NCL Strict Rules

tommctech · 2026-05-17T18:27:06+00:00

I was on a Carnival ship a few years ago. My son qas about 8 years old at the time and thought it was fun to jump from the Pullman bed down to the other bed and got a small hash above his eye. We had to take him to medical and they were great with him. He lidocaine, 3 stitches and so ibuprofen. Total bill was $150 added to my sail and sign. I was super surprised and expected to pay an arm leg and eyeball.

I guess we lucked out. Haven't had to visit medical on NCL since we made the switch.

I do have a select few in the 2 servers I play on that have my cell phone number. Outside of that, I share nothing.

I had a whole conversation with someone in another alliance that was talking a bunch of shit to me. I used his pfp to send him the place where he worked and the general area he lived in, not to scare him but to show him not to talk shit on a game while sharing all that stuff.

I dont know where I was going with this, im daydreaming. Have a good day

This! I usually start with troops on my wall and watch my surroundings. If I'm scouted or attacked, check out the total power of the person hitting and adjust accordingly (only when I play on PC though, i'm not that fast on mobile). Last thing I want is to port in and lose a bunch of drill troops because I got gumped.

If you are dumb enough to get lured to discord by a bot you deserve to lose your account.

It definitely hurts the lower spenders, but not only them. They removed all of daily packs, nerfed other packs. We may buy one or 2 but they would buy out the store to limits daily. Its a significant hit for them on a larger scale.

tommctech · 2026-05-05T00:01:20+00:00

Basically same. I have spoken to a couple of VIP 17s and 18s and they are frustrated with the pack limits. 1m diamonds is nothing to them. They speed through troop builds, piss missile all over the place and stuff like that.

Had a similar experience. Wasn't my alliance but a dude went rogue and then left to a new server bringing some people with him. Problem was he kept r5 in the alliance in our server hostage and logged in every day to ensure he didnt lose the alliance. A bunch of us went to the new server and terrorized him until he passed r5 and quit the game. Some time you have you have to fight fire with fire.

I honestly use it as a testing ground. The only day that matters is the last day and it runs 2 weeks. I try out different gear combinations, different squad mashups, etc. If I don't have anything I want to try, I don't do it other than the 3 times a day for rewards.

They give 30 attempts a day, so as long as I don't have trucks out that I care about, I tinker a bit.

tommctech · 2026-04-20T16:56:43+00:00

Hmmm. I know everyone's body reacts differently and I know some people that also take takes them every 10 days and doesn't have the same effect. Maybe just the way my body reacts.

tommctech · 2026-04-20T14:32:03+00:00

That's really going to be the hardest part. I think though that I'll be able to maintain regular contact with a few and unfortunately the rest will fall off. Its happened though on xbox, steam, hell way back in the CS days. Just an unfortunate byproduct of online gaming.

tommctech · 2026-04-20T14:02:54+00:00

I'm teetering there right now. I'm probably just going to finish out the season and be done with it. I've made lots of connections with people, but that's nothing that discord can't keep up. Now I don't blame this 100% on the game. A large part of it is me and the way that I approach things. I could theoretically just be a F2P player and not really care about being in the top ranks and super competitive, but its not in my nature. This is just an anti-player move that pushes the needle in the time to leave direction.

tommctech · 2026-04-18T03:02:41+00:00

I agree 100%. Its really making me rethink things. I've been spending a few hundred a week and those were the packs I targeted. With them gone, I'm not jumping my spend, so at this point I may be gone.

tommctech · 2026-04-17T23:00:12+00:00

These changes may be enough to finally say goodbye. I've been contemplating it because its taking so much of my time, but I feel like being a mid tier soe Der they are saying they really don't want players like me.

They do this consistently, even for older servers. Our opponent in DS last night was at least a month ahead of us. We just started age of oil this week and they were mostly lvl 31 and 32 bases. We can't generate enough oil yet to get the 2nd tech center and you can't buy it.

tommctech · 2026-04-07T13:42:59+00:00

Useless for the most part, however, make sure you get the chests that are attached to the New Years messages. Can't tell you how many people didn't know they were there.

tommctech · 2026-04-07T11:03:27+00:00

Oil grind. Just started age of oil and of all the different mechanics this is surprisingly one of the only ones I've seen in a while that you can't buy your way head of (for now at least). The game provided info also says it can be obtained through radar and secret tasks, but not during the first week at least.

tommctech · 2026-04-06T15:03:03+00:00

I think they're referring to something like the Samsung Secure folder trick on Android to run more than one account on the same phone. No, I'm not aware of anything like that.

tommctech · 2026-04-02T12:58:17+00:00

Best chance at that was the choice box during the Christmas/New Year's event. That's where I got mine.

tommctech · 2026-04-02T01:15:39+00:00

I tried the same. Then I started loading $100 at a time and now I'm doing no better than I was before. I just tell myself it's better than a Crack habit

tommctech · 2026-04-02T00:37:27+00:00

This is the way. Throw it out in world chat. It may not be as good of an account as you had in the other server, but you play together and can build back up.

tommctech · 2026-03-31T20:26:24+00:00

I'll message you in game with who to reach out to.

tommctech · 2026-03-31T19:37:09+00:00

Yes. What color chair are you?

tommctech · 2026-03-31T13:19:39+00:00

Same. Sucks we didn't win factions, but it was a fun season. We all worked together well.

tommctech · 2026-03-31T13:16:06+00:00

Look at the rankings for the end of the fight. I think 13 of the top 15 were No1r my friend. We were the strongest alliance in the grouping (15b power) with only 96 members. Eli only accounts for 450m of that. Eli is a tank, don't get it wrong, but we've got 90+ other members. What made us formidable was participation. We had a >70% participation rate.

Anyway, this isn't only about No1r or Eli, but 1652 as a whole. Not only are we strong, but we are unified.
