Low mcat scorer post/testimony
2023.06.01 04:55 crobinson2279 Low mcat scorer post/testimony
This Reddit post is made to show low MCAT applicants that it is possible. I do not recommend having a low GPA or MCAT. Still, sometimes that is the reality of the situation. Hence, I want to share my story and experience to hopefully give hope to others.
I typed out my resume below and removed my personal info for anonymity. So usually, when I read these posts on the thread, low mcats are described as 505ish. That is true, but as you can see, I am indeed a low mcat score who received 4 acceptances (2 md WlA and 2 A's from DO).
Things I wish I knew: 1) A low GPA and MCAT are pains in the butt and will make this process harder. Before applying, I went through the entire database of medical schools to see which schools would let my application through. I emailed tons of admissions offices and explained my situation. Most were helpful, saying my application would or would not be screened out. 2) If your scores are low, you need something allowing committee members to go to bat for you. I was a very research-heavy candidate and relied on that and my student job/volunteer work to craft my personal statement and discuss it in interviews. ( I was grilled in one interview that I looked like a Ph.D. candidate and not a medical school applicant, and this was a valid critique) 3) This process is long, and everyone is different. I had friends who received no interviews and others with 3+ acceptances and scholarships. You need a support system to keep you from going crazy. 4)Apply early. ADCOMs have a difficult job and will look for any reason to screen applicants out, and I didn't have the luxury of getting another strike by being late to apply. 5) The WL is not a death sentence. Schools often take the high scorers first to inflate their MCAT and GPA to soften the blow for individuals with lower scorers that they "are taking a chance on" 6) Avoid SDN and Reddit at all costs. If you have a question, ask it, receive an answer, and leave immediately. These websites are a blessing and a curse, full of information, but the people here are hardcore, blunt, and neurotic. 7) You have to plan everything. There is little room for error, and turning in primaries and secondaries is critical (don't rush but move with some urgency). Prewrite essays, and don't try to reinvent the wheel. If you aren't passionate about this, leave immediately not worth your time or money. 8)Craft your list carefully. I didn't qualify for FAP, but I am not a trust fund baby by any standards. I was very selective in the schools I applied to and selected them because I liked their missions, and I knew they would actually look at my application. No point in wasting money that I could spend elsewhere. 9) Your essays need to get you in the door. While your interviews need to show them something. Mentors from other programs read my essays and helped with mock interviews. I had the belief that I needed an opportunity to meet the members and that I could show them I was a good candidate for their school. The people reading your apps and interviewing aren't idiots; they will see your BS. Take some time to think about why you are doing this. 10) The deck may be stacked against you, but not everyone matriculating has a 3.8 and 510+. Some people have low stats, and others got off the WL. It only takes one, I promise.

2023.06.01 04:07 hotsmtg How many cards can I possibly draw? (Blink deck)
So, I'm goldfishing a new blink deck and came to the below board state.
Cards on the battlefield: [[Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines]] [[Guardian of Ghirapur]] [[Coiling Oracle]] [[Guardian Project]]
...and casting [[Ghostly Flicker]].
Question: What is the best play in order to draw as many cards as possible?

2023.06.01 04:02 Duke_Newcombe Are these the best of the best? CRAFTSMAN best-selling tools and YOU.
Craftsman tools have won the hearts of craftsmen/women (and "ones that play one on the weekend") across the country (and beyond), becoming synonymous with exceptional quality and reliable performance, but being accessible to the DIYer and homeowner.
Let's delve into some cherished Craftsman tools that have become favorites
Craftsman 20V Cordless Drill (Model: CMCD700C1 and successors): The Craftsman 20V Cordless Drill is a true workhorse, earning accolades from professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Not the most powerful, or the fastest, but it's a workhorse, just the same. This versatile tool effortlessly handles a variety of tasks, making it a go-to option for many craftsmen. With its solid performance, comfortable grip, and long-lasting battery, this drill is a reliable companion for any project, from building furniture to tackling home repairs.
Craftsman 450-Piece Mechanic's Tool Set (Model: CMMT99448): Craftsmen from all walks of life appreciate the versatility and completeness of the Craftsman 450-Piece Mechanic's Tool Set. This comprehensive collection of sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers provides a solution for virtually any mechanical challenge. Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or an ambitious DIYer, this set is sure to be a valuable addition to your toolkit (because you never know when you'll need that perfect tool to save the day--buy some extra 10mm's).
Craftsman 10-Inch Table Saw (Model: CMXETAX69434502): Woodworking enthusiasts and hobbyists alike swear by the Craftsman 10-Inch Table Saw. Its precision and dependability make it a top choice for craftsmen of all skill levels (because who doesn't appreciate clean and precise cuts?). With adjustable features and a powerful motor, this table saw empowers you to tackle a wide range of woodworking projects with confidence and finesse. Whether you're crafting custom furniture or engaging in intricate woodwork, or trying to build that deck, this tool is a game-changer. Very accessible to most folks as well.
Craftsman Digital Laser Distance Measurer (Model: CMHT77623): Once though of as an extravagance for the "true professional", the Craftsman Digital Laser Distance Measurer has become an invaluable asset for craftsmen of all stripes (yeah, this means YOU). This compact device uses laser technology to deliver quick and accurate measurements, ALMOST eliminating the need for traditional measuring tools (goodbye, tape measure?). Whether you're renovating your home or planning out a new project, this tool saves time and ensures accuracy, while making it a little less cumbersome to "measure twice" (and cut once, hopefully).
But maybe I've gotten it wrong. Maybe I missed your favorite (impact wrench, represent!) Let's hear from you! Which Craftsman tool holds a special place in your heart as your own kind of craftsman? Is there a specific tool that has transformed your projects or made a significant impact on your craftsmanship? One that mom/dad/grandparent used, or put food on the table with? Share your thoughts and experiences below, and let's celebrate the tools that have become our favorites.

2023.06.01 03:33 kingsol215 any idea what these are?
 | looking for some insight about the pipes in the below photos. bought a house with a pool that needs a complete reno (plaster, tile, all equipment) and we are extending the pool deck a little. In the area where we are extending the deck there are these 2 pipes sticking up. no one seems to know what they are, best guess is plumbing for a water feature that was never built. anyone here familiar with this/know what they are? Thanks in advance submitted by kingsol215 to pools [link] [comments] |
2023.06.01 02:54 No_Catch_1490 A full list of all cards that imo should be reworked before Gwentfinity
Warning: this is a very long post. I was bored so I decided to look at every Gwent card and eventually came to realize there are a LOT of cards in the game that I haven't seen in years or ever. I thought might as well do a writeup and see what we could do with them. Thanks if you do read it and appreciate any feedback.
Note: I focused mostly on cards that aren't just weak numbers wise, but also serve no purpose in any archetype or don't fit the lore with their ability. Cards that are just powercrept were only briefly touched on. I tried to suggest new ability and archtype ideas based on adding diversity of playstyles and lore friendly mechanics, however, I did not rigorously think about balance. These are just meant to be rough ideas (I didn't include poweprovs intentionally for most suggestions) so take them with a grain of salt.
Anyway, let's begin.

Section 1: Need reworks because they are weak or fit in nowhere
The devs have done a great job bringing forgotten cards/archetypes into viability over the past few patches. I did some digging and found a bunch more cards that deserve to be saved as well, and also came up with some rough concepts/suggestions of where they could fit in with a rework :)Note: I focused mostly on cards that aren't just weak numbers wise, but also serve no purpose in any archetype or don't fit the lore with their ability. Cards that are just powercrept were only briefly touched on. I tried to suggest new ability and archtype ideas based on adding diversity of playstyles and lore friendly mechanics, however, I did not rigorously think about balance. These are just meant to be rough ideas (I didn't include poweprovs intentionally for most suggestions) so take them with a grain of salt.
Anyway, let's begin.
Neutrals:
- Ale of the Ancestors: might be the worst card in the game, maxes out at 15 boost for 12 provs in a 10 card round. Suggestion: honestly, no idea, something with Resilience? Hand or deck buff (your units are drinking the ale before battle)? Something that interacts with the number of units in discard (since "Ancestors")?
- Uma's Curse: overcosted RNG-based card. Have seen it played once or twice but mostly as a meme. Suggestion: crazy RNG should never be viable- maybe an effect that transforms an enemy into a useless unit temporarily (to fit with the lore). Such as, "Transform a unit into Uma (1 power no abilities). After 3 turns or when you Pass, transform it back to its original form and power."
- Dragon's Dream: a slightly better but overcosted Crushing Trap, which also telegraphs the effect to the enemy, making it pretty useless. Suggestion: it's a bomb that gets ignited by fire or other bombs, and we recently got bomb reworks- possibly using the Infuse status on enemies or acting as a support artifact to augment your other bombs or damaging effects? This could be a slippery slope towards strong unitless strategies, but I think it's a shame for this card to be so worthless when it has nice art and even a unique row effect.
- Ornate Censer: a rework that missed the mark (though the original effect was abhorrent so I don't mind as much). Rarely plays for numbers close to its provisions and requires crazy setup to do so. Suggestion: honestly increasing the floor by adding some guaranteed damage/boost might be enough to make it worth picking in decks that do a lot with orders in one turn, like Siege or SY bounty.
- Avallac'h (normal, not Sage): honestly forgot this card even existed. Very lame and useless especially considering the character's lore powers. Suggestion: maybe a spell tutor or support, to work with Alzur in a new spell package or archetype?
- Enraged Ifrit and Colossal Ifrit: 10 for 10, even with 5 being damage, is awful in this day and age, and Colossal Ifrit is a bit better but far too slow and vulnerable to be usable. Suggestion: not too sure about this one, but Ifrits are constructed by mages, so maybe these cards could somehow synergize with Summoning Circle or Spells. Unlike the Insanity archetype I theorycrafted later on, I don't have much of an idea how this could look, so I'm leaving this in as a rough idea.
- Primordial D'ao and Frenzied D'ao: two very powercrept cards that could theoretically work as techs but are far too weak to be viable. Suggestion: yeah I'm at a loss for this, idek what a D'ao is lore wise- would they work with mages? Monsters?
- Eskel: Pathfinder: I don't think I need to explain why a 9 provision 6 power 1pt/turn engine that's also rowlocked is not good. Suggestion: he could fit in nicely with the new witcher reworks as a tutor or protector of other witchers via boost/armor for example.
- Gregoire de Gorgon: considering this guy is the final boss of the Toussaint tourney in TW3, this card is so disappointing and weak, a 5 for 9 that can become a 10 for 9 with setup of a 1power enemy? Sadge. Suggestion: move him to NG and give him a new home with the other NG Knights, with an ability themed around being the big boy Champion. Maybe something like "Deploy: set self to the power of the highest power Knight on the battlefield, plus one" (obviously with a high provision cost).
- Merigold's Hailstorm, Manticore Venom, Wolfsbane, and Bekker's Rockslide: all of these are just disappointing understats (though Wolfsbane has some meme potential) that don't really fit in anywhere. Suggestion: I wouldn't buff Hailstorm and Rockslide to be as good as faction cards, but they could become usable with a Spells archetype becoming a thing (with Alzur and some of the other cards I've mentioned above). Wolfsbane could be moved to SK and reworked to become Alchemy support. Manticore Venom could be moved to MO and reworked to become Organics support.
- Olgierd Von Everec (normal, not Immortal): the worse, never-used, and frankly unnecessary Olgierd, ironically despite being the OG version. Suggestion: something to synergize with Iris or Vlod or Gaunter even? Maybe a unit with very high armor but low power (you know since he has a Heart of Stone haha).
- Marlene de Trastamara, and Iris Von Everec (normal, not Shade): these cards are related to Gaunter (and Iris to Olgierd obviously) from a lore standpoint but have nothing to do with the others ability-wise. Suggestion: I'm not smart enough to come up with cool effects, but something to do with Tranformations/ArmoDoomed would be awesome.
- Cyprian Wiley and Carlo Varese: I know these cards are ancient powercrept remnants of when SY didn't exist, but at this point there's no reason for them to exist. Suggestion: move them to SY and rework them to help their respective gangs, maybe breathing some life into the dying Devo SY archetypes, or rework them into more general use cards with modern power that could find a home elsewhere (like Francis Bedlam).
- Nivellen: a cool character from the books that is pretty pointless and un-thematic in Gwent. Suggestion: I would really like some kind of transformation themed ability related to his curse and it being lifted, but I'm not sure of the specifics.
- Note on other powercrept Neutral bronzes: I don't think every card needs to be viable or strong, I think it's fine for many of the Neutral bronzes to remain slightly weaker than faction cards and only be useful in very niche situations. However, there are a few that I think could be changed to fit in very nicely in existing archetypes without becoming oppressive.
- Inspirational Ballad is a basically pointless card currently, but considering Dandelion's card and ability, I think this card could be reworked to boost units in your deck- thus working with Djikstra/Erland/etc. And of course the legendary Wolf Pack which has become a meme with how bad it is, should in my opinion find a home in MO Beasts (more of that down the line).
Nilfgaard:
- Peter Saar Gwynleve: neat W3 reference which is sadly just a worse Spores. Suggestion: Soldier support, perhaps something to do with extorting and punishing the enemy via damage/status (to fit with the lore).
- Fringilla Vigo: the only NG card in the entire game with Mage/Construct synergy and a weak effect to boot. Suggestion: unless new cards or sweeping reworks were to happen for the Mages/Constructs archetype, I can't really think of anything other than a generic stat buff
- Ceallach Dyffryn: a card that doesn't really serve a purpose outside of obscure memes. Suggestion: given the little we know about the character (he tries to bargain with Emhyr for his son's life), maybe he could have an effect that protects an allied unit? Like a more specialized Defender?
- Standard Bearer: a card that makes no sense in Knights because boosting multiple enemies is not optimal, and no sense in any other deck because it is very weak in 99% of scenarios. Suggestion: might work better in Soldiers, supporting the swarming aspects with an AOE boost to allies.
- Alchemist, Vicovaro Novice, Deithwen Arbalest, Menagerie Keeper, Angry Mob: a series of powercrept Bronzes that don't provide anything useful to any archetype. Suggestion: Alchemist and Vicovaro Novice fit thematically with the new bottom-of-deck-clog archetype, Deithwen Arbalest with Soldiers. The last two, not really sure.
Monsters:
- Morvudd: an overcosted and boring finisher for an archetype that doesn't swarm. In fact, an overcosted finisher for an archetype that doesn't really exist (unless you count Rat based memes). Suggestion: this guy could be the centerpiece of a new beast archetype, and I think using the new Predator mechanic in some way could be the play considering these are the most obvious Predators in the game. The archetype could be based around harming enemies and even your own units in order to get units big. Morvudd himself could be a payoff engine, something like "Whenever an allied Beast uses a Predator ability, do X."
- Tatterwing: a rather strange card (why doesn't it just say Consume?) that is utterly useless. Suggestion: could fit nicely into the hypothetical beasts package, perhaps with a high base power and Predator order to damage both itself and enemies?
- Alpha Werewolf and Werewolf: I have seen these cards played in unitless MO memes, but undeniably their design is boring. Suggestion: they could keep the immunity theme and still tie in to Beasts with something like a feacurse effect, debuffing enemy units to allow Predators to get them.
- Wyvern, Cockatrice, Forktail, Fiend: a collection of powercrept cards that vaguely fit into Thrive, Deathwish etc but are too weak to be played + thematically disappointing. Suggestion: make these creatures fierce with some number buffs and utilizing the Predator mechanic.
- Jotunn and Ice Troll: these guys are the only cards to utilize the controlling less units than opponent mechanic and far too weak to see play. Suggestion: Ogroids as a whole don't really exist and like 3-4 cards isn't enough to come up with a new archetype. Maybe with some new cards something could be done here, but for now I'm at a bit of a loss other than generic numbers buffs.
Northern Realms:
- Falibor: literally worse than Brokvar Warrior, a 4 provision Bronze. Lmfao. Suggestion: given the lore connection with Tridam infantry, he could serve as a finisheheavy hitter for the currently basically nonexistent Inspire/Boost archetype. Something like "whenever an allied unit is boosted, damage a random enemy unit by 1"
- Keira Metz and Sile de Tansarvillle: very boring and weak effects which mean these cards never see play. Suggestion: Mages support? Maybe giving the students some protection or providing damage payoff? Could also have something to do with card manipulation given the Lodge's plotting.
- Nenneke: the current effect is very weak and pointless. Suggestion: given that Nenneke is a gifted healer and tied to the Temple of Melitele, it would make sense for her to have an effect that supports the deck bost/shuffle archetype.
- Detmold: yet another remnant of the old and boring "boost all X by 1" designs, yet again in an archetype that doesn't really swarm and thus has no need for it. Suggestion: given his plotting and sadistic nature, he could have some damage/control based ability that would help mages. In fact, it probably makes lore sense for him to have Margarita's lock ability and her to get something else.
- Ban Ard Tutor, Cintrian Enchantress: two powercrept and pointless mages. Suggestion: both could fit in nicely into the existing mages archetype, a basic but potentially useful idea would be changing their Deploy abilities to Orders, allowing you to protect a mage you're setting up next turn.
- Vincent Meis: a cool character from W1 that has a pointless and weak ability. Suggestion: something to do with his werewolf form butchering criminals- maybe using an Order to switch between a Boosting and Damaging effect (like Botchling)?
- Smoke Them Out, Aedirnian Mauler, Kaedweni Knight, Kaedweni Sergeant, Radovid's Royal Guards, Kerack Cutthroat, Redanian Elite, Field Medic: all extremely weak, could either use small number tweaks or reworks that slot them into existing archetypes such as the hypothetical Inspire/Boost one.
Scoia'tael:
- Filavandrel Aen Fidhail: overcosted and not worth it in neither handbuff nor special based decks. Suggestion: considering Filavandrel's role in the books, it would make more sense for him to be an alternative heavy hitter for Elves than handbuff/spell support.
- Milaen: a very powercrept card that doesn't really fit in anywhere. Suggestion: she was a poachetracker, so maybe a tutodeck manipulation aid for elves, maybe with Devotion payoff, to lure them away from the same old netdeck.
- Ele'yas: another powercrept card that is pointless to include compared to others. Suggestion: stick to the theme of destroying an ally, but give him a better payoff
- Braenn: very disappointing card considering her lore and too weak to justify using. Suggestion: I would love an ability that ties to her inner struggle and transition from human to dryad- like a powerful effect once you play a certain amount of Dryads or trigger Symbiosis a certain number of times.
- All trap/artifact based cards: adding this as a note. While many of these cards are powercrept, I don't think a no-unit archetype should be made strong/viable, nor do I think they should be completely reworked to something else as some really like the playstyle. Hence I think maybe it would be fine to just leave them weak.
Skellige:
- Wild Boar of the Sea: a very overcosted card that only plays for decent value against wide decks, and even then unreliably so. Suggestion: I think this card could help support non-GN pirates by synergizing with the scenario and other pirates, while also working with the lore of Crach's ship being feared. For example, something like "Order: Infuse an enemy unit with "This unit cannot be boosted," then damage it by 1. Gain a charge whenever you play a Gold pirate.
- Madman Lugos: a funny character with a pretty disappointing card that only gets value in very niche situations. Suggestion: I think he should have an ability representing his fiery temper and conflict with Geralt, while also synergizing with high base power warriors. Perhaps something like "Deploy: choose an allied unit and an enemy unit to Clash. Order: Clash with an enemy."
- Ulfhedinn: this card has sick art and lore but is unfortunately very unreliable. Suggestion: I recall seeing some rework concepts in the past, my personal take would be to support the Beasts/Bloodthirst archetype and give alternatives to the lame and boring Renfri package with something like "Damage an enemy Unit by 1 for each allied Beast. Deathblow: boost self by 1 for each damaged enemy."
- Donar An Hindar: another powercrept and disappointing card. Suggestion: nothing I can think of is better and more flavorful than what u/Soulless32 came up with here. Good shit man.
- Arnvald: a neat character in the lore but has kind of a boring and weak ability. Suggestion: self-damage/alchemy support? Maybe something like "Order: damage an allied unit by 4, then spawn and play Maerdrome" which also reflects his traitorous nature
- Yoana: why would a blacksmith heal? Makes no sense + is useless. Suggestion: buff her and change the Order to "Boost an allied unit by 1 and give it 1 armor" or something and you have pirates/warriors support to keep engines alive.
- Udalryk An Brokvar: extremely disappointing card considering it's a neat character and great art. Suggestion: support self-damage and Hym, and make him lore friendly, with high base power and an ability like "end of turn: damage self by 1. Berserk 1: heal self." (representing the ordeal he suffers to eventually escape the Hym's influence).
- Drummond Villager, An Craite Marauder, Svalblod Ravager, Svalblod Butcher, Dimun Pirate Captain: all these cards are just powercrept and need minor buffs or reworks to be viable. Suggestion: some numbers buffs would be fine for the warriors and pirates that already fit with their archetype (but are just too weak), but I think Svalblod Ravager and Butcher could become self-damage payoff via something like damaging enemies based on the damaged state and cult shenanigans of your side of the board.
Syndicate:
- The Sausage Maker: technically can gain double resilience, but this card is an overcosted removal magnet. Suggestion: why not lean on his profession as body disposal and give him a crimes supporting ability like "Whenever an enemy unit is destroyed by a Crime, gain 3 coins"
- Hvitr and Aelydia: never seen this card used, it's a remnant of when each faction had a Pavko Gale clone with a different condition (Pavko is my favorite), but this one is particularly bad as it forces you to hang onto coins or constantly gain them (the fact that this is very inefficient is more an issue with Hoard as an archetype but whatever). Suggestion: this card could help make Hoard viable with a new ability that either gives them some consistency or removal reach, but I'm not sure of the exact mechanics
- Dire Mutated Hound, Greater Brothers: two interesting cards that are powercrept and belong to a nonexistent SY Armor archetype. Suggestion: rework them to help the rest of the Salamandra who are mostly Poison/pointslam based. PLEASE no more cards to cram into Nekker decks though!
- Arena Endrega, Bloody Good Friends: at this point the keys spelling "powercrept" on my keyboard are starting to look a bit worn out lmao. Suggestion: okay here's a crazy idea- Insanity archetype (more below)
- Buff these boys a bit, and bring in Cyprian Wiley who I've previously mentioned from neutrals, Nathaniel Pastodi (most insane guy I can think of), and some powercrept bronze crimes/units like Arena Ghoul, Assault, Dip in the Pontar, etc.
- The key pieces would be Cyprian Wiley who could do something like "Insanity. Fee 5: Banish an enemy unit with 4 power or less, then boost self by 1" representing his depraved tendencies, Nathaniel could indoctrinate your units into depravity with an ability like "Deploy: Infuse all your units in hand, deck, and on the battlefield that have a Fee with Insanity. If any already had Insanity, boost them by 1 instead."
- We might need a new card or two to act as simple support, such as "Cutups Fanatic" with high base power and an ability like "End of turn: damage self by 1. Whenever you trigger a fee ability with Insanity, boost self by its cost."
- A great way to integrate Oxenfurt Naturalist, another useless card, would be to tweak it slightly into something like "Coerced Physician" with a fee to Heal units, which would work well with Insanity
Section 2: Need reworks because they are problematic
This might be contentious, but I believe there are also a few cards that are either binary, poorly designed, or just straight up frustrating. Most of these are extremely hated by the community, and cannot be fixed with mere provision/power adjustments, hence I believe they should be reworked. There are a lot less here so I didn't split them by faction.- Golden Nekker: probably the most polarizing card ever added. The devs keep nerfing around it instead of the card itself for some reason, when it's obvious the ability to play THREE CARDS IN ONE TURN is the issue. Suggestion: Really, I think just changing it to 10-12p and rewording the card to still work would help, as then Gwentfinity can make further changes without making it always brick. Currently, GN can just cram a ton of strong cards in their decks. Alternatively, make it only play BRONZES- three bronzes in a turn is still really good and would prevent the ludicrous level of pointswings that are currently possible.
- Imperial PractitioneVilgefortz: Renegade: a meme combo that occasionally pops up, ruining games and baffling less experienced players. Unhealthy and frankly ridiculous. Suggestion: either card is fine on its own, the interaction between them allows for the idiotic duplication play. I would propose changing Vilgefortz to support NG mages/spying/something archetype. A character of his importance deserves better than being relegated to an obnoxious meme.
- Arachas Queen: I think this card's usage is 1% Insectoids as intended, 99% some degeneracy that aims to flood the board with Madocs/Cats/Kelly/whatever. Suggestion: make her support insectoids better somehow, PLEASE no Gold duplication.
- Eternal Eclipse/Affan Hillergrand: what do you get when you cross a powerful scenario that should be heatwaved on sight to prevent Chapter 1, with a presumably unforseen interaction allowing for immediate triggering of Chapter 1? Something unfun and binary. Suggestion: change Affan back to Summon or rework him as different Soldier support, or maybe change EE Chapter 1 from "if you have a couple cultists in a long round gain 80000000 points lul" to something more manageable to play against.
- Alternatively, a shoutout to u/Heigengraw who devised a rework idea here for the entire cultists archetype, which seems cool and much less binary than the current iteration
- Reaver Hunters: I hate reavers and judging by the amount of people who instantly forfeit upon seeing Mobilization, so does everyone else. Please just end our misery and rework this card, I'm begging you devs.

Maybe my brain is warped because I binged Below Deck Med first, but when watching any other version I am irrationally mad when the deck team DO NOT immediately put all the water toys out every morning.
Sometimes half way through the season you’ll see a toy they never once mentioned or put out before.

2023.06.01 02:39 AslandusTheLaster Wolfgang's pups
Original prompt: [WP]You were a powerful villain, wielding great power and caused great destruction. Then, you became a reformed anti-hero who saved the world 5 years ago from a greater evil. Now, you live quiet life of solitude away from society, with a part of you knowing that not everyone is so easy to forgive. (link)
I sprinted hard up the stony stairway, my two companions following closely behind. We had gotten enough headway that our pursuers were out of earshot, and it was dark enough that they might not spot us instantly if we hid, but we couldn't dally or they'd be on us before we could even catch our breath. Still, I could tell Annie was out of breath and Otto was still bleeding from his wounded leg.
We couldn't keep this up, but I spotted a potential salvation: a wooden shack on the side of the mountain, illuminated from within. I pulled slightly ahead and banged on the door, hoping for a fast response. My companions quickly caught up, but Otto stumbled and collapsed behind me and the moment Annie stopped she started gasping for air.
It took a moment longer than I would've liked, but finally a middle-aged man opened the door. His voice was low and gruff, like the crackle of a campfire, and the backlighting from his hut combined with his size and sneering gaze caused him to cut a dark and imposing figure.
"Yes? Ah, heroes, prosecuted vagabonds, miscreants... whatever, come in before the hail of stone gets you," he said.
I quickly ushered my companions inside, and the man closed the door behind me.
"Do you have healing magic? Those wounds will require treatment," he asked, gesturing at Otto.
"Yes," I said. "We didn't have time to heal because we're being pursued."
"Ah, unfortunate. I have a boat below the house, under that hatch," he said, gesturing at a wooden hatch in the floor. He glanced over my companions. "It's stocked for an escape, but it's down a flight of stairs. Do you think you can make it?"
"I need a minute..." Annie said, stopping to cough as she hunched over.
"Well, gravity will guarantee I get down there, but making it in one piece..." Otto said, stumbling into a chair as the adrenaline started to wear off.
"Right. Get down there as fast as you can, I'll hold them off," our host said, grabbing a quarterstaff that was leaning against the wall and walking to the front door. "Oh, and take Tabby with you, would you?"
I looked over and saw a cat sitting on the windowsill. As the man stepped outside, I picked up the cat and handed it to Annie, before casting a minor healing spell on Otto. He'd need better treatment, but it would probably be enough to get us out of here.
My companions pulled the hatch in the floor open, and began slowly climbing down. I watched them go for a moment, then stepped back to the front. Outside the front door, the man was standing, holding a small jug.
"Sir, there's no need to sacrifice yourself for us, I can still fight," I said, stepping outside and placing a hand on the hilt of my sword.
"Hm?" he asked, looking back at me. "Who said anything about sacrifice?"
It was at that point that the soldiers reached us, shouting for us to stop in the name of the king.
Our host merely whirled around and hucked the jug over their heads, blasting it with fire. The jug exploded, raining burning oil down on the soldiers, who immediately panicked and began attempting to pat out the flames. Some even dove from the cliffside, presumably attempting to douse themselves in the sea below. The rocky cliffside had other ideas, and many ended up bouncing once or twice before hitting the water. Those who weren't being baked in their armor simply pushed past their allies and continued charging at us.
"We can't win here! We need to run!" I said, grabbing our host's arm.
He simply raised his other arm, and shot a blast of magic that covered the top few steps in a layer of ice, before jerking his arm away. As the soldiers reached him, they began to slip on the ice. Some of them immediately fell off the side of the mountain, but those that reached him were "encouraged" off with a blow to the head. The soldiers at the back of the group quickly backed off and retreated back down the mountain.
"Come to my mountains with this half-assed assault force? They just don't make tyrants like they used to," he said, tapping his staff against his boots to knock off the teeth and blood that had gotten on them.
"Sir? Who are you?" I asked.
"Ah, right, the name's Wolfgang," he said.
"Sir Wolfgang? As in the knight who slew the mad king half a decade ago?" I asked.
"The one and only," he said, stepping back inside his hut. I followed him, watching as he collected a few bottles from his pantry and grabbed a framed picture off one of his shelves.
"Is there a reason you're grabbing everything? The soldiers are gone now..." I asked.
"Not for long, they'll be back in a matter of days. You picked up the cat, right?" he asked.
"Yes, my sister has it," I said.
"Good, she was Claus', so she can be a bit stubborn with me," Wolfgang said. He grabbed an open wine bottle and drank from it until it was empty.
"Uh, is this going to take long?" I asked.
"Just go ahead, I'll catch up," he said, opening the door and hurling the empty bottle onto the stairs. I could see a small group of the soldiers creeping back up the stairs toward the hut, but when the bottle shattered, the broken glass made them stop their advance again.
The soldier at the front of the group gave some quiet command to the others, and they began using their hands to carefully brush away the glass.
"What are you waiting for, boy? Get moving!" Sir Wolfgang shouted at me. I quickly ducked into the trapdoor, and began hurriedly climbing down the stairs.
Annie and Otto were just now getting into the small boat, which appeared to be an old fishing vessel large enough for four to five people. I quickly hopped into the boat, and helped the two of them in before I started untying it from the mooring.
"What about the old guy? Is he not coming?" Annie asked.
"He should be here soon, but the soldiers are still behind us," I said.
As I spoke, a rope lowered down from above holding the bag Wolfgang had been loading things into, which came down onto the deck. Wolfgang quickly slid down the rope after it, before hurling a fireball up at the shack above him. We quickly took the hint, and began pushing away from the dock, with the bag and Wolfgang landing on the deck as we began to part.
"Whoof, that almost got messy. Boy, when I tell you to get going, you need to get going!" he said.
"I couldn't just let you throw yourself away! That's not what heroes do!" I said.
"Not what heroes do? You're telling me that you were planning to fight them alongside a man you barely knew, out of some idiotic sense of honor?" he asked.
"Well... It would be preferable to just letting an innocent person die," I said.
"Honor is a lie made by the powerful to make the multitudes feel safer. You don't just jump into a fight you don't have to, and if you have to fight then you fight to win!" Wolfgang said.
"That doesn't sound very heroic, sir," I said.
"Bah, you remind me of Claus. All about truth, justice, and honor up until you get your fool head lopped off and leave it to the rest of us to finish the quest," he said.
"You don't sound like most of the knights I've met," I said.
"Knight? You mean this is-" Otto began to ask.
"Yes, but before I became a knight I was just known as the Night Wolf, terror of the western forest. But that's a long story," Wolfgang said.
I looked out over the open water, and up at the collapsing hut on the side of the coastal mountain ridge.
"I think we've got time," I said.
"Perhaps not as much as you think," Wolfgang said, pulling on a rope and snapping his fingers. The sail on the fishing boat unfurled, and a gust of wind kicked up, carrying the boat up the coast, away from the direction from which we'd come.
"So is this him?" Annie asked, holding up a framed photo. Her other hand was stuck in the bag Wolfgang had brought down with him, but I hadn't even noticed her digging through it. The photo depicted Wolfgang and another man, who even with just the one image could be identified as being leaner and far more cheerful than the man we'd been speaking with.
While I had assumed he would be angry with my sister, Wolfgang let out a raucous laugh and said, "Indeed, that's him. You seem like a sharper sort, girl."
"Thank you, sir," she said.
"So you said you wanted to know about my past?" he asked.
"I mean, we didn't say we wanted to know, just that your excuse for not telling us seemed flimsy," I said.
"So you don't want to know?" he asked.
"I'd like to know," Annie said.
"That's what I thought. It started back in that little mountain village, a lad living with his family herding sheep. Then one day raiders came, killed both his parents, before stealing all their valuables and the lad himself," he said.
"Aw, that's so sad..." Annie said.
"Yes, it is, but as the boy grew he learned to fight and to command respect. As leader after leader among the bandits died, he ended up in charge, and just like those before him looted and pillaged the countryside," Wolfgang said.
I could see a lighthouse in the distance, directly ahead of the bow of the boat.
"Then one day, his group assaulted a caravan, lead by a brave and dashing hero, who easily bested all but the most elite fighters among the bandits. As the others withdrew, the former village boy fell behind. There's no honor among thieves, so none of his comrades came to save him, nor did he expect them to. Instead, he made his prayers and turned to face the young man," Wolfgang said. "The hero got the upper hand, but after having sand thrown in his eyes, he got knocked over and run through..."
"Wait, but didn't you and Claus end up being friends?" Annie asked.
"Turns out he was a hero of legend, one of the gods' chosen, so he came back," Wolfgang said. "Caught me off guard when he came directly to our camp and assaulted it to liberate the people we'd kidnapped from the caravan. He was expecting the dirty tricks this time, so he managed to beat me. But instead of just killing me, he offered me an ultimatum: Give up my life as a bandit, or give up my life as a living person. Naturally, I chose the former, and joined him in his quest, and together we slew the Duke of the Shade."
"The Duke of Shade? But you're famous for slaying the mad king," I said.
"Indeed, Claus was a hero of legend, and his legend was done, but tyrants are forever," Wolfgang said. "When a new king ascended the throne, and turned out to be a monster, he took on another journey to stop him, and I came along. Long story short, he did the same he did with me, asked the king to change his ways, and the king betrayed his trust to put him in the ground... Turns out, the gods don't care what happens to a hero once their destined quest is done, so Claus was gone for good."
"So you moved to the mountains to... Wait for more adventurers?" I asked, looking at the small dock coming into view through the mist.
"No, I just didn't want to deal with people any more. Bastards, the lot of them, and the good ones tend to die young," he said. "Looks like we're here."
The boat pulled toward the dock, and Wolfgang threw a rope over the mooring before hopping out of the boat. A middle-aged woman was standing on the nearby shore, and approached us as we exited.
"Thought I'd heard a strange wind, turns out it's just an old wolf caught in the surf," she said. "Though this is the first I've seen of his cubs."
"They're just a loan, for the time being. Heroes, this is Sonia the Cyclops," he said. As Sonia got closer, it became clearer that she was blind in her left eye, though she lacked the eyepatch to make it fashionable.
"And this is the greeting I get after all we've been through together! Honestly, this guy," she said, with all the offense of someone responding to a joke from a long-time friend. "So what brings you lot here?"
"Well, we fought off some bandits, then a group of soldiers came by the orphanage to arrest us for no reason," I said, recalling the last few days events in as succinct a manner as I could.
"Ah, must be a prophecy," Sonia said. "Come on, I'll take you kids to the oracle so you can get a proper start on your journey. Care to come with, Wolf?"
"No thanks, Cy, I've got to get to a bathhouse. Might swing by later to give them some pointers on fighting, but I've seen enough oracles for one lifetime," Wolfgang said.
"I'm sure the goddess of destiny has... forgotten about all those things you called her after she said the gods wouldn't bring Claus back," Sonia said.
"All the same, I'm not going," Wolfgang said.
"Suit yourself. Come on, kids, we're burning moonlight," she said.
With that, Sonia led us off into the mist, toward a large building which claimed to hold the secrets of the future. Wolfgang took off in a different direction, heading for some other place I couldn't see due to the ever-thickening morning mist. We wouldn't end up seeing him again for the rest of our journey.

We couldn't keep this up, but I spotted a potential salvation: a wooden shack on the side of the mountain, illuminated from within. I pulled slightly ahead and banged on the door, hoping for a fast response. My companions quickly caught up, but Otto stumbled and collapsed behind me and the moment Annie stopped she started gasping for air.
It took a moment longer than I would've liked, but finally a middle-aged man opened the door. His voice was low and gruff, like the crackle of a campfire, and the backlighting from his hut combined with his size and sneering gaze caused him to cut a dark and imposing figure.
"Yes? Ah, heroes, prosecuted vagabonds, miscreants... whatever, come in before the hail of stone gets you," he said.
I quickly ushered my companions inside, and the man closed the door behind me.
"Do you have healing magic? Those wounds will require treatment," he asked, gesturing at Otto.
"Yes," I said. "We didn't have time to heal because we're being pursued."
"Ah, unfortunate. I have a boat below the house, under that hatch," he said, gesturing at a wooden hatch in the floor. He glanced over my companions. "It's stocked for an escape, but it's down a flight of stairs. Do you think you can make it?"
"I need a minute..." Annie said, stopping to cough as she hunched over.
"Well, gravity will guarantee I get down there, but making it in one piece..." Otto said, stumbling into a chair as the adrenaline started to wear off.
"Right. Get down there as fast as you can, I'll hold them off," our host said, grabbing a quarterstaff that was leaning against the wall and walking to the front door. "Oh, and take Tabby with you, would you?"
I looked over and saw a cat sitting on the windowsill. As the man stepped outside, I picked up the cat and handed it to Annie, before casting a minor healing spell on Otto. He'd need better treatment, but it would probably be enough to get us out of here.
My companions pulled the hatch in the floor open, and began slowly climbing down. I watched them go for a moment, then stepped back to the front. Outside the front door, the man was standing, holding a small jug.
"Sir, there's no need to sacrifice yourself for us, I can still fight," I said, stepping outside and placing a hand on the hilt of my sword.
"Hm?" he asked, looking back at me. "Who said anything about sacrifice?"
It was at that point that the soldiers reached us, shouting for us to stop in the name of the king.
Our host merely whirled around and hucked the jug over their heads, blasting it with fire. The jug exploded, raining burning oil down on the soldiers, who immediately panicked and began attempting to pat out the flames. Some even dove from the cliffside, presumably attempting to douse themselves in the sea below. The rocky cliffside had other ideas, and many ended up bouncing once or twice before hitting the water. Those who weren't being baked in their armor simply pushed past their allies and continued charging at us.
"We can't win here! We need to run!" I said, grabbing our host's arm.
He simply raised his other arm, and shot a blast of magic that covered the top few steps in a layer of ice, before jerking his arm away. As the soldiers reached him, they began to slip on the ice. Some of them immediately fell off the side of the mountain, but those that reached him were "encouraged" off with a blow to the head. The soldiers at the back of the group quickly backed off and retreated back down the mountain.
"Come to my mountains with this half-assed assault force? They just don't make tyrants like they used to," he said, tapping his staff against his boots to knock off the teeth and blood that had gotten on them.
"Sir? Who are you?" I asked.
"Ah, right, the name's Wolfgang," he said.
"Sir Wolfgang? As in the knight who slew the mad king half a decade ago?" I asked.
"The one and only," he said, stepping back inside his hut. I followed him, watching as he collected a few bottles from his pantry and grabbed a framed picture off one of his shelves.
"Is there a reason you're grabbing everything? The soldiers are gone now..." I asked.
"Not for long, they'll be back in a matter of days. You picked up the cat, right?" he asked.
"Yes, my sister has it," I said.
"Good, she was Claus', so she can be a bit stubborn with me," Wolfgang said. He grabbed an open wine bottle and drank from it until it was empty.
"Uh, is this going to take long?" I asked.
"Just go ahead, I'll catch up," he said, opening the door and hurling the empty bottle onto the stairs. I could see a small group of the soldiers creeping back up the stairs toward the hut, but when the bottle shattered, the broken glass made them stop their advance again.
The soldier at the front of the group gave some quiet command to the others, and they began using their hands to carefully brush away the glass.
"What are you waiting for, boy? Get moving!" Sir Wolfgang shouted at me. I quickly ducked into the trapdoor, and began hurriedly climbing down the stairs.
Annie and Otto were just now getting into the small boat, which appeared to be an old fishing vessel large enough for four to five people. I quickly hopped into the boat, and helped the two of them in before I started untying it from the mooring.
"What about the old guy? Is he not coming?" Annie asked.
"He should be here soon, but the soldiers are still behind us," I said.
As I spoke, a rope lowered down from above holding the bag Wolfgang had been loading things into, which came down onto the deck. Wolfgang quickly slid down the rope after it, before hurling a fireball up at the shack above him. We quickly took the hint, and began pushing away from the dock, with the bag and Wolfgang landing on the deck as we began to part.
"Whoof, that almost got messy. Boy, when I tell you to get going, you need to get going!" he said.
"I couldn't just let you throw yourself away! That's not what heroes do!" I said.
"Not what heroes do? You're telling me that you were planning to fight them alongside a man you barely knew, out of some idiotic sense of honor?" he asked.
"Well... It would be preferable to just letting an innocent person die," I said.
"Honor is a lie made by the powerful to make the multitudes feel safer. You don't just jump into a fight you don't have to, and if you have to fight then you fight to win!" Wolfgang said.
"That doesn't sound very heroic, sir," I said.
"Bah, you remind me of Claus. All about truth, justice, and honor up until you get your fool head lopped off and leave it to the rest of us to finish the quest," he said.
"You don't sound like most of the knights I've met," I said.
"Knight? You mean this is-" Otto began to ask.
"Yes, but before I became a knight I was just known as the Night Wolf, terror of the western forest. But that's a long story," Wolfgang said.
I looked out over the open water, and up at the collapsing hut on the side of the coastal mountain ridge.
"I think we've got time," I said.
"Perhaps not as much as you think," Wolfgang said, pulling on a rope and snapping his fingers. The sail on the fishing boat unfurled, and a gust of wind kicked up, carrying the boat up the coast, away from the direction from which we'd come.
"So is this him?" Annie asked, holding up a framed photo. Her other hand was stuck in the bag Wolfgang had brought down with him, but I hadn't even noticed her digging through it. The photo depicted Wolfgang and another man, who even with just the one image could be identified as being leaner and far more cheerful than the man we'd been speaking with.
While I had assumed he would be angry with my sister, Wolfgang let out a raucous laugh and said, "Indeed, that's him. You seem like a sharper sort, girl."
"Thank you, sir," she said.
"So you said you wanted to know about my past?" he asked.
"I mean, we didn't say we wanted to know, just that your excuse for not telling us seemed flimsy," I said.
"So you don't want to know?" he asked.
"I'd like to know," Annie said.
"That's what I thought. It started back in that little mountain village, a lad living with his family herding sheep. Then one day raiders came, killed both his parents, before stealing all their valuables and the lad himself," he said.
"Aw, that's so sad..." Annie said.
"Yes, it is, but as the boy grew he learned to fight and to command respect. As leader after leader among the bandits died, he ended up in charge, and just like those before him looted and pillaged the countryside," Wolfgang said.
I could see a lighthouse in the distance, directly ahead of the bow of the boat.
"Then one day, his group assaulted a caravan, lead by a brave and dashing hero, who easily bested all but the most elite fighters among the bandits. As the others withdrew, the former village boy fell behind. There's no honor among thieves, so none of his comrades came to save him, nor did he expect them to. Instead, he made his prayers and turned to face the young man," Wolfgang said. "The hero got the upper hand, but after having sand thrown in his eyes, he got knocked over and run through..."

But instead of just killing me, he offered me an ultimatum: Give up my life as a bandit, or give up my life as a living person. Naturally, I chose the former, and joined him in his quest, and together we slew the Duke of the Shade."
"The Duke of Shade? But you're famous for slaying the mad king," I said.
"Indeed, Claus was a hero of legend, and his legend was done, but tyrants are forever," Wolfgang said. "When a new king ascended the throne, and turned out to be a monster, he took on another journey to stop him, and I came along. Long story short, he did the same he did with me, asked the king to change his ways, and the king betrayed his trust to put him in the ground... Turns out, the gods don't care what happens to a hero once their destined quest is done, so Claus was gone for good."
"So you moved to the mountains to... Wait for more adventurers?" I asked, looking at the small dock coming into view through the mist.
"No, I just didn't want to deal with people any more. Bastards, the lot of them, and the good ones tend to die young," he said. "Looks like we're here."
The boat pulled toward the dock, and Wolfgang threw a rope over the mooring before hopping out of the boat. A middle-aged woman was standing on the nearby shore, and approached us as we exited.

2023.06.01 02:28 GRF_McElroy I don't get how enemy ships in FG never sink
We put multiple rounds of holes in their ship. Immediately board, bottom is already full of water. Kill them all three or four times in a row on spawn. Our crewmate is bilging all of our water directly onto their boat. They never sink after like 3 minutes of this? Their bottom deck (sloop) was full of water and holes for 3 to 4 minutes and they never went below the surface of the waves and never slowed down. Is this a bug, a cheat, or are we just not playing right?

2023.06.01 02:15 Kluxic I almost feel bad for this Galactus player
 | Using a Sentry Stature deck I found today, had a really interesting line play out. submitted by Kluxic to MarvelSnap [link] [comments] T4: Wave / Galactus T5: I play Maximus + Viper as he plays Doc Oc, he pulls my Attuma, Demon, Stature. Attuma self destructs. I’m winning 15-19. T6: Attuma left me room to play Cosmo and stay below 19 power, he plays destroyer which would have been a tie, instead seals his fate. Locations take the game to another level, have fun out there y’all. |
2023.06.01 02:05 BasisWestern4639 93 del sol s / super rich and stalling
I've got a d15b (no number after the b). Pm3-12 head, non vtec, 5spd manual p06 ecu. Bought it a while ago, since then I had the head rebuilt and decked at a machine shop because I blew the headgasket, 200+ psi in each cylinder before it went, hypereutectic pistons I think were added before me, maybe why psi is so high? Since doing headgasket I had to retorque the headbolts because they backed out and head was leaking oil? No clue why besides aluminum expanding and contracting. Ive followed every step by the book. Seemed to fix some issues, however, it is running very rich (aftermarket header, no cat, straightpipe) and almost wants to die on idle after warmed up and driven. goes below 500rpm then slowly back to 650-700 sometimes it will stall. Ive replaced everything from fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, all injectors, iacv, distributor (cap and rotor), wires, plugs, vacuum lines, o2 sensor, timed the engine/ignition all to spec. I'm at a loss and have been reading old honda forums for weeks and cannot figure this out. I'm lead with some trouble shooting to either the iacv or fitv. I have not touched the fitv, map or tps. No stored codes either. This is my first ever post on reddit so I hope its okay and not too long, thanks for any feedback! I've got a lot more info I can give too on issues lmao, or if there is a more appropriate forum I'll take it there. Thanks!
