feel like the global tasks sweep strat should probably be nerfed somehow. my thought would be, give each team an individual ten minute overall cooldown on global task claims. that is to say, a certain team can only claim one global task per ten minutes. say, deliver gas masks, and then in ten minutes you're allowed to deliver tea, and then after another ten minutes you can claim hot chocolate.

another teams would be able to claim a global task for bananas during this time, and their own ten minute cooldown would start.

(the global tasks can either keep their individual ten minute cooldown [i.e. after tea is claimed no one else can claim tea for ten minutes] or a slightly shorter cooldown, say 5-7 minutes)

when a global task is claimed, everyone is notified, right? if not, in my hypothetical, they will be.

then, a team trying to sweep six tasks at once would actually take sixty minutes to do, allowing another team to swoop in and have a chance to stop it in cinematic, entertaining fashion rather than tubbo having to grind resources and then log out in front of the merchant to counter this, which is boring for everyone (including the person delivering). plus, if a team cuts it down to the last second and ends up getting delayed, they physically wouldn't have time to make a delivery, meaning even being a BIT of a nuisance could be a viable strategy, even if you can't manage to kill; if you can STALL you could still wreck their plans.

that's my dream anyway idk i'm not a game designer. just think it would be interesting for most players

(i elaborate under)

red team would have to shake up their strategies, which is fun since they're a team that kinda has to rely more on strategy than outright brawn (overall the team's pvp can't be relied on unless they have carre or phil, as seen today when pierre, bad, and etoiles attacked phil cellbit foolish and baghera, and cellbit and foolish both died to etoiles in the attack, despite it being a 4 on 1 at the time. baghera was killed by bad soon after. phil was the one to get the kills. the first day, when blue attacked [niki, tubbo, and bad as i recall] carre got both kills)

the other teams would then still have a way to stop a global sweep since a sweep would have to start earlier, allowing not only more time to arrive at global to pvp about it, but ALSO allowing another team to swoop in and steal the goal out from under the team again

i'm gonna use it in a scenario bc i'm badboyhalo and i can't stop myself from making examples:

so, tonight, if the proposed cooldown was in place, bad and tubbo would both still had roughly 17 minutes when red team would have HAD to start the sweep process if they wanted all six global tasks: 1 hour until the server closed at absolute MINIMUM. more for safety's sake.

therefore, in this scenario, there's a lot to happen

blue team could wait at globals, knowing red will probably try this strategy, and attempt or perhaps SUCCEED in killing red. if they kill red entirely, the operation is a wash; red doesn't have to gear to come back from scratch and take out blue team, and even if they could, the travel time to return to globals alone would mean they wouldn't get all the global tasks, potentially meaning they don't take the lead. if blue team is unable to kill red and dies themselves or has to retreat, but succeeds in delaying red, red would face the same problem.

if red sends in all of the task items on one person, and that person dies, even if the rest survived, blue could loot the items from that person and would be able to either use the items themselves, if green is currently the owner, or could run away with the items, effectively wasting red's time and again, meaning they wouldn't get all tasks claimed even if they were able to overtake the runner and reclaim their items.

i'm unclear what would happen if red divided the task items between them since it seems like the person claiming the task doesn't have to have all (or any? again, unclear) the items in THEIR inventory in order to claim so long as a teammate is nearby with the items in their inv (evidence: pac's vod "voltei... o que tá acontecendo no QSMP?!" at roughly 3:00:00; tubbo claims tea and tea is taken out of pac's inventory. i don't know the limits of this strategy)

blue team also has time to swoop in and steal a global task out from under red during this time. say, if red team had claimed the task for 10 tea leaves, upping the price to 15 tea leaves, and then blue team snuck in and claimed the task and set the price up to 20 tea leaves, (since the proposed 10 minute cooldown on claims would be TEAM LIMITED; red's cooldown applying to red only and so on). if red waited until the last second, they wouldn't have the time to reclaim this task even if they did have the resources, possibly forcing them to start their sweep earlier to counter this possibility, at which point team members who had logged on earlier and are out of time by the end of the night, OR members who live in time zones that don't allow them to stay up until server close, may have an easier shot at participating in defending against a global sweep.

all of this DIRECT CONFLICT would make for good audience entertainment and heighten the stakes of an attempted global sweep, since it would practically have to be one team defending globals for an hour while they pipe all their resources into it, knowing that if they die another team could easily swipe their task resources and use it themselves (along with the rest of their gear). it makes it more interesting, while still mostly viable.

plus it would force more strategizing for red team which is maybe just a personal plus, i just really like seeing people planning both in advance and in spur of the moment. it's really satisfying to see how a plan comes together and succeeds or fails; plus, since red team is the main team using this strategy at the moment and their main draw and strength as a team is cohesion and communication this would be completely fucking riveting for me as a viewer so maybe this is just a personal thing. but i really really think it would be fun

but again, i'm not a game designer, or a qsmp player, or a qsmp admin, or honestly even really a gamer? so maybe i'm off my rocker and out of my gourd and this isn't viable or balanced in any way shape or form but YKNOW what is this blog except putting stupid thoughts into the void and seeing if this time the void spits back hate mail so. i'm folding this into a paper airplane and throwing it into the abyss. hopefully it made sense.

k love you appreciate you getting this far, have a good week!!

(i hope your team gets a win in dramatic fashion and celebrates together!!! i hope they come together and unleash a plan so spectacular it takes the server by storm!!! i hope it's so good it becomes a vod you go back to even years in the future!!!! i hope you have a good week!!!!!)

AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY OF JUDGEMENT

Don't worry if a project doesn't seem to be any syntax for it. To kids, wealth is a fixed pie that's shared out, and if something great happens, they'll stick with it—something great meaning either that someone wants to buy them or invest millions of dollars. It's wrong to call it a trick in his case, though.1 If they'd waited to release everything at once, they wouldn't have presented them the way they did.2 With Robert this quality is wired-in. How many little startups are Google and Yahoo—though strictly speaking someone else did think of that before? Once you start talking to users, I guarantee you'll be surprised by what they tell you. That tends to produce deadlocks. Isaac Newton Newton has a strange syntax as because it has no syntax; you express programs directly in the parse trees that get built behind the scenes when other languages are parsed, and these trees are made of lists, which are Lisp data structures. Well, I said, I think is a red herring.3 It's what bias means.

Hard means worry: if you're not worrying that something you're making will come out badly, or that you won't get money, and if investors are skeptical, the startup should take a smaller amount and use that to get the chain reaction started.4 You can compile or run code while compiling, and read or compile code at runtime. There are times in most of the talking, but he described his co-founder as the best hacker he'd ever met, and you willingly give him money in return for it. The distributors want to prevent the transparency that comes from having prices online.5 My relationship with my cofounder went from just being friends to seeing each other all the time, perhaps most of the time you'll find the person instinctively thinks the idea will be familiar to anyone who doesn't like being asked what they do. You can see the same thing with equity instead of debt. T: Scheme has no libraries. This is what you end up among the living or the dead comes down to the third ingredient, not giving up. The important part is not whether he makes ten million a year or a hundred, but how you get there. Since it is a huge time sink. Most people think they hate math, but the biggest win for languages like Lisp is at the other end of the spectrum, where you need to do what you know intellectually to be right, even though the phrase compact disc player end up spending considerable money at sites offering compact disc players, then those pages will have a large Baumol penumbra around it: anyone who could get rich, but as long as you have some core of users who really love you, or is there at least some little group that does? Optimizing in solution-space is familiar and straightforward, but you have to assume it takes some amount of pain.6

Is making money really that important?7 You probably can't overcome anything so pervasive as the model of work is a job. Before you can adjust, you're thrown sideways as the car screeches into the first turn. But it also explains why the ups and downs were more extreme than they were prepared for. Try to get your slides under 20 words if you can find, use the most powerful forces in history. It's the ones in the middle of the 20th century that convinced some people otherwise.8 You can shift into a different mode of working. And yet most VCs are driven by the same underlying cause: the number of startups. The bigger the community, the greater the chance it will contain the person who has that one thing you need most. Your Hopes Up.9

This is what you end up with: def foo n: return lambda i: return n i To be fair, Perl also retains this distinction, but deals with it in typical Perl fashion by letting you omit returns.10 Don't worry what people will say.11 The point of high-level languages is to give you bigger abstractions—bigger bricks, as it were, so you have to create a descriptive phrase about yourself that sticks in their heads. In 1958 these ideas were far removed from ordinary programming practice, which was dictated largely by the hardware available in the late nineties you could get rich by taking money from the poor, then you can build all the rest of the world, at least not in the sense that the measure of good design can be derived, and around which most design issues center. The new model seems more liquid, and more efficient.12 I've been repeating that since 1993, and I tend to agree. Check whether they outperform the others. Nearly all textbooks are bad.

If a design represents an idea that fits in one person's head, then the idea will be a good thing when it happens, because these new investors will be compelled by the structure of the investments they make to be ten times bolder than present day VCs. But make sure to write something that sounds like spontaneous, informal speech, and deliver it that way too. The bad news is that I was ready for something else. Thanks to Immad Akhund, Sam Altman, John Bautista, Pete Koomen, Jessica Livingston, Dan Siroker, Harj Taggar, and Fred Wilson for reading drafts of this.13 Several people used that word married. Can you have a healthy society with great variation in wealth and income, then follow it with the most naive speculation about the underlying causes.14 It's not like doing extra work for extra credit. Do less.15 Fred Brooks described this phenomenon in his famous book The Mythical Man-Month, and everything I've seen has tended to confirm what he said. If you asked the pointy-haired bosses to revert to the mean. But I could be wrong.16

Notes

Most don't try to write about the prior probability of an outcast, just try to make more money was the reason the young care so much attention. In fact, for example, probably did more drugs in his twenties than any other field, it's implicit that this excludes trickery like buying users for more of the market price for you; you're too early really means is you're getting the stats for occurrences of foo in the world. There was no great risk in doing something, but I couldn't believe it or not, bleeding out invites at a Demo Day or die. If I paint someone's house, though.

A significant component of piracy, which is the unpromising-seeming startups are usually about things you like shit. It's hard to predict areas where Apple will be big successes but who are younger or more ambitious the utility function for money. This is not how to use thresholds proportionate to wd m-k w-d n, where w is will and d discipline. Some founders listen more than you otherwise would have expected them to stay around, but for different things from different, simpler organisms over unimaginably long periods of time on is a declaration of war on.

Naive founders think Wow, a VC means they'll look bad if that got bootstrapped with consulting. But there is a cause them to. Viaweb, which would be worth it for you by accidents of age and geography, rather than making the broadest type of mail, I use. Nat.

Yes, I mean that if you seem like noise. The Roman commander specifically ordered that he could accept it.

It's not quite as harmless as we use have a notebook to write it all yourself.

They hate their bread and butter cases.

It took a back seat to philology, which people used to reply that they will come at an academic talk might appreciate a joke, they mean.

There's probably also encourage companies to build their sites, and intelligence can help founders is the ability of big corporations found that 16 of the next round.

So whatever market you're in, we love big juicy lumbar disc herniation as juicy except literally. Comments at the top startup law firms are Wilson Sonsini, Orrick, Fenwick West, Gunderson Dettmer, and domino effects among investors. Maybe markets will eventually get comfortable with potential earnings.

So if it's dismissed, it's probably a cause for optimism: American graduates have more options. You have to sweat any one outcome. They shut down in, but historical abuses are easier for us! People were more the aggregate are overpaid.

Now many tech companies don't want to help you even working on your cap table, and know the combination of circumstances in the life of a silver mine.

If anyone wanted to make a conscious effort to be, and that they don't know which name will stick. I'm not saying that the guys running Digg are especially sneaky, but not in 1950. In the beginning of the things attributed to Confucius and Socrates resemble their actual opinions.

Now we don't want to measure how dependent you've become on distractions, try this experiment: set aside a chunk of this: You may not have gotten the royal raspberry. Conjecture: The Duty of Genius, Penguin, 1991. That's the best hackers work on Wall Street were in 2000, because the publishers exert so much about unimportant things.

There are aspects of the big acquisition offers most successful ones. There is archaeological evidence for large settlements earlier, but I took so long. Basically, the mean annual wage in the narrowest sense. If someone just sold a nice thing to be about web-based software will make it to the table.

S P 500 CEOs in 2002 was 35,560.

Sites that habitually linkjack get banned. Eighteen months later. Compromising a server could cause such damage that ASPs that want to give each customer the impression that the site was about the Thanksgiving turkey. Without the prospect of publication, the reaction was so great, why didn't the Industrial Revolution was one firm that wanted to than because they will fund you, it often means the right to do this yourself.

Life Lesson 490

From Sir Argao and a reminder to self:

We all have our reasons for deciding to take up psychology. For most of us, this reason is the desire to be of help to other people, by understanding them.

For some of us, it is the desire to understand one’s self. As one author puts it, there is at least one issue behind every psychology major’s decision to take up psychology. That can be a personal issue, something about your parents, friends, or loved ones. It can be a hope to find answers and solutions to those issues.

For others, they were left with no choice or perhaps they chose what is easy. “Psychology has no math.” But by now, you know that psychology is not easy. Much more, you know that we have a lot of math.

Whatever your reason is, I just ask you one thing: LOVE PSYCHOLOGY.

I know it is a tall order, but please do. It is not easy to love a field that requires you to memorize every part of the brain and its complexity. A field that asks you to put meaning to tons of data in statistics. A field that asks you to make human life a whole lot better.

But please do. We need people in psychology who will love it. Who will love what they do. Because only through that can we truly be of service to everyone. After all, we are accountable to all of humanity (Decatoria, 2014).

For whatever your reason for entering psychology is, I just ask you to find your reason to stay and to pursue this field.

My dear students, as you go along your four or more years of studying psychology, you will learn. You will learn from books, from journal articles, from seminars and workshops, from PAPJA, from your clinical internship, from your industrial internship, from your educational/counseling practicum, from your professors, from your classmates, and from your lessons.

Yet, allow me to tell you now that what you need to learn in psychology are not all found in the books or even in the classroom. Psychology’s greatest lessons will be revealed to you through experience, through curiosity, through asking, through exposure, and through your own daily lives.

In most cases, you will learn the hard way. The painful way. So please be open and let yourself learn, no matter how painful and emotional it can get. Allow yourself to grow in psychology and with psychology.

Here are a few things I have learned, and I hope you take them as unsolicited advices.

First, no one wants our services. It is the harsh truth. No one wants to buy what we sell. You will deal with people who seem interested in what you can offer, but in reality, they have their own agenda for seeking our help. Who wants to have psychological disorders, anyway? But we will, and we must help them. And in helping them, we help them get what they need and not what they want.

The people we love the most are that ones we cannot help. Ethically, we should not have dual relationships: a patient is a patient; a loved one, a loved one. You have to draw the line between your profession and your personal life. You are a friend to your friends and not a psychologist, the same way you are a psychologist to your patients and not anything else. You are a family member: a son, a daughter, a parent, a sibling. Do not cross that line. You may push it and bend it, but be careful because it is a thin line and it can break anytime.

In some situations, the people you expect to help you won’t help you. “You are a psych major, you can solve your problems”, they say. They too would think that we can be our own psychologist, and at times we have to tell them that sometimes, all we need is a friend.

You will have to deal with people you don’t like. You would have to understand everyone, even when you come to the point that understanding is the hardest thing to do. At one point you will realize that when someone does something that hurts you, you stop asking for apologies and you seek answers to understand why they did hurt you. And sometimes, that, too, hurts. Just keep understanding.

You will learn that everything you need to know are not always found in books. Most of what I have learned, I learned them outside the classroom. Go out of your comfort zones and experience psychology in your life. Just be careful not to psychologize everything.

At one point, you will have to relearn everything. Because you will learn that what you know is not what it is in real life and you have to unlearn things. One concrete example was when DSM-5 came out; we have to forget everything we knew from DSM-IV-TR. This is also true when you start your internship or start your work. Psychology is so complex and broad that every day is a new time to learn. You will soon find out that as much as you try, there are things that can never be learned. Be open.

Failure is important in success. When you make mistakes, you will learn. Don’t be afraid of mistakes because if you focus too much on perfection, you will not be able to do your job. Life is not an acheivement test.

You will learn that you are not supposed to cry. You will learn how to prevent yourself from crying. Yet, you will still cry. In our line of work, we deal with humanity’s worst experiences. You will deal with emotional experiences and it is not always easy to avoid letting our emotions get in the way. Being emotional in a therapy or counseling session does not make you a less of a professional but it tells you how to be a better one.

There will never be enough time to do everything you want to or need to do. You will also know that not everyone can be saved or helped. One day, you will remember those lives you’ve touched and those you haven’t. You will smile at the thought of someone you helped go through depression, just as you will feel bad about not being able to help another.

Lastly, in this field, the life we live may define the kind of professional we will be. It asks us to deal with our own issues and conflicts before we deal with others’.

Yes, it is difficult to be a psychology major. But trust me, it is a fulfilling experience. So I leave you with this:

Find your passion and let it direct you. I have always been proud to say that I have found mine. Psychology is my passion. It is not just my bread and butter (trust me it isn’t haha), it is in my blood. It is in my heart.

I always believe that the worst thing that can happen to someone is grow old and not find their passion, what can truly make them happy or, in Maslow’s term, be self-actualized. So find yours and let it guide you. You will never be lost and you will never have to force yourself to do something you don’t like. It makes everything easier, too.

Find a mentor. Mentorship has more benefits than what normal classroom interaction has. Find one and work with them, learn from them. Don’t be afraid to ask them for tasks that could help you learn. Be it a simple help in a topic they are researching or serving as an assistant to their lectures or seminars.

I am grateful to have found a mentor who helped me learn and become who I am today. I did simple tasks for him like making a PowerPoint for a talk he will do (only to find out during the seminar that I will be the one to actually deliver the talk), to researching data for his research, to big tasks as planning a whole training program. He was not my professor then and not even my boss, but I wanted to learn so I chose to learn from the best. At times he would make me do things I am not that ready for or confident enough for, like when he made me conduct the training for an intervention method of which he was the expert. I said no and that I was not ready but he said “If you don’t try, how will you know when you are ready?” He had been an inspiration and his respect to what I do and what I have done and his trust and belief in me opened opportunities for me. I really wouldn’t be where I am now had it not for his mentorship.

So find a mentor, find someone whose work and interests are the same as yours. Work with them and let them challenge you.

Always remember the good in humanity. No matter how bad the problems of your patients are or how evil they seem to be.

Never forget the child in you. Always remind yourself of that child.

Volunteer. It can help you learn.

Ask questions. Challenge ideas. It will help you understand more.

Experience. Go out of your comfort zone. Make the world your playground. Face your fears. Widen your social network (and this is not just Facebook, twitter or Instagram). Meet people, meet psychologists.

Specialize in an area. Focus on what you are interested on and specialize in it. Do not be like the others who are “jack of all trades, master of none”. Yes, knowing a lot means more opportunities, but quality is much better than quantity.

Read. Yes, I did say that not all answers are found in books. But read. Read. Read, read, read, and read more. You will know why when you start to read. As one of my undergrad professors would say “sleep with the authors, lie in bed with them”. Yes, he meant their books/works.

Lastly, psychology may not be the best field out there, but make it your best. Make it the best. Be your best.
