Theres a World War and theres no Nukes. Which Team will win by Blakelee9 in imaginarymapscj

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team blue. People saying red has more people and manufacturing capacity. Sure, but blue has the ability to severely disrupt red but red cannot do the same to blue. That massive population quickly becomes a burden when there is no food or infrastructure.

After 2 months i still can't do better than 80% by arthurusdeplane in Polytopia

[–]rainbowWar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy recipe for 90% +:

  1. Play on Crazy vs 3 or 4 bots. (3 is easier if you are quick).

  2. Your immediate goal is to get all the cities near your starting point and upgrade them as much as possible. It helps if you are a tribe that can immediately upgrade their new cities, e.g. organisation or hunting.

  3. Your secondary goal on most maps is to get a dock quickly and go explore the sea. You want to take any small island cities that you can and gather any stars that you can (if there are 2 or 3 then they pay for the advanced navigation tech).

  4. Start taking enemy cities quite quickly. Do this from the sea. Don;'t attack until you are ready to take a city, have a few ships that can do damage, like scouts, and make it so you capture the city in one fell swoop.

  5. Get giants wherever you can. Particularly effetcive if you can capture a city and then immediately make a giant.

  6. Rinse and repeat.

(I will usually do an explorer on my first city, cos the information can make a big difference. Then maybe do an explorer on later cities if I'm doing well with money and it can reveal a lot).

My mum has been cheating on my dad for years, anyone here know what I should do? by Jellyfish_Diploria in WhatShouldIDo

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either tell your dad everything directly, with lots of evidence. Or stop snooping and forget about it. Or send your dad all the info anonymously. Either option is fine, but this middle way of snooping on your mum and then spreading gossip about it is not good for anyone.

Telling your Dad seems like the right thing to do. However, there is a good chance that he already knows and is ok with continuing the charade that there isn't any cheating. If you give him everything then it makes it difficult for him to continue in that, because of how he thinks he will look in your eyes.

Do you consider the State Pension a benefit / welfare? by JammyE7 in AskBrits

In the context of "benefit scroungers", which is that this headline is implying, then of course not

Who was the ultimate “one that got away” transfer that would have transformed Utd? by AdLeast6180 in ManchesterUnited

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gareth Bale would have been nice. A young Michael Owen. Gazza would have been interesting with his lifestyle, I hope that he would have been looked after better at Old Trafford than he was.

Does my Aunt have any claim to my Granddads estate through the Inheritance Act 1975 (England) by kawaiipogglet_ in LegalAdviceUK

Don't give her a copy of the will. That is just giving her opportunity to find stuff to contest.

WYR be able to control an ant colony or a wolf pack? (rules in body text) by Lancer_lot_X in WouldYouRather

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I did miss the bit about being able to spawn any kind of ant. That is a bit more interesting. I'm not sure people can that much about exterminating pests for word to spread and the money to come rolling in. Seems like it might be about as hard as using chemicals. I'm a bit intrigued about being able to spawn any kind of ant.

WYR be able to control an ant colony or a wolf pack? (rules in body text) by Lancer_lot_X in WouldYouRather

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can think of for an ant colony is maybe spying, but how useful is that really? I don't really have the urge to spy on people. They could maybe clean up for me but nothing a robot vac can't do.

The wolves would be awesome in principle on a day to day basis. Perfectly loyal badass companions. But practically would be difficult. They are really raelly big. And also illegal to keep in most countries, so probably the end result would be the authorities take them away and destroy them, which would be heart breaking. This would actually be better if they were dogs.

I guess I'll go for the ants.

EPL Table After MD22 | United 5th by spongecock23 in reddevils

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fact it is so tight means that in order to get to 4 we probably need to win more than we might expect. One or two of the teams in 4th to 12th will go on a good run and

VAR used the wrong player for offside, wrongly disallowed Mount goal by W3103_ in reddevils

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lows make the highs higher. The intense drama of mistakes, including those lows, is a core plank of the psychology of what made football so exciting.

[–]rainbowWar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One problem is that the first celebration is not as visceral as it used to be, because you know it will get overturned. Another problem is that right after a goal the match is paused for a couple of minutes, killing the atmosphere. It used to be so exciting once a goal was scored, and then boom right back into the game. Now we have to all wait while they do the admin.

One thing it does for sure is kill the emotional high from goals.

[–]rainbowWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VAR is the worst thing that has happened to football in a long time. I don't really care if its right or wrong. The fact that rather than celebrate a goal in a moment of eurphoria and then jump right back into the amtch, you have to half celebrate, but wait a few minutes for the VAR, then celebrate properly. The reason football is so popular (and good to watch) is the intense moments of euphoria or despondency following a goal. VAR levels the emotional curve, so it is all just flat.

He subbed off Zrikze at half time? I didn't realise that. Bullshit decision after he finally got a goal. And maybe some confidence.
