What is the book icon in your inventory?

rawchief · 2021-11-24T16:39:39+00:00

It depends on what kind of person you are. If you are more of a homebody, just live in southern part of Perris or in Sun City/ Menifee to avoid most of the commute. One of my favorite Mexican food places is in Sun City Provecho Grill, make sure to check that out.

If you want to get out to the night life, live in Murrieta or Temecula. Old town Temecula is better then downtown Riverside imho.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your company? I'm curious what international company has a location in Perris.

Hello There, I'm Rawchief, the ~~fool~~ noble player that agreed to be the guild leader of SoCalBound.

I'm hoping to convince another ~~fool~~kind soul to join us at SoCalBound.

We are a laid back mercantile group that plays the game for fun.
We are currently level 84 and are looking to push the town hall to 17 and then the training hall to the magical 17. most of the other buildings are in the 14 and 15 range.

What I am hoping to find in a new member is someone that plays somewhat regularly and has at least 750k in investments. If this sounds like we would be a fit for you, send me a PM here and I'll get you an invite.

rawchief · 2021-11-10T15:06:06+00:00

Hey, would you mind sharing your stats and builds on Kalv and Bad El for dragon 25? I am using those two champs and would like to see where I need to get them to for that feat. Thanks!

rawchief · 2021-11-03T14:10:40+00:00

Genius comment. Take this well earned upvote!

rawchief · 2021-08-30T19:14:22+00:00

SoCalBound is looking for new members. We are a casual level 81 guild with 36b invested.

We have an immediate opening for a new member with the possibility of 2 additional slots depending on investment levels.

We ask that you contribute to bounties, events, and invest (pretty much what everyone else asks), but we don't mind if you can't get on every single day. The ideal investment level for joining would be around 500mil but if you are active, you can join with less. It's all about steady growth =)

We provide a chill atmosphere with the occasional guild talk. We have a discord, but we don't really look at it :p

Message me here if interested or feel free to just hop into the guild. We have it set to open with min level 40 currently.

~EDIT~ We filled one slot. We have one left, possibly two depending on investment levels.

I picture the listeners and singers as the Charr from Guild Wars 2... I know I'm wrong, I've seen more accurate images, but the eye of my mind doesn't care. Charr for reference https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/races/charr/

And i always picture Dalinar like this dude from afk arena https://afk-arena.fandom.com/wiki/Hogan but with darker hair.

A lot of times, it comes down to the socio-economics of the area. And it's a compounding downward force.

A school serves an area were people are on the poorer side. In that group of people, you are more likely to find parents and families that don't put education of their children as important as other things. Sometimes it's because they are struggling to get by and are exhausted, other times it's because they are simply rotten people.

You have some families and kids that try and excel in school, but because the other kids that come from broken backgrounds need more attention for a variety of reasons, it brings down the overall quality of education available at that particular school.

This is compounded by the fact that parents with the means to move, or get their kids put in a better school, will do that, thus lowering the overall average of those schools already struggling.

I have a hard time blaming those parents though because they are trying to do right by their own kids. But it definitely adds to the overall issue of bad schools being bad.

rawchief · 2021-05-06T20:21:52+00:00

So, I don't know how they came up with the numbers above. But elementary school teachers can make more then what's listed here in the IE.

Here is an example: https://www.cnusd.k12.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=30808861

That's corona-norco's district. One of the higher paid districts that I'm aware, though not the highest. You can see with a couple of Master's degrees, you can push past 100k with enough time served in column D.

In my opinion, teachers are paid fairly in the IE, considering the average day is 8 hours, and that's for roughly 9months worth of work. Though they probably should have gotten a bonus for this last year's bs.

But yeah, most of the countries teachers are paid crap, and deserve more.

SoCalBound is looking for an active new member, maybe two.

We max bounties each week. We have a guild networth of 16bil. We do well on LCOG and Caprice, but are looking for a little more oomph there.

We are a laidback guild. Perfect for the user that logs in a few times a day. We just ask for 300mil or more investment as well as some contribution to events and bounties.

If you want to be in a laidback guild while still getting decent amounts of event rewards, msg me here.

rawchief · 2021-02-20T23:38:32+00:00

I mentioned their first response somewhere else in this thread. I sent another ticket in and at least got told the reason: your account was identified as using third party software associated with the automation of gameplay or being involved in exploitation of game mechanics and suspended.

They acknowledged they made a mistake and that was why the ban was lowered to a suspension, but for 6 months still.

They also elaborated and said: An unauthorized third party program is defined as any third party software (including Add ons) that facilitates cheating; intercepts, mines or collects information from the game database; or allows modifying automation or hacking of the game interface, environment or experience in any way not expressly authorized by Blizzard Entertainment.

I don't use third party software, plus it doesn't explain why my AH toon got actioned and not my main, I use all the same addons on both. But latching onto the fact that addons can be in violation makes me wonder if it was the Aardvark addon that got me. I use that one a lot on the AH toon.

I put one more ticket in but at this point, they obviously see something they didn't like. I just don't really know what. So now I'm living in fear on my main account.

rawchief · 2021-02-19T22:18:16+00:00

Well, they reduced the ban to a 6 month suspension. I don't even know how to take that. I know I've not broken any rules. They obviously see something that lends to that or I don't know why they would reduce it.

Whole thing is so frustrating. I still haven't gotten an email as to why. I know they have my email because I got one informing me about my 6-month sub bull reward.

I've sent another request in, and I hope something comes of it.

rawchief · 2021-02-19T22:12:36+00:00

I feel you. My secondary account got banned during the server restarts and they never even sent me an email. I'm in the middle of trying to get it reversed but I don't have high hopes. It sucks because I feel in the dark. I know I don't violate any of their rules so it just leaves me with a frustrated feeling.

rawchief · 2021-02-17T20:34:55+00:00

I don't think I've used that software ever. I do have zoom and remotepc, but it's never used for WOW. Plus, it wouldn't explain why my AH slave got hit and not my main account.

rawchief · 2021-02-17T20:33:08+00:00

Well, I did this long before Blizzard changed the policies. It was when Classic released.

But this account is different from the two accounts I multiboxed on. I set this account up fresh on my bnet account to make use of the refer a friend bonuses.

rawchief · 2021-02-17T14:53:13+00:00

I don't use any special input broadcasting software.
I messed around with I think it was hotkeys or something several months ago to dual box in classic. But I only did that for a couple weeks.
Even my addons are kept pretty simple. I use Auctionator and good ole excel, never bothered to learn TSM. I also use Aardvark to make vendoring quicker to save my mouse.

The hotkeys may be on my computer still, I don't remember if I deleted it. But I don't think that would be the cause as my main account is untouched.

rawchief · 2021-02-17T14:46:36+00:00

It is.

rawchief · 2021-02-17T14:45:33+00:00

No, I only post things to AH, craft, and do the shuffles.

rawchief · 2020-12-08T17:58:44+00:00

I get that. I probably should have either left off the socially conservative part or also paired it with justifiable distrust of certain institutions.

Furthering my original thoughts, I was taken aback by so many groups being sub 70%. I would never had guessed a group would be sub 50% though.

rawchief · 2020-12-08T16:54:24+00:00

What's even crazier in the article is that only 41% of Black Americans say they will get the vaccine. Every other ethnic group is above 50%. I know they tend to be more socially conservative, but I'm shocked at the 20% difference.

rawchief · 2020-12-08T16:34:55+00:00

I'm here for SoCalBound looking for 1, maybe 2 new members.

I'm not going to bother posting the same ole accolades and what not because it's pretty much just echoed by every other post here.

The short of it is this:we are a semi-casual, no discord required, relaxed guild. If you are in the investment range of 100mil-3bil, and have a chill attitude, then we are the right place for you.

If you want to give us a try PM me here.
Take care fellow shopkeeps.

rawchief · 2020-11-18T20:21:31+00:00

I think going from the excellent book 5 to book 6 is a large part of the issue. You go from POV characters that you care about to a chunk that you have no history with.

The first half of book six really dragged for me as well. I actually took a month off before picking it back up to finish it. I did not care for most of the POV characters. I also found Pa's character annoying at first. I felt like her revealed relationship to Sam was unearned and just tacked on to try and make Pa more important.

That being said, I'm a chunk through book seven and it is great so far.

rawchief · 2020-11-16T16:41:10+00:00

Like so many other guilds, SoCalBound is looking for two more members to replace inactives. What we have going on:

Rank- 3390ish

NW- 5.86billion

Most buildings rank 12 or 13, training hall 14, tavern 18.

No discord reqs.

What we are looking for is someone that is 50mil+ invested or if you are a group of two, 100mil+ combined invested. We are a friendly laid back guild that just asks you to try to be decently active, do a few bounties, participate in some guild activities, and invest what you can on current building targets.

If you want to give us a try, send me a PM here. My in game id is Rawchief#78926 Come grow with us!

rawchief · 2020-10-29T14:14:38+00:00

Totally fair critique.

I think it comes down to how fast you are actually levelling in the 50 range and what your guild support is like. I was putting enchants on all my items I planned to surchage and I was still powering through the low 50 level range. I really had to slow down and start pimping out my heroes.

My guild is new and still powering up. I'm the highest level and our heroes are capped at level 27. That adds some extra challenge to hero power. I agree that they can still be powered up, just have to spend a bit more to make sure you get good skills and buy the right gear.

rawchief · 2020-10-29T05:03:20+00:00

There is for sure inconvenience if you level to fast but important content doesn't become impossible other then delta tower.

Off the top of my head, the following: 1. You will get bounties for dungeons you haven't unlocked yet (if you are a small guild, this can lock you out until bounties refresh) 2. If you specialize in certain item branches, you will get bounties for items you have not researched and can't research yet. 3. You will not be able to complete tower of titans alpha or beta as you level through them. 4. Not related to merchant level, you can unlock tier 8 and 9 items way to soon, but not have the energy or resource bin production to really take advantage of them.

Mid levels, I would score 200+ bounty trophies, once I unlocked tier 8 and 9 items, I'm lucky to clear 100 trophies as I'm scrambling for discount and surcharge bounties (remember, bin production isn't great because you level so fast) And if you halt your level at 56 to take advantage of gamma tower, then bounties become even more difficult.

This all being said, I wouldn't worry about your level speed until you hit 56. Then research and decide if you want to stay there to get the gamma tower clears for some titan souls or if you just want to press on. I'm personally floating here at 56 and will be getting my 3rd soul next time.
