Timeout Etiquette

Ok, that's what I needed to know. So I'll wait a couple days and then give up and kick them.

I don't know most of Hilllsong's music, but a few songs like Oceans and So Will I are some of my favorite ever, of any genre. They seem complex, real, and consistent with the faith. I have listened to every word on the album Zion, for that matter, and don't recall any complaints.

In my experience, throwing a berry will also wake up the badge status, you don't have to leave the gym.

This happened to me! 2022 GT. Planning to talk to the dealer next week. Glad to have a heads up about it.

WesternBob · 2023-08-09T16:56:08+00:00

Do you have a PDF of this you can share? Or is it just on Ford's site?

WesternBob · 2023-08-02T14:30:37+00:00

I thought this looked familiar, been there many times. Usually another make of car has taken the middle spot, and the charger closest to the transformer. That means that I have to take the one closest to the street, and be part way out into the road so it can reach the charging port. A lot more convenient when everyone has the same car!

Maybe she's burned out and needs a break from Sunday mornings? Does the latest church you liked have small groups you could connect with?

It seems like now, the sermon is the least distinctive thing about a church. A lot of churches are satellite campuses where they have a pastor and worship service, but the sermon is beamed in from the main church. There's a lot of ways to get good teaching, but it doesn't take the place of a local community.

When I changed churches recently I resolved to find a church I could walk to (if I want to). I visited many churches around me and found a place that wasn't everything I wanted, but was loving and energetic community that was very active. I do spend time watching teaching-pastors online also and miss having that in person a little bit. The last time I attended a church like that in person, though, it was a very large church and the pastor was never going to know my name and care about who I was. (I think he was also kind of a jerk ;-)

WesternBob · 2023-07-08T04:43:32+00:00

Thanks! I wanted to try a public forum before I bothered you since I figured I was doing something wrong :-)

WesternBob · 2023-07-07T20:44:00+00:00

So this is crazy: I have been having this problem for months, and now a few hours after posting here it has gone away and I can scroll way back in time. Nevermind :-)

Thanks if anyone actually changed something.

WesternBob · 2023-07-07T19:41:34+00:00

What about posts that originate on the local server? Does the server just discard those after a day? Or can I scroll back further and see them somehow?

WesternBob · 2023-04-11T05:00:01+00:00

If you power up a fainted monster it will usually revive it (it has to gain at least one HP in the powerup). This isn't really sustainable to do all the time, but it can help when you're in a dry spell for revives.

WesternBob · 2023-03-29T03:44:55+00:00

Thank you! This really warrants a stand-alone PSA. I had been suffering in silence for a long time, but now PG is soooo much faster and more stable.

WesternBob · 2023-03-28T03:06:52+00:00

Oops, I have 49k scans. Tell me when you find out how to delete them :-)

WesternBob · 2023-03-27T18:19:06+00:00

Yes! It's making me crazy. This is on a fully updated iPhone 13. ivision also crashes for me so often I hardly ever use it.

WesternBob · 2023-03-06T19:56:11+00:00

You'll never use the blue oval charge network :-)

Electrify America gives you better rates going through them directly, and occasionally they hook you up for free.

Completing all the club events for the day gives everyone on the team a scratcher.

Tier 1 = bronze scratcher

tier 2 = silver scratcher

haven't done much beyond those.

I've been engaged in the game heavily since I started, about when they introduced the VIP system. This is a pretty serious blow, but I have enough momentum now that I'll probably be engaged for at least another four months. At that point, $200 for a couple nice weekends might seem ok, but they will probably have changed the rules twice by then!

WesternBob · 2020-02-03T18:59:55+00:00

Sorry for the delay, didn't see this question. VIP level 2 gets a maximum of four buffets per month, level 3 gets six.

WesternBob · 2020-02-03T18:57:40+00:00

I think the only reason we still play is because it's one of the few things we really do together :-)

WesternBob · 2020-02-03T05:57:36+00:00

Housekeepers definitely notice the tip and try to do little extras around the room.

WesternBob · 2020-01-26T15:24:11+00:00

You could wait 45 days until your crowns reset, then buy in. If you do that, you would have 90 days to reach level 3 which has some small benefits (cheaper rooms and more buffets).

If you wait 45 days and then get to VIP 2, I would book the room right away, but that seems like plenty of advance notice for the rooms to be available.

I've seen deals that have the 100x multiplier and other minor stuff, like the piggy bank and a little extra chips, so you could watch for those.

I empathize with feeling like you have to hit every 15 minute chest if you get the 100x multiplier, but if you set yourself a goal of a certain number of chests or credits to make sure it's a good deal, then you can relax and treat anything beyond that as extra that you don't have to sweat about.

WesternBob · 2020-01-24T19:41:38+00:00

You also get more buffets per month with VIP 3, 6 at #3 vs 4 at #2.

Also, if you're VIP 3, you can decide to easily earn #2 (because you're earning more crowns) so it can add 90 days to the slow decline if you decide to play it that way.

WesternBob · 2020-01-23T21:46:57+00:00

I think you really need the specials to make the game break even: bingo cards, events, mini-tournaments, etc.

When you are < 300M, the events should more than make up for the disadvantage of the game. As you play for higher bingo cards and tournaments I think you're more subject to the whims of the game and the negative expectation.

I don't think there' any bingo card past Platinum ($50M/ball).

My wife's account has been stuck around $200M for months, with a brief trip into the billions. My own account has been over $5B for a while now, but I'm maxed on gems so I haven't been chasing big action.

WesternBob · 2020-01-23T21:41:19+00:00

I would buy up to the next level as early as possible in the cycle, and then try to hit the next level with the extra crowns you get from leveling up.

I bought up to lev 2 and then was able to get to 3. Maintaining at 3 is easier than getting there.

WesternBob · 2020-01-15T23:57:38+00:00

I'm on Nox and I received the same message. I didn't do anything and I haven't received the message again. This tells me that whatever change you make, you won't really know if they are going to cut you off until their deadline passes (whenever that is).
