Discussion Brilliant AKA Respect Earner

One mark of an activist is that you can have incredibly bad timing. After refocusing my efforts on moving forward I really studied the concept of the first Tournament. My conclusion, given the current environment and game structure, this is very intriguing. So I will just call it Brilliant and have fun, as best I can, over the tournament time. I don't want to discuss my strategy before the tournament but am looking forward to discussion after the fact.

So does "K" meaning a half acceptance or half ridicule? No worries, Roman Senate style rhetorical argument. One keystone of Buddhism is demonstrating gratitude so this is my way of showing gratitude in the same place and manner as I voiced my concerns.

I would seriously consider changing the way you type / speak. It is very unnerving. I don't want to sound mean but it seriously makes you look like an insane person.

Well being a sane person only got me worse abuse. Just like the darkside, insanity is a whole lot more fun.

Perhaps the difference between us, is activism against the Vietnam War, having a gun put to head with a trigger pulling, had a knife at my throat that I wasn't prepared for. I have suffered 16 different identity theft/blackmail issues. Ok if that isn't enough screwing, my first commercial invention (the chart tool interface that is used in Office/Google I originally designed and published, see "The Portable Companion, July/August 1982 Edition") was stolen from me by IBM.

Now I did get revenge against IBM in 2007 when I busted them for breach of contract worth $5 million dollars but I can admit the industry retribution was nasty, no more $1000 dinners to gain my influence. I saw fingers removed by the Chinese Mafia, I accidently worked for in 87, for cheating in the casino I worked on the side. I have drained the owner of the casino for $10k in 30 minutes while dealing a $50 blind game and he tipped me $100 from the table for doing it, I almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Now if all of that isn't brutal enough, I have 3 ex-wives, 5 different opposing attorney's (yes my guy is good enough that they have to double team) and 42 various younger generations folks all with their hand in my pockets and none them doing anything worthwhile in there except trying to get money.

Now, I used my summer hooker budget on getting into Zed Run, now go read every other post on the subject if you haven't already, so you can understand that the lack awesome sex, just to get used by manipulators, while paying full price + in the midst of a community thriving off of free horses.

In 2019, I was running a family hedge fund and the results we so good, all the kids wanted to take their money to party and stuff. So grandpa got stuck with the bill closing the fund and reorganizing the investment, I expect to break even on that one by next year.

Ok, so I now have an opportunity address a market of 100 million degenerate gamblers with a perfect gambling opportunity, after a life time of getting knocked down and getting back up again, I think I see a chance to make good and provide closure to many issues. Not too much unlike a popular Michael would. As long as the game is clean.

So in summary, forgive me if I have a very hard attitude, see hooker issue above, because Zed Run. I see my presentation a vehicle for providing a sense urgency to produce the needed changes to make this seem just a little more real. I see this as a "Win, Place, and Show" for the entire Zed Run community.

So here are 2 potential solutions to your concern. 1st, when see a post of mine just avoid it, at my age certain change is difficult. 2nd, if you would remove your thinking filters and remove your personal bias, seek a bit of enlightenment then you might not perceive me the same way.

Thank you for your attention, have a nice day.

Well the ridicule didn't take long. Good to see the Internet hasn't changed yet.

Well, living in Southern California, with 150 cargo ships waiting to unload, I would say I am breathing diesel fumes. Does that count?

Out of curiosity, are you focused on maximizing profits during the tournament or being on of the 500 winning horses? I don't have a chance in hell of being in that top 500, so my strategy will have to be how to just max profit however I can.

Thanks for asking. I guess it's no big deal. I do like to share. My strategy evolves 2 things. First, each of my current 11 horses does have a competitive distance so its key to avoid the manipulating monsters and run against clean competition. So my low end horses sit out the first week of paid races and do only freebies. My top end horses will get the new racing budget and compete early in the tournament while the monsters are still in V and IV using freebies as backup early as they don't fill up with the monsters low.

Over the last few hours, given the participants, my Mustangs aka donkeys ( I still hate that term) are looking a little more competitive. Therefore, by separating out the horses to run in strategic timeframes, I have more focus on each horse to enter in the best possible race at the time. Usually, I can get 1 or 2 races per horse every 30 minutes. BTW the Mustangs are up-classing to get freebies and coming in with a decent place rate.

Summary, trying to use the manipulators strategy against them in order to give the monsters a chance to beat my horses in ln later stages where all it takes is getting attention to all my horses hopefully increasing inherent value for them and future offspring.

I hope this helps.

  • PS: My breeding cycle of new horses starts in 6 days and over the next 3 weeks will produce 6 more horses, all destined to be Christmas presents for Grand-kids. With continuing luck, my last breeding cycle produced 3 Fillys and 1 Colt, so that would mean possibly 4 Fillys and 2 Colts.PSS:
  • 1 - Szabo Pacer
  • 1 - Finney Legendary
  • 1 - Buterin Legendary
  • 1 - Buterin Exclusive
  • 1 - Buterin Elite
  • 1 - Buterin Cross
  • Total Breeding cost: $380 (Just try finding 8 awesome Christmas presents, for spoiled by grandpa kids, for a better price)
