Beware of Ignition Casino UPDATE
So three days ago I made a post about ignition casino holding up my withdrawal for X amount for 5 days. Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/pokecomments/80nnao/beware_of_ignition_casino/ It has been 8 days later and the Bitcoin has yet to be sent to me nor have I received a response from the "withdrawals department" at ignition even though I sent them a screenshot of the bitcoin transactions of the wallet address I provided them 3 days ago. So this morning I reach out to them on live chat to see what is going on. Sorry I dont have the full convo as I was talking to him on my cell phone in bed but here is a screenshot of what I think is some important info: https://imgur.com/gallery/Kzeaw Here the Ignition employee is agreeing that they can see I haven't received the funds yet, however for the next 30 mins of the live chat he proceeds to tell me there is nothing that can be done, the money is sent and that is that. So I proceed to call in and talk to Ronique for an hour and fifteen minutes. The whole time she is telling me some of the same things I have already heard like bitcoin congestion, the money was confirmed sent with an Ignition ref number, nothing can be done that I need to send more info, blah blah... She also tried to explain to me how I shouldnt of sent the bitcoin straight to another site like that and how this is explained on their site in three easy steps. Here is the site with the three easy steps: https://www.ignitioncasino.eu/bitcoinhelp You will notice the three easy steps to bitcoin success have a button you can push on the button to make a bitcoin deposit lul and do not make any reference to make a withdraw. I try to explain to her that the bitcoin ledger is not showing this transaction that they continue to say was sent and I try to explain to her that this transaction should show up and confirm what they are telling me but it is not. So after the hour and 15 min she finally tells me to hold on and that she will connect me to a "Bitcoin Expert" (Finally some progress at least, I can talk to someone with some bitcoin knowledge). I am now on the phone with Keman "Bitcoin Expert" and within the first 2 mins of the conversation he does acknowledge the fact that this bitcoin transaction is not showing up on the bitcoin ledger hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. He then proceeds to tell me he needs to hear back from his withdrawal team and try to get to the bottom of this. I am finally starting to feel like I am not crazy, wow this has been a nightmare. However, it is going to take 24-48hrs to hear another response and now I am back to square one. Maybe someone can help me understand this but I was under the impression that every single bitcoin transaction should show up on the bitcoin ledger and its pretty much set in stone. Am I correct in thinking this or have I lost my mind? Update as of 8 pm: I have received the following email “We're contacting you from Ignition Casino Customer Service regarding your withdrawal with Reference Number xxxxxxxxxx. The withdrawal was successful on our end. Please consult with who you got this address from in order to look into the payment further. Should you require further assistance, please feel free to contact us. Best Regards, Customer Service Ignition Casino [email protected]” I then proceeded to talk to Tom the ignition supervisor on the phone for the last 40 mins. He proceeded to tell me that the withdrawal team was not telling me to kick rocks and talk to the people who I generated the bitcoin address from in the email but that they were asking for more information for the inquiry in my case. The bit of info they wanted was to know where I got the bitcoin address which they have know for at least 6 days now. I then asked him what the policy was in regards to supervisors stepping in and either crediting an account or just resolving the issue. He informs me he can’t not do anything until the investigation is done. Well from the email it sure sounds like the investigation team was done with my case and if it weren’t for me calling in and asking for more info with a supervisor they would have never asked me where I got my address (such a vital part of the investigation or so it seemed to Tom). So I expressed my concerns and in turn he could do or say nothing expect for “yes sir I agree with you”. Btw he is the third person to acknowledge no evidence on the bitcoin ledger of a transaction. I bet you can’t guess what I am waiting for now??? 24-48 hr response from the withdrawals team LUL!!!!
Hello everyone, since the last Ignition Casino update my HUD isn’t working on the site anymore. I use Holdem Indicator and have never had any issues in the past. Is anyone else having issues with HUDs working on Ignition Casino / Bovada recently?
We were going to take my dad off life support, but God had other plans- Your feel good 'miracles' do happen true story for the day
With everything going on, sounds like you all need a feel good story. So here is mine. About 3 weeks ago, my father suffered a brain stem stroke in front of the emergency department, while going to visit my mother who was just admitted that morning for internal bleeding. He was somehow able to drive to the hospital, park the car, turn off the ignition and come out of the car before he stumbled and fell. A Good Samaritan found him and he was admitted to the hospital with signs of stroke. So here I am, an only child, with both my parents in the hospital. F**k me, right? For almost 10 days my dad lay in the ICU. He was not progressing at all and was paralyzed on his right side. He was dependent on a ventilator, his blood pressure skyrocketed, he was put on insulin for his diabetes and was on an obscene amount of sedatives and pain killers. This man, who snuck me wine coolers before my high school dances, took lonely seniors on casino runs and never missed a birthday/graduation/holiday for any of his grandchildren was lying down in a hospital bed fighting for his life. The times he was barely conscious, he cried. This is a man, in all my 44 years of life, has never cried. His physician, at the time had written him off as being someone with a very 'low quality of life'. My father, an extremely vibrant man with a big mouth and an equally big heart, would likely never walk again and since he was not progressing, my mother and I made the very difficult decision to withdraw care in 48 hours. This was the most heartbreaking decision that I ever had to make. My kids saw me in the worst state of my life. My puppy (7 month old shihpoo) let me ugly cry into his fur. It was the worst week of my life. Fast forward 48 hours later. My mom and I went to say our final goodbyes to my dad. We ran into our priest in the hospital who had just blessed my dad the day before (as we jokingly said that the only way to get him to be catholic was for him to be on his death bed). He mentioned how alert my father was. When we walked in to his room, the nurse said that he was watching TV. I mean, WTF, how is this man, who was in a vegetable state like 48 hours ago, watching T.V? We walked in to find my dad fully awake, off all sedatives, able to squeeze our hands and able to communicate by nodding his head. This was certainly NOT a man who was ready to die. The nurse then explained that he had progressed in the past 24 hours and that we could 'change our mind' with withdrawing end of care. We asked my dad if he was willing to try getting off the ventilator. We asked him if he was willing to fight the long battle ahead. He nodded yes, and squeezed out hand. I have since reported the doctor that told us that my father had no quality of life as she did not update us on our progress, and I can't help to think if they would have continued the end of life process had we not been able to visit him that day. It's been two weeks since that life changing day in the ICU. My father has been progressing really well, able to fully move his left arm and leg, and occasionally, will stick his middle finger up at me and the nurse so at least we know he still has his sense off humour. He is completely off the ventilator and is undergoing physiotherapy. The doctors are amazed at his progress, stating that patients with his prognosis do not recover that quickly or, recover at all for that matter. We are not sure what the future holds for my father, but I am so grateful that he is alive. And to see him flip the bird to me, is priceless.
I'll cut off my dick for the ability to use a regulated site. (Shit post FYI)
*Its been a few months.. and it's about that time that I make a shit post where I bitch about everything* To all my fellow US players getting fucked in the ass per usual... WHAT THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO DO TO USE A HONEST POKER SITE!? It's 2021 and it has been almost a decade since I have been able to use a worthy-poker-site such as Full Tilt, Stars, 888, Party Poker, and so on. I am starting to fall out of love with poker because I can't keep playing on these bullshit sites located in Panama and throughout the Caribbean. Here are a couple of my experiences from the past 8-ish months or so. ACWPN/BCP: - 2 to 4 months ago I received 2 PARTIAL refunds due to bots being at my table, in which one scenario was a final table. Didn't even get a full fucking refund. This also doesn't mention the other partial refunds I received earlier in 2020. - As you all well know, ACR has had multiple scandals going back to 2012, like the the 2018-2019 PLO/NL cash game bots and several people colluding together to take advantage of the late reg glitch. Nagy can eat a fat dick. - If you play at America's Cardroom in 2021 you're a fucking retard. (No offence) Betonline/BOL: - 6 months ago Betonline removed $1000 from my poker balance on my account and said that the money was transferred to my sportsbook balance at 4am PST and all of it was spent in the online casino. When I asked them to investigate they did nothing. So I asked their Fraud/IT Department to send me a list of all devices, MAC addresses, and IP addresses that signed into my account that day... They refused to cooperate... Customer service said it was against company policy to release that type of information, even though its MY OWN fucking account and personal information. ( I took a break from the site but eventually returned because US players have no options and I love MTTs.) - 2 months ago I deposited $50 of ETH to their sports book to bet on an NFL game. Blockchain.com confirmed that BOL's Etheruem address received my money, and I even sent customer service proof of the transaction THREE TIMES. They still refuse to issue me my $50 deposit to this day, stating "our system says the deposit is still pending". - 2 days ago I received a $5 refund from a Windfall Sit n Go because the 2 other two players at my table were bots :) :) :) I should just kill myself at this point. WHO THE FUCK HAS BOTS AT THE JACK POT SIT N GO. Bovada/Ignition: - Honestly, I haven't used them in like a year or two because they removed the chat box, make it a pain to utilize HUD software, and that fucking update they did to their software. That huge software update was so fucking horrible the sites damn near unplayable. I'm sure you guys remember the old canvas/layout that Bovada/Iggy use to utilize, it was way better. Anyways, I just don't know what to do anymore. I NEVER had any of these issues back in the Full Tilt days. I don't even want to play half the time because I'm sick of all the bullshit. I am also in Los Angeles, CA so the lockdown bullshit makes live poker a huge pain in the ass. Some casinos are open, some are closed, some are outside, some make you wear mask and sit in between plastic dividers, some allow you to order drinks but not food. It's all fucking stupid. I really want to use my VPN but I don't want to build up a bankroll on a legit site like PartyPoker and then have my funds frozen. Maybe I should just hang myself instead. (joking, just being a dramatic pussy) On a serious note, thank you for listening to me bitch and moan about my first world problems. I hope ya'll are happy, healthy and staying covid-free. Cheers to 2021, MAY THE POKER GODS BE IN YOUR FAVOR!
Beware: DT Ignite/Mobile Services Manager now seems to be built into Samsung's Galaxy Apps.
I booted up my Galaxy J3, Galaxy Apps updated itself, and then apps silently installed such as Wish, News Break, Pandora, GSN Casino, and several others onto my phone. An ad for a sponsored app also appeared. If you're wondering, DT Ignite is an app made by Digital Turbine that is installed on phones by carriers. It installs apps on your phone silently without consent, shows ads on your phone's notification center, uses data which could rack up data fees on limited data plans, and collects your data. It's basically a modern version of Carrier IQ. AT&T calls it AT&T App Select, Verizon calls it Verizon App Manager, Tracfone calls it Mobile Services, and the generic name Digital Turbine gave it is Mobile Services Manager. I went into App Info and they all said "App downloaded from Galaxy Apps". You can't disable Galaxy Apps in the Settings app, but some carrier versions of DT Ignite can be disabled. I would highly recommend disabling it.
President Sarkissian visited Yerablur on Sunday. "These are difficult days. I hope that with the end of 2020 we will close the tragic page and we will be able to stand up and open a new page. The only thing we will remember from 2020 is the sacred memory of the people who gave their lives to defend the Homeland. All misfortunes should be lessons, not painful memories. We have to start our life again. I look forward to the end of this year". PM and family paid tributes to fallen soldiers in Tavush province. LHK and church leadership visited Yerablur Pantheon. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038367.html , https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038378.html , https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038379.html , https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038381.html
parts from Pashinyan speech: past & present, investigation, border demarcation
We will need a comprehensive evaluation of how and why things developed and ended that way. We must face the reality and admit that we have made mistakes for many years, the mistakes we have made have been systemic, conceptual, substantive. This cannot be a result of one person or events in just a few years. Did I understand all this while taking office as Prime Minister? Of course. Was I trying to change the situation? Of course. I am now more convinced than ever that there was simply no time to stop the spinning wheel of history. The borders in the Syunik sector are being adjusted, or rather, the Armenian Armed Forces are being stationed on the internationally recognized borders of Armenia (there were no soldiers here before because Syunik was not bordering Azerbaijan before the war). This process changes certain setups we're familiar with, introduces inconveniences, complications, and emotions. In reality, this is being done to ensure and strengthen the safety of Syunik. How? In areas outside of the Republic of Armenia, there was a high risk of military actions, which could carry on to Syunik with all their consequences. By doing the border demarcation of our internationally-recognized lands, we are introducing security assurances. Additionally, Russian border guards are already stationed in some parts of Syunik, which creates a whole new situation. The demarcation can complicate travel on some roads, but these are issues that can be resolved by having an AM-AZ-RU document (specifically about road safety). Not one millimeter of Syunik or Republic of Armenia land has been conceded. Any claim to the contrary is simply false. The people, only the people, should decide the fate of the government and not the elite circles. My November 18th Roadmap will address post-war issues and establish internal stability. "Let's build Armenia anew." I chose this slogan before the war to guide Armenia's transformation strategy. And this formula is useful for our future as well. We have to perceive the world in a new way, we have to look at what we have to do in a new way, we have to re-evaluate our capabilities in a new way, first of all in education, science, technological development, we have to build our dream anew, and we have to dream anew. Glory to our fallen heroes, glory to our living heroes, and glory to those who will still be heroes on the way to realizing the dreams of our people. Full: https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038333.html
borders: fake news, rumors, and rebuttals
Artsakh president office: the media rumors about giving Karmir Shuka (south) to Azerbaijan is fake news. Moreover, we plan to build new housing there soon. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038399.html MoD denied media rumors that two Tavush villages are being handed over to Azerbaijan and that the soldiers were told to leave. "Refrain from spreading unverified fake news," said MoD. Tavush governor called the reports "irresponsible and dangerous". https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038457.html , https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038464.html Sosu Purak is a park in Syunik province, bordering Azerbaijan. The Nature Ministry rebutted the media rumors about half of the park going under Azeri control. *"Sosu Purak, which is managed by Zangezur POAK, has 64.1 hectares of lands, which are located within the Republic of Armenia." https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038477.html
border demarcation continues in Syunik / Pashinyan visits the border settlements
NSS says: border adjustments are being made in Goris-Kapan road sections under the mediation of Russia. (read Friday report for details). The process will finish in a few days. It'll nesure safe passage for cars. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038380.html Syunik governor Melikset: don't exit the Armenian border to collect or chop wood. Keep your animal herds within Armenia. The border roads will have info-plates with numbers that you can dial if you have questions. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038383.html Pashinyan before visiting Syunik: I am saddened to learn that my visit to Syunik has ignited certain passions. I hope you will be convinced that my decision to visit Syunik is not intended to inflame everyone. I made the decision to convey my respect and appreciation for the people of Syunik. The second most important reason is to answer your questions, to give the necessary explanations. Not a single millimeter of land has been ceded from Syunik Province of RA and I hope we'll be able to talk about this. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038397.html protesters A group of protesters, lead by the city's deputy-mayors, closed the Goris road so Pashinyan couldn't enter the city. The police were involved, there was a scuffle. Goris mayor ex-HHK Arush Arushanyan was taken to the police station earlier that day and charged with attempting to organize an unauthorized event/protest (Code 34-2251) to prevent the PM from entering the city. HHK and BHK officials gathered outside of the police station to show him support. 2010 border demarcation law, the "GPS" myth Pashinyan met the crowd in Sisian. One of the opposition's complaints has been "GPS is inaccurate and cannot be used for demarcation", to which, Pashinyan answered, "[the demarcation] is done multiple times, with different methods. There is no issue in this regard." Pashinyan: There is a lot of talk about *"giving away" Syunik". In fact, it is quite the opposite. When we deploy our border troops in accordance with the Armenian border, our level of security increases because that border also becomes the border of the security system of which we are a member. The demarcation is carried out following the law adopted in 2010. The issue is that the current borders, the description of the administrative borders of our communities, were clarified by the law on the "administrative-territorial division of the Republic of Armenia", adopted in 2010. In that law, for example, villages Khndzoresk and Tegh were drawn to include borders with Azerbaijan. The government in 2010 had accepted that demarcation; now we're facing problems here. And today, some of the people, who ask why and how the borders are being demarcated this way, are the same officials who were public officials in 2010, who adopted this law.If what we're doing today is "treason", then what happened in 2010 is even more of a "treason". "why didn't CSTO get involved during war?" Pashinyan: why didn't CSTO act during the war? For the same reason: our 2010 law states that this is what our official Republic of Armenia border is and that anything beyond Tegh village is Azerbaijan. CSTO, naturally, couldn't act beyond our official borders. We have received assurances that in the event of action within our borders, the bloc will act. army & people Resident: our army did not lose the war. Pashinyan: Our army and the people are heroes, there can be no two opinions about it. That doesn't mean there weren't issues, or some soldiers and generals didn't complete their tasks. We must build our self-confidence and optimism one by one, we must rebuild Armenia and Artsakh. meeting in Sisian Pashinyan visited Sisian city Pantheon. He then met a crowd in the main square and thanked them for "for such an understanding, for such an acceptance". During a speech in Sisian, Pashinyan said he will avoid confrontation with those who closed the road to Goris city. He said there were families and supporters who wanted to meet in Goris, and that one of the reasons the road was closed to possibly prevent that from happening. Father of a fallen soldier: Pashinyan still has 8 months to go. He must and will answer all the questions. Tomorrow, ARF Ishkhan Saghatelyan and those guys [ex-regime] must also answer. Tomorrow they [ex-regime] will say "go ask Nikol if you have questions". So Nikol should do his part and answer the questions, so others can answer theirs. Pashinyan: please try not to politicize today [about giving ARF Ishkhan's name]. Father of a fallen soldier: we must give their names. The same names and their parties are gathered in the public square today. Today you [Nikol] must enter Sisian and elsewhere with your head held high and without bodyguards. Let's get rid of pain and sorrow then we will know what to do next. various concerns Residents spoke about various border and social issues. Pashinyan: I came to look at Syunik residents in the eye. I know that I'm guilty in many ways. Our citizens deserve more. Unfortunately, not a single government, including ours, has been able to deliver what our citizens deserve. I apologize on behalf of all governments. priest vs Pashinyan While in Syunik, Pashinyan entered a church and lit a candle in memory of the fallen. Upon exiting, he came across priest Pargev Zeynalyan. Pashinyan raised his hand to greet but the priest let it hang in the air. Pashinyan left. A church representative said the priest had the right to express his political beliefs. That didn't prevent the crowd, angry at the priest's conduct, to march to the church and block its entrance. They wanted to kick the priest out. The police told the crowd not to enter. The priest refused to meet the protesters. The protesters left and promised, "not to allow the politicized priest to enter that church again". The priest denied subsequent false rumors about police allegedly raiding his house over the incident. (of course, gotta throw a couple of fake news here and there for "political persecutions" illusion)
border demarcation: Shurnukh border village suburbs
Mayor of border village Shurnukh, Syunik: The 12 houses in the lower suburbs, which according to rumors were supposed to go under Azeri control, will stay under Armenian control, according to the latest updated information. The army and Russians came and began working on border installation beyond the village area. I'm not entirely sure this is the final status, it could change, so stay tuned. There will be a demarcation process but I don't know when. Our local volunteers guard the borders. Women and children were evacuated from the area for now, just in case. https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203332
re: Russians will guard parts of 21km Syunik road
MoD says: some of the 21km Goris-Kapan road goes through disputed areas. We have an agreement for Russian border guards to monitor Goris-Kapan and Goris-Davit Bek sections to ensure safe passage. Armenian and Azeri troops will be stationed on opposite sides of the road. More info in the coming days. (if you look at the map, the road is the exact border) https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203346
press unions condemn attacks on media outlets / free press
First incident. Former regime's activists attempted to prevent Pashinyan and tens of thousands of participants from marching to Yerablur Pantheon on weekend. During the incident, they identified a journalist from "Azatutyun" (pro-western) and began assaulting him. (Azatutyun office was also raided by supporters of former regime on November 10th). Second incident. 5TV is owned by Kocharyan's friend. It has a record of manipulating interviews and information in general (e.g. the March 1st documentary). Some people don't like them for this reason. 5TV reporter was cussed by Pashinyan supporters, while QP MP Andranik Kocharyan refused to take questions from him. Third incident. Opposition activists cussed Azatutyun reporters and tried to prevent them from doing the work. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038471.html
PRESS casualties during the war
HR Ombusmn: Five foreign and two Armenian reporters received severe injuries during the war. One reporter was killed. They were targeted by Azerbaijan intentionally. They were wearing PRESS uniforms, which are visibly different from army uniforms. Azerbaijan prevented reporters from working in front lines and launched a felony investigation against some international reporters (Semyon Pegov) for visiting Artsakh. https://web.archive.org/web/20201219074426/https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203315
POWs & search operation
62 Armenian soldiers remain encircled/captured near the Khtsaberd village after the previous weekend skirmishes in the narrow strip of land held by Armenia west of the Shushi-Hadrut corridor. "They are alive and well." Azerbaijan has acknowledged their presence. Work is being done with Russian peacekeepers to repatriate them. 70 others had returned a few days ago. One volunteer guard said it began after over a thousand Azeri troops moved forward and told them to leave a position; some did while others didn't. This area did not have Russian peacekeepers until the incident. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038368.html , https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038369.html , https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203369 Six POW soldiers returned home on Sunday. They were captured during the war. President Arayik thanked Putin for mediating the transfer. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038386.html Two more POWs returned on Monday. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038479.html Since the ceasefire, 1039 bodies of soldiers have been recovered from battlefields. The searches continue in the Shushi region, Martuni, Hadrut, Fizuli. 22 found today. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038417.html , https://factor.am/322564.html
felony investigations post-war / SIS launches an investigation to examine:
1) Reports of officers disobeying commands during the war, and desertion. 882 cases are being examined. Dozens have been charged. 2) Several civilian and military individuals intentionally spread alarming information to create panic among soldiers in the front lines (Vitalik's friend's incident, possibly), and claimed that the war was already decided, it was a conspiracy, and that it was pointless to fight. There are multiple felony cases regarding this. Investigation continues. 3) A felony case is launched against an officer who refused to do his duties in the southern part of Artsakh. (if this is General Movses Hakobyan, expect him to cry "political persecution" because he was the first one to give a press conference to create a narrative, a-la Dodi Gago). 4) Investigations over claims made by General Movses Hakobyan on November 19th. We're investigating a group of high-ranking officials for possibly violating protocols set by the Defense Ministry, which lead to reduced performance, which impacted the outcome of the war. We are also examining the reports, submitted by various political parties, to investigate the $5 billion offer that was made to Pashinyan by Aliyev (the offer Aliyev made to Serj and Pashinyan to give away 7 regions without a fight). 5) A felony investigation was launched [to investigate Pashinyan] after [former regime figure] Garnik Isagulyan claimed that Pashinyan took a $48 million bribe from Turkey and that his NSS chief Qyaramyan gave away 1400 passports to Azerbaijan, and helped Azeris to invade Hadrut. Isaghulyan was invited to SIS to provide evidence; he refused. The examination found no proof of these claims. A felony case was launched against Isagulyan himself for making false reports. 6) There were multiple reports in mid-November that Shushi was "sold" and an order was given for soldiers to deliberately retreat so Azeris could take it. This was investigated by SIS and NSS, courts were involved, reports from various media outlets are being investigated, including Arayik's leaked phone call and General Samvel Babayan's "post-mortem" interview. Additionally, there is an investigation of the embezzlement of property belonging to the army. Besides investigating these claims, we will also investigate their impact on the final outcome of the war. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038432.html
lawsuits / Pashinyan's son / army officer / Dmbo Gago
Volunteer soldier Mikael Mikaelyan is suing pro-Kocharyan blog "Politik" over an alleged defamation. The soldier says: Earlier I wrote that on October 1st I was yelling at deserting soldiers not to leave positions near Jabrayil. Then a similar story in Kubatlu; I wrote that I witnessed how Pashinyan's son Ashot was yelling at deserting soldiers; he was asking them to stay and help. My post received a lot of attention. It's clear that these two were separate incidents on separate dates, right? They [former regime] began calling me a liar because I could not have seen Pashinyan's son on October 1st because he was sent to the front lines on the 5th. They wrote an article "Yet another chatlakh who says everyone routed except Ashotik". https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/202933 Deputy Army General Chief of Staff Tiran Khachatryan is suing BHK MP Naira Zohrabyabn over an alleged defamation. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038342.html BHK chief Gago's casino "Onira Club" (Shangri La) was in legal trouble over alleged financial crimes. It also lost the license on July 9th over not paying the necessary fees. The casino is now suing the Finance Ministry to have its license back. https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203413
306 refugees returned to Artsakh on Sunday. 1.6km of roads were cleared of explosives, and 1 house was renovated. The peacekeepers have so far renovated 23 houses and rebuilt 8km of electric lines in Martakert. 35 patients were given medical care in Chartar settlement. https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038385.html

The Public Utility Commission decided to keep the electricity prices the same for low-income families, and 90% of those who consume less than 400 kW/h. The large-scale consumers will see AMD 3 increase. The rate will go into effect in February. (the nuclear plant will be closed for much of the year for the final big renovation; there were talks that it could impact prices) https://www.panarmenian.net/arm/news/288860/

We were going to take my dad off life support, but God had other plans- Your feel good 'miracles' do happen true story for the day
With everything going on, sounds like you all need a feel good story. So here is mine. About 3 weeks ago, my father suffered a brain stem stroke in front of the emergency department, while going to visit my mother who was just admitted that morning for internal bleeding. He was somehow able to drive to the hospital, park the car, turn off the ignition and come out of the car before he stumbled and fell. A Good Samaritan found him and he was admitted to the hospital with signs of stroke. So here I am, an only child, with both my parents in the hospital. F**k me, right? For almost 10 days my dad lay in the ICU. He was not progressing at all and was paralyzed on his right side. He was dependent on a ventilator, his blood pressure skyrocketed, he was put on insulin for his diabetes and was on an obscene amount of sedatives and pain killers. This man, who snuck me wine coolers before my high school dances, took lonely seniors on casino runs and never missed a birthday/graduation/holiday for any of his grandchildren was lying down in a hospital bed fighting for his life. The times he was barely conscious, he cried. This is a man, in all my 44 years of life, has never cried. His physician, at the time had written him off as being someone with a very 'low quality of life'. My father, an extremely vibrant man with a big mouth and an equally big heart, would likely never walk again and since he was not progressing, my mother and I made the very difficult decision to withdraw care in 48 hours. This was the most heartbreaking decision that I ever had to make. My kids saw me in the worst state of my life. My puppy (7 month old shihpoo) let me ugly cry into his fur. It was the worst week of my life. Fast forward 48 hours later. My mom and I went to say our final goodbyes to my dad. We ran into our priest in the hospital who had just blessed my dad the day before (as we jokingly said that the only way to get him to be catholic was for him to be on his death bed). He mentioned how alert my father was. When we walked in to his room, the nurse said that he was watching TV. I mean, WTF, how is this man, who was in a vegetable state like 48 hours ago, watching T.V? We walked in to find my dad fully awake, off all sedatives, able to squeeze our hands and able to communicate by nodding his head. This was certainly NOT a man who was ready to die. The nurse then explained that he had progressed in the past 24 hours and that we could 'change our mind' with withdrawing end of care. We asked my dad if he was willing to try getting off the ventilator. We asked him if he was willing to fight the long battle ahead. He nodded yes, and squeezed out hand. I have since reported the doctor that told us that my father had no quality of life as she did not update us on our progress, and I can't help to think if they would have continued the end of life process had we not been able to visit him that day. It's been two weeks since that life changing day in the ICU. My father has been progressing really well, able to fully move his left arm and leg, and occasionally, will stick his middle finger up at me and the nurse so at least we know he still has his sense off humour. He is completely off the ventilator and is undergoing physiotherapy. The doctors are amazed at his progress, stating that patients with his prognosis do not recover that quickly or, recover at all for that matter. We are not sure what the future holds for my father, but I am so grateful that he is alive. And to see him flip the bird to me, is priceless.

John Gilbride Jr.-murdered on September 7, 2002 in Maple Shade, New Jersey- “He's been raised by MOVE his whole life. I hope when he gets older, he'll ask questions. I want him to know that his father fought for him.”
The execution-style murder of former MOVE member, 34 year old John Gilbride Jr., in Maple Shade, New Jersey on September 27, 2002 remains unsolved. MOVE is a black liberation group founded in 1972 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by John Africa (born Vincent Leaphart) and Donald Glassey, a social worker student from the University of Pennsylvania. In a 2018 Guardian article about the group, MOVE's political views were described as "a strange fusion of black power and flower power which melded the revolutionary ideology of the Black Panthers with the nature- and animal-loving communalism of 1960s hippies.” John’s father, Jack, believes the organization has “blood on its hands” and had his son followed after he fled the movement. Alberta Africa (now Wonderlin), John’s ex-wife and the ex-wife of MOVE founder John Africa, claims that John is alive and “forgoing any contact with the son he was fighting for in court for a life of seclusion, courtesy of the U.S. government” surmising “maybe he went off the deep end or something and is hiding somewhere….he seemed like he was deeply involved in the government.” Jack stated that it is hurtful Alberta still makes those kinds of statements since he identified his son's body, attended his funeral, and buried his cremated remains saying he “could only wish…she knows more than anyone else that it isn't true." According to the Burlington County Prosecutor’s office, the case is still an open investigation. John, a baggage supervisor for U.S. Airways, was found dead inside his Ford Crown Victoria at 12:08 a.m. outside the Ryan's Run apartment complex in Maple Shade, New Jersey. The killer fired multiple bullets into John’s head and chest at close range from an automatic weapon after which the individual then disappeared into the highways adjacent to the apartment complex leaving behind John’s personal belongings. Police believe the killer knew his schedule because “they were there at the perfect time” noting they shot him just as he was coming home from work late at night and “the purpose was to take his life, nothing else.” John was scheduled to have his first unsupervised visit with his 6- year old son Zackary later the next day-a visit that Jack claims Alberta and other MOVE members had threatened to stop. After a Philadelphia judge decided that John should have unsupervised time with Zackary, MOVE vowed to fight the order and boarded up windows at its Philadelphia headquarters. They also held a rally at the Cherry Hill municipal building protesting the custody order saying the judge’s order was “an attempt to persecute the group and that Cherry Hill police were helping.” John had mentioned to his father that he felt his life was at risk and he knew “he was taking a big gamble.” Before Alberta married John, she was the widow of John Africa, founder and leader of the controversial radical group MOVE. John Africa and 5 other adults and 5 children died in May 1985 when Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on MOVE’s Osage Avenue rowhouse headquarters after a day-long standoff. Given the group's turbulent history, Alberta said police would have arrested MOVE members by now for John’s death if they had evidence saying “we are not murderers.” John first learned about MOVE as a student at Temple University in the late 1980s and later joined the organization. During one of John's visits from college, Jack suspected John was under a "new influence" as during a drive around the neighborhood, John mused "this is nothing...these big houses, this money, it doesn't mean anything; this surprised Jack as John's "goal in life had always been to become a millionaire and drive a Cadillac." In 1991, John announced he was going to live in MOVE's headquarters and seeing that they could nothing to dissuade him, Jack decided to "keep communication open and maintain whatever relationship John would allow them" using an 800 number to keep in contact. In the fall of 1992, John married Alberta, who was twice his age, against his family's wishes; the family, nonetheless, felt the wedding should be celebrated so they all went to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Philadelphia. Jack noted that "at no time did we sympathize with MOVE but in order to have a relationship with John, we did what we had to do." The name of the group (MOVE) is not an acronym and was chosen by John Africa “to say what they intended to do” as in "everything that's alive moves…if it didn't, it would be stagnant, dead"; as an example, when members greet each other they say "on the MOVE.". The group combined revolutionary ideology with animal rights and “advocated a return to a hunter-gatherer society” based on vegetarianism while remaining “opposed to science, medicine, and technology.” John’s followers changed their surnames to Africa to “show reverence to what they regarded as their mother continent.” John Africa and MOVE members lived in a communal house in the Powelton Village section of West Philadelphia. As activists, they staged bullhorn-amplified, profanity-laced demonstrations outside their homes against institutions that they opposed, such as zoos, circuses, “Three Mile Island”, “puppy mills” and police brutality. MOVE made compost piles of garbage and human waste in their yards which attracted rats and cockroaches that they refused to kill as they "considered it morally wrong to kill the vermin with pest control.” MOVE activities were scrutinized by law enforcement particularly under the administration of Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo, a former police commissioner known for hard stance against activist groups. Mayor Rizzo threatened in 1978 to dispatch his Police Department to MOVE's Powelton Village headquarters "to drag 'em out by the back of their necks." In 1978, complaints from neighbors about "profanity-laced tirades, arms stockpiling, garbage piled in the yard, and naked children" led to a standoff with members of the group who had not vacated their rowhouse headquarters; a resulting shootout took the life of a police officer and put nine MOVE members in prison for life. In 1981, MOVE relocated to a row house at 6221 Osage Avenue in the Cobbs Creek area of West Philadelphia. Neighbors again complained to the city about trash around their building, confrontations, and the obscene political messages by bullhorn. In 1985, the police obtained arrest warrants in 1985 charging four MOVE occupants with crimes including parole violations, contempt of court, illegal possession of firearms, and making terrorist threats; by now, Mayor Wilson Goode and police commissioner Gregore J. Sambor had classified the group as a terrorist organization. Residents of the area were evacuated from the neighborhood and told to return after 24 hours. On Monday, May 13, 1985, nearly five hundred police officers attempted to clear the building and execute the arrest warrants. Water and electricity were shut off in order to force MOVE members out of the house and Commissioner Sambor exhorted them to come out stating "Attention MOVE: This is America. You have to abide by the laws of the United States." When the MOVE members did not respond, the police decided to forcibly remove the members from the house. There was an armed standoff with police who lobbed tear gas canisters at the building. The MOVE members fired at them, and a gunfight with semi-automatic and automatic firearms ensued. Police went through over ten thousand rounds of ammunition when Commissioner Sambor decided the rowhouse could be bombed. From a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter, Philadelphia Police Department Lt. Frank Powell dropped two one-pound bombs made of FBI-supplied Tovex, a dynamite substitute, which targeted a fortified, bunker-like cubicle on the roof of the house. The resulting explosions ignited a fire from fuel for a gasoline-powered generator stored in the rooftop bunker. The fire spread and eventually destroyed 61 nearby houses. Officials said they feared that MOVE would shoot at the firefighters so they were held back. John Africa and 5 other adults and 5 children died. There were only two survivors; a child, Birdie Africa and an adult woman, Ramona Africa. John Gilbride eventually left the movement and filed for divorce from Alberta in 1999 which led to years of heated court battles over custody of Zackary; John also filed for bankruptcy. John had gone deep into debt paying for in-vitro fertility treatments as they were desperately trying to have a child. John had also grown frustrated with "MOVE's meddling in his marriage" which "staged hours-long interventions" whenever the couple argued. According to Jack, the timing of the murder and the custody dispute is “more than a coincidence.” Philadelphia Police Captain William Fisher, the head of the department’s civil rights division who knows the MOVE leaders well, stated that John’s murder “seemed like a textbook mob hit” and John had a gambling problem and other enemies as well; Jack dismisses Captain Fisher’s claims saying he did a "disservice to the investigation" and “was simply trying to ease the department’s relationship with MOVE”. Captain Fisher continues to doubt that MOVE was involved saying Jack wants to think that “MOVE did it because it solves his problem…I’m a parent too, and it’s an emotional thing.” He believes a professional gunman could have known of John’s problems with MOVE and could have timed the murder accordingly saying if MOVE was involved, they would not have “outsourced the job to someone outside their organization.” He acknowledges “there was a lot of rhetoric and everything else, but keep it in perspective, it's a child custody thing” saying MOVE's members "defend themselves when needed but do not go out and kill people." Captain Fisher suggested a trip to Las Vegas a few days before his death needed to be looked into further; Jack avers John went to Las Vegas for an Earth, Wind, and Fire concert. John also had a "secret..and brief" second marriage to Rosario Bienvenida Arias-a 24-year-old casino dealer from the Dominican Republic. They married in Maryland on April 25, 2002, but, according to the annulment initiated by John May 19,2002, "she used him and then fled the country." The marriage had not been "nullified by the time John died, so as his widow, Rosario-not Zack-collected death benefits." Others disagree such as former MOVE supporter Tony Allen who runs an anti-MOVE blog; he believes MOVE would never have put someone in their closest family circles at risk by killing John and would have given that task to a supporter saying “my hope is that there's people in and about MOVE whose consciences will eat away at them." Burlington County Prosecutor Robert Bernardi mentioned that MOVE members had been questioned in the investigation but did not comment further. In 2012 the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that John had told friends and family that he had recorded incriminating evidence in a notebook as "security against a hit" by MOVE. John said he had placed the notebook inside a locker for safekeeping. Jack confirmed one of John’s coworkers had contacted him and he tried to get police to search the locker but to no avail. At the time, Prosecutor Bernardi had no comment when pressed on the topic. It is unclear if the locker was ever searched. In a 2009 news article, Jack mentioned that he continues to speak with investigators every three weeks but acknowledged "they get tired of telling me there's nothing new." Zackary, at the time 13 years old, was “a happy home-schooled teen, active in swimming and fencing.” In the interview, Alberta admitted that her son continues to miss his father recalling how they “found a picture of his dad, and he just fell into me..he's a big boy, but he was in tears. She also says "the tears she cried for John were real in 2002" and she continues to feels his absence noting that she remarried after John’s death, “not out of love, but to give her son a stable home.” Jack said “his life has been anything but stable” since his son's death. His wife, Fran, died of cancer two years after his son was killed, and he speaks to Zack only once every three to six months. He knows that “wishing his son were still alive is pointless” so he focuses on resolving the case so Zack can come back into his life saying “he's been raised by MOVE his whole life. I hope when he gets older, he'll ask questions. I want him to know that his father fought for him." Anyone with information about John’s murder can contact the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office at 609-265- 7113. Questions: Do we know more about John's gambling debts and other enemies he supposedly had? There is much discussion on the MOVE angle but I really couldn't find much information on any other theories besides the statement made by Captain Fisher. Was John's locker ever searched?

The 61 destroyed homes were rebuilt with government funds ($35 milion) but the houses were eventually condemned since a potential carbon monoxide leak was found in the heating systems. In 2000, the city paid again to buy out the residents and move them. Ramona Africa, the only adult who came out of the house fire alive (along with 13-year old Birdie Africa), served seven years in prison for her role in the confrontation. As she stood outside MOVE's current house in 2013, she dismissed the notion that the home had code violations stating “they say it is a fire hazard but the only fire MOVE has ever been involved with is the one the city of Philadelphia set on May 13, 1985."
Since the casinos are closed and I am working (lol) from home I've decided to play online a little more. Goal: $25 deposit on Ignition to $1,200 buy end of month Start date: Monday April 6th End date: Sunday May 3rd Initial strategy: Min. buy-in on .02/.05 Zone cash out at $6.00-7.50. This is pretty aggressive with a $25 bankroll, but once we get to $100 and have 20 full buy-ins we can buy-in for the full $5. Shots at .10/.25 Zone ($12.50 buy-in) once we make it to $150. To prevent burn out/boredom I will also be playing single table tournaments once we get to $50. But not more than a $3 buy-in. Goal is to get to .10/.25 Zone as fast as possible in order to make it to $1,200 by end of month. First Update (4/6/20): Played Zone for about 8 hours this morning and crushed. Made quite a few hands and bluffs got through pretty consistently. Current balance $71.59 Second Update (4/6/20): Played a few more hours, took an early shot at .10/.25 ran into top boat versus trips but recovered nicely. Current Balance $115.50 Update (4/7/20): Didn't play much today (actually had to work) but had a rough time. Went down to $92 total bankroll at one point. Current Balance $104.76 Update (4/15/20) Kinda burnt myself out with the initial grind upto $100 and didn't play much over the weekend. Played for a few hours each day on monday and tuesday then played a solid 9 hour session today. Current Balance: $250.81 Update (5/1/20) Intentionally took a break for a few days and it turned into a few weeks. Played again last night after u/smor729 asked what my progress was yesterday. Ended up making a King high straight flush (my best hand ever) in 25NL. Current Balance $387.94
Another person asked this question and I commented this, but I felt others may want to see this for themselves. I’ll update this in the next hour as I have more ideas of the deleted scenes! Two from LTK! One is Bond and Pam arriving in Isthmus airport, where they see the group of Asian investors with Heller and Truman-Lodge. The respective characters tell the investors of their roles and it gives the audience a chance to find out their names and their roles within Sanchez’s circle. Another one, I would love to see the deleted scenes of Sanchez arriving at the Casino in Licence to Kill. The crowds cheering him, reporters asking him questions, the president getting less attention than Sanchez. It builds up the power of this great character. Bond is sat in his hotel room, drinking and with his holster round his shoulder. He turns over the lighter from Felix and Della, reminding us of his goal to avenge them. Another few scenes that aren’t integral but add to character and intrigue. Moonraker has some of the most closely-guarded deleted scenes. One showing Drax and his associates (not seen in the film) perhaps showing us that Drax is not a lone warrior in his plot. He is in the jungle control area, underneath an ignition room that Goodhead and Bond are trapped in. I always wondered why there was a desk in there before! Also, a scene on the space station had a glowing orb ball (similar to the globe in TSWLM) and a lot of couples walking around. Bond and Goodhead are desperately trying to go undercover and not be noticed. Really good stuff and not really relevant to plot but pretty! An fun but useless one is Bond in AVTAK with Chuck Lee (CIA). They are on a boat with a bunch of hippies and environmentalists protesting Bob Conley/Zorin’s oil pumping stations. Zorin looks out of the blinds near the window and laughs at them, as Bond gets the chance to come closer to Zorin’s operations. Interesting but no need for it to be in there! But, by far the most interesting one I would have loved to have seen. Most people complain about OHMSS not having enough action until two thirds of the way through. I understand as well, now we have a scene deleted that has not been released unlike LTK’s that shows Bond chasing a man on the rooftops of London. Bond and Bray are talking and realise that there is a mole in the College of Arms who must be relaying all the information of Bond’s disguise to Blofeld. Bond chases him and they begin to race along the rooftops. Apparently, there is quite a bit of action to go alongside this. The scene culminates in the two running into the underground train stations of London, where Bond fights with the mole. He is eventually killed after he falls onto the train tracks. To cover up this catastrophe on home soil, the government and MI6 place dead bodies on the tracks to make it seem like a train crash and derail the train. The scene is alluded to when Campbell is reading a paper with the headline about the crash, as Bond is coming off the train to meet Bunt.
The results are in for Match 2... Location - Washington, DC: It had been quite some time since Pengolo had seen many of the Rascals. Since their home–however involuntary as it may have been–had been destroyed, they had gone their separate ways. Nowhere Man had retreated to his commune; Take had long distanced themselves; and Tunde had joined an alliance with other UU players. With this newfound freedom, Hive returned home and resumed his work with the Red Cross. It was in his nature to help those when and where he could. And it was for that reason that his mind kept straying back to the fall of La Villa and all those who had been left behind. Hive had managed to convince Lucas not to dive back in for them with the same reasoning his Stands had given him: those still within would be safe as the escapees regrouped. Hive and Lucas had kept in contact since then, eyes to the day when they would reconvene to finish the fight. His dear Marcella would have to wait, just a little longer. He perked up as he heard the door ring. Lucas hadn’t mentioned he would be around any time soon… he’d said he’d been across the country the other day. He smiled warmly. Imagine his surprise it was another of his friends! “Tunde!?” Sure enough, the woman was standing on his doorstep, donning a head wrap and sunglasses which she lowered to wink at him. “You sound surprised.” “Well, yeah!” Hive wiped the shock off his face and beamed at her. Tunde had given him no contact info before leaving, but evidently still having kept tabs on him. But when he opened the door wider so that she could enter, she shook her head, staying on the threshold. Hive frowned. “Can’t stay for long?” Tunde nodded. “Unfortunately not, but at least I bring a gift.” At this, the space behind Tunde warped and distorted, ｢AmbitionZ｣ shimmering into view. Hive recognized the Stand from its late user’s sojourn in La Villa, but even still...he lifted his eyepatch. His new friend, ｢Solid State Scouter｣’s reticle focusing on the Stand leering before him. Even in the glimpse he got before he had to shut his eye and put back on his patch, he could tell much had changed about it. Hive looked at her with some suspicion. “Where did you find ｢AmbitionZ｣?” “I had to run some errands in Egypt. Share some notes, reconnect with some old friends, I thought you two might be able to get along.” ｢AmbitionZ｣ floated over to Hive, chittering happily to itself all the while, looking over him hungrily. Seemingly mollified, he could feel the click of it attaching to him, binding to his soul. Could feel the slow drain of its weight on his flesh, as it began to be eaten away…such a wonderful feeling. He stroked over his arm. This Stand…｢AmbitionZ｣...he’d have to make himself the best meal he could be for his new friend. Hive understood that ｢AmbitionZ｣ saw itself as a weapon, something aimless and destructive, but he was so familiar with aimless. He knew his friend was far from the death machine that others may have seen it as. But, if it were a weapon, he sheathed it, dispelling the Stand… for now. He could properly introduce it to the others later. He looked up at Tunde, only to see her walking back into the night. “Hey, wait up!” He called, extending a hand. She turned a bit, a smirk on her face. “I’ll see you soon, Pengolo. But I still have matters to attend to first. You do too.” She waved. “I’ll see you sometime.” Tunde hummed to herself, paging through her trusty little book. So many labs, so many people, so much material… ah, this was a really wonderful day. A breakthrough. A chance to set the wheels turning, to put her little plan into motion. Maybe someone would even come after her soon…Schioppo? Gioia? Kaito? She smiled, holding the pages to her chest. Oh…all of them were so wonderful…any of them would be. Hadrian, that dear boy, was surely living his life as well. She would have to look into him later…. True warmth blossomed in her. Her life really was a blessed one. Her eyes had been opened, and this sight…she wouldn’t turn down this path for anything. The winner is Tunde Ó Santos, with a score of 63 to Hadrian Moore’s 55!

Tunde broke away for the goalline with a 4-1 lead and escaped the curse for a 7-3 victory!
With that, we must now sadly bid goodbye to Team Neptune, Ocean’s 11, the fifth team to be eliminated from Tournament 4. They came out swinging from the very first match, and while they didn’t often make the top of many perceived rankings, no one could deny the impact they had, and they clearly had what it took to stick around into the quarterfinals. Let’s take a moment to remember…
Location - Somewhere in California: Schioppo Fucile wasn’t the only Fairy Feller anxious and brooding during the first weeks of 2021, worried about how he’d be able to take down one of the most dangerous women in the world, a direct threat to those he cared about. Caring about people was not something Ric Hawks considered a strong suit, and in some ways that was an advantage. Getting too worked up about his fears for Melanzane and the Fellers would play right into the Iron Rooster’s ability. But it didn’t mean he didn’t care at all. Far from it. The departure of Stefan had left a hole somewhere Ric hadn’t known existed. All of this passed through his head as he lay awake in the dark of his motel room. He’d poured the last year of his time and income into Urban Uprising and then XPLICIT, with nothing to show for it. Sure, Kris, Schioppo, and especially Gioia had succeeded in taking down Lyte thanks in no small part to his own research, but… Ric’s thoughts were interrupted by the creak of a door and a beam of light from the hallway. The Arancinis stepped inside the room Melanzane and Ric were sharing, moving quietly to avoid disturbing him. “Hey,” Ric said gruffly. No point in them trying not to wake him when there was no chance he’d get any sleep tonight anyway. “Ah, did we wake you?” Melanzane asked. Ric sat up and shook his head. “No. Can’t sleep anyway.” “I am sorry to hear that, my friend. What’s bothering you?” Ric clicked on the bedside lamp and shot the ballerino a look. “Guess.” “Feeling powerless in the face of Saint Cecilia?” Melanzane mused. “I must admit I can relate. There is little I can do anymore without danger, but such is the way of things. We must be strong, yes?” Ric grunted in noncommittal agreement. Gioia watched the two men silently, her own worries mounting. Ric, her father, and her boyfriend were all walking into dangerous confrontations, and everyone seemed too afraid to even communicate with each other. Noriko and Kris were both pulling double-duty as the voices of reason and positivity, fine lines for the bus driver and traceur to walk. “We can’t worry about her yet anyway,” she found herself saying. “She’s been keeping her head down all year, and there’s plenty to clean up closer to home.” Ric looked up. “Oh yeah?” “Remember when we were with La Horde?” Gioia asked. “What the guys from Ocean’s 11 said, what they found about the Black Beetles. Selleck and his intern might be dead, but there’s still XPLICIT out there. Hadrian made it all the way through their top Stand to get this information.” “We already have a mission, Gioia,” Ric growled. “Schioppo’s already chasing a vendetta, and we can’t afford anyone else running off chasing sidequests.” “Sidequests?” Gioia chuckled sadly. “You’re starting to sound like Stefan.” “He has a point, though,” Melanzane noted. Gioia sighed, straightening her back and looking Ric and her father in the eye, each in turn. “It’s more than just Cecilia. I’m not going to let anything go half finished.” Location - Somewhere outside Sacramento, California: Clear skies and a nice, lazy morning, a man in a white suit with black floral designs reclined in a lawn chair on his porch and idly strummed on a banjo. Despite being a capo of a massive gang, a lone Lennon played for an audience of plants rather than people, dulcet chords floating out over the orchard. All the Beetles’ warehouses were changed out, the shipping routes rerouted, and more to ensure others couldn’t get their hands on their product. Instead, the gang’s supplies of XPLICIT were being recalled, all stores sending it to a location. All stores except one: Lennon’s pride and joy, this farm and his Stand ability had allowed him to maintain the stream of XPLICIT that they had, but all that was coming to an end too. XPLICIT wasn’t worth the hassle, before it was easy to measure out the product to prevent rampant Stand manifestation, but now that the cat was out of the bag, even just holding it was a liability. Lennon had tried to keep his cash crop, even trying to create a hybrid to match its drug quality without the side effects. However, after countless debates with Carter, he ultimately agreed to burn this bridge and move on with the rest of their operations. At least the shipping lines they had set up were worth something. SNAP! The pick broke after days of use. Lennon frowned, before slipping off his ring. He pinched it between his fingers and, after a few picks and plucks to accustom himself to its weight and feel, resumed strumming. Even if the gang didn’t have much use for XPLICIT, others still did. And so, Lennon waited. He didn’t need to waste any manpower to take care of the farm, sooner or later there should be a Stand user or two coming. All Lennon had to do was wait. Location - San Francisco, California: Kaito basked in the air of a sunny Californian winter morning. Not a flake of snow to be found, just a smile on his face, and a train ticket to Sacramento in his hand. The once-member of the Civil Disobedients, now disbanded, found himself walking with a purpose towards the train station. It really felt like he had turned over a new leaf. He was able to start putting the last few months behind him, and continue doing his own thing… which he had yet to decide what it would be. Never mind a bout of teenage indecision; for Kaito, life was looking up. He had even begun reconnecting with another former Civil Disobedients member, Djimon! As the young brewmaster had angrily departed from the team during a stroke of poor luck, he thought he had ruined that particular relationship forever. But when he had accepted the call to join the Uncivil Umbra, there he found a familiar face in Djimon, and a mutual desire to rekindle the old friendship. Making his way to the designated platform, he found himself now pondering the disbandment of Uncivil Umbra. It had only been hours, maybe a day or two at the most, but the level of purpose and comradery he had felt while he had been there was unmatched. He had set out to help collapse Lyte, and had succeeded in his task. Arrests were made, perhaps he had found a little too much fun in some particular destruction, but with the danger thwarted, he was able to just have fun with his Stand, act his age again! On the horizon, a train sped towards the station, and as it pulled beside the platform, creaking to a halt, over the PA, a voice sounded. “Now boarding for Sacramento.” Finding a seat onboard, Kaito shoved his ticket into his pocket, staring out the window as he recalled what he had set out to do. He had heard bits and pieces about a certain vineyard through the grapevine—no pun intended. It was run by the Black Beetles, and inexplicably, the operation was tied to XPLICIT production. If Kaito could have a hand in shutting it down, he’d do it. Location - Somewhere outside Sacramento, California: Kaito hopped out of the car at the given address, the taxi peeling away behind him. He looked around at the quaint entrance, the grass and shrubs scattered around the property neatly manicured. Kaito rubbed his fingers idly over the leaves in a shrub shaped in a way he had never seen before. For the supposed drug stockpile of a gang, the villa was oddly serene, quiet. No one and nothing in sight as he looked around. He had been expecting something else, although he couldn’t quite put what that was into words. Maybe some beaten up, foreclosed hideout? Blood splatters on the dirt, “No Trespassing” signs on a barbed wire fence? Soon, however, his eyes fell upon a person walking deeper into the property. “Hey!” The woman turned to face him, her guarded expression softening to one of recognition. A young man with whom her teammates had become very acquainted, and whose teammate she had the utmost respect for. Gioia waved out to him. “You must be Kaito. My name is Gioia Arancini. I’m a friend of Kris and Noriko’s.” “Oh!” Kaito straightened out, smiling warmly and waving likewise. “Yeah, that’s me! Nice to finally meet you, Gioia.” Chuckling, he continued. “Fairy Fellers, what’s with me and running into you over and over again? Without you guys, I’m not sure I would’ve been able to take on that Fork-head!” Gioia blinked, “Who?” Kaito flushed slightly, “Don’t worry about it! It’s uh—he’s off doing his own thing I think, don’t worry about it!” In recovery, he gestured up the winding dirt road that led to the side of the property. “Let’s see what’s up, c’mon!” The walk up the long path was fairly quiet, no signs of danger to be found. For a man that could control plants, it didn’t seem like any here would be too capable of harming anybody. Thornless white roses, a bed of 10 leafed clovers, a tree growing multiple different species of apples, an odorless rafflesia and other rare or mildly interesting plants. As they continued walking they began to hear...a banjo playing in the distance? The performer could just barely be made out now: a man in a white suit with floral patterns, it seemed that one of the leaders of the Black Beetles was sitting right in front of them, “Hello there,” Lennon waved to them as they approached, lazily rocking in a chair on the porch. “How’d you guys like my collection? Pretty neat, ain’t it?” Kaito smirked, and broke into a sprint, ｢Fujisawa Loser｣ summoned behind him. “KANPAI!” He yelled out, a tendril of booze prepped to slam down on the front steps. Lennon blinked, and tossed a black rose from his suit in his direction. The rose floated down and burst into a small cloud. Kaito stumbled, eyes watering. “ Ah sh… aah…..aaah….. Aachu..aachu!” He began to sneeze uncontrollably, falling to the ground clutching his stomach as it became more and more difficult to breathe, vision swimming as his eyes kept watering. “Kaito!” Gioia yelled, reading herself into a sprinting position as well— “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” Lennon chimed in, getting Gioia to pause slightly. “There’s still pollen hanging in the air. Besides, I just wanted to talk to you two. Nothing more.” Kaito’s sneezing began to subside, and he started taking deep breaths, gasping as if he had just been drowned and resurfaced. “...Now, you two are here which means you should know how us Black Beetles work. What we’re doing.” Lennon raised his right hand and flashed a peculiar looking ring. “Now I promise you what I’m telling you is true. The Black Beetles are getting out of the XPLICIT business. Everything has been recalled or is being destroyed at this moment. Behind this house is my XPLICIT farm, I already cut their water supply and mostly killed the trees. I just need some people to help me break and toss them away.” Lennon extended his hand to the two of them, “Now that’s where you two could give me a hand.” Kaito and Gioia look to each other. Kaito laughed. “So you want people more inclined to kick your ass to do your work for you? Maybe the rest of the gang is busy, huh?” He brushed the stubble on his chin. “You’re totally using us, right?” “Does it matter?” Lennon stated. “You’re getting what you wanted, for free, and I’m prepared to give you something for the effort. I do have some information you guys may be interested, and you did come all this way to make sure the XPLICIT is gone, right?” Lennon stood up, “The choice is yours. You can leave, break the trees yourselves...” Lennon walked up to the door. “Or you could try and fight me. I wouldn’t recommend it. Talk to me in the greenhouse behind the house once the deed is done.” With that, he went inside and closed the door. Gioia and Kaito stared at the house, and glanced to each other awkwardly. There was absolutely no way that the house wasn’t trapped extensively. “This is odd,” Gioia said simply. “You’re right in that we’re being used.” “Yeah,” Kaito added. “I wanted to try a little fighting before I did what I came here to do, but….” “But it would be near suicide to go in without extensive preparations of our own. Very likely fireproofed as well.” Kaito shrugged. “Well, anyways!” He punched his fist. “I’mma go ahead and get started.” Gioia quirked an eyebrow. “Even though we’re being used?” Kaito scoffed. “So what, people have been using me for years. I don’t care, he gets something out of it and I get a good time. Win win.” He began walking to the back, everything he wanted to say said. Gioia sighed, but she could see his point. She didn’t want to leave the existence of this orchard to continue, and she’d prefer to ensure this herself. Besides that, the information Lennon could give was tantalizing. To have any advantage going forward to her next battle…. She turned away hesitantly from the house and followed Kaito, bemused. When the two walked around to the back, a vast orchard open up before them, row upon row upon row of trees stretching out into the distance. Yet, rather than bearing fruit, strange pods hung from their branches, their contents apparent to both. “Hey, Gioia,” Kaito piped up, Gioia turning to face him in acknowledgement. “You remember that time at the swamp, yeah?” “Yes...what about it?” “You got us pretty good back there, but I’m running it back,” Kaito smirked. “There’s a lot of trees we gotta smash, so we may as well make this fun. Whoever breaks more of them wins?” He offered her his hand. Gioia chuckled softly. Her reputation had preceded her, and if this “sidequest” could include a friendly competition, there was little reason to decline. She placed her hand into his, shaking it firmly. “Very well. You’re on, Kaito.” Kaito squeezed her hand with an enthusiastic grin, shaking it wildly. The buildup to the starting gun always got his blood pumping. He had this competition in the bag. What were a few wimpy trees compared to a raging fire, anyway? Bringing his hand back to his side, he gave Gioia one last glance, both readying themselves to a starting position. “Three…” began Kaito. “Two…” “GO!” Shouted Gioia with a laugh, running off into the orchard, a flustered Kaito following suit, yelling after her. “You didn’t ‘open the game’!” Location: Lennon’s XPLICIT farm in Sacramento, CA. In front of you, arranged into a square are four square plots of Lennon’s trees, each about an acre big (about 60 x 60 meters each) with trees bearing pod-fruit structures containing unprocessed XPLICIT. Separating the orchard into these quadrants are dirt paths, 4 meters wide. There are about 5 meters in between the rows of trees and each column contains 30 trees spaced around 2 meters apart. This means each acre contains 360 trees for 1440 trees total. Each tree is only around 2 meters tall, but are fairly durable for their size at around C Durability and well rooted. Given the spacing of the trees, fires wouldn’t be able to jump or spread too easily and it is impossible for them to spread across different rows from their position. Behind the players is a large tool shed and every 20 meters around the edges of the field are industrial sized plant waste containers. The tool shed has everything from chainsaws to shovels to pesticide and anything else a farm or gardener may need. On the opposite side of the area, across the field from the players is a vehicle shed with farming vehicles such as tractors, motorized lifts, plows, cultivators, etc. Goal: Destroy more trees than your opponent! Attacking your opponent would violate the competition you’ve set for yourself and result in an immediate loss, but you can mess with them. Additional Information: Lennon has left a note saying “Help yourself” on the tool shed door and you are free to take whatever you want from inside to start off the match with or take during the match. Lennon has also made the same note on the vehicle shed and the keys to the vehicles are in their ignition. Lennon doesn’t care whatever method you use to get rid of trees as long as the job is done. Since the XPLICIT is in its unprocessed form, trying to use it has no effect beyond tasting really bad.
“It’s the second tree from the right. Memorize it. Make sure you don’t forget that spot.” If you’re gonna do this job, it better be done thoroughly. Destroy trees from as large an area as possible over the course of this match!
“Shit, I gotta find it...there should be some sodium chlorate here!” This is your golden ticket to do some demolition, but you’re here to have fun too. Mix things up and use as many different ways for destruction as you can!

Decided to get a break from gaming and give some random short feedbacks.
Sacred Grove's theme
Even though Pylons and Storage tanks are probably the clearest solution, I am a bit disappointed with how it feels and looks. It could all be simulated with natural substitutes (ivy, willow, cactus) for more natural experience.
Sacred Grove's functionality
I am not gonna write another tirade about naked king. Focusing on current mechanics:
Seeds could instantly appear in Seeds' Stockpile if place is available (floating text indication only) upon map encounter.
More precise UI about harvesting possibility and lacking lifeforce (upon map encounter). Allowing smoother experience. (patch is adding fully grown/partially)
Heart of the Sacred Grove could require 20/40/60/80/100/100... maps. Have mercy for casuals in the future.
Metamorph's collectible organs
Two options, remove them entirely (voiding elements of leagues is fine!) or allow to merge metamorph in laboratory from any combination of organs (some rewards' rebalance like: +10% reward per unique organ type).
Freebies
By freebies I mean rewards introduced in leagues that grants something over the top with no or almost no drawback.
Oil anointment should allow allocating Notable, not grant it.
I wouldn't mind Catalysts to be removed or limited to crafting. Power creep is not funny in the longer run.
Harvest Jewel Implicits - I believe GGG noticed issue with freebies, I was like "of course, another league, another freebie" when they announced it, but their power creep level is reasonable and makes me wonder if GGG is gonna shift from immunities to chance to avoid.
Belt enchantments - reasonable, though I don't know if lab needed another enchant type.
New Labyrinths
New offerings are one thing that almost for sure will go core, becoming more and more common as leagues' rewards. Funnily 83lvl Lab was the closest thing to new gameplay we received in this league. Had fun, Izaro is scary, he slams quickly, recommended. I would probably sit there entire day of good lab layout if the offerings' prices were more reasonable. GGG continues policy of adding increased amount of enchants and divine font usages. What I would propose is merging the rewards into one. Increased rewards from chests should be natural for increased difficulty, option to enchant belt isn't something amazing to be a stand-alone reward, and 6 additional usages could be reduced to 3. Splitting them feels not right (is it for challenge only?).
Cluster Jewels
There are extremely problematic game mechanic, they have the power to trivialize skill tree or be completely redundant. Feels like GGG will have to balance them every league. I thought they will make "adds # passive skills" blessable, GGG topped it with granted Jewels' sockets.
maybe limit large to 1, medium to 2, small to 4?
add normal jewel socket to small clusters?
remove large cluster jewels?
Waiting for update.
Poison immunity
GGG set a great direction with removing poison immunity (/unaffected by) from Pantheon and Cluster Notable. Poison in opposite to Chill, Shock, and Ignite, isn't secondary effect and shouldn't be so easily neglected. However devs forget about:
Flasks: make it reduce poison damage by x% and grant immunity to wither.
Chaos Inoculation: devs mention from time to time how Chaos Immunity is tying their hands and I believe it's time to remove it from game. "Maximum Life becomes 1, Chaos Damage cannot bypass energy shield, +x% chaos resistance, +y% energy shield, Damage over Time do not prevent recharging energy shield". Chaos resistance + energy shield can be added as small passives behind the keystone.
Harvest Crafting
Introducing consumables (flasks' increased charges) - the closest things to consumables were scarabs that are limited to maps. Awkward feeling about that, PoE's flasks were great improvement to Diablo II's system. I hope this concept will be not further expanded. (Just imagine 2030 guide to end-game boss Uber Zana - we consume our Peniciline for 60s immunity against miasma, followed by quickly using Chocolate Cake for +5% movement speed for 30s and we sacrifice the goat for lucky dodge outcomes for next 20s, make sure you have active Blessing of Innocence, which will prevent XP loss on death...) But seriously, I mention it, because it is something truely new, not because it is imbalanced or powerful.
Shuffling elemental resistances - as a person who simply do not craft, I like this one the most, my trade searches were greatly trivialized by it. It also allows to "divine" the modifier.
Trivialized chroming, various casinos (fossils' one you can't loose, 0-2x div cards is for brave), augmenting, removing mods... Many useful things, even more filler rewards. As a person who do not craft... I still do not craft. Yet, I believe that league is enjoyable, but is not gonna be missed. For SSF introduce vendor recipes to roll fragments (Shaper, Elder, UElder, +1c). Shaper and Elder one could be unlocked upon defeating first ShapeElder. Would be a nice gesture.
Harvest going Core
I would go with classic 10%... Great opportunity to void a league. Unique Heart of the Grove map (with three 4-tier bosses, defeating them unlocks final boss, just like Shaper fight) to preserve Harvest uniques and that's it.
Harvest Challenges (feeling)
Ignoring classic retention method (bugged Harvest encounters VI - fixed in patch thankfully), the challenges become more and more time-consuming? Reading "Newbie analysis", author was praising GGG for "better"/more accessible challenges, but I have the opposite feeling. What about you? Many challenges are gated behind harvest crafting RNG, which consumes enormous amount of time. I got 0 winged scarabs, and looking at current prices, this particular challenge seems out of the reach for common folk. Even simpler challenges are unintuitive and trade-gated (div cards).
Unveiling
At last, I would like to thank everyone who unveils and provides crafting service, so others don't have to unveil.
i tried to overdose and die March 1 b4 Covid19. I wish i had done it.
Hey everyone, I am making this thread to try to keep it updated as a motivation to keep living. I tried to overdose on March 1st big time. I wish i would have died now because of covid 19. I started doing really good for three years at online poker after 2 years of struggling alot at it. Then in August of last year a few unlucky things happened. I was keeping a ton of money on Ignition poker (( 50,000$)) because my home state was having a hard time deciding whether they were going to cover a very unfair 7,500$ medical bill that i got from when i fainted at the poker table. I had no business paying that bill. So i was keeping that money on the poker website to make myself look poor. The government cant see the money once its on the website. American online poker websites are offshore because the USA is shadily the last country besides Austrailia to shadily keep online poker illegal. I got sick from a bad cold in August, and i was out of work for a week. I tried adderol for the first time and i took too much. I freaked out on it extra bad because i grew up with schizophrenia from pee shyness and from kids and a few girls telling me i was gay and i had bi polar disorder. I lost 50,000$ at online blackjack in one night. I never ever gamble like this. Im a 2-5 player and a 30$ to 50$ average buyin player. So i dont even gamble at high stakes much. Then 2 weeks after it happened... my ex girlfriend...the girl who i thought i would marry...she messaged me saying she wanted to try to date again. We dated for 8 months when I lived in Brazil. Online poker is legal and tax free there. It would have worked out the first time between us, but I had toxic mold infection and i didnt know i had it. So i left to go back home when dating her the 1st time because I thought i was just burnt out as i was still learning the local language. (( not many speak english down here)) So i get back down here this time with like 25,000 $$ left and this girl who was perfect the first time we dated....she was an absolute train wreck this time around....She demanded very expensive gifts for her birthday....and then after i got them for her....she said we were not dating yet. I broke up with her a couple weeks later. I should have left Brazil right after that...but i had bought a car and i figured what the hell Online poker is tax free here...i just turned 29.... ive never had a job besides poker...my odds of finding a wife/// partner might be better here. But it just has not worked out. Ive got like 5,000$ left. I blew 4000$ back at Blackjack chasing losses, i blew 4000$ back on her and a few hookers, i blew through 4000$ on the car....ive made money at poker most months here but just not that much money. And now Covid 19 has hit. I think suicide is just a better answer sadly. Nobody is going to hire me until at least May 2021 when a vaccine is available. I have been doing online poker and casino poker since i was 22, so i have never had a regular job. I do not want to move back in with my mom as its dangerous. She refuses to switch jobs. Shes older and works at a nursing home. I do not like her anyways. I do not get along with my brother, and i hate most of my family because of childhood abuse. I have never made any real friends or girlfriends really, and i think i might be gay. Sorry for the long post. I feel like usa therapy has let me down big time but alot of it is my fault. The USA is illegally keeping online poker illegal. 10 states have recognized this and they have legalized it within their own state at least. But still. I have double schizophrenia for undisclosed reasons these days....my therapist should have kept in touch with me. Sorry Please keep me and all others struggling in your prayers during these once in a 100 year difficult times!
I wanted to recount my recent experience with Ignition casino with ya'll. Edit: Update - I called cs back after work and they are unwilling to elaborate on how they found that I was responsible for the fraudulent activity. I specifically asked what they found in their systems that indicated I was at fault and the only reply was “you should take responsibility for your account and we do not share the specifics of how we came to any conclusions” TLDR; My ignition account was cleared out by a round of blackjack that I didn't play; Ignition's shady customer service and "financial services division" are holding me accountable and not allowing me to log back into the account. As filthy casual fish, i enjoy playing online microstakes. I had an ignition account for about 3-4 weeks; Over that time, up until yesterday (5/29) I took my $50 buy in and managed to get ahead to about $180 give or take. I was focusing on learning to play position better and it paid off!! I sat down and played some jackpot sng's but mainly stuck with the $.25/$.50 cash games around 11 am. While i was waiting for a tourney to start, i played a few rolls of Craps. Being up, i figured it would be fun, Lost $20 and had enough. That was the extent of my casino game play. I log back in around 10p local time and find my account is at a $0 balance. I logged off and back on thinking maybe there was a bug or a network issue but same result. I look through the transaction history and see a single game of blackjack took all my money; at 6:38 pm. My only computer was off and no one has access to my accounts. No other online accounts of mine have been compromised, that i'm aware of. I contact the CS chat service immediately, They lock my account and tell me to call their CS line ((855)-370-0600); I do, and authenticate with the CS rep, as soon as i do she claims that she cant' hear me....funny how she paused in her conversation whenever i said "I'm fairly certain you can still hear me". We disconnect, so i call back...same CS rep's voice, new name (Jessica this time). She runs through the auth stuff quickly then says she needs to transfer me to financial services. After being on hold for a minute...the same CS reps voice now claiming to be Joan runs me through the auth stuff. Now....it's possible i lack the ability to differentiate between multiple voices but this seemed unlikely. She confirms the account is locked and they'll review it for a final decision within 48 hours. Mind you, i'm able to change my password and log back in after this call. Ironically, to test my theory of there only being one CS rep, i called back several times using google's phone features in gmail; My GF agreed that the person on the phone sounded the same each time while giving a different name. I receive this email this morning "Hello, Thank you for contacting us regarding your issue. After conducting a thorough review of your account, we have deemed you responsible for the recent activity. This decision was made after careful consideration of all the facts and we judge this decision to be final. Regards, Ignition Financial Services" Now, when i try to login, i'm presented with the same message above and unable to login. I have no way of knowing for sure, but my impression is that the casino took my balance and played blackjack with it in an effort to clear out my account. I believe i cannot log in anymore to prevent reviewing financial documents. Then again, I have no evidence that they behave this way. That being said, i'm not the first one to have this complaint. I find it very confusing that i'm not even encouraged to re-hydrate my account but instead completely blocked from logging in at all. My question to ya'll. Should i call my local gaming commission? will it matter one iota? Or just chalk up the $50 to "bad luck" and move on without ever touching Bovada, Ignition or whoever else they present themselves as. I'm inclined to the latter.
Since the last update, the casino is screwed. I usually do ok at poker, then donk it off at Tri-Card poker or Blackjack. Lately, it will take seven-eight attempts just to open the game (getting blank screens, or "invalid action" error messages) and then, if I DO get to play, more often than not, getting a "disconnected by administrator" error message on the third hand (every time, it's the third hand). It's so tilting, BUT - I'm not spewing all my winnings in a ten minute casino binge. Thank you, Ignition!!!! I may actually get to cash out now!

This update is a potpourri of tweaks, bug fixes, and new content. So let's get to it!
Gardening Almanac
Starting in this update, different gardens across the world will get daily Gardening bonuses. There are different bonuses each day; for example, today there might be a bonus to growing carrots in Gretchen's garden in Serbule Hills, and tomorrow there might be a bonus for growing daisies in Sun Vale. Gardeners who want to take advantage of these bonuses can check out the new Gardening Almanac in Serbule, Rahu, and the Casino. This book can tell you about current and upcoming Gardening bonuses. The Serbule almanac is in the windmill. Since it's possible for these gardening events to happen in Kur or Gazluk, we've added locations in those areas where it's possible to grow vegetables. However, while it's now TECHNICALLY possible, most players will run into practical difficulties due to the climate. Not all Gardening events are equally useful!
Shop Search Upgrade
You can now use the shop-search golems to search for equipment or augments that meet certain requirements. Just click the appropriate option on the golem's sidebar menu to begin. You can search by slot, skill, rarity, and level range. This feature involved a lot of new code and could have bugs, so report them if you see them!
War Caches
- We've added six more War Cache quests in this update. These are a bit harder than the earlier ones. (But are they too hard? If so, let us know!) - The rewards from spending "Sir Johnson Bucks" were previously guaranteed to be Epic (4-power) items. That ended up being too good for the work involved; new reward items are now Exceptional (3-power) with a chance for higher-rarity items.
Gazluk Keep
Gazluk Keep continues to be our testing ground for high-level group content. The following tweaks have been made in this update: - Bosses have significantly improved chances of rare-drop items. Chances of finding Exceptional (3-power) items are 2-4x higher, and chances of Epic (4-power) items and Legendary (5-power) items are about double. (The exact amount of change varies per boss.) - Certain types of orcs now have some Accuracy in their attacks, allowing them to overcome player Evasion. Affected orcs indicate this in their monster info (when selected). NOTE: this change also happens to affect a few monsters outside of Gazluk: "Orcish Thaumaturges" anywhere in the world now have Accuracy. Give them a pat on the back for powering up. (Even though it may be only temporary.) - Bug fix: Stolen War Golem eventually stops calling for backup after its enemies flee or are killed.
Live Events
We've added some major new tools for admin-run live events. We're continuing to improve the design of live events based on your feedback, so please continue to give feedback after any live event you participate in! Thanks!
Unarmed Skill Changes
Unarmed is the oldest skill (its internal ID is #1) and it has seen many permutations. It is intended to be a strongly defensive skill with a lot of control abilities, moderate damage potential, and powerful combos. In a previous update we accidentally created a scenario where it was possible to use the skill's Epic Attack every 15 seconds, which added a huge amount of damage potential. As usual, we left it alone for a while to see what the ramifications were (lots of times, balance errors end up working out fine), but in this case it's obvious that this is not going to be sustainable into future higher levels, and it gets more overpowered every time we add a way to buff Epic Attacks. So we've nerfed the treasure effect responsible. We're also working on making percentage-based mitigation treasure scale better between low and high levels, and Unarmed is the first skill to see those changes. Previously, low-level mitigation treasure was very weak (e.g. "3% of the physical damage you take is mitigated"), then it scaled to the original target power-level around level 50, and then kept going higher after that. Our plan for percentage mitigation now is that it will start off much stronger and cap out around level 50 or 60, and we're adding other effects to the treasure that can continue to scale past that level. The Unarmed skill was created before Evasion existed, but it's a natural fit for the skill, so we've added a bit of Evasion to the treasure effects. In addition, the game engine can now support "side-effects" of Evading, and Unarmed is the first recipient of these effects. (For instance, one treasure effect is "Any time you Evade an attack, your next attack deals +133 damage".) As with any new tech, bugs are possible; please report them! We've also tweaked most of the meditation combos. Those changes aren't documented individually here because it's too spammy, but in general the combo changes came in two flavors: boosts to damage, and replacing "Punch" steps with "Any Melee" steps. Some other changes were made to add more synergy with other Trauma-damage skills. Ability Changes: - Mamba Strike: This ability has changed from a Crushing attack to a Trauma attack that deals direct health damage. When the target's armor is low (below 33%), it now deals +33% immediate Trauma damage, instead of adding a Trauma damage-over-time effect. Reuse timer lowered from 8 sec to 6 sec. - Slashing Strike and Claw Barrage: We updated ability descriptions to mention that being an empty-handed animal with claws is sufficient to activate the ability. (The behavior is unchanged, it was just not well-documented. Currently only werewolves have claws.) Treasure Changes: - "Bruising Blow deals +28% damage and hastens the current reuse timer of Bodyslam by 10 seconds" => Now hastens by 5 seconds. (This is the big nerf.) - "Headbutt deals +20% damage and conjures a magical field that mitigates 20% of all physical damage you take for 10 seconds (or until 200 damage is mitigated)" => Now mitigates 15% for 10 seconds or until 400 damage is mitigated. All levels now mitigate 15% physical damage; the damage bonus and mitigation cap increase with each level. - "While using Unarmed skill, 36% of all Darkness and Psychic damage you take is mitigated and added to the damage done by your next Punch, Jab, or Infuriating Fist" => now 25% at a 300% rate. (This effect previously scaled from 8%-36% mitigation with a constant 100% soak-reflect; it's now 13%-25% with a continuously increasing soak-reflect.) - "While using Unarmed skill, 22% of all Acid, Poison, and Nature damage you take is mitigated and added to the damage done by your next Kick at a 100% rate" => now 21% at a 280% rate. (This effect previously scaled from 8%-22% mitigation with a constant 100% soak-reflect; it's now 1%-21% with a continuously increasing soak-reflect.) - "Mamba Strike deals +250% Crushing damage and +400 Trauma damage (if target's armor is below 33%), but reuse timer is +8 seconds" => "Mamba Strike damage +55%" - "Mamba Strike and Front Kick deal 95 Trauma damage over 15 seconds" => "Mamba Strike and Front Kick damage +80" - "Barrage and Headbutt ignite the target, causing them to take 130 damage over 20 seconds" => 212 damage over 8 seconds. - "Unarmed attacks have a 23% chance to conjure a magical field that mitigates 10% of all physical damage you take for 1 minute (or until 100 damage is mitigated)." => "While Unarmed skill is active: you gain +4% Melee Evasion and any time you Evade a Melee attack you recover 64 Armor" - "Unarmed attacks have a 16% chance to conjure a magical field that mitigates 10% of all physical damage you take for 1 minute (or until 100 damage is mitigated). Damage mitigated in this way is automatically added to the damage you do with your next Kick attack." => replaced: "While Unarmed skill is active: When you Evade an attack, your next attack deals +188 damage" - "Hip Throw and Bodyslam deal +148 armor damage" => "Hip Throw deals +192 armor damage" - "Cobra Strike and Mamba Strike boost your Nice Attack and Signature Debuff ability damage +44 for 7 seconds" => +55 for 7 seconds - "Slashing Strike and Claw Barrage boost damage from Epic attacks +60 for 10 seconds" => +74 - "Infuriating Fist taunts +460 and deals 150 Trauma damage over 12 seconds": This effect can no longer be found on Hands slot, only on Legs slot. Hand items with this effect have become Legacy items. (See below for instructions on what to do with Legacy items.) - New treasure effect for the Hands slot: "Infuriating Fist damage +103. Damage becomes Trauma instead of Crushing" - Slashing Strike: The damage-over-time is now applied over 6 seconds instead of 12. - "Slashing Strike deals +126 Trauma damage over 12 seconds" => over 6 seconds - "Infuriating Fist taunts +460 and deals 138 Trauma damage over 12 seconds" => over 6 seconds - "Cobra Strike and Mamba Strike Damage +38%" => +58% - "Cobra Strike and Mamba Strike restore 32 Armor to you" => 40 armor - "Bodyslam deals +37% damage and slows target's movement speed by 45%": This effect is no longer available on Hands, just Head. Items with this effect on Hands have become Legacy Items. (See below for instructions on what to do with Legacy items.) - New hands treasure effect: "Bruising Blow deals Trauma damage instead of Crushing, and targets suffer 12.5% more damage from other Trauma attacks for 20 seconds" - "While using Unarmed skill, 22% of all Slashing, Piercing, and Crushing damage you take is mitigated and added to the damage done by your next Punch, Jab, or Infuriating Fist at a 100% rate" => now 18% at a 260% rate. (This effect previously scaled from 3%-22% mitigation with a constant 100% soak-reflect; it's now 10%-18% with a continuously increasing soak-reflect.) - "Headbutt and Knee Kick deal +138 armor damage" => "Headbutt and Knee Kick Damage +108" - New treasure effect for the chest and off-hand slots: New chest and off-hand treasure effect: "Headbutt Damage +44%"
Legacy Items
Legacy items are items that cannot be generated in-game anymore, typically due to changes to the treasure-effect tables. If you have a Legacy item, you can continue using it for 30 days before it becomes permanently broken. There is a small golem in Serbule (in a house near the well) called the Legacy Item Replacer. This golem can tell you why an item is Legacy, and can replace the item with a new randomly-generated item with the same rarity. New to this update, you can also use Transmutation to remove the treasure effect that is making your item Legacy. After you've used Transmutation to change the offending effect into something else, log out and then log back in so that the game re-examines the item and removes the Legacy status. (If it works, the message "THIS IS A LEGACY ITEM" should disappear from the item description after relogging.)
Werewolf Treasure
We've taken a second look at a few treasure effects, especially the effects for Shadow Feint. We didn't correctly account for its dual-state nature and the effects were a bit too weak. - "Blood of the Pack restores 90 Health over 30 seconds to you and your allies" => over 10 seconds - "Shadow Feint causes your next attack to deal +144 damage if it is a Werewolf ability" => +192 damage - "When you teleport via Shadow Feint, you recover 50 Armor and your Sprint Speed is +3 for 10 seconds" => 83 Armor - "When you teleport via Shadow Feint, you recover 70 Health" => 100 Health - "Shadow Feint reduces the taunt of all your attacks by 35% until you trigger the teleport" => 46% - "Shadow Feint raises your Lycanthropy Base Damage +36% until you trigger the teleport" => +52%
Fixes to Damage Type Overrides
When a treasure effect changes the type of damage an ability deals, the game previously only partially implemented this: the target's vulnerabilities and resistances to the new damage type were calculated correctly, but it still used the original damage type when calculating total damage. For related reasons, the ability tooltip didn't completely show what was changing, only mentioning it at the bottom under "Other Effects". This is fixed, both internally and in the displayed info. The tooltip will show the new damage type in green (indicating it is enchanted), and the damage is calculated based on that new damage type.
Sonic Damage Retired
We're retiring the "Sonic" damage type. It was basically only accessible from the Giant Bat and Bard skills, and Giant Bats can't be Bards, so there wasn't much synergy (except perhaps in groups). After playing with some ideas, we realized no upcoming new combat skills were going to do a lot of Sonic damage, either. So we're converting all Sonic attacks to a different damage type to allow for more interconnectedness between skills. We've converted them all to Nature damage for now, although some may get changed to another damage type when we next focus on the individual skills involved. - Bard ability Blast of Fury damage type is now Nature. - Bard ability Blast of Defiance damage type is now Nature. - Bard ability Blast of Despair damage type is now Nature. - Giant Bat ability Screech damage type is now Nature. - Giant Bat ability Sonic Burst damage type is now Nature. - Bard Treasure change: "Thunderous Note deals +45% damage, and damage type is Sonic instead of Trauma" => Nature instead of Trauma - Bard Treasure change: "Thunderous Note causes the target to take +13% damage from Sonic attacks for 15 seconds" => Nature instead of Sonic - Giant Bat Treasure change: "For 30 seconds after using Drink Blood, all sonic attacks deal +45 damage" => all Nature attacks deal +45 damage - Giant Bat Treasure change: "Sonic Damage +32%" => "Nature Damage +32%" - Bard Crafting: Bard Shirts and Bard Gloves now boost Nature damage, not Sonic damage. - Council Pathfinder Helm now mitigates Nature, not Sonic. - Ratty Tactics Ring now boosts Nature, not Sonic damage. - Rattail-Ring of Screeching now boosts and protects against Nature, not Sonic. - All monsters that were vulnerable or resistant to Sonic have been changed. Most are now resistant/vulnerable to some new type instead. - All monster attacks that dealt Sonic damage now deal Nature damage.
Preventing Unintentional Quest Turn-ins
Having an NPC steal your good boots, when what you wanted was to give him your not-nearly-as-good boots, is a frustrating pain! So we've tweaked the behavior a little: - Equipment that is part of a Load-Out is never counted as part of a Quest or Work-Order. - Equipment that is in a Vendor-Locked folder is never counted as part of a Quest or Work-Order. (Note this only applies to equipment, not other items. This is so that players can still put regular quest items in vendor-locked folders to prevent accidentally selling them, and the items can still be turned in for the quest.) These sound like small bug-fixes, but they involved a bit more work than it may seem. The changes have been tested, but as always, please be on the lookout for bugs or complications.
Footsteps
We've made major changes to the footstep sound-effect system to allow for more types of sounds, such as squishy sounds for sand and splash sounds when running in shallow water. More work is planned in this area eventually, including volume fixes and different sounds for different boot types. (Currently the game assumes you're always wearing metal boots.)
Other Changes
- Fixed many teleportation arrival positions where the camera could get switched around to face the player instead of being behind the player. - Made configuring guild permissions a little more intuitive. - Fixed bugs that could prevent the "glowing" effect on high-tier loot (in the loot window). - Thimble Pete no longer notices if you are an animal while turning in a work order. (But still won't train animals.) - Small performance improvements to humanoids (both NPCs and Players). - Trolls' regeneration (when not on fire) is MUCH more potent! - Tweaked resistances and abilities of mummies.
Lore Adjustments
We've made a few small tweaks to game lore: - The "Rains in Ilmari" lasted for 2 years, not 20. (Exaggeration at its best!) - References to the "Red Mantis Gang" have been fixed to reference the "Red Wing Gang". - Removed a reference to the god Bogdelle because she has been retconned out of existence. - References to "Mirraverre" have been fixed to the correct spelling "Miraverre".
External Character References
We're working on some new ways for you to share your deeds and actions with the outside world. One thing we're working on is a "news ticker" that shows recent heroic exploits, such as killing a boss, completing a recipe for the 1000th time, maxing out a skill, that sort of thing. (It's not live yet -- we're still experimenting with it.) We'll only be using your character's name, and possibly other in-game names such as your guild's name -- we'd never share any real-life information. But if you are uncomfortable with having your character name-dropped outside of the game, you can opt out: in the "Social" window, under the "RESTRICT" tab, turn off "External References". And, of course, when you're in Incognito mode you're also left off of the news ticker, because you obviously want to be incognito! (As a reminder of how incognito works: you can log-in Incognito by holding down the SHIFT key at the character-selection screen. The "LOGIN" button will change to say "INCOGNITO LOGIN". This mode prevents your friends-list from being notified that you logged in, prevents you from showing up in /who lists and Guild-Online lists, etc. If you want to play incognito all the time, you can type "/incognito on" (without the quotes) into the chat window.)
