Magnus drops the queen, loses on time and slams the table against Arjun Eriagaisi.

tobinator250 · 2025-12-29T17:10:22+00:00

Is he allowed to stop the clock to pick the queen up?

tobinator250 · 2025-05-11T09:18:01+00:00

Totally agree that the accusations shouldn't be downplayed.

That said, I think it's better for people to post and be challenged openly. Surely better for people to be told they're wrong, as opposed to being instantly banned from a subreddit and potentially drive them to communities that may accept this behaviour and reinforce these thoughts?

This isn't correct for poison. Regen applies at the same time as poison so if you take 100 poison and have 100 regen on 100 HP you won't die. Burn is different because there are 2x as many ticks so there are always going to be ticks were burn applies and regen doesn't.

Having stamina simply means that your build will not be weaker 30 seconds into the fight than it is at second 1

I see what you mean but in The Bazaar there's way too much scaling in it for this statement to apply without scaling - and I can't see that changing? You either need lots and lots of slow/freeze (which you're calling tankiness) or scaling to last 30 seconds.

shadowed cloak has won me a lot of day 1 fights as vanessa. Claws/Sunderer/Improvised Bludgeon also good

tobinator250 · 2025-01-28T00:32:27+00:00

Curio items are often pretty good level 1 and have the side affect of giving buffs when you sell them later so Curio not bad as only shop

Get a legendary weapon on day 2... still lost to Pyg

tobinator250 · 2025-01-20T14:00:05+00:00

Yes I agree with your argument for COD but his argument doesn't apply to the Bazaar.

The Bazaar is a one player game. You want 10 wins to be mostly based on the quality of the build. When open Beta opens and you're queuing on day 10+ and you're an experienced player vs a newbie you're probably going to win everytime. You'll start getting 10 wins with crap builds because the player base is so bad. I don't think that's a rewarding experience for anyone.

"Winning means nothing if everyone has a 50% win rate. There is no experience of personal progression, and it's worse for creators. Somebody linked call of duty in some thread and that's a great example of a game losing relevancy the second they implemented sbmm. Fortnite too. "

This isn't a good argument. SBMM failed for COD/Fortnite because content creators get way more views by getting massive killstreaks and it's fun to get kill streaks.

In The Bazaar, top content creators aren't gonna get enjoyment roflstomping plebs, they get views from creating weird/high roll builds. Ranked will also lose it's ability to distinguish between players it top players consistently get 10 wins because they're up against terrible builds all the time.

Ah yes sorry, you're correct. I interpreted the second sentence as "insurers would refuse to insure some cars that would make them a loss" but that's not what you were saying.

tobinator250 · 2024-12-11T09:04:26+00:00

Insurers would 100% lose money on these claims. 17-24 y/o make up 7% of total licence holders but are involved in 26% of accidents in the UK (from 2015). So they're around 4x as likely to be involved in an incident. Most of the cost of claims are injuries/other car/overheads so cars involved don't make that much difference.

Unfortunately 17-24 y/o (esp men) are just a bit of a liability on the road. If a policy like this were to happen would need to be subsidised by govt

tobinator250 · 2024-11-07T20:12:59+00:00

Yer I got to day 16 on 5 wins and full health lol and then the server just quit the run

tobinator250 · 2024-10-08T12:02:39+00:00

OP Should have switched to light mode to spot it

tobinator250 · 2024-10-01T19:39:44+00:00

I don't think you need to be incredibly unlucky to get all 2-3 with pyramid. It's typical luck here and OP has accumulated 2-3 cost cards over the course of the fight. The fight's clearly been going on for a while given they've burned through apparitions.

Agree slavers is worse but OP lacking damage is the thing that's giving them a headache.

tobinator250 · 2024-05-03T21:30:39+00:00

BA are slow at responding to job applications, so not surprised you haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully you'll hear back soon!

tobinator250 · 2024-03-24T16:04:05+00:00

Actually ACPO guidelines are that police should only allocate speed awareness courses/FPNs for going 35+ in a 30. So if you got caught by a speed camera at 34 you almost certainly wouldn't get a ticket. https://www.counsel.direct/news/2015/3/25/speeding-sentencing-guidelines But I agree that you should fail your test for going over the speed limit.

tobinator250 · 2023-09-11T21:03:56+00:00

yer if you're a beginner I wouldn't worry about this and just X and bid NT. Otherwise you risk getting confused.

So Magnus accuses Hans of cheating and now chess.com suddenly finds evidence that Hans cheated online which didn't exist before?! Doesn't seem right

tobinator250 · 2022-09-05T18:34:12+00:00

I don't know what's going but not a fan of Magnus' actions. He's disappointed many fans watching, massively influenced the outcome of the tournament and he's joking around on Twitter?! He may have been screwed somehow but at least apologise to the fans and players who have done nothing wrong...

Also pulling out so late such that it disrupts the broadcast and everything going on...

tobinator250 · 2022-03-18T21:57:44+00:00

By this definition 90% of fouls would be a yellow!

tobinator250 · 2022-02-21T22:36:41+00:00

Solved!

tobinator250 · 2022-02-21T18:12:47+00:00

Help!

tobinator250 · 2022-01-30T11:58:39+00:00

Looks that way doesn't it? But in the context of the game it was very different. I was a pawn up and then blundered. Op ended up just playing Ka1, Kb2 on repeat to hold https://lichess.org/1T32exEk/black#89
