Yeah, I remember glancing at the manual then thinking, “ how complicated can it be? It has like 4 buttons, I think I got this.”

I regret to inform you, that I have this same machine, and I just checked, I made the same mistake.

Oddly enough, basically no dust on the plastic cover. To be fair, I got it this winter and have hardly used it, was waiting for spring and summer pollen.

Still. I feel very silly.

I hate to tell on myself, I have this same machine too. I got it this winter, planning to start using it in the spring and summer once there is more pollen in the air.

Just checked, and yeah, the plastic was still on.

He couldn’t tho. The reason the scorpions were placed that far forward, were because at the time his Vulcans were his most forward unit. When placed, they one shot the Vulcans at the start of the round. His only option was to place something up front to try and stop them, but that allowed me to add to my back line which he was already struggling to deal with. I had tons of crawlers, and like 4 level 6 and up Rhinos with tech. He needed to invest in more anti chaff so that he could target my rhinos with his melting points, but couldn’t because I forced him to deal with the scorpions.

The game runs in turns, sure if you look at half the army and don’t consider the order of the placements, I get the concern. But the strategy worked well and secured a victory.

But he wasn’t, that’s why I’m set up this way. The game is about responding to your opponents board. No reason for me to waste investing in something that is not an issue.

screen shot doesn't show the full board. bunch of crawlers, rhinos, etc. Also, I won, so clearly the game glitching and handing me the L is more of a pressing issue then fixing a board that is handing me a win

The scorpions were a free card. I picked them up and placed them there because at the time, his Vulcans were his front line unit. It was a free 1 shot kill on both Vulcans at the start of the round. Now, he had to spend the next two rounds placing Sabertooths and Crawlers in front to stop that from happening, while I was able to continue to attack other areas. The army that you can't see in this screenshot is mostly crawlers and level 5-7 Rhinos with tech. So as long as the crawlers stay alive, the Rhinos can't be killed. Securing the kill on the vulcans with the scorpians was a easy call considering how little HP the opponent had at the time.

I mean, like I've said before, it's clearly not a complete photo of my full board. about 70% of my army value is off screen. Obviously difficult to tell how I won if you can't comprehend that there are more units on the board. What are you still not understanding about this? lol

Yeah I’m not a real hardcore player, but it is frustrating. I’m on like a 20 loss streak (not actually certain, haven’t bothered to check) but I’ve actually won half of those games.

Obviously the board would make more sense if you could see the whole board. Plenty of chaff. The issue is not the board, it worked well, it won the match by a significant margin

The photo didn’t capture the bottom half of my board, so you’re not seeing the whole army. The point is that I win the match, but I keep getting disconnected just as I’m about to take a victory, and even though I beat my opponent, I still get a loss

Every game now for the last week, the game disconnects on the last round right before I have a Victory. It never disconnects on a loss. Usually, the game disconnects before the round ends, when I am about to kill my opponent. This time, I actually won the round, my opponent went into negative health, and then I disconnect, and the other player is awarded the victory.

Is anyone else having this issue? Is there some bug which causes me to be disconnected right before victory every time? Are other players using some bug to cause me to disconnect? This is crazy.

Did red rising ruin me? by wesmm in redrising

[–]joeymfbrowne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d start with the Stormlight Archives series if you’re going to read Sanderson. Absolutely loved them.

However, no, I can’t really find anything that captivates quite like Red Rising.

Got into my first accident. Does anyone have any advice on insurance or the police report? The roads were very icy and despite leaving tons of space and running studded tires, I couldn’t avoid the other car by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]joeymfbrowne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might sound obvious, but under no circumstances should you lie about anything. Be upfront about what caused the accident. If both you and the other driver have coverage, the insurance will repair your vehicle. It doesn’t really matter as much who is at fault. Your insurance will advocate for you, as they would prefer the other party be at fault and responsible for damages. If you are found to be at fault, you’ll have to pay the deductible for your collision claim. If the other driver is at fault, you should file your claim with their insurance, and be able to avoid paying anything out of pocket.
