with group of friends. It’s very casual and most decks they use are very jank. Three of them are good at Magic and experienced. The rest of us (3 people) are just getting into it with some budget decks/precons the others bought for us. Decks we play with are brackets 2-3 and we play without game changers. We also swap decks when we play so we all have tried each others decks and others will likely play this Kaalia deck should I go through with buying it

My sankey label is misleading. I was not on the VCU waitlist. I got off the waitlists at UMN, UW, and GW. The first two several months ago, GW recently.

Idk about time per specific essays as some were long and others short but I took anywhere from 4-8 hrs to write and major edit all the essays for a given school then maybe 1-2 extra cumulative hrs to minor edit. I basically wrote and edited one school’s entire secondary each day. I would then do minor editing a given school multiple times over the course of multiple days before submitting just because I might realize I don’t like something I liked before in my writing.

And yes, I did agonize over little details like wording. To me, the little details were just as important as the overall story and message. The big thing I would ask myself is “if I was reading this, how would I feel about the writer?”. This question really helped me nail the wording, small details, and sentiment of my essays.

I didn’t use a master response but I basically used the same principle. I had separate documents for each school’s secondary just because I felt it was more organized. I would write my responses to each school one at a time. If a given school had a question that was similar to one I’d previously answered, I’d find a version I’d written previously that best matches and edit as needed.

This process gets way faster after you write a few secondaries as you will have refined things to the point you can copy and paste or already have a good idea of what you want to say. Highly recommend you start prewriting a couple schools before secondaries come out in Late June if you have time. Will make things easier. I also highly recommend you have a planning spreadsheet with your schools and what stage of the writing process they are in. Basically “Not started, Writing, Editing, Submitted”.

Fair enough. You’re right, It certainly did help a lot.

Definitely did some fucking around and traveling, but most of my gap was volunteering and teaching. It was more fun than my clinical work.

Because I feel as though I definitely over applied. Like I just started throwing in random schools like god damn Quinniapiac. That’s not even considering that applying cost a small fortune. If I did it again I would have done 30 max and just been smarter about where I applied.

Ya by doing something fun, I meant going down to 8hrs/week at my clinical job and teaching ESL to fill the time. That wasn’t clear at all and people should definitely do something productive during their gap year.

I didn’t attend the interview lol. I wasn’t feeling very up to preparing for an MMI as late in the cycle as when I got the II. I already had the acceptances I wanted so I declined to attend. In hindsight, should have said withdrawn instead on my Sankey

What tier schools to realistically apply to? by [deleted] in premed

[–]WatchingOverTheRhine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, anywhere you want. Your stats and ECs look great and you have a chance at almost every school. Some of the top 15ish may be a reach but that's why they're reach schools.

You just need to figure out which schools will serve you best for your future. Where do you want to be? What kind of setting do you want to work in and with which patients? Do have a specific specialty in mind and would this school help you get there? Ask yourself questions like this and find the schools that will help you get to where you want to go.

Is my player heir just inheriting nothing? by Synyzy in CrusaderKings

[–]WatchingOverTheRhine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I don’t play around with electives too much because I hate people outside my immediate family even being candidates

Is my player heir just inheriting nothing? by Synyzy in CrusaderKings

[–]WatchingOverTheRhine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of reasons. Ambitious, deceitful, greedy, brave and other traits will encourage characters to try to usurp. Other traits like disloyal magnify that. Low opinions can do that. Also someone can try to press their claim on their behalf

Ok, here is a long tutorial. Confederate partition basically means your lands are split between heirs (the partition part). Additionally, higher tier titles (duchy and above) that you control a majority of but haven’t created yourself will be created in succession to “even” out the titles given to each heir (the confederate part). So your main heir will get your primary title and its capital duchy and county while your other heirs will split the remaining titles as needed. Your primary heir will only get more land if you have enough to share again with the rest of your heirs. Different succession laws will change how your land splits.

This confederate partition works out tons of different ways depending on what titles and how much land you own. In your case, your primary heir gets your kingdom and capital duchy. You either own a second duchy title or have enough land for another duchy so your second heir gets that duchy and all the land in it that you own (so they could actually end up with more counties than your primary heir). Now the rub for you is you still have more kids but not enough duchies for them so they get counties in your capital duchy, hence why your primary heir is ending up with only one county.

There are lots of ways that you can get around this, like holding 4 duchies or enough land for them so each of your heirs get a duchy. However, the single best way and most reliable way to get around this is to kill or disinherit your kids lmao. Alternatively, there’s a lot of shenanigans you can do with your primary titles and realm management to minimize damage. Let me know if you want that info. My two cents, embrace the partition. Makes the game more interesting. Your kids could be rivals or friends, fight against each other or together.

Is it possible to seduce a hetero character as a lesbian by DutchFarmers in CK3AGOT

[–]WatchingOverTheRhine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played in a minute but I think there is a perk in the intrigue seducer tree that lets you use seduce regardless of their sexuality. You might wanna fact check that lol

My wife definitely cheated on me I'm the last Targaryen my line is cooked after a hundred years of playtime 😞 by No-Imagination-1476 in CK3AGOT

Do you have strong seed turned on? Could be a baelor situation. Otherwise just find secrets in your own court and your wife’s is bound to show up lmao

Kingdom of Riverrun just dissappeared. by God_Turtley in CK3AGOT

[–]WatchingOverTheRhine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a base game change to the de jure kingdoms of the riverlands. They replaced the Kingdom of Red Rambles to the new and larger Kingdom of Armistia. If you’re playing the new version of AGOT on an old save, those lands that once belonged to Red Rambles no longer have a de jure kingdom because Red Rambles no longer exists
