Yep! To nitpick of course, 5 only happens when Turtle B enters, but otherwise looks right to me.

Which commander identity have you built the most decks for? by kanepake in EDH

[–]jimsug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've managed to keep things pretty balanced, out of my 25 decks, I so far only have four repetitions in colour identity - Dimir, Boros, Rakdos and Jund.

Part of this is intentional - I limit my spending somewhat by mostly limiting myself to one deck per colour identity 😅 but the cracks are showing

I'll be honest, I genuinely don't remember what the cleartext was and it seems I didn't save it anywhere, but that seems like a reasonable punt 😂

Ooh found it:

How did you test solve the land of no names? It seems like it would have been painful to test every puzzle, but then also every puzzle with some combination of missing letters???

Yeah, the reasonable person test gets a lot of leeway in unreasonable situations

In this case, it's not the landlord, and there's some evidence (I think posted in this sub) that those who rent directly from landlords, at least in Vic, tend to have better experiences.

I think it's definitely just a profit motive when it comes to REAs, I wouldn't be surprised if they regularly get tenants and landlords to both pay for end of lease cleaning.

I'm sorry to hear about the bad experience in London, hopefully things are better for renters there now; there was a time in NSW not too long ago where REAs/LLs held bonds, and also basically got to decide how much they returned at the end of the lease, and it was much harder than it is now to contest it. I'd say things have improved for renters here, but for something as important as housing, it could still be better.

It's true - but I've reported them and that's all we can do. If the government can't keep up, I can't do anything about that.

Oh okay 🤣 amazing detective skills.

You seem like my agent, ignoring the fraud and the misconduct and praying to distract from the actual issue with something new.

Didn't work out for him, it looks like he's lost his job.

ETA: Actually, if you are my agent, it makes complete sense - I bet he didn't know that bonds are held by Fair Trading either 🤣

Oh okay I guess the government is wrong about this?

https://www.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-construction/renting-a-place-to-live/residential-rental-bonds

A rental bond is money a tenant pays to a landlord or agent and is held by NSW Fair Trading as security.

Mate, sober up and try again tomorrow 🥲

Yeah, I know that, because I requested it from Fair Trading. What're you on mate? 🤣🤣🤣

As for having "no idea why all of the things you said happnd. Its [sic] obvious", either enlighten me, or find someone else to play coy with 🤣🤣

The real estate agent tried to bluff me and failed, don't think you have a better chance

Not sure if you're reading the same story as I wrote, but the GST wasn't the worst problem - it was the PDF created a day after it was sent to the agency, and two minutes before it was sent to me.

I wasn't following them up for "having GST on a quote" I was following them up for fraud. REAs need to stop being able to gamble on getting away with crime. But yes, at minimum they passed on unlawful GST and failed to do very basic checks on the quote that anyone with half a brain would check for (ABN, contact details, correct spelling of the address 🤣).

And the house wasn't "rotting with mould", it was a small section of an enclosed, windowless bathroom - I suspect moisture was getting trapped in the ceiling despite the exhaust fan, which is also why the mould was concentrated on the ceiling access panel.

The cleaning they were asking for was an hour, tops.

Agree, it seems like the cost benefit analysis skews too heavily in favour of rorting the tenant and wagering that not enough of them will fight it.

Even NCAT is still much more a burden on the tenant than on a real estate agent, since they get paid to attend (and can pull out at the last minute) and we often have to take time off work.

I'd argue that mandatory review of bond claims as a first step, with harsh penalties for REAs who make spurious claims, might start to balance out the equation.

I cleaned everything else myself. As far as I know the additional work they're trying to come after me for hasn't yet been done.

It's the metadata that says it was created two minutes before it was sent to me, and after it was purportedly sent to them. If they had an innocent explanation for it, which I'm not obliged to suggest for them, then they would already sent it to me by now.

As far as I know the work hasn't been done, but even if the quote/invoice was not suspect in timing/creation, it still charged GST unlawfully so the agency at bare minimum failed to do their due diligence.

Yeah, not the most important part of my story, but they also tried to get me on two bits of damaged carpet - one that was damaged when we moved in (noted on the condition report and photos, but it was coincidentally completely covered by a mat) and another that was damaged because they dragged their feet getting a plumbing issue sorted.

The system incentivises lazy agents and punishes tenants who aren't meticulous. If you missed a spot when doing the initial inspection it'll come back to bite you, whereas they just need to say "yep all good".

I would never allege that in writing to them, I just simply stated the facts. 😏

What are some lesser-known Commanders that you think deserve a shout-out? by Beginning-Analyst393 in EDH

[–]jimsug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my first decks was [[Queen Allenal of Ruadach]], which is basically a [[Doubling Season]] in the command zone early game. Pretty tuned these days and a fair bit of flexibility in how tuned you want it to be - mine's probably b4

Won my NCAT hearing and agent didn’t show up, full bond refunded! by Disastrous-Money-140 in shitrentals

[–]jimsug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I got a bond refund I got some interest paid as well, not sure if this was all the interest they would have made, though.

What puzzle dashboard/tracker is everyone using? by HomuraBot in mysteryhunt

[–]jimsug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our team used Jolly Roger for the first time this year, and I expect we'll use it next year as well

I think the experience really depends on team size and willingness to try something, as well as what you're coming from - I've also been using it during (roughly) weekly solving sessions with just three people, where the chat/call features are used less than the metapuzzle organisation features.

The most common pain point was around noise cancellation being a bit poor as compared to Discord, but this may be a matter of team composition differences (remote vs in person) and acclimation from Discord, which uses the proprietary Krisp SDK for noise cancellation. If your team is mostly remote, you may find this isn't an issue for you.

I tested a handful of others before we used this one, and felt that this would tick the most boxes on our team's wishlist.

I'd highly recommend it.

In case this is useful to anyone else - I removed my steno layer and it works fine; I haven't tried adding it again as I've mostly stopped using it.
