| 2026-04-25 12:36 | Oldman | how would they have time to check your property condition for millions of homes ? |
| 2026-04-25 12:36 | Dumbledore | crime rate, how many times police/fire/ambulance go to your area |
| 2026-04-25 12:36 | Dumbledore | like i said, there are a number of factors that determine property taxes you pay |
| 2026-04-25 12:35 | Oldman | so hoarders with 8 cars in thier front yard pay less taxes ? |
| 2026-04-25 12:35 | Oldman | then once it sells at a certain price they use that to try to raise the taxes on everyone nearby |
| 2026-04-25 12:35 | Dumbledore | which you're taxed on |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Dumbledore | no, that applies to property value |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Oldman | thats only real estate |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Dumbledore | how your property/neighbours property are maintained |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Oldman | nobody come to look at your yard to decide your tax value |
| 2026-04-25 12:33 | Dumbledore | other factors are 911 calls to the area |
| 2026-04-25 12:33 | Dumbledore | that's part of it yes |
| 2026-04-25 12:33 | Oldman | there is a 800k house next to mine and they try to raise my taxes every year . i have to contest the changes every year |
| 2026-04-25 12:32 | Oldman | they set your taxes on property by square footage and other nearby properties value |
| 2026-04-25 12:27 | Dumbledore | and with their property looking deplorable, they will pay less property taxes |
| 2026-04-25 12:25 | Higgu | they did it lay down sod for a green lawn that lasted 6 months |
| 2026-04-25 12:25 | Dumbledore | they did it to lower their property taxes |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Draguken | Stabber ISO group. |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Higgu | I get that, especially if they have weak root systems or health issues, but that's not why my neighbors did it. |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Tempestas | all trees are hazards |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Dumbledore | people usually clear the trees because they become hazards |
| 2026-04-25 12:23 | Higgu | I dislike when folks clear the trees in old neighborhoods. Sure. trees can be a pita with the roots and excessive shade, but I'd much rather have them than a bunch of fake green lawns. |
| 2026-04-25 12:21 | Dumbledore | well, that's why houses are built with wood... it's regenerative and sustainable |
| 2026-04-25 12:21 | Mahdi | 35/23 payback now |
| 2026-04-25 12:21 | Tempestas | just the landscape resiliency |
| 2026-04-25 12:20 | Tempestas | when i plant trees on agricultural properties, i never discuss the carbon or oxygen aspect |
| 2026-04-25 12:20 | Dumbledore | 90%-ish of our oxygen come from Phytoplankton |
| 2026-04-25 12:19 | Higgu | the world will be fine. humans might not be, but the world will be fine. |
| 2026-04-25 12:19 | Oldman | and algea which is also declining |
| 2026-04-25 12:18 | Higgu | Scotland has more sheep than people |
| 2026-04-25 12:18 | Dumbledore | you do know that we only get like 10% of our oxygen from trees, right? |
| 2026-04-25 12:17 | Dumbledore | there's also more trees in the amazon than people on the earth |
| 2026-04-25 12:17 | Oldman | human overpopulation and deforestation are real , ignore them at your own peril . i will be dead before the world ends from reckless use of natural non renewable resources :) |
| 2026-04-25 12:17 | Dumbledore | there are more trees in canada than people on the earth |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Higgu | oldman yells at cloud. news at 11. |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Ohm | Why not both? |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Higgu | ofc that's something an oldman would say |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Oldman | the world needs less people and more trees im all for it |
| 2026-04-25 12:14 | Mahdi | you get 20k tnl, you get 20k tnl, you get 20k tnl |
| 2026-04-25 12:13 | Higgu | now I'm thinking about Don Cheadle's captain planet running around in avatar turning everyone into Ents: "you're a tree. you're a tree! Tree! Tree!" |
| 2026-04-25 12:12 | Higgu | don cheadle is the best captain planet btw |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Mahdi | it was don cheadle |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Ohm | He was best frens with a certain financier... |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Dumbledore | yupp |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Higgu | orly |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Dumbledore | yeah, he did some bad thing here in avatar |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Higgu | wow. CaptainPlanet is a banned name |
| 2026-04-25 12:10 | Mahdi | and playing a certain tune on the dagger flute irl unlocks secret stuff |
| 2026-04-25 12:09 | Higgu | you have to wear the outfits IRL though |
| 2026-04-25 12:09 | Higgu | power ranger |
| 2026-04-25 12:09 | Mahdi | walker texas rangers |
| 2026-04-25 12:08 | Higgu | new class? Greater Ranger? |
| 2026-04-25 12:08 | Loso | go alrin go! |
| 2026-04-25 12:08 | Loso | nah, it just unlocks new ranger and opens up titan |
| 2026-04-25 12:07 | Mahdi | and snikts basement blows up |
| 2026-04-25 12:07 | Higgu | ikr? |
| 2026-04-25 12:07 | Mahdi | we get to finally see the avatar end credits |
| 2026-04-25 12:07 | Higgu | I think once the game has a high elf wizard with 150k hp mana and moves, then the game shutsdown as he wins. |
| 2026-04-25 12:07 | Xodi | 150k moves... MMMmmm |
| 2026-04-25 12:06 | Higgu | the cap is 150k hp, mana, moves. Alrin is well on his way to all three. |
| 2026-04-25 12:06 | Sarm | Ah. |
| 2026-04-25 12:06 | Mahdi | what we call 999 lords who have leveled a lot past that |
| 2026-04-25 12:05 | Sarm | Mutants? |
| 2026-04-25 12:05 | Higgu | mutant lords could replenish the hp loss, but really. that's a high price imo to use that spell. |
| 2026-04-25 12:05 | Sarm | Well now I know never to use that spell again, haha. |
| 2026-04-25 12:04 | Ohm | last sentence in help transfer life |
| 2026-04-25 12:04 | Higgu | I've never been in a situation where I wanted to test that. If you die, well, you die. |
| 2026-04-25 12:04 | Higgu | maybe it still does |
| 2026-04-25 12:04 | Higgu | folks told me it used to, thus the 1/1 hp char |
| 2026-04-25 12:03 | Sarm | It can lower your max HP?! |
| 2026-04-25 12:03 | Higgu | I thought there's a char here that has 1/1 hp due to spamming transfer life |
| 2026-04-25 12:02 | Viserion | does transfer life still have the chance to break your hp? |
| 2026-04-25 12:02 | Sarm | I used it specifically to go unconscious a couple of times for laughs. |
| 2026-04-25 12:01 | Mahdi | no but it is now a prereq |
| 2026-04-25 12:01 | Higgu | does anyone really use transfer life? |
| 2026-04-25 12:00 | Zone | full |
| 2026-04-25 12:00 | Higgu | oh you're talking about rescuing the tank as a monitor target vs a splat |
| 2026-04-25 12:00 | Zone | beckon hero xp |
| 2026-04-25 12:00 | Zone | it doesn't stop them from attacking |
| 2026-04-25 11:59 | Zone | intercede stops basic aggro when not already in combat |
| 2026-04-25 11:59 | Higgu | intercede prevents your target from getting attacked, and thus getting into combat first |
| 2026-04-25 11:59 | Zone | intercede doesn't prevent that |
| 2026-04-25 11:59 | Higgu | unless you do monitor swapping |
| 2026-04-25 11:59 | Higgu | intercede might prevent that from happening |
| 2026-04-25 11:59 | Zone | it maxes out eventually |
| 2026-04-25 11:58 | Sarm | I wonder if that means optimal bodyguarding would involve letting your monitor target get in battle before you, to maximize the number of rescues you perform. |
| 2026-04-25 11:56 | Mahdi | payback currently gives me 31/21 I believe |
| 2026-04-25 11:56 | Higgu | ah ok |
| 2026-04-25 11:56 | Mahdi | yes |
| 2026-04-25 11:56 | Higgu | Mahdi: if you type slearn renown - is it 75% ? |
| 2026-04-25 11:56 | Mahdi | Spell: 'renown' by 75 for an unknown time. |
| 2026-04-25 11:55 | Fuzum | it grows as your rescue |
| 2026-04-25 11:55 | Higgu | my renown is at 2%, but I guess I have nothing at the moment: You stridently brag about your bodyguarding ability. Are you sure that is ... wise? |
| 2026-04-25 11:55 | Fuzum | which will show your renown in affects |
| 2026-04-25 11:55 | Fuzum | you type brag |
| 2026-04-25 11:54 | Higgu | but otherwise the skill in slearn renown - does it grow as you rescue folks, or is that a different mechanism? is it like monk qi? |
| 2026-04-25 11:53 | Fuzum | im done for now, need to cook breakfast |
| 2026-04-25 11:53 | Fuzum | you get renown by rescueing your monitor target |
| 2026-04-25 11:53 | Sarm | Fuzum, is your group still open for a couple more? |
| 2026-04-25 11:53 | Higgu | oh there's no way to practice renown? you just gain the skill experience by doing it? |
