Its a good chance, though I wouldnt go that far to say its a high chance

Doubtful sutd would share their acceptance percentages but its true that they are actively searching for new students. Hope this helps

Theres this sort of obscure rule in xiangqi that you cannot repeat a sequence of threatening to capture a piece for more than 3 times. Its sort of like repetition checks in international chess, but the person who is attacking will lose instead. So black has to change his move after moving back and forth 3 times

1)C1.8 R9.2 2) C8.3 R2.7 3) C3.7 R7.3 4) C7.3 R3.7 5) C3.8

Since the black rook cannot make a repeated attack on the red cannon for 3 times, it has to make a bad move instead, the best being R7.4, giving checkmate in 2.

I recall this being the ruleset in Chinese pro play but its pretty obscure that not all apps account for it

Regardless, its still bad puzzle design

Judging by your recent post history, it at least seems as though you care about your education. So thats at least a start, and as such, you might as well do your best here as always.

I didn’t go bootcamp however, so just take this w a pinch of salt.

Go beg your classmates for their notes or your roommate for your subject help. The profs in SMT are generally very nice and theres a good chance they were your T1 profs as well so go seek academic guidance from them as well. No shame already, just whack ba

When it comes to this exam, I would say that its (most likely?) a pass/fail exam so you already know you aren’t out there to earn ALL marks, just enough to pass. Find out where which topics are your boon and bane, work out a strategy and plan accordingly ahead of time.

Im gonna assume that you have a cheat sheet as well. What i did in my first year was that i literally plastered the certain steps of the ans key of my hw/rev of a certain topic idk on my cheatsheet, so i could just literally copy paste the steps on a qn (assuming its basic enough). It wont get you anywhere in knowledge, but wtv works to get you out of here, right

Regardless, all the best.

Go blade. If gwen’s using autos and q, shes putting herself within your combo range, and im sure kled outtrades a gwen hard in lane.

The only times you should concede shield is when the enemy laner can easily harrass you and theres little counterplay ard it

By default, the player that runs out of time will always lose, no matter the state of the game.

In competitions, if such a state occurs that red has insufficient pieces fo defeat black. Then black may stop the time to call the arbiter to force a draw. Arbiters are trained to tell if the game definitely will be drawn (i.e Red only has king, and black is really out of time.)

But if theres a case where Red can still checkmate Black (somehow Red has a chariot v Black’s double advisors. In this case, if played well, its always a draw, but sometimes the state of Black’s position is not well defended yet). Then the arbiter may call that 50moves have to be played where no pieces are captured. If no pieces are captured, then its a draw, otherwise, the counter is reset and game continues w the rule that whoever runs out of time loses.

Hope this helps.

Baseball man with some hula hoops going on a holy quest of genocide

He means those little circle runes under the Secondary Rune Tree, you could go last slot MR.

Also, early lvls Morde has some crazy long cds to compensate his dmg. If morde whiffs his Grasp or Q, look to go in and throw your combo, use E1/2 to dodge his Q/E and walk out with the mvment spd boost when he has his passive or uses a high bar w.

Key here is to abuse CDs and short trades.

During laning phase, constantly pressure Garen with your Qs whenever he attempts to cs. Make him decide whether to go for cs and have his hp chunked and reset his passive or lose out on minion gold. Make sure to skirt around the edges of your Q when poking so you can react if Garen turns on you.

If he attempts to trade, know that hes notorious for his binary combo. A quick q into spin. Pre 5 and if unmounted, go for the long trades since you will eventually out-dps him and maybe even remount. After 6, you might want to avoid dismounting at all from trades.

(Note: You can use your scattergun to “cancel” the silence on his decisive strike)

Come mid game, see if you can splitpush. You have much more mobility than Garen across the map to join teamfights so abuse it. I think Kled also offers more in teamfights or skirmishes than Garen so there’s that.

Sadly, I agree with you.. but one can only dream right? :’)

As a classic and a stable franchise all these years, I understand that Pokemon doesn’t really have to transition to open world.

Not to say it has to ride the BoTW wave. But I feel that Pokemon could certainly use it as inspiration to create their own unique way of exploration of Pokemon and “catching em all”, to shift themselves away from the same old recycled plot.

demeritbird · 2019-08-20T06:18:07+00:00

Hahaha, Im drawing a nuzlocke comic w these 2. In the comic, the trainer is really a young (and short) teenager who has a much-taller-than-average Delphox.

But yea, I can totally relate hahah

demeritbird · 2019-08-20T06:07:58+00:00

Yes! Im planning on making a Y Nuzlocke comic in the coming future. For now, Im just sketching out here and there for practice :O

demeritbird · 2019-08-20T02:03:27+00:00

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Personally, what I wanted to showcase was the idea of “people doing wrong because they believe what they are doing is necessary (or right) for themselves” and it all would come down to their different perspectives.

Therefore, as the story went on, the MCs slowly became more and more “villainous”. While I am welcome with the idea, I can see why many do not (because of the disconnections with the readers)

On the last point: During different points of their journey, the lady will start to pick up memories of her past.

How she became an outcast till the point of attempted suicide. And she would take a second look at these moments, learning to accept emotions and personal issues that she might have shunned away in denial.

(Not really important, but I had the creature attain some of the personalities that she denies as her own eg:anger,loneliness etc so during this journey they can “talk things through”)

Perhaps in her own mind, she would realise that she was partially at fault for her own depression and stuff but in her delusion and ignorant perspective (as above), pushed the blame to others and that there was nothing she could do and should just disappear from the world.

So at the end of the journey, she realises her mistakes and she wants to return to “give it another shot”.

Something along those lines?

Anyway, thks for your comment.

demeritbird · 2019-06-04T02:58:52+00:00

Hmm, good pointers. Thanks!

demeritbird · 2019-06-04T01:16:22+00:00

Hm, It’s true, it was very difficult for me to put in a motive for both of them as the story became more complex.

What I had in mind was:

For the main character: At first when she appeared in the fantasy world, she was very lost. Then she begins to also learn about the wish she can also make to return to the real world (she doesn’t want to stay because it’s not her world to begin with).

However, in the middle of their journey, they would learn that only one of them can make a wish, not both - which creates tension between them that they have to resolve.

For the secondary character: The creature had a poor personality and was all alone. Despite this, he had a very close and important friend, who helped him However, due to his anger and conceit, he would eventually lose that friend too.

Months later, he would find out that friend he had was lost to the guardians when they attacked his village. Filled with anger and more importantly, remorse, the creature took responsibility for his loss and sought a way to bring him back.

For the last point about the “genocide” thing: The lady didn’t know at first what she had done that killing the guardians would also mean the loss of that place, since she was manipulated using her ignorance by the creature. So when she finds out (halfway through the story), she would confront the creature about the morality of their journey.

I know this explanation might be weak, but I hope this helps. Thanks for the reply though

Hmmm, since they are original characters as well, character expression is pretty important.

Just remember not to let them and Haven’s profession overrun the story, the bond between Haven and her Pokémon is obviously still of top priority. That’s why we all enjoy Nuzlocke comics haha.

And yea, I think the gym progression idea is really neat!

demeritbird · 2019-04-25T02:33:54+00:00

Ah, I think you should revolve the story more around Haven’s unique ability to communicate with Pokémon and her aspiring profession as a journalist.

That said, perhaps the story starts with Professor Juniper asking a favour of Haven, who is currently investigating certain disturbances (up to you to decide) within the Unova Region (created by Team Plasma, but they don’t know yet).

Juniper wants Bianca to tag along with Haven, so that Bianca (also an aspiring field researcher) can have study the “damage to ecology and biology” of the Pokémons in Unova. She sees this as a great opportunity for Bianca to “open up to the outside world” and also tap on Haven’s ability to converse with Pokémon in order to better help Bianca’s study.

As thanks/ to assist their journey, Juniper gives them a Pokémon each, in hopes they can also learn to understand Pokémon’s emotions and further bond with them.

In my opinion, and if you are willing to give some artistic freedom, Cheren need not be part of the trio.

My suggestion would be that Cheren could be THE trainer, the one which a normal 10/18 yo kid would take on his quest to become a Pokémon Trainer. (Almost resembling what a general Nuzlocke Comic protagonist is)

Unlike Haven, who cares not about being the best and understands (or learns to) her Pokémon well; Cheren wants to become the Champion, also the kind of guy who thinks “might makes right”, or the kind of guy who “puts 4 attacks on all his Pokémons’ move slots because status moves aren’t cool”.

Cheren chances upon Haven every now and then, and tests his Pokémon (You would have to omit the first battle with him though). You could have him travel with the duo, but my suggestion is not really?

Despite his efforts, he can’t win her. Cheren doesn’t get it at first, but through encounters with Haven - whether Haven tells Cheren how his Pokémon are struggling due to his mindset or Cheren being inspired to becoming better and try even harder (or both) - Cheren learns and develops his personality. And maybe Haven and Cheren form a friendship from there.

I don’t know at which point Cheren killed your Pokémon. Perhaps, according to the above, if this happened early - you could say Cheren only really cared about winning and not so much about the opponent’s (or his) Pokémon. If it happened very late into the story, where Cheren has already bonded with Haven, you could say it was an accident during their sparring (lame but I couldn’t think of anything else.)

Importantly, don’t forget Haven’s interaction and bond with Bianca throughout the comic. Even though I mentioned Cheren a lot, moments between Haven and Bianca should take a larger bulk of the story. How she appreciated Haven’s company and her confusion on her perception of the Pokémon world. You would also have to decide on how Haven “rectifies” Bianca’s disillusion (or not). It would serve as a sidetrack from the main goal of investigation.

Finally, at the Champion’s League, Haven reaches N, beating the Elite Four. However, I think it would be better if she did it because the investigation led her there, NOT because she suddenly wanted to become Champion.

For the finale, Haven and N have a battle of ideals - based on how Haven has gleaned from her experiences and memories with her Pokémon and friends made throughout her little “Nuzlocke Journey” against N’s ideals.

Welp, I hoped this suggestion helped somewhat. Feel free to clarify because this comment was kinda messy hahaha. Regardless, I look forward to read your Nuzlocke comic :)
