Go Tigers!
Go Phillies!

What’s it like rooting for the worst team in the MLB since 1899?

*waves*

Needed something out of my inbox here to answer a question I was asked and noticed no one answered a question I’ve had the answer to for years. I’ll take it not getting answered and people actively testing it to mean that the good guys won the war and LaF is dead haha.

Best thing I saw all day yesterday was you still kicking around, KoH. Way to kick cancer’s butt.

Troops: (PMStartingUnits*(0.985^TurnsLoggedOut)+(3*Land*TurnsLoggedOut))
Jets & Turrets: (PMStartingUnits*(0.985^TurnsLoggedOut)+(2.5*Land*TurnsLoggedOut))
Tanks: ((PMStartingUnits*(0.985^TurnsLoggedOut)+(1*Land*TurnsLoggedOut))

The factor of TurnsLoggedOut is always 1 if you are logged into your country, and I believe it hits a cap at the maximum turns (not counting stored) on the server. In other words, on a 120 turn server, if you logged out for 120 turns, you log into your market at “maximum” and it slowly diminishes as turns tick to a mean.

Conversely, if you are logged into your country and buy out your market, a turn tick will increase your PM but will be slower to reach the mean than if you were logged in. Logging out for 120 turns from zero market essentially gets you to about 92% of your “maximum” market from the mean, and the mean is about 51% of the maximum.

I’ve been retired a while and never really played express, but for sure on teams which was a 160 turn server you could increase your market with a logout further, to almost 2.5x of your mean. Theoretically, a 360 turn logout in express could increase your PM by over 5x over your mean if it’s not capped, but I never had any interest in testing it there.

…When I left, Cath started sounding so much like me I realized how foolish I’d been. Sorta wish coalie would quit texting me to say so but I digress.

Cut it out bud. I promise it’s not helpful.

Also this is my only post so don’t fight me, I’ll have nothing else to say. Just that you look as stupid as me and I hope it’s as non-fun for you as it was for me. Good luck bud, you’re a good player I respected once.

Fun fact.

Most of pang’s formulas for the game are not based in round() functions. They are based in trunc(). I believe it’s because he has a lot of junc in his trunc.

Lol gonz, if you want me to explain how swingers swing, I guess I will.

My most recent STI test was last Monday, and despite having over 40 sexual partners in my life, including multiple people at one time, I still don’t have HPV or Herps, let alone the other things. I’m pretty safe about it, and I’ve been her only sexual partner since the last time she was tested. You’re correct about the responsibility that lies there. It’s worth noting STI tests are free in most cities, and being safe is not something to be ashamed of. Kudos on that point.

We like each other’s friends a good amount, but obviously don’t involve ourselves too much in those peoples lives unless we become really tight friends, which can happen, and has happened to me with a previous partner that also swung.

For the second paragraph of questions, my “share of the action” very much suits my lifestyle. We probably wake up together roughly 4 days a week and much of the other 3 is spent alone, with occasional fun nights out with pals that generally end solo. But in the event they don’t, there’s a generally assumed STI test/condom rule that’s been discussed. She’s an 8am-4pm worker and I am a 4pm-midnight guy. My days off are her busiest work days. Put frankly, I value the days I sleep in my bed over the days I sleep in hers. It generally makes my next day more difficult when I stay with her and I tend to stay there because she has a dog. I avoid it typically unless I’m feeling lonely, sad or horny, or we’d planned a cute date or shooting pool together haha. She’s a shark.

Any further questions?

I had b games in tourney where I did every strat in multiple sets. I think it went like Indy start, casher mid and farmer oiler finish with a hybrid destock (mbr was only technical). I did them one at a time tho and never all at once. I did win B or C games with it but obviously got trashed as an A gamer because of the slow moving parts against land hungry vets.

Point is, you can actually make it work.

Lol gal. I’ve played that game since it was called Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars. I’m low key quite good at it, and sort of unfortunately it’s the only game I play now. You’ll see me on discord for that reason frequently lol. They have pretty solid standards for appropriate behavior in the communities I run with, and I enjoy some drunk rocket cars. Get on there some time and run em with me. Lol

Indeed man. Keep kicking so much ass and keep that mind open. You’ve always welcome in my life if you ever make it on my coast. Stay in touch.

Yeah, I’ll be honest. Even just having a strong pull out game has been a fairly solid contraceptive. In my position and with my lifestyle tho, it’s the right call. Sorry mom. Lol

Lol cath you’ve watched a lot of TV anyways. Maybe it’s changed a lot since you’ve been home. Was just representing my neighborhoods and no one would call that disrespect. That’s love bro. I wasn’t talking about Pete. It’s not 1985 and I live in a different city. I do think green looks good on a man tho.

Be humble bro, it looks better on you. You sitting here passing judgement when you don’t know fluff about me will never bring you closer to God. If my honesty leaving this game frustrates you, because we are very different, then let that be a space you can improve and become more accepting of other people. That’s your flaw, not mine.

Cath, you’re being problematic for the sake of being problematic. Don’t forget people love and care about you bro, and they can come from all walks of life. Because, as stated, just because people are different from you, doesn’t mean all people who are different from you are the same.

Pffft gal. I’m sure you’ve looked it up by now but if I said “where’s Galapagos” I’m like 10,000% sure you wouldn’t say “off the coast of Ecuador.” I’m fluffin certain of it.

And I think I’m past the dumping part of my life. We’re both liberals who don’t want children so after roe v wade was overturned she got a tubal ligation and I got a vasectomy. Obviously didn’t know each other at the time, but we both made the responsible decision when the Supreme Court got set back 200 years.

She dates other guys. I’ve been with multiple partners from shows and fluff since I met her. I don’t think we break up or break in even. We exist only with the reason to appreciate each other. I don’t think either of us wants to be married or have children during a global climate crisis. Just aim to have a great companion for the end times.

The 9ers are playing the chiefs and no one cares, and then Biden will face trump and I’ll probably kill myself. Year is trash.

3 tho….I did meet the girl of my dreams absolutely. I really haven’t even been smoking weed, and not because she frowns on it or something, we’ve smoked a few times, but I think she’s very inspirational to me having good habits and I’d like to stay motivated around her.

I used to like laying in bed, getting high as fluff, and farming bots like crazy while never leaving my bedroom. While I could wall 1200 hits in a good set and win teams or FFA, I think it was always an unhealthy lifestyle/experience.

It was never good for me, and I think the way I acted here is probably indicative of that. All my decisions are my own tho. I just hope she loves me back, but I’ll never be that level of unmotivated stoner again, and this is simply a positive lifestyle change in my path to finding happiness in a world that has always made me want to kill myself. I think I’m just finally ready to be healthy, fit and using my talents for good.

Edit: That’s not an apology btw. Sui can still go take his one usable arm and go fluff his own permanently flaccid fluff.

Nerd, I know where places are without even looking them up. Even Pony's green bean stash.

Trust me, Req cares about KC playing. He keeps trying to make me a fan and I hate the NFL.

I still have my doubts gal. But also no one except req cares about this SuperBowl. Most normal people hate both teams and you should specifically not care about this one haha.

Req. This is the sort of extremely subjective stuff I’ll miss about you. I think, to caveat your point, that idiom sounds a bit better when you say that the most important thing a man WITH CHILDREN can do is show them what a good man is, and to be a good father.

I have no doubt you’re both, because you assume such things are granted, rather than a choice. Having children is a choice, and when you have them, being a good man and a great role model is doubly important, but also a choice.

It’s especially not good for people with genetic disorders, such as myself, to pass those on. You have to make those choices anticipating poor outcomes and I don’t anticipate myself putting someone else what I’ve been through willingly. That said, I have no doubt you’re a great father, and it’s a pleasure to know you and even vent at times. You’re someone I’ll miss.
