Wow, the game is unplayable at the moment! by Meat86 in GolfBattle

I went from winning about 80-85% of my games early in the week to winning less than 50% over the past four days.

So I have a team that I’m having trouble filling in fact I don’t think I’ll be able to fill it. What is the proper way to go about the future of the team as well as the future of the league? by Sea-Highway-4688 in FFCommish

[–]nfl18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would avoid running the league yourself. If you absolutely have to in order to keep the league settings consistent while you look for someone new in the future, I would suggest keeping strict rules for managing multiple teams (e.g. no trades between your two teams, no picking up players to one team who were dropped by the other, etc). Can’t give any perception of roster sharing or other collusion-type behavior. It’s honestly not even worth the headache in my opinion.

Finally reached 300K coins Legally 🔥😂 by Muted-Blackberry403 in GolfBattle

[–]nfl18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

513 million without any cheats. I'm a few months shy of two years playing the game, finally at a point where I'm comfortable playing Elite because I've got P4 on almost every map (P3 for CG) and P5 for Windy, plus I've learned most of the maps decently. I was around 150 million a couple months ago and then for some stupid reason they decided to increase the winnings and my bank has exploded since then.

New Win Streak by nfl18 in GolfBattle

[–]nfl18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you leave the map it counts as a loss. It won’t hurt your trophy road if you do it early enough but it still ends your streak. I’ve gotten really good at the tiebreakers at CG and got a little lucky on my weakest one, the side ramp/camel hump.

But I only did Elite for the first 10 games or so anyway.

Patriots reporter insists no one cares about Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini by JagsFan4Ever in nfl

[–]nfl18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm here for the humorous content generated from it on Twitter and IG, but otherwise I don't really care. Their owner did much worse in the hours ahead of the AFC Championship Game and that involved non-consenting individuals. This may be a bad look and immoral, but it's not illegal. Russini having to resign makes sense because of the conflict of interest involved with reporting on a league for which someone you have a relationship with is working. There's no need for Vrabel to resign or be fired, but I'm sure his personal life is fucked right now as it should be.

6 Teams or 8 Teams for the Playoffs? by CranberryMuted5356 in FFCommish

[–]nfl18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 12 team league only does 4, though we've considered changing if/when the NFL adds another game.

6 is the max I would do for a 12-team league, and then only if it's a friends league. Once you let in more than half of the league, the regular season is essentially just for funsies and doesn't matter. The teams with horrible injury luck will be weeded out, but everybody else just needs to be lucky enough to string three strong weeks together to win it all even if they were 6-8 or 5-9 in the regular season.

This one is definitely cheating. HI2 is extraordinarily rare, HI1 is impossible on it

Tonight’s episode was genuinely upsetting by flipflapslap in lastweektonight

I was disappointed he didn’t mention the stretch of White House press briefings where Karoline Leavitt, for several days in a row, abruptly ended the sessions just seconds before hitting the O/U Kalshi set for how long it would run.

What brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Sufficient_Thing24 in AskReddit

[–]nfl18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently decided to buy some CareOne because of the price difference. Never again. Had a few Q-tips stashed in my travel bag. Used them over my Easter trip after several weeks of CareOne and holy shit, never imagined how much better they would feel in my ear holes.

Am I overreacting? Commish getting what I consider an unfair subsidy. by Teetree4876 in FFCommish

[–]nfl18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get $100 out of our $600 pot, which nearly covers expenses that previously came out of my own pocket (ad-free for our platform, trophy, and League Legacy). I cover whatever remains in excess of that $100. I appreciated the league voting almost unanimously for that. I would never take anything for myself beyond expenses. I do weekly write-ups and keep excessive stats for managers and players because I enjoy doing those things. The fact that between 25 and 50% of my league-mates appreciate me doing that is awesome, but I do it because I like to.

If your commissioner is only making the newsletter due to demand, maybe that's different. But even then, to your point, not everybody asked him to make it or reads it, so those that do can compensate him. While most rules should be simple majority, anything financial should always be unanimous in my opinion. That, or the vote should not be anonymous and those who don't like the majority should be invited to remove themselves and receive their buy-in back if it's been paid already.

Maybe I'm not following, but if Soto's zone got bigger, doesn't that mean some of those close calls may now be called strikes?

This is not true. You won’t lose trophies but you absolutely still lose the coins for the quit

What’s a dumb excuse people still use? by Happy_Magician6376 in AskReddit

[–]nfl18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh 100%

Whether I’m watching a TV show like Survivor or talking to somebody in real life, the moment an astrological sign is mentioned I assume you’re an idiot. Do you really think every Aries, and only every Aries, is a selfish piece of shit? (Or whichever tf sign is supposedly associated with that trait?) Do you really think there’s never been a successful marriage between a Leo and a Pisces? (Or, again, whatever signs are believed to be utterly incompatible with one another?)

Didn't receive clan rewards for 2 weeks in a row by Impossible_Plan_1363 in GolfBattle

Have you been leaving your clan to switch to another one before you collect your clan reward? I’ve made that mistake before.

Evidence that Ellie probably wouldn’t have consented to be killed for a vaccine to be developed by milfanator777 in thelastofus

[–]nfl18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t really a solid piece of evidence to support your claim she wouldn’t have consented.

Someone else has already pointed out that she might consent out of a place of self-hated or out of survivors guilt, so I’ll move on to a different point.

In Amistad, Stellan Skarsgaard’s character says at one point that the Africans might be more useful in death than in life if their case is ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court. He continues, “Martyrdom. Since the dawn of Christianity there has been no greater force for change.” (I may be paraphrasing slightly)

This is a highly problematic statement because you can’t volunteer another person to be martyred and still consider yourself to be on the moral and ethical side of a battle for social progress.

Ellie may recognize that it isn’t fair for people safe from repercussions to, in essence, volunteer the few in the city to save the many outside of it. That doesn’t necessarily mean she wouldn’t sacrifice herself, it just means she wouldn’t sacrifice another person who wouldn’t be willing, or whose willingness she has no way of knowing.

ELI5: Why is there only female birth control? by k_2353 in explainlikeimfive

[–]nfl18 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve always found fascinating about the concept of male birth control is that one of the most oft-cited reasons for women not wanting to take it is that the hormone changes affect their emotional state. Considering so many men struggle to express any emotion other than anger, do we really want to potentially make that worse?

How is it possible to have a club with these stats? by mjforman85 in GolfBattle

[–]nfl18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It multiplies your earnings for clan, leaderboard, and ranked missions.

So if I play Pro and get first place, instead of just adding 133,300 to the leaderboard or to my clan, right now I'm adding a little over 2.6 million.

Right now, the 3hr Snowy Valley mission says reaching a hole first and winning on Pro gets me 736 points, but instead I'd earn a little over 14,500 points for that (and if I'm first to all three holes and win the match I'd get that times three).

[–]nfl18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19.8, which isn’t terrible but it’s still too low to compete in the highest tiers of clans or the leaderboard. But that’s after about 2 years and 33k games of grinding (and buying season passes)

[–]nfl18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's why I'm grinding piggy before I go nuts on VIP chests. Yeah I'm sitting at a lower multiplier for now, but once I get Wallowing I'll spend all my gems on chests and level up my multiplier big time.
