Duma

I got all the top players this week including the Star player! Received the book: "A Binary Life: The Coconut that Bootstrapped Itself" as a reward for the correct star player. I will keep the same team for round 4.

I agree with @Musical_Shoyru! Even though I feel that, while all life is important (even that of a spider or a snail for example) up until a point, a person should also be allowed to make decisions about their own body.

Each and every one should also be allowed to just have their own opinion. I am for that reason keeping a close eye on this thread, and I hope we can all keep it a friendly discussion!

If at one point this thread becomes hostile towards people with different believes I will close this to keep the forum friendly!

I personally am sad about this law because this would mean that this freedom of believe and opinion can't be executed. People that are against abortion aren't forced into abortion, but people who feel differently about that are being forced to either move or worse.

I am going for Brutes because they haven't won since January and some new players I know still need that avatar. I don't like their boons either and if not for that I would have gone for awakened in the hopes a good boon would have been there.

I've adjusted the double since no one had voted yet. Saved me some time

This topic is for the current round of June 27th.

Same here, not the best team yet but not bad at all!

Keeping my team for this week because I want to stay loyal (and give them another chance) to Kikocat and Senor Malo) I've also kept Supagoo as Star player for this week.

Not a bug as far as I know. It has always been like that. For hit points you can get to 3x the level, but for the other stats, you will need to bring your level up to at least half of your highest stat (HP) until you are allowed to train it again to max 2x the level. It can be really annoying if you're not careful and will make you pay a lot of reds a lot sooner that you planned.

I've barely played so not really the right person to answer but for the games I did play I haven't had any problems.

So now that I have the hang of playing there's more questions. I know there are 20 ranks. I am at rank 6. Is this a good average for this point in the game? What rank is everyone else at? 

The ranks have nothing to do with the staff tournament, those two are completely separate. As for what is a good rank, it depends on what you want, if you want to go for the top prizes or All Star, you're behind I think. if you don't care about any of that, every rank is just fine! my goal is to at least get to rank 1 lol. I've barely played due to a lot of real life things but mostly because I dislike grinding and I can never get myself to it. I'll probably try to get rank 1 this weekend.

I will be changing MissRainbow for the pink female and probably Clammyhand for the best Team scoring male for next round.  Let's hope they keep their scores up and weren't burned out with one round!

Round 2 Team:

Scores for round 1:

You did good @Granny63020 Your scores are very nice!

You select a member by clicking on them (like you did, so you see their information) and then you click on the button "Add to my team" or something like that. One of the question marks will then be replaced by that player. Add two forwards, two defenders and one goalie and you're all set! Pick a Star player after picking your team and that's it.

It's also possible that you are too late to pick a team for this round. I just went to the page and I can't change my own team anymore right now. I'm not sure how long it's possible to pick a team for each round. They are "playing" now. So if it really doesn't work, try again after the first round ended.

Oops, I missed it this post! I just posted it too but I'll remove mine. Thank you for posting @Aquamentis12.

I didn't had time to make the post because of a sick kitty at home. Had to go to the vet with him but it seems he will be fine, got some medicine to give him and at least it's nothing serious. Just a very upset tummy for a too long time.

I voted for the Order but it will be a difficult round for sure!

Which faction are you joining for this round?

So, vote!

Good luck!

You must win in 10 battles each round in order to win the boons.

Oxbridge Prediction:

Obelisk Team                             Prediction
Brute Squad                                  37%
Awakened                                     14%
Thieves Guild                                 12%

Also, After picking your team you can select one of your players as a star player. Just click on "Pick Star Player" and select someone from the popup. At the end of the week the star player will be announced along with the results. The category is always different and unknown to us until the end. It could be best performing newbie or anything else they come up with. It's basically just a gamble and you can only pick from your chosen team while they could have picked someone that wasn't even on your team (even players with terrible scores are star players at times).

Picked these people for round one, all of them have been in last year's Staff Tournament:

Hi and welcome to the forum Hana! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

How long before you know the level of success with your vision correction? Or is 20/20 or better guaranteed with this procedure?

 

Cool! Seekers do look like the hands-down favorites! Which is great because I like their boons compared to the other factions this round.

Friday I get my first checkup on that. Usually the vision is about 50% from what I've heard. My next checkup will be in a month. Full visual recovery typically takes about three months and from all the people that I've heard that did it, their vision is at like 120%. In my brochure it said that there will be one last checkup 1 year from now, mostly to see that it didn't decline again.

Now, Let us go Seek and Destroy XD!

GREAT!!! I'm so happy for you Duma! For me, the childhood fear would be seeing the knife or whatever coming at my eye. I've never had anything done to my eyes, but that is kind of a nightmare scenario that has stuck with me since I was little. LOL I hope you didn't see anything with the procedure you had done! I mean DURING of course! lol I am ecstatic that things seem like they went well! So awesome you didn't even need to touch your painkiller meds! ^__^

There wasn't any knife needed with the TransPRK technique. They put a bunch of drops in your eyes (Which would already be horrible for you), One of which was a anesthetic drop, then they walked with you to the chair for you to lay down in. After taping your eyes so you can't blink, all that's left is stare into a laser light for about 45 seconds per eye, some more drops and a protective contact lens gets put in and it's done! The amount of drops after, now that was something. It didn't hurt but it was just so many of them, some every 2 hours, other drops every 3 hours,  2 other kinds of drops 2 times a day...

I'm now down to 3 kinds, 1 only once a day before bedtime, another 3 times a day and the last one at least 6 times but is allowed more often as they are only fake tears. I have more problems with shower water (without soap) in my eyes than I have with the drops so it's all good!

As for the vote: I am voting for the Seekers! It seems that one has the majority vote anyway.

It was completely painless! I never touched the painkillers they gave me. I did suffer from blurry vision at some days, other days my sight was perfect. The wound healed a bit slower then expected so the bandage lens came off Sunday evening instead of Friday. But, that's okay, since it was still painless. I did made sure to stay indoors as much as possible and to keep my medication schedule. Also I never went outside without my sunglasses AND my hat. Yesterday was a bad day for my vision (blurry all the time) but today seems like a good day so it will be my first day back at work.  Thanks for asking!

I haven't figured out what to vote for, I'll vote as soon as I have.

Which faction are you joining for this round?

So, vote!

Good luck!

I joined The Sway too! Let's hope they win even if I won't be able to enjoy the boons much

Also, I'm not worried, because of the shape of my eye and the fact that I practice martial arts they decided on a "laser only" surgery. Your eyes get clamps so you can't blink and you get a pain killer and something to keep you calm. Then all you need to do is stare to a laser light for about a minute for each eye and it's done. I will need a lot of eye drops and yes that will be horrible because I can't stand water in my eyes either even though I never had something bad in my eye. But I'll just make sure I keep the after-op en pre-op schedule and I'm sure it will be fine! I can't wait to actually be able to see in practice and without glasses

Hey Duma! How'd things go with the eyes? Thanks for posting the poll! Was just coming here in case I needed to do it instead.

Hmmm.... I'm leaning toward The Sway since I like their boons the best, but I'll wait a little, see how others vote.

My eye surgery will be next week Tuesday, so it will be during a boons week it seems

I'm leaning towards Sway myself, I'll see either tonight or tomorrow morning who has the majority of votes and then decide who I'll join.

Which faction are you joining for the 233rd round?

So, vote!

Good luck!
