  1. 6500 requests, divided by 365 days, comes out to 17.8 requests per day.
    - A minimum 5 minute video per report usually (sometimes more, sometimes less) -> equates to ~90 minutes worth of video to watch per day.
    - You take that and add in 2 minutes to read your explanation of whats wrong + 2 minutes to reply to you with their explanation + 5 minutes to put in the ban/refund.
    - Note: This doesn't count for ANY time that it takes to re-watch a video if shits sketchy or if your a [][][][] and your video sucks / is too long.

    You now go up to 249 minutes per day -> which is roughly 4 hours at the absolute BARE MINIMUM.


    Theres maybe 20 members on the staff team? Thats probably like 8 too many but lets say hypothetically.
    - Dont Count @Mitch (IFRIT), @Clint Beastwood, or any of the developers because they have more important shit to do if you want to play the game.
    - That probably leaves you with 10-12 support members so lets say 12 for the hell of it to make the numbers more in favor for YOU.
    - That comes to roughly 21 minutes of straight non stop watching video's and replying which realistically unless your a robot you need to think about shit, re-type stuff, re-watch your ridiculous ass video's, or you might be busy inbetween reports making this roughly double (42 minutes).
    - This is again not counting BAN APPEALS, in game nonsense with cheaters/hackers, or the special snowflakes who need to talk in teamspeak.

    So its roughly 42 minutes per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for each support member here.
    -  Im sure that most of them like most of you have a job, maybe a family or atleast some friends, meaning that they aren't around 7 days a week.
    - Lets say for hypothetical reasons they are available a solid 5 days a week. That means that the 42 minutes a day now turns to 58.8 minutes.



    So the outcome is that every time one of these guys wants to get home from work they "Owe" you an hour of their time IF they can do it very efficiently providing your video/reports dont suck. You may not be the person for that hour today but from the statistics shown it appears that they seem handle all cases within one weeks time.
    - I am sure you are just as responsible as the adults in their staff team meaning that you probably only get a few hours of free time per day your self.
    - I cant speak for anyone but im not taking 1 out of the 4 hours I get to handle some dip shits video about a guy DPI glitching 20 minutes into the video.
    - I think you should appreciate the plain simple fact that they do this every week for you without pay, with all these morons, and they help you get to continue playing.

    Is there a particular set of RAM that you would recommend? I want to make sure it hits atleast 3200 MHZ if not 3600 and I heard some shitty things about overclocking some RAM brands.

    I think in my PC I have the 3200 version of these but they dont seem to be all that popular (although mines overclocked with no issue on an intel setup)
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X8DVDZZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3TOECTKC4OEBD&psc=1


    I seen some recommendation video's using something like this too:
    https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-PC4-28800-1-35V-Desktop-Memory/dp/B07FBVYFKH/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=corsair+vengeance+lpx+3600&qid=1578588296&sr=8-1

  3. Just in case someone who reads this is building their own PC - what the folks above noted is true. It turns out that some of these motherboards require a BIOS update to use the new CPU's and you need an older AMD chip to do it unfortunately. Luckily with this motherboard line they made a MAX version that was already flashed so you didnt need to do that:
    ```
    Therefore, getting a standard B450 Tomahawk isn't recommended for new Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs whatsoever - even if you do the BIOS update yourself, you could encounter issues either now like many others have, or down the road (due to the small BIOS chip). To solve the problem MSI quickly (well, it hasn't turned out too quick for the US) released a "Max" version of the popular Tomahawk with a new and bigger BIOS ROM/chip to be able to accommodate the new BIOS (and future BIOS updates). Plus, the new Tomahawk comes already equipped with the new BIOS too, so there's no need to update the BIOS yourself - very handy for those building a new PC.
    ```

    Yeah B450 "MAX" versions are compatible with 3000 series out of the box, MSI is always good with allowing BIOS flashbacks without a cpu installed anyway so nothing to worry about. You might be able to pick up a 5700XT within your budget, seriously good card nearly matching a 2070 super.

     

    Hmm interesting, I thought about just giving him my 1070ti in a few months and it kind of kills me that the 970 I bought to hold him over is brand new in a box lol

    They always have some warnings on PCPP, but that is one that you actually need to watch out for unless you've got a AM4 CPU already. If you were to buy it on amazon or something, then you would probably get an old board with some June 2019 BIOS that wouldn't work before the update. If you were to go into a shop or something, or know someone with an old AM4 CPU, then you'd be fine most likely. I know for my B350 board, AMD sent out update kits because they pretty much launched their 2000 APU SKUs on top of their 1000 SKUs, and people needed a way updating their motherboards. I don't know if they still do that, but if they do, you could just use that route. 

    Thats a good point, although, you know being lazy and all ... I could send it back to the cunts if they ship me some old shit.

    Azeh mentioned that the "MAX" version is the one that would be compatible out of the box so I think thats might have been where I went wrong

    I see no problems with your build except for that that Mobo might need a BIOS update. 

     

    (Didn't you already build a Nephew a PC for their birthday?)

    Yeah I built one nephew a PC (older one) and I have a younger one who really likes to play my old beat up one.

    Regarding the MOBO warning .. I wonder if thats just something they put for all AM2 boards since I keep seeing video's with these same parts put together. (I updated the initial post with a video where someone uses it)

  6. Hi All,

    I have built quite a few PC's in the past and for the most part I almost always go to @Azeh to see whats shit these days and whats not. This time around im building one for my nephews birthday and I noticed a lot of the AMD prices are ridiculously good right now.

    Budget:
    I dont think there's really a budget but I figured something within 500-1000 range would be prefered.

    What I put together so far:
    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jybfmg

    I basically have a brand new GTX 970 sitting in a box, a corsair 550 or 650 PSU (Can't remember), and a 1TB HDD he can have so it saves a couple hundred bucks there. Ill end up giving him my 1070ti eventually but for now im sure thats good enough to run medium graphics since hes more then happy playing on 20 frames on low right now lol.


    -----------> I was hoping to get your thoughts on that build above as it seems like for all intensive purposes it can play 1080p games quite well and its just about 500 bucks. My understanding with AMD Ryzen CPU's is that the most important part is to get a good batch of RAM + MOBO that can actually overclock to the 3200 speed for the CPU to utilize.

    Any recommendations would be appreciated and if what I picked is shit please let me know

    Oh I guess one other thing is I also have some cheap kingston SSD he could use too but I figured that maybe those new SSD's would help a lot. 

    (Also I wasn't really sure with that warning on the PC part picker if it was compatible since I seen a youtube video where they used the parts together)

    You cant pay people for pardons.  Want to talk about abuse, implement that.  Honestly with jail time being 6 minutes people should be forced to be sent to jail. it honestly makes no sense to me whatsoever why someone with a huge bounty would get butt hurt they have to go to jail because their bullshit story isn't believed because they got arrested robbing something or killing someone.  You basically go unpunished for doing crime, this is the only server I am aware of that does not jail AND fine you.  Every other server I played on even if you went to jail punished you with some sort of fine as well. 

     

    Im so sick of this sorry ass RP argument, no one fucking RPs until you get arrested.  We all run around murder everyone with "hands up or die" or "pull over or die" or "land or die" with 0 effort towards RP, then its fail RP when a cop doesn't believe your fancy ass version of self defense.  Then the higher ups in the APD use the sorry ass excuse "they're whitelisted they should RP better", meanwhile the same criminal being a piece of shit is also whitelisted, hes just not on cop so its ok to fail at RP...

    Personally I dont care what happens to me when I have a bounty so im in full agreement with you but it just seems kind of stupid to have a pay system based on arresting people. 

    I cant say that I have tons of options to offer for idea's outside of either equal payment, pay based on time played,  or something along those lines.

  8. Again this is my preference so its certainly not yours but maybe youll find something you like - @eazy:(. I make good money now but this is where I have been getting my clothes for years and its near impossible get size 14 shoes in stock that dont cost a fortune so you may appreciate this if your tall:

    One place I get a lot of shoe's from (Adidas ultrabounce/alphabounce) and some sweatshirts is the addidas store on ebay:
    https://www.ebay.com/usr/adidas_official?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754
    (Love their shoes and a lot of their stuff goes on heavy sales. If you have a size 14 shoe like me you wont find better prices ... or stock available lol)

    One place I get my shorts (basketball), Occasional Basketball shoes, and tanktops is from Eastbay:
    https://www.eastbay.com/product/~/1137102.html
    (Insanely good quality basketball shorts and one of the only ones that tell you the length - so if your tall you would appreciate that).

    One place I like to get T shirts from is old navy - again they have tall clothes so I dont have to get poncho's if I want something to fit (6'3):
    https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=131193032&rrec=true&mlink=5050,12413545,onproduct2_rr_1&clink=12413545#pdp-page-content
    (Sales are shit right now but I can normally get a pair of jeans for 15-25$, Shirts for 3-10$, Cargo Shorts for 10-25$)

     

  9. ill be honest you typed way too much for my brain to stay focused but it should be simple.

    You should be paid the same as a cop regardless if you:


    A. Send someone to Jail

    B. Charge them a ticket
    C. Pardon them
    D. Give them Parole

     

     

    It should go based on the judgement of the crimes, story, and rank of the officer to make the decision there. If you have different amounts of pay then you are going to skew what the player does in that position. If you got paid the same amount to pardon someone I bet you would see a lot more people listening to people's stories and all that.

     

    Obviously this can be abused in certain situations but thats the whole reason why not everyone should be a cop and they would find them selves removed. You could also easily alter the entire pay amount and it would cover this exact clause

    In my experience you can do sets of 3 and sets of 12 and still make incredible strength gains. The one difference I have noticed is that you run a higher risk of injury with that lower rep range especially if your form breaks down.

    The other thing I have noticed is that if you push your self to failure in the lower rep range you will engage in failure of the nervous system. If you fail in the higher rep range you won't be as beat afterwards.

    Yeah I mean thats a reasonably decent rep range for low weight but lets say you fast forward 2-3 months. Now that rep range needs to be 15 reps if you want to continue to make small progress. You continue that for a year or so and now you have to do 30 reps before your muscle breaks down at the same efficiency and it becomes a cardio session before you can hit that peak.

    When you keep your calories at strict amounts like 15% above maintanence it just isnt feasible to keep up with that kind of volume without gassing out before peak. 

    (I know in your case you would increase the weight slowly because you know what your doing - I just put the note above for the folks who start working out and stick to the same thing for extended periods of time)

    This is a myth. Going with higher weight and lower volume does not mean that you will build muscle faster. Bulking has a direct correlation to caloric surplus. Getting lean has a direct correlation to caloric deficit. I may still be a fat fuck, but I did have decent PR's for the big three, a 505 lb dead lift, 445lb squat for 2 reps, and a 260 lb bench press. Take it as you will. More reasoning on what I said before below.

    There is two ways your body can quite effectively build muscle. The first and more commonly used by people is tearing down the muscle with medium to low amounts of repetitions and using a weight that is heavy (relative to your maximum.) Whichever one works for you the best is partially based on genetics. I spent a good while looking for the peer reviewed science that I read on it years ago, however I can't find it. I'm sure if you look hard enough you will. It's also worth noting that this method has been proven to be better for people who are natural.

    The second way that you can do it is using the pump, which is with higher repetitions and lower weight(once again relative to your one rep max.) However, this method has been proven to be more often better for people who are using some form or steroid. The reason being is that many steroids increase your blood flow, and the pump relies a lot on blood flow for it to be an effective way to build muscle.

    Edit: The biggest reason I didn't lose that much weight when I was super into lifting weights was that I never really cared to go down to a caloric deficit, and never bothered with doing much cardio at all.

    Either way good shit marzoh.

    You are completely right but there is one catch:

    Most people who do lower weight with high reps will never reach the amount of reps they need to really fully break down the muscle because they will gas out before they hit that amount. Those people also hit plateu's a lot faster then others because its just not feasible to increase your rep range each week when you are already doing so much; vs  someone who can feasibly increase the weight each week. 


    Additionally as time goes on you will need to  increase the weight or # of reps otherwise your body will adjust to what you are doing and you will hit your first plateu.

    We’ve heard that excuse so many times. Updates are still as rare as before v2. A lot of shit is still broken. No one gives a fuck anymore it seems like.

    Stop for five minutes and put your selves in someone else shoes.

    If someone told you - hey I need you to fix the teamspeak server every day after work/school for a majority of your free time.

    - The first thing you would think of is "sure no big deal"
    - Now do that every day for months, and months, and month's and see how you feel.
    - Now picture the fact that everything your doing is for a game you didnt create so half the time the shit you do breaks because of shitty functions that are built in to the game or just for reasons that you may not be able to figure out easily without proper debugging tools that dont exist on a shitty video game server.
    - Now if that wasn't annoying enough - lets pause right there and remind you that you are NOT getting paid, you are NOT getting appreciated, and you are NOT going to be able to re-use this code on a future project.


    You dont think that half the people that work on this shit would rather be doing this for a GOOD game and getting paid real money? For fucks sake they could be getting paid a nice salary to go fuck around with a mobile game but there doing this to help you retards play.


    I dont even play this shit game but I appreciate the effort people put in for the rest of you morons to play.
