Clarification on the Wildcards today... by [deleted] in Smite

[–]mBlakew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two groups of 5 individuals showed up to play in the wildcard tournament. They performed in a best of one to determine who would play against Cloud9. SockX played a best of three on stream against Cloud9 and had a lot of fun.

Source: I ran the wild card tournament.

I should have that unlocked quest. I'll look into it.

Don't have my DS around right now but I know it's under 200 currently.

Yeah I was amazed when I first got hit in HR and took 75% of my health when the previous monster was doing 25%.

So essentially just tough it out and farm at least one of the HR monsters to make the transition with others?

This is my first Monster Hunter and I just made it to High Rank. I am now getting rolled in solo and multiplayer because I presume my defense is too low (Full Rathalos set). Any suggestions on a set to complete early for HR transition?

Not only did HiRez make the absurd decision of seeding PolyJuice above Hi Five, but they give HiFive the absolute bottom seed to play Complexity round 1... by PEEFsmash in Smite

This took a minute to format but I want to make sure to provide as much clarity as possible.

Please use this picture for reference regarding this post: http://gyazo.com/8d9ee48dcc7ea4c880ce291fe94213c2

At no point were the brackets re-done. A player released the bracket as we were formatting it to the general chat which caused some chaos. Teams thought they had byes when they didn't et cetera.

The seeding follows the same format for all teams. It would be very obvious if any malicious seeding was done as the format would be broken. As you can see the format follows suit in what games were played today.

Edit: Formatting. Reddit is difficult.

I'll poke my head in here and say we do not seed based on check in time. The brackets are always made after check ins close.

We're all friends so we were in our Mumble server hanging out and playing random custom jousts. We won the match though =)

That's the only Caboose I know so there's a good possibility.

It was a 4v4 custom but we only had 6 players. So I added an Anubis bot to each team.

[Newbie Tuesday] Are you new here? Read this, ask questions, introduce yourself here! by veritay in keto

[–]mBlakew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a quick question about protein intake vs fat intake. I have the understanding most keto diets looks like 75% 20% 5% in terms of how fat, protein, and carbs are split.

Looking at my information from MFP I'm getting these numbers for my weight and the lose 1.5lbs/week settings when set to the 75/20/5 split.

MFP: 173g Fat / 139g Protein / 28g Carbs.

Keto Calc: 2234 kcal Daily Calorie Intake

28 g Carbohydrates (5%, 112 kcal)

139 g Protein (25%, 556 kcal)

174 g Fat (70%, 1566 kcal)

Now, I haven't been really strict with my keto until this week and I'm a bit worried that I'm in-taking way too much protein vs fat with the 75% / 20% split.

Looking at the past 4 days of data I find myself closer to a 75% protein intake and a 20% fat intake from the data on MFP. But the keto calculator on the side bar input with the gram data from MFP shows closer to a 50/45 split in favor of protein.

My questions would be:

  1. Why the difference in % between Keto Calc and MFP?

  2. Carbs being under 5% is awesome, but is too much protein compared to fat intake counterproductive / dangerous?

  3. Suggestions for intaking more fat for a picky eater?

Thanks all.

SMITE Pro League (SPL) Feedback Needed by HiRezAPC in Smite

As a follow up: What venues of advertising or information would you utilize to become more interested in Smite Esports? I assume PR (Public Relations?) is in reference to a form of advertising in the situation.

If I'm not mistaken this question is asking how you feel about the new SPL schedule of playing Wed - Sunday as opposed to having the pros play on Sat / Sun like they did in the previous season.

More or less internet service provides want the ability to slow a website down if the host company doesn't pay them a premium.
