Operation Giftdrop is off to a rocky start. I can't find anything that I think my wife will love.

Updated with actual info Monks and Mystics is the latest expansion to Crusader Kings II, the hit medieval grand strategy role-playing game from Paradox Development Studio. In Monks and Mystics, the religious aspect of the game is further explored with new mechanics and character associations that can tie a faith closer together or render it asunder. The major feature of Monks and Mystics is the addition of Societies – secret and otherwise. Characters can join monastic orders, secret cults and Gnostic heresies. As the society gains members, it gains power and prestige for its leaders. Societies open new actions for characters and can lead to new event paths. Monks and Mystics includes: Monastic Orders: With lay offices available to non-clerical characters, monastic orders will increase your character’s piety - but they have expectations. Cults: Gnostic heresies may flourish and its is rumored that the worship of Satan continues in the darkened fringes of the world Climb the Ranks: Characters work their way up the ladder of Societies, unlocking new abilities and triggering new event chains Hunt for Heretics: Send your chaplain out to find secret societies that undermine the holy church and your realm. But what if the hunter is guilty himself? Other New Councillor Actions: Your councillors have a fourth action that will make them more powerful and integral to sound rulership And much more: Assassins, archaeological expeditions, holy relics, great treasures and more

Let's talk about sects, baby

Ugh they did exactly that, nerfed the CXP from mobs rather than lower the weekly cap Brilliant Time to take another long break from this game

Having been divorced myself I'm of the mind that divorce is always a good thing simply because happy couples and people with a good marriage don't get divorced. Simplistic I know but I'm pretty simple And I tend to go for crazies That said, sorry to hear that GD and I hope it all works out for the best for you

I don't know if he's even done any of the new content. Whatever he was grinding was old content because the only new content is the 9 chapters and uprisings and neither offer that much CXP. He's just crazy about getting new gear I guess I just hope that they don't cut CXP for kills because that would really hurt those of us who can't grind mobs like it's a full time job. If they want to limit it further then I think the should just lower the weekly cap

Supposedly someone hit the weekly CXP cap already and is at rank 100. The claim is that they did it grinding elites and champions for something like 15 hours the first day nonstop to rank 43 then got the rest the following two days. The math seems a little off even with botting so I dunno. Even with disintegrating every RNG item I'm not sure where to find a place that densely packed with elites and champs to net 318k CXP in 3 days, an OP or HM FP maybe? But would that be soloable? Grinding mobs the most steady stream of CXP I've found so far even after running a dozen uprisings. But I'm so bored with it now that I'm thinking of unsubbing for a while Edit - I take it back, I can totally see it now that I have more details Edit2 - it was just open world nonstop grinding in a raid. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=901598&page=10My guess for leaving the galaxy would either be the reapers or just becausehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvHhPGl8_W4So the 1-2 women in your deployment didnt do the same physical training you did which I would expect ? The reason I ask is in movies like Full Metal Jacket you see this, IMO, really rigorous basic training that marines are subjected to and I am genuinely wondering if a women would be able to compete at the same level as men? 4 Let me ask the question a different way. When you were in Iraq were the women doing the same job as you as direct deployment or did they do other jobs like signals, medical, transport , intelligence etc. From what I recall (I've never seen the movie proper just clips here and there) the FMJ training scenes take place in boot camp and as I said boot camp is separate for men and women so I have no idea what they do. When I was in some their fitness standards were lower than ours in the physical and combat fitness tests that we did the same but I don't know how that's changed since I've been out. As far as competing against men then it depends what it is. A couple women in my company were always at or near the top when it came to the rifle range and run times and one could max out the male PFT pull ups and all. Were they weaker than men in general? Yes, of course they were as the average man is stronger than the average woman In Iraq it didn't really matter as everybody does their job, whatever it is, at the risk of their life because there were no safe spaces... hell even the small church on post took IDF more than once. Combat roles were not open to women at the time but that did not mean that they never saw combat or were out of dangerI wouldn't force women to fight in the first place. There's no equality on this issue, men are natural killers, women are not. If they volunteer, that's a different story. This. I thinking drafting women is uncivilized for a number of reasons. If they want to fight, ok, but they have to be placed in suitable combat situations. Front lines or close quarter combat, they just wouldn't be as effective. Also, women combatants would have much more to lose if they were captured by the likes of Isis. You guys do realize that the military isn't entirely infantry and special forces, right? Most women would not qualify for those roles, hell, a lot of men don't even qualify for them This is making me think it's even a better idea than I did before because hopefully people like you would then oppose any unnecessary war that might require a draft Shady when you trained for the marines before you were deployed how many women did the marine training in your unit? Basic training and combat training are segregated but your MOS(military job) school is coed. Field exercises and weapons training are coed as well but often you are not with just your unit especially with larger exercises. There weren't many women in my unit but I couldn't give you an exact count, my platoon had 1 or 2 depending on the deploymentI wouldn't force women to fight in the first place.
