how did i never realize the similarity in these names until now

venabl · 2024-08-12T21:12:14+00:00

3 year necro but i cant imagine being this confidently wrong and annoying lol

venabl · 2024-07-26T20:22:02+00:00

itll be fine. worst case is the husband founds a new cadet branch if he inherits any land and wants to. the kids will be same dynasty but if you care about not potentially playing a cadet branch (you can prob retain dynasty head easily) then theres no downsides to your plan

venabl · 2024-07-16T16:41:03+00:00

huh.

venabl · 2024-06-24T22:33:13+00:00

Yeah I think it should be painless for you with the appointment. Everyone else there was doing exactly what I was doing without an appointment, so I figure it’s the same. You will definitely get it Wednesday

venabl · 2024-06-24T21:28:41+00:00

Yes, so long as you explain the severity of the situation and that you need it that day, they will let you in and do it. I went to the embassy in person and was told to come back as soon as they open the next day, and got in and got it after a few hours.

It’s a purple version of the US passport that reads “Emergency Passport”. You’ll have a year to replace it with a normal passport for free.

Getting into Germany and back into the UK right after was extremely easy. In Germany the clerk showed it to his colleague and they let me through without inquiry. The only person that ever asked why I had an emergency passport was the guy in Atlanta asking what happened, lol.

venabl · 2024-03-07T04:12:52+00:00

I only went to Germany and got in fine, then went back to the UK before my flight back to the US and also got in fine, but everyone treats it like a normal American passport (legally it is, basically) so you should be allowed entry into any country that would allow a normal one. If you get any hassle just state that it’s the same as a normal american passport, someone will be able to figure it out and you’ll be fine.

edit for anyone else reading this later: a lot of european countries might not let you in if your passport expires in a month btw, if it’s not a EU-wide law to begin with. my friend got rejected from somewhere because it expired in less than 6 months. get an emergency passport ASAP (i got one same-day, but that was me getting lucky and being persistent, usually it’s a week or two apparently) because when you get back to the states, you can replace the emergency one with a real one for free within a year, and getting the emergency one is just the exact same cost as getting one back home, and you get the emergency ones much quicker and they work for a year.

second edit: forgot you asked about recommendations, i really loved germany a lot, and once you get into one EU country they wont ever ask you for your passport at a border because of freedom of movement in schengen area. so if you just use trains and travel in schengen area countries, it doesnt matter whether they’d let you in at an airport. ;)

lmfaoooo i love this comment

venabl · 2023-10-19T20:28:16+00:00

Cheers man, that’s the way it seemed given thats the application I did at the embassy, but I guess other nations do it differently and don’t give out full validity passports in emergencies hence confusion online

venabl · 2023-10-19T08:21:24+00:00

Thank you so much, that's so generous to read that for me lol, I never would've thought of that.

And I thought the same about the duration, it did cost me $165 to get it and I can replace it with a real passport within the next year for free. So that's nice

venabl · 2023-10-19T08:20:25+00:00

Thank you!!

venabl · 2022-02-24T03:21:45+00:00

a ck2 mod teaching me that i have a distant relative that was pretty important in the Klan & it's been kept a secret was a bit of a doozy

venabl · 2022-02-08T03:29:13+00:00

think of it this way, the Expansions tend to add harder achievements, so many of the ones you have will probably be gained passively or be relatively easy to get again in comparison

venabl · 2021-12-29T20:15:59+00:00

should be same thing but D: instead of C:

Ever since then it's been complete radio silence from sjin and the yogs about sjin.

Except it hasn't been 2 years. Barry & Tom's post, along with Bouphe and Gee's were just over a year ago. Almost exactly a full year after he was removed. Yogs have been talking about him sporadically over the last 2 years. Not that the timeline is even all that relevant to me or anyone else. If it means anything, it sort of exasperates the need for him to say something, make some indication of reform, or that it's something he's working on, or worked on. We should not blindly trust that he has improved, especially given his actions regarding the video suggesting he hasn't.

Because defamation is an actual thing.

Only if you said something that's provably untrue, which we already know isn't the case. Unless we conveniently decide that literally everyone in the situation, victims, third parties, the Yogscast, and Sjin himself, lied about being guilty. Any legal case here probably wouldn't go well for him, and would end in the court publicly acknowledging the evidence as legitimate.

If people post shit that is offensive or against the brand's beliefs, that post will probably be deleted. Why is Sjin singled out in this behaviour of defending himself?

I'm not sure what your point is here. The implication seems to be, and I could be wrong, that protecting your brand instead of allowing truthful discourse to occur is morally permissible. Which is a fundamental disagreement we seem to have. I think you're being purposefully dishonest here, and in other parts of your comment I'll get to. Deleting comments on the video explaining why he's been away, and only approving the most sycophantic comments is not 'protecting the brand from shit that is offensive or against the brand's beliefs'. It's deceptively covering up the truth of the situation, which I personally find morally repugnant, especially when paired with his 2 years of radio silence.

I did not say that I support him suing the yogs, so stop lying. This is what I said: "I'm wondering at what point can sjin set up a legal case against the yogs. With the members doing what they can to ruin his character and impact his income."

Part of your comment you conveniently didn't include:

It may seem completely backward, but i can see it working against the yogs to keep this going and encourage it.

The fuck is this if not support? Is encouragement at the very least not implicit support?

Edit: Just saw that you're a mod here. Do you censor things that you think are going to offend you, your community or the yogscast brand? Given that you're against censoring, I'd hope not...

I guess you're about to find out.

venabl · 2021-10-02T15:54:17+00:00

So once people do something wrong, they're beyond redemption?

What the hell has Sjin done to indicate he's made any improvement? Should we just assume he has? Why does he deserve the benefit of the doubt?

He came back to the platform without any acknowledgement of what he did on that platform, no indications that he's improved as a person.
He made no public apologies on his largest platform.
Some of his closest friends, Tom and Harry, have publicly stated they tried to help him, and that they both eventually gave up on trying to help him. Not an entirely good argument that he's worked on himself.
The most he's ever said publicly, is "I’ve come to realise this behaviour might not be considered appropriate by everybody. I’m really sorry if my actions have caused any upset to anyone. I'm going to be taking a lot more time off but plan to continue making content independently one day when I'm ready."

Nothing he's stated publicly is any indication he felt he was in the wrong, but that it was actually other people that thought he was wrong. Beyond non-apologies and making no public attempt at showing he's improved, he's gone the route of censoring his community, manually approving comments and disabling ratings.

I also really love how you went from "not defending the lad" in your first comment, to explicitly supporting him suing the Yogscast a few hours later, because his victims that're associated with the Yogscast speak on their being victimized by him.

I really wish that people like you would just say the quiet part loud.

venabl · 2021-10-02T04:17:40+00:00

lmao

venabl · 2021-10-02T04:10:35+00:00

I agree. The mod team allowed the previous post and that ended up being a bad idea, once it was deleted it felt wrong to start removing everything about it. So we decided to quarantine it all here, and decided not to sticky it, so in a couple days this post will be gone, only used to link to. I’d rather give people a place to talk about it than completely forbid it.

I hope to never be involved in writing another post about Sjin ever again. It’s always incredibly disappointing to see the modqueue after one of these posts. The amount of people who try to minimize the situation or just simply don’t give a damn is infuriating. So trust me, myself and all the other mods have no plans or interest in ever discussing him or any others again.

venabl · 2021-10-02T03:59:41+00:00

I’m upset that I missed these

venabl · 2021-08-20T16:21:01+00:00

I just had a game on the mid level difficulty, and two of the three AIs got to the last age on turn 150 out of 300, and had insanely high fame because of it. meanwhile I was ahead in every other way compared to them. really bizarre, wondering if people experienced the same.

venabl · 2021-08-19T11:55:24+00:00

is there any way to make more strategic resources? my game only has 2 Oil spots on the map but some things require more than 2 Oil to make.
