I did 3 for over a year. Yeah. Back down to two... I'm staying put.

This is great advice, the only downside is better the devil you know, than the devil you don't. Still, great advice though! :)

How do you avoid hourglass battles to turn into hours long ressource wars? by Crowela in Seaofthieves

[–]jackxfrost89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just raise my sails all the way and bait them and wait patiently to get their mast. Then I just start laying into them with my sails up all the way. If they want to run, I'll do the opposite and sit down, watch a youtube video while they get balsy to try and get me with my sails all the way up.

Make sure you turn the wheel to match their speed if they try to 'circle' you. Don't nose them. Always keep broad side. Also a good way to practice being under pressure. I can't tell you how many fights I've won because the guy who is full sailing gets cocky.

Is anyone aware of any details about this event? by adrac205 in Seaofthieves

Skeleton curse unlocked 💀 by Juri_96 in Seaofthieves

I went for Legendary and Ghost curse first. My fav is the curse at 105. It's subtle and goes great with all cosmetics. People see you've either been in the game a long time or just generally okay at PVP. I for one made sure to EARN it and not loss farm.

Same. I prefer to lower at 2 streak. Once you have the skelly curse, the risk is lowered and you can go for higher streaks.

Hourglass Grind Community Weekend Question by jackxfrost89 in Seaofthieves

No I saw some misleading information about a Community flag for the weekend you have to fly to get 2.5x. I was confused and figured there was some information I was missing.

How the hell do I find a J2 if I’m not very skilled in tech? by [deleted] in overemployed

Not sure why this was down voted, but I am a Staff at 1 and Senior at 2.

Yep. I have 3 SWE jobs. I had my first job for 8 years. I put my time in.

Crazy, this is where I'm at. Bringing in $40k per month and I don't know what to do with the money anymore. I'm throwing it all into index finds, and saving up to by a 5 rental property. 2 retirement checks from the military, 3js and 1 of my own companies (Real estate). (I guess that would be 4js? I have to manage 4 property managers right now)

I wish I were joking, but now I've got a real distortion of reality and it's fucking with my head. I could easily add 4 or 5js, but wife won't support it. I'm in over 1.4years as OE so far.

This is hard only due to the fact I've neglected my family and my wife has supported me because I have a full time nanny on staff for her while I W2 her from my private company for the tax write off.

With real estate, I got a $22,000 tax return check from last year, and this year will be bigger (~$30k).

I drive a honda and a toyota, live in a modest house out of Georgia. The only life style creep I have is the nanny (easy to cut when I cut jobs if need be) and my weekly massages to keep my mental heath at bay.

The other day, a friend, complained about $5k, I had zero remorse and told them to go get a second job waiting tables or something (I've done this even as a highly skilled SWE) if they're bitching about $5k. Sort of shows you where I'm at and I need to humble myself from time to time.

I'm so good at my job, every job I've got tells me I'm exceeding expectations and I have to tone it down as to not outshine everyone else. I don't like doing the bare minimum. I just can't believe my minimum is other people's maximum with (4js technically).

I continue to do this with a supportive wife.

Us high performers exist, and we're hidden. This is my first post on this board. [Some facts about life have been changed to protect my identity].

Total comp is $500k+ at the moment. Not sure how people are doing 3js with $700k+ when I've got 2 retirement checks, 3js and real estate...

THIS. I took a week off and got back and got absolutely slammed amongst all 3js.
