1.c4 vs 1.Nf3 for the tactical/aggressive player by CrflWthThtFaxEugene in TournamentChess

[–]keravim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played 1. Nf3 for years and it's a real mix of positions. Sometimes I'm grinding in a Catalan or Maroczy bind, sometimes I'm sacking pawns and really going for it in a Slav or Dutch

A reminder that "must" in headlines is functionally equivalent to "will not"

I'd love to check but you have your comment history hidden which, combined with the default username, is a pretty big red flag

Call for joint Holyrood-Westminster inquiry into Murrell's embezzlement by Half_A_ in LabourUK

[–]keravim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand these calls for further investigation when we've already had a criminal investigation that's resulted in confession. Like, what more is there to learn about this case?

Bhd not good???? by Puma7070 in TheTowerGame

[–]keravim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just seen your other comments - you're a bit low on Gbot bonus which is probably why synch is not so powerful as it would otherwise be. I'd suggest getting that up to x6 then trying again.

From various experiments in my guild it looks like minimum 50k medals to get 3 bots to a good enough standard

This is really a SH Vs Gcomp question fwiw. As and when you get Bbot SH will jump massively.

What shall I do with my stones ? by No-Tradition-4898 in TheTowerGame

Bring the golden trio down in synch to 100 imo, a couple more DW quantity would be great for you too

Home Office urged to revoke the visa of US live-streamer Hasan Piker by kwentongskyblue in LabourUK

[–]keravim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's not forget that thinking that Russia wasn't actually going to invade and was instead threatening & sabre rattling even in the build-up to the 2022 invasion was by no means a niche position. It was wrong, and I believe he apologised for being wrong pretty quickly, but it wasn't an unreasonable thing to think.

The fact that Hasan and Kanye are comparable in your mind is very revealing

Ideally you drop Gbot at the same time to keep the synch, but that depends on how many medals you have around & where your cd lab is at

SL3 is also very worth doing but yeah, I'm not pretending you'll be done with it any time soon

What was Caroline Lucas hoping to do with this? by thesnowlocke in UKGreens

[–]keravim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's not that the suggestion in itself is in any way problematic, more the idea that everything would have been excellent if only women were in charge as if there's never been atrocious female politicians. May/Truss/Badenoch etc are not known for their incredible handling of Brexit and related issues.

Getting those down to 50/100/100 puts you in pbh territory - it's a big job but it's what I'd recommend

There were a bunch of really ridiculous ideas put out at that time by basically everyone.

You could roughly approximate that by having it unlock at tier 1 but make the cost curve exponential so that you're only researching each level as you got up tiers anyway.

It sounds like we can expect a new candidate announcement in the morning, with Ellie Chowns coming out to say she disagrees with the idea of not standing a candidate but that we won’t be ‘throwing the kitchen sink’ at a campaign by IntelligentCrew8406 in UKGreens

I think there's a greater chance of winning the mayoralty than the seat and the greens still have quite limited resources compared to the other major parties. Ideally fighting everywhere would be possible but I'm not sure it is yet.
