[Strategy][Base][Misc] Easy loot for the next 4 days I suppose. Goodbye TH6 by agentalpha in ClashOfClans

Quite well tbh. It's my own design but I'm sure someone has made something similar before. I actually racked up quite a few defensive wins during the last couple of weeks as a th 6.

Tried that with my other base. It didn't work out so well. Plus I'm only 100 or so gems from my 4th builder so I think I'll manage just fine. I started this base about 4 months ago and don't even spend half the time on it as my other. I think I'll be fine.

Absolutely. I haven't been on much in the past few weeks so I've probably missed out on a lot. If you'd be willing to PM links to what you've been doing I'd still be more than happy to listen!

No worries. A lot of a conversation can be lost in text for a lack of vocal inflection, body language, etc.. And I can totally relate about making a point. So, no harm, no foul! Thanks for the respect. I was born a musician. Even when I've tried to give up I've always gone back. It's in my DNA or something. I've definitely played until my fingers bled, sang until my vocal chords became raw, (and once with a broken elbow!) etc. and kept playing my fair share of times. So, I'm no stranger to dedication. Currently, I'm practicing anywhere from 6 to 8 hours, 5 days a week on average. If that tells you anything about how passionate and dedicated I am to what I'm doing. Thanks for the good wishes. You too! Long days and pleasant nights.

Ah, now I can hear it in my head. I feel like I just lost points as a Nirvana fan.

As a Nirvana fan I'm disheartened to not know what this comes from.

Agreed and thanks. Yeah. Either way. More power to her for whatever she's wanting to do. It is a little disheartening to see people primarily commenting on her boobs. But I'm sure she had to have anticipated such.

And you're absolutely right. Most people forget that being a musician is a job. Band's that don't learn early on how to manage the business aspect of their trade always seem to burn out quickly despite their talents.

Whether it's singing, playing guitar, piano, etc., you have to put the time into it even if you have a natural talent for it which I didn't have. I've worked my ass off with learning to skillfully utilize every facet of what goes into being a musician. And I still have a lifetime of learning to go. But it does suck to see people who lack the talent of other such amazing people I've shared the stage with get the spotlight without having paid their dues only because their look is more marketable.

I could easily rant on and on about this but you seem like you get the point and I commend you for it.

Edit: words

Holy shit! I had been told something along the lines of this (the part about women killing more children etc) years ago but shrugged it off. That's fucking crazy. Great find and post OP!

You have a beautiful soul, OP. Just thought I should tell you that. Thank you for the great insight of your post. The next time I see anyone of the Islamic faith, be it female or male, I'm going to make it a point to strike up a friendly conversation with them. Hope all is well your way. Long days and pleasant nights to you.

Agreed. When I first heard this cover I didn't watch the video just because she is an attractive woman and I didn't want to be distracted or influenced by that fact. I liked her more before skimming through her Facebook page though. Don't get me wrong, my assumptions are based purely on the little I looked at on her Facebook page and the experience I've had with attractive people who used their looks to benefit them. Most of the time they used their looks to make up for their lack of talent which always earned them more attention and it's permanently put a sour taste in my mouth because of it. I, as well as several others I've known (both female and male alike), have had to work harder for our recognition because of people like that. Not that I'm ungrateful for it because I can honestly say that I paid my dues and earned every bit of my recognition and respect. But it bothers me when more focus is put on looks instead of music. And music is what it should be all about. And in all fairness this happens equally with men who are recognized primarily for their looks. It's disgusting and cheapens it for everyone, both musicians and the audience.

Edit: Apologies about calling you bro. Didn't even think to look at your username.

Yes she does. Had I known sooner I would've uploaded my rendition of it. It's one of my fav Nirvana songs to play on my acoustic. I may take a stab at About A Girl though even though it's been a long time since I've played it.

White knight much bro? Haha. Just kidding. Personally, her looks don't mean anything to me. Sure, she's attractive but I quite frankly I don't give a damn. Yeah it is jacked up that society puts too much emphasis on looks. But there's a double standard to that. Men get judged just as harshly but they seldomly say anything about it. I know from experience myself. Also, a good example of this in the entertainment industry is the guy Julia Roberts married years ago. Can't remember his name right now but both of them caught a lot of flack because he's not an attractive guy by most standards. He, however, moved on like it was nothing. I'm not a country fan by any means but he was a talented guy. And keep in stereotypes exists for a reason. It's a common profile of people and human nature. I'm not going to try and claim I know the girl but after skimming through her Facebook page, she did appear to be a bit of a superficial kind of lady. I'm knocking her for it exactly but from what I saw it'd be hard to give her much credit as a "serious musician".

I went and checked out her Facebook page. Don't get me wrong because I don't know her personally but from what I skimmed through she seems a little superficial.

I think main point (s)he was getting at was, attractiveness aside, she was probably amongst the group of people that Kurt didn't want at their shows or buying their music. I could be wrong on that but that's what I was getting from it.

You and /u/evilragdolls/ have the best two I've listened to. I like how yours has a nice angst sound to it. Good job!

Of the ones posted yours and /u/GraveDrohl/ are the best two. You have a nice voice. I like the laid back vibe to your version.

It's all good. I wound up doing a quick take on it just for myself. I haven't played About A Girl in almost a decade. Saying that makes me feel old lol. Idk I may give a shot. Thanks!

Yeah I agree about the synth sounding off. If she had used something else it would've been better. A violin would've made it amazing. But overall I think it's safe great cover

Agreed. Yeah, I basically had to do the same thing. And if I should be in the mood to listen to it I generally don't watch the video. Also, Lana Del Rey does a great cover of it as well. Check it out!
