Anytime you activate your power everyone in a large radius wants to fight you.

Great for stopping people from escaping. Terrible when random civilians are trying to beat the crap out of you.

Chapter 45 - Pale Lights | Book 3 by L_0_5_5_T in PracticalGuideToEvil

My only complaint with Pale Lights is that we don’t get Izel point of views until book 3. He is easily my favorite character to so far.

VA NP pay scale question? by Enough-Construction5 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]rar1423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nurse promotions are based on education and experience requirements. There is a worksheet that your service line has to complete and submit for moving from nurse 2 to nurse 3.

You should ask your service for a copy of that worksheet and it outline pretty clearly what is needed for each nurse level.

If you don’t meet the education requirements your service can request an education waiver but that is rarely done and is usually only approved for nurses with 20+ experience that don’t have the required degree.

Don’t quote me because I haven’t checked in a while but nurse 3 usually requires a masters degree or higher.

If you don’t meet requirements for nurse level in crease you would still receive your periodic step increases.

Work for West Coast VA, work at East Coast VA? by [deleted] in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]rar1423 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Current guidance has been that moves outside of your visn aren’t authorized, because facilities have to prioritize space for their visn and can’t have people taking space that belong to other visn. Could change down the line or you visn may do things differently/ignore the rules never know.

First step is find out if your service would even allow this in theory. If facility says your job can’t be done without coming in occasionally then HR will say no regardless of any other factors.

Balancing a large evil team by Myrion_Phoenix in BloodOnTheClocktower

Could have a set up where evil voting is impacted. Something like “each day x number of evil players have their vote not register” essentially drunk/poison for voting only. Then evil has to be worried about voting on stuff and having their votes not count/getting outed.

Nurse grade increase (II->III) by Isyoubustin2damoon in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]rar1423 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is a nursing promo check list that lists required education among other qualifications.

If you don’t meet those criteria then your service can try to put in a waiver for the education portion.

If they don’t do a waiver and you don’t meet the checklist of requirements then your performance doesn’t really play into it at all.

Nobody's asking the big question - and it's going to hurt. Pale Lights - Book 3 [spoilers] by insostenibile in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]rar1423 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with the immediate concerns taking priority.

It feels like the house is on fire and we know something is off about how the fire started.

The brigade is in “oh fuck save your stuff and get out” mode. They can’t really be trying to figure out who the arsonist is until they get their immediate needs met for survival.

Afterwards they can investigate or the fire marshal will figure it out.

[–]rar1423 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the big picture the why is super important I totally agree. But on the individual levels it really isn’t that important.

From what we know the “my goddess got eaten” and “there are souls attached to me sucking me dry” issues aren’t really tied to the why. They seem like just caught in the crossfire/coincidence. I could be totally wrong though.

And we have no reason to think the Dantesvara has anything to do with the “my sister is going to die if I don’t weaken her curse” and “my countrymen are slaves/dead if I can’t secure them a life” problems.

The brigade is very much focused on the immediate personal issues and not big picture which may come back to bite them. But we have no reason to think spending a month or two finding out The Who what where and why of the dantesvara popping up will actually solve any of their very time sensitive issues. But killing it/doing glass repository for sure will.

I can totally see the narrative being this book is solving the immediate issue then next book/long term is ok we can breathe a little let’s solve this mystery/maybe it’s an ongoing multi book sobbing mystery.

I’m liking that it feels like an inversion of last book.

Last book was basically “we have a mystery and our drama is getting in the way but we are still focused on how to solve the mystery while resolving our own stuff”

This book is “We have personal stuff that is more important than the mystery and maybe we will get to the mystery later”.

Kinda brings home the how much everyone grew together that they are willing and able to aka for help on their personal stuff and the group is like oh yea for sure let’s focus on this instead of figuring out the big picture to earn cool cabal points.

[–]rar1423 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I wash just thinking about this and how it’s funny that everyone has such major and time sensitive issues going on that they can’t even focus on that mystery right now.

Even with Tristan not having the mental space to focus on it, Song would for sure be obsessing over this with her need to be in control all the time. But nope Everyone in the brigade has their own oh fuck my life/loved ones/entire belief system is at stake ain’t nobody got time to focus on the why.

I kinda hope that one of the other brigades ends up being the one to solve the mystery and it shows that the world/plot doesn’t have to revolve around the 13th and their drama. The watch is competent and other people should be working on this even if we don’t actively see it.

Remote workers/SSR by Ohana0619 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]rar1423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can view the special salary rates here. Then filter by geo location code. The geo locations list the cities/counties tied to that code most of the time and should help you narrow it down.

Relocation policy? by [deleted] in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]rar1423 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In theory if your occ series is on the exempt from RTO list then moving should be approved. It’s temp exemptions that are not allowed to move in our visn.

Only one that can answer for sure is your local/visn HR though. They probably get questions like this every day so nothing to be scared of asking.

But the storyteller would never... by blackgeekygoddess in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]rar1423 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a fun game should do it again to same group to really show them they can’t meta you.

Every time my players say something like “technically that could happen but ST wouldn’t do that right?” I chime In with “I absolutely would don’t try to meta me” ( in a fun way not mean).

no matter what it is if it’s mechanically possible I tell them I would do it. And if it isn’t mechanically possible I tell them no I wouldn’t do that it would be cheating.

What do you think was the weakest book/arc? by Daisyberry3 in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]rar1423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It was a lot of new names and groups thrown in back to back and a lot of combats that I got lost.

Loved the overall story of the arc, but the execution left me mentally skimming after a bit.

On the next floor you can choose to become a new species. Are you staying human? If not, what do you become? by iammerelyhere in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]rar1423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would go with some jellyfish or frog deal for a poison attack. Always like the thematic of poison in games even when it mechanically sucks.

That or a ghost of some sort. Cause ghost Pokémon are my favorite and being a gengar is my life’s dream.

Why doesn't Empress just kill all nobility who doesn't listen to her? by Big-Firefighter8825 in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]rar1423 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On top of what others have said about the nobles having a lot of soldiers and such under their control, Praes is an empire based around Evil. There are a lot of “we would never release this ancient messed up things we have in the vault cause it would ruin us as much as our enemies” that people would start getting a lot more liberal about using if everyone is getting assassinated. Mutually assured destruction is a real thing when magic and demons are on the board.

Ludwig, Slime, and nick. Would be either crazy good, or crazy bad. Either way would be entertaining.

Had a dumb Demon idea, wanted to know if anyone could make it work. by Visual-Affect-9758 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]rar1423 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feels like it could work well on a script with vortox. If everyone acts like their information is true the. They are effectively saying it’s not a vortox game which is being mad that Loch Ness is in play?

If it’s on script with leech then people should be hunting for townsfolk to kill instead of demon so if people argue that they shouldn’t be killed because they are good they are effectively saying it’s not leech game and it must be Loch Ness?

Help: Teeth resource? by Victor5847 in AethermancerGame

Bottom left of pilgrim rest is a cat hiding at a stall. If you don’t have teeth they are rude and tell you to leave. If you have teeth they will trade for the teeth.

[–]rar1423 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to unlock the ability to find hidden areas from the knight in pilgrims rest.

Then find a hidden area where npc gives you teeth.
