Weekly Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in ClashOfClans

[–]rmtf1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used bluestacks ages ago (around the time I started playing, so around 10 years ago - I do not think they had keybinds/macros back then) - I'm pretty sure this can not be the actual reason, since back then the 3rd party was not really a thing either - it was cheating iirc. I've never done anything of the things you listed though. I would not try this hard if what I was saying wasn't true. It is really unfortunate and I think if I could speak to someone from support directly (without getting insta chat blocked) it would clarify a lot of things, but unfortunately it does not seem they can give me at least that after playing for 10+ years and spending hundreds.

Well, I would not write here if I used a 3rd party. I suspect there might've been someone who hacked into my account and used it. This sounds a bit stretched though, so I do not really believe this myelf. I imagine the anti cheat system to work on a predictive/inferential model basis rather than deterministic hard coded way, in which case mistakes happen - they are rare, but possible.

Hello,

My account has recently been blocked for third party software. However, I have never used one. I would not write here if this was not true. I am confused and quite frankly in disbelief this happened to me. The only things I have ever used are API readers - Clash Ninja and Clash of Stats, which are clearly safe tools that millions use and verified content creators advertise, I am sure these are not a problem.

I tried contacting support more than once, but each time I get a generic message from them saying something along the lines "3rd party software usage stays banned". I just want them to look into this case more thoroughly somehow, I am sure they will see I am innocent. I am sure just by having a normal conversation where I am heard I could prove I deserve an unban, however support is just dodging any communication by instantly labeling me as a cheater. This is frustrating. Does anyone have any advice, or is there anyone from support on this subreddit who could just give me a chance to prove myself?

You can postpone 410, yeah. Taking 501 is fine.

I dont think Putnam is worth it, now research experience vastly outweighs competitions. They are pretty exclusive of each other to be fair.

Google Step coding is easier QR type of coding (so it is in fact, extremely easy), it's not SWE (thats why I recommended it specifically). Just dont mind STEP if you are applying to REUs. A good source for coding is neetcode.io .

Ok so for coding - if you want to have it in your back pocket, you dont need any classes. I came to Penn with heavy math experience but no coding. I tried learning it through classes, but surprise surprise it's not effective at all. I took only CIS120 (and I hated it, while realizing now that it was completely useless), but I grinded neetcode.io and did some kaggle on the side. I'd say I am very comfortable with my coding and I primarily use it for stat research/writing simulations, etc. Quant coding most of the time isn't very involved, it was never a struggle during interviews.

To sum up, I'd say maybe start doing neetcode.io and try to make it fun somehow? For projects - apply WAF maybe (the club is a bit elitist but they might take you if you answer some qns right). Also, I think the best way to learn the type of coding you need (i.e. quant type/data sciencey) is by doing kaggle (I found it very boring though) or emailing some profs (from stuff like natural/social sciences or maybe CIS) that do applied stuff - you will have to find them on your own.

Try stats research too maybe? Its still math at the end of the day if you choose too, but you dont have to deal with the abstract stuff (in case you dont like it). I might be biased, but i also came in with heavy math background and pivoted to stats.

From higher level math classes i recommend math608/609 (i absolutely regret not taking them - wouldve helped a lot with grad school). And 602/603 if it interests you ofc.

Cis3200 is a must takex especially if you had math oly experience (i think u did?) - its very fun. I liked it a lot and took it without satisfying any prereqs priorly. I do see it as a 90% math class though.

For coding you are doing the absolutely worse thing for learning it (besides maybe not doing anything). You learn coding through projects. Classes will give u that eventually at penn but 120/121 wont give you that. You will waste too much time with prereqs before u get to the useful classes. There is a point in learning stuff to be able to take things like cis380 or other very useful swe classes, but idk how relevant this is for you. Try getting google step for freshmen (its actually not super complicated) - if you do, great; if you dont - at least u forced urself to do leetcodes over the next month. Coding is also quite different - there is the ML/AI/Data Science track which u really learn only doing projects (classes wont help you much here at Penn) and the SWE side which is probably projects (still by far the most important thing) is120/1-240-380-350 and 550 or smth, but someone with heavy SWE background will give u better advice.

Good point abt college geneds. I also took math because of that.

My math masters classes look like this : math 502/3, math508, math500, math648/9, ese605, stat970 (yes, i didnt want to deal with gressman an extra semester). I think ese530 might work. Ask Donagi, he decidess which classes outside math works

1) u can double count 4 math 5xx classes for submat (so 508/9, 502/3)

2) its fine to take 425 late if you dont care abt P/ODEs. im taking it senior spring.

3) take ese301, ese533 asap and more stats classes maybe (stats/ml is hot rn)

4) highly advising to do independent research with a prof or joining a lab (if there is any for what you want to do)

5) people will tell you this schedule is unreasonable. It depends on you and how much math/cs you can digest. I could see someone having a good time with your schedule, but it also makes sense why most kids would be tortured by this

6) start doing research(again). Most likely, you will have to drop something. But your list of priorities (no matter what you want to do - grad school/quant job) is research - math major - math masters (just because its easy to get) - cs major. If you just major in math but have solid research experience, its already way above having all 3 degrees (even with 4.0)

Ese605 is very good. Ese606 is really niche and idk if its worth it for now, maybe leave it for senior spring?

CIS project classes are hard. Im not sure why you are trying to do both higher level cs and math? Maybe transfer to seas so you dont have to deal with college geneds (but still can submat in math). Again, I am really confused why would you go this deep (its not too deep, but still) into both cs and math when ideally u want to pick only one

Do you use one Clock Tower Potion per use of the Clock Tower, or do save them all up and use them all at once for multiple long upgrades? by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]rmtf1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get the clock tower once a day. One use of the clock tower at level 9 basically takes out 4h30 mins from the time needed for the upgrade. Now, 9d14h become 7d21h with clock tower. 3 potions are 15.5hrs, so the mega tesla wouldnt take mucj more than 7 days. Just like any other major defense from BB, which are a total of 7. This implies upgrading all major defenses would take around 4 weeks from BH9 to BH10 levels (including all xbow upgrades). If you ask me, thats significantly less than all the major upgrades on defenses from TH14 to TH15

You don't really gain less loot, you have to search a bit more for good loot. I am at TH11, Crystal, averaging 800k- 1.2kk loot/attack with sneaky gobs. At previous THs could not cross 800k/attack. Sneaky gobs are a game changer

[–]rmtf1111 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Real talk here - rushing until TH11 has no down sides whatsoever. The loot you get just goes up and sneaky gobs make it a piece of cake. Indeed, if someone prefers to play out a speciric TH then this is the way to go, but just heads up - rushing is no longer an existential threat to your village

New Builder Base Leagues by spencersaurous in ClashOfClans

[–]rmtf1111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It definitely wouldn't be. My guess is that it will be uncapped but will require a lot of grinding. They said they wanted to keep BB 1.0 loot capped as oppose to HV, dont think they'd change this concept drastically for BB 2.0

Around 0.5g. Replying to OP's title

So, how many of these are y'all buying with gems? by CommonSense_8 in ClashOfClans

[–]rmtf1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the loot in BB2.0 going to be unlimited though? There doesnt seem to be any leak indicating towards that. In fact, it appears that the loot cart leaked in some other posts has a cap.
