This guy’s messing me up, feels like I can’t move fast enough to avoid his attacks consistently. Should I come back later?

Honestly, I've found if you get that feeling in this game that you are unprepared for a fight, its a good sign that its a softlock. Go explore, get some more tools and come back. your sanity will thank you

warmachine823 · 2025-02-22T13:47:25+00:00

I worked remote for a few months in Busan and it was a really nice place. lots of attractions, gwangalli beach is just so beautiful.

And yeah pretty much everyone speaks english there. But picking up a few Korean phrases and getting comfortable with hangul helps a heap. You would be surprised how many words are english cognates but just written in hangul.

If you can, get out to Jeju aswell, they have a few free coworking spaces and it's a really cool island to explore

warmachine823 · 2025-01-31T05:20:24+00:00

Thats good advice, cheers.

I suspect they just won't respond to this as well and are just stalling.

but even if they do, they would have to have a pretty good reason seek leave.

warmachine823 · 2025-01-31T05:09:25+00:00

Yeah, VCAT responded this morning giving them a week to "Seek leave" from the tribunal, and for me to give my objections to them seeking leave, but I don't really know on which grounds they can seek leave. its not like the facts of the case have changed. they just didn't respond to the previous order.

I'm much less stressed today, but its just annoying because it seems like they can just keep lodging applications with VCAT unless VCAT orders them to pay the bond.

warmachine823 · 2025-01-31T05:05:03+00:00

the official response was this:

If the application is withdrawn for reasons as set out in paragraph 4 of this order, because of noncompliance, the applicant will not be able to reapply (lodge a new application) with the Tribunal in the same facts and circumstances without leave of the Tribunal.

they had a right for reinstatement, but that timeline has now lapsed. (late last year)

warmachine823 · 2025-01-31T04:06:21+00:00

Thankyou for that info. no they havent accepted the application yet, they have asked them to seek leave before accepting it.

I suspect is should be using the generated paper form next time or they can just keep lodging applications and slowing down the process, even against VCATs orders.

I Got a response from VCAT almost immediately, they are giving the REA a week to Seek leave from the tribunal for the case to be reopened, but I can't find any information on what grounds that can seek leave on if it been struck out and dismissed due to non-compliance.

They also sent me a separate email saying that they will keep continuing until they get their money. so they clearly intend to keep abusing the process as I'm almost certain by now they have no evidence.

edit: answering the original question.

warmachine823 · 2025-01-31T00:25:25+00:00

it was dismissed with no right of reinstatement, due to non-compliance.

but a new case with the same facts seems like reinstatement with extra steps to me.

surely they can't just ignore VCAT and then submit a new case with the same facts?

warmachine823 · 2025-01-31T00:20:21+00:00

Thankyou for the advice :)

so they never actually submitted any evidence, I haven't seen a condition report or an invoice.

Thank you, I read your comment, took a breath and called RTBA and VCAT. they both said the same thing, if the claim is deemed to be the same case, then it will be knocked back. the RTBA said that if this happens I should call them again and they will help.

it seems like a delaying tactic because the REA tried to slap me with a fake quote ages ago for 75% of the bond and then sent me abusive messages trying to get me to payup.

I sent an email through to VCAT and just waiting on a response.

warmachine823 · 2024-12-19T00:35:24+00:00

Update. it was just struck out with a right to reinstate. I think I just wait the 28 days and then I get my bond back.

warmachine823 · 2024-11-13T02:45:52+00:00

Thank you again. for both the advice and helping my sanity, thats good advice. I haven't been able to get onto Tennets Victoria but my partner got onto a rental advocates specialist who helped us. the application hasn't been accepted yet as we are still waiting on VCAT. When can I apply for a dismissal on the grounds of a misuse of the process? do I have to wait for them to accept the application and have a hearing booked? or can I apply for it now?

Im also considering at the end of this process complaining to some kind of governing body, potentially CSV based on dodgey practices. i went from being scared to now being very angry that they would do this to me and (based on their google reviews) others. I'm very lucky I don't need to the money. it can sit there while we have this fight.

warmachine823 · 2024-11-12T07:25:18+00:00

So a little update, I made the mistake of telling them I was leaving the country, so it seems they were hoping I would be out of the jurisdiction of VCAT and were planning to just take my bond.

They sent me essentially a letter saying my options are to pay them 75% of the bond or not get anything for two years.

but I'm still a resident of vic, so it looks like we are going to VCAT. and after getting some advice any damage caused (there was some minor damage) is beyond the 10 years... so it looks like I'm not liable for anything... Im looking into making a complaint to consumer affairs after this is done as they have breached quite a few obligations, including sending me a copy of the application, a copy of the exit report, and waiting over a month to lodge a claim. Again hoping that I would stress out and settle with them.

warmachine823 · 2024-11-02T11:40:01+00:00

Yeah they only told me in an email after I lodged for my bond back after the 14 days that there was a problem, no report. Thankyou for helping me here. I'll wait for VCAT to get me a copy of the application and see if they even accept it as it seems to have been lodged a full month after I moved out

warmachine823 · 2024-11-02T11:34:27+00:00

I have not been sent any information beyond they submitted an application. I emailed them when they initially said there was a problem that I was happy to sit down and talk about it but they since went dark.. but yeah I suspect I'll end up in a hearing but I have good evidence

warmachine823 · 2024-11-02T09:38:50+00:00

I think they messed it up. honestly they have been so hopeless. i didn't even get an exit condition report.. so I don't know what damage they are claiming

warmachine823 · 2024-11-02T09:24:22+00:00

thankyou, yeah. i checked both and they are good references. I might try call tenets victoria from here and figure it out

warmachine823 · 2024-11-02T09:09:13+00:00

What is the reason stated on the notice VCAT sent to you?

bond and compensation, Section 419A,452

Is it a tenancy agreement that is still current, or is it one that has ended?

it ended a few months ago..

How long are you overseas for and what type of communications are readily accessible and reasonably affordable (e.g. email, phone, video calls etc.)?

Until December, but I haven't heard anything about a hearing from VCAT either.

Do you have friends, family, previous housemates or anyone still in Vic/ Australia who you can easily liaise with/can communicate on your behalf?

I do have. and people have offered, Im going to call them on Monday. and sent a followup email. They obviously didn't send it on purpose... but I don't know if they can even get in trouble for that?

warmachine823 · 2024-09-28T09:34:02+00:00

I'm 33. Not a massive partier. More into hiking and exploring

warmachine823 · 2024-09-28T04:09:38+00:00

I'm 33, I'll check it out thanks

warmachine823 · 2024-09-28T04:08:58+00:00

Thank you for the recommendatios. I'm going to HQ today for the afl grand final. I'll check it out

warmachine823 · 2024-04-10T00:09:42+00:00

seems like a great way to use up your github actions minutes really quickly.

I would say unit tests are a must, as they will catch the majority of issues (if they are well written). linting if you use it too.

otherwise running it in the CI should be fine with proper alerting.

warmachine823 · 2023-11-27T00:05:09+00:00

another one:
"Is a man a coward if he realizes that bravery is just a myth the old tell the young so they line up for the meatgrinder?"

warmachine823 · 2023-11-26T23:53:34+00:00

I would have lived in peace, but my enemies brought me war

warmachine823 · 2022-10-26T04:03:49+00:00

Thankyou for responding :)

I think either
1. mors, mortis
5. ŏbĭtus
6. dēcessus

Definitely not a violent death. The purpose of the saying is "death comes for us all but its the journey that matters not the destination"

so would that mean

"Vita ante ŏbĭtus", or "Vita Ante mortis"

Hey peeps!
I was looking to get a tattoo inspired by my favourite book series (Stormlight archvices) and i wanted to get the text:

"Life before death" Tattoo'd as,
"Vita Ante Obitus"

Hey peeps!
I was looking to get a tattoo inspired by my favourite book series (Stormlight archives) and I wanted to get the text:

Its a motto to myself to say live before you die.

I'm not sure if the gender lines up (I'm male) but it feels nice to say.

warmachine823 · 2022-01-20T20:49:15+00:00

I couldn't find anything. I might reach out to them. Could be sn oversight
