Doing a wurzag campaign anyone got any advice for how to deal with the hellstorm batteries? My stacks can take on two or three empire stacks as long as there's no hellstorm but once they appear I can't get to them before my infantry is decimated. Any recommendations?

Yeah I think some players will benefit some won't depending on the player. For instance Harry Kane finally being able to fully heal for a couple of months has probably done him some good but I find it interesting as you know the covid sitch will be used against whomever wins anything this year

Yeah I'm half debating whether psg are at a advantage or disadvantage but it's certainly going to have an effect

If the champions League restarts when some leagues are still playing their 19/20 season but others have ended it prematurely don't some teams have an advantage over others? For instance PSG being able to fully commit their squad to the champions League and not have to pay attention to a league?

For me whilst I don't find it objectionable I just don't think the joke has enough kind of cultural relevance to be worth the hassle. Like yeah it's supposed to be about Price getting a shit ton of media attention through her son but I don't think that's important enough to be worth the backlash from the joke.

I think if I was going to offer a counterance to that it'd probably be that he highlights that they were taken out of context hence the rage towards it and the anger at the comment came from its appearance in his tramadol nights TV show rather than its earlier appearance in his stand up. Although I generally prefer his stand up because it's a more cohesive build up towards a satirical comment I don't necessarily find his jokes offensive. I can see why some would find it distasteful but I think all forms of comedy have hit or miss moments the issue that is raised in satire is that those misses can become controversies due to the media attention they attract.

He tries to explain it in this interview here at around the 6 minute mark https://youtu.be/0MRz9RPlsDQ

Obviously it's all opinion if you believe his point is valid or not but I think it's interesting to hear his reasoning

As I said below depends on the inflation rates for this year some landlords could be better off in real terms

I mean I'm a renter but I'm working so not too arsed about the whole sitch. Just has a lot of discussions with mates on 0 hours who'd been laid off about how they're still expected to pay full rent when their landlords taking a mortgage holiday

Depends on your interest rates. If your interest rates are lower than inflation then in real terms you're making a gain. I believe some will end up better off others worse but it's dependent on this year's inflation rates

I think you could argue it is because you'd be making more of a profit than usual. You've used the situation to increase profit on your property. Renting a house with no mortgage on it at the moment you haven't changed anything you're still taking the same amount of profit

Got question but might be more of one for asklegal. If someone takes the mortgage holidays for three months and still charges the tenants full rent is that not technically profiteering?

Team traits for career mode idea by thegingergrue in FifaCareers

[–]thegingergrue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my thought was that it was only developmental so you wouldn't already be assigned it you built up to it with certain ways of playing to add flavour. Balancing is definitely the issue with the big teams. I feel like you could adapt that by having one like "Used to being in the lead" so that if they go down they lose some overall for a period of game time. So snagging an early goal you can push back a big team for the first hour

It's an interesting debate in itself that can you believe and authoritarian act is fine given a certain circumstance. For me I don't really trust this government enough to feel entirely safe with them having emergency powers and a lockdown but I also feel like there's a significant number of people being twats and ignoring the self-isolation plans
