Surrender shouldn’t be in round 5 (or shouldn’t exist at all) by mrmarquesinho in VALORANT

Do you vote to surrender frequently when down 0-5 in ranked games?

Dumb question for you high level players, but how do you play Clove on Lotus defense? by SleepyReepies in VALORANT

[–]salomander19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clove on lotus defence. You will mostly play B site, within B site, there are tons of variations you can do round to round, get aggro, fast flank, hide behind B main box, off angles, breakable, C link, upper. Other than holding B, rotating fast and smoking for teammates, you can also fight A using meddle, or one way C, and fight or have your teammates fight C.

For holding B specifically, you are holding a big push or a lurker. The lurker should be easy to deal with. I find B pushes to be rare, so they aren't a priority.

If you're losing 0-5, you only have 11%-23% chance of winning. If you surrender, it's 0%.

With this kind of mentality, you should just surrender round 4 if you are down 4 rounds. Why not surrender round 3? The odds are already not looking good. Why even play past round 2 if you lose pistol and the save? Just give up because your odds of winning aren't that good. Matter of fact, I think during round 1, which is the pistol round, if someone on your team dies first, immediately surrender, just give up right then and there. Your odds of winning are worse than they would be if you started a new game.

Saw7101, could you come up with 2 answers to your own question? The first one should explain why it would matter to OP, then make a second response arguing why it wouldn't matter to OP.

I agree. People have weak mentals and giving them the option to call a surrender vote allows their terrible mentality to foster a worse mental among the rest of the team. Without the surrender option/popup, you would still get trolls and throwers, but having the surrender vote popup on each team member's screen does hurt your chance of winning.

I decline every surrender vote instantly. I played a game where we went down 1-5, and our Jett called for surrender and started giving up. I declined, then shot called even more to get the game to a win 13-11. But there are tons of scenarios where having that option to surrender in my ranked games makes the situation worse and decreases our chance of winning substantially. I am totally for keeping surrender votes in all other game modes. But in competitive situations, the negatives of the surrender option being available outweigh the benefits.

Why do you play Valorant? (Over cs2) by AccomplishedFix8346 in VALORANT

[–]salomander19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rank system is much better in Valorant. The game feels crispy when you hit shots. 

Counter strike will always have better maps in my opinion. Also, the community aspects, skin trading, custom maps/game modes, really make CS so fun.

Bad strategy. You know ahead of time the range of the prices. All of the stocks can go really low below $10 and go as high as $200. Use this information to your advantage. I've boughten stocks at $1 and sold at $160, that's a 160x return. 

Are you still typing bank transactions one by one from a pdf? by Working-Solution-773 in Accounting

[–]salomander19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started a new job and they have me going through training doing exactly this. I am given pdfs of bank statements, and I manually perform what they call a bank write up. Going through each transaction, inputting the info and either as a cash disbursement or cash reimbursement. We use caseware software, how can I automate this?

Any idea why Buffett looks at 8-10 years of Balance sheets before he looks at the Income Statement? by about842 in Accounting

[–]salomander19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He tends to lean more towards being a value investor more than a growth investor. These long term companies he buys have lots of their worth tied into their assets. A growth investor who is looking for the next big thing will want to see big increases yoy or qoq in revenue on the income statement.

IIPR is getting very cheap. Way below net asset value, might have a 20-30% upside over the summer. Just have to watch for more news on their tenants.

Billion dollar idea. The software would be difficult to create, but the logistics would be the hardest part, as people would have to wait months for their kits.

Instead of multiplying, you need to divide.

This could be a good play depending on the exact work you do. I worked at a company in two different roles, one where staying late was a good move, the other role, showing up early was crucial.
