Reroll Guide

Reroll means that you make a new account and look at what you got from your scout. If you don't like your first few multi-pulls, you delete the account and create a new one again and so on until you are satisfied.
​
Why reroll?

• You're a new or returning player and you want to get your hands on meta Sync Pairs for easier clears.
• A favourite/meta Sync Pair has been released and you want to get him/her no matter what.

​
How to Reroll?
If you're an existing player, delete your local data or cache first. Otherwise, do not link your account to Nintendo. Doing so will bind your Pokémon Masters account to your Nintendo profile permanently and can no longer be removed.
As of now, if you progress up to the point when co-op mode is unlocked, you can get at least 21.000 gems, the equivalent of 7 multis, earning at least 231/400 scout points (33 scout points per multi scout), allowing you to scout at least 77 Sync Pairs.

If you are not satisfied with your pulls, click on the Poryphone at the right-bottom corner in the Pokémon Center -> Account -> Delete Save Data. Repeat the above steps until you pulled the Sync Pair you want.
Now that you're ready to go on an adventure, link your account through Poryphone Menu by tapping "Account", then "Link a Nintendo Account" to save your progress. After that, try to get any free Sync Pairs as you progress:

• Professor Oak & Mew: Complete his Sync Pair story and finish the bingo missions from Professor Oak & Mew Special Missions.
• Rosa & Serperior: Complete all bingo missions from "Rise to 6★ EX wtih Rosa!" and upgrade her to 6★ EX.
• Legendary Event Sync Pairs: Obtainable via Legendary Adventures. Reach the end of story to obtain the legendary Sync Pair, character-exclusive 5★ promotion tickets and event vouchers. Try to upgrade them to 5/5 20/20 as soon as possible and invest in their Sync Grids; they will be valuable assets for content clearing. Do note that exclusive materials such as Champion Spirit and Sync Grid expansion for these Sync Pair are only obtainable in event reruns, and hence event-limited.

In-Game FAQ

1. When is anniversary coming?
​

Half-year	28 February 6AM UTC
Full-year	28 August 6AM UTC

2 Why hasn't my Pokemon evolved? It's at Level [X]!
Evolution requires an evolution item available in the Training Area (Evolution Material Area). Upon earning the Evolution Materials, you need to go to the Sync Pair Stories to trigger the Evolution Story.
3. Should I save to do 11 multi-scouts instead of single scouts?
You can now get x11 units instead of 10, so yes, but we strongly recommend you to save gems for Poké Fair or Master Fair banners (which has a higher rate for 5★ characters).
4. How many gems are required to receive a Sync Pair of my choice?
36.600 non-paid gems (or 36.300 gems + 100 paid gems for a daily single pull), which is the equivalent of 400 scout points. Scout points do not carry over between banners.
5. What does [X]/5, [Y]/20, etc mean?
When you obtain a Sync Pair, they're at 1/5 Sync Move level. Rolling a dupe of that Sync Pair, or using a Move Candy will increase it by 1 level. 3/5 is the minimum for most sync pairs to complete their Sync Grid, but some Poké Fairs have grid expansions that require their Sync Move to be completely maxed out at 5/5 for their full Sync Grid.
At the same time, Sync Pairs are at 0/20 Potential when they're just obtained. Giving Sync Pairs Powerups will raise their Potential and stats. When a Sync Pair is given 20 powerups, their star level will be increased. Getting a unit to 5★ 20/20 is mandatory for it to further upgrade to 6★ EX (if it has one).
6. How do I Unlock The Level cap of my units?
Training Area (Cap Unlock Area), (Cap Unlock Area 2), Exchange in the shop, Events.
7. Where do I get the manuals to level up my sync pairs?
Training Area (Level up Area), Exchange in the shop, Events, random drops in Trainer Lodge.
8. How do I get Sync orbs?
Training Area (Sync orb Area), Exchange in the shop, Events, Champion Stadium Master Mode (6K & 7.5K), random drops in Trainer Lodge.
9. What are Theme Skill and how do I get items to power them up?
Theme Skill is a new ability that raises the stats of your Sync Pairs if any of them has a common position, type, region, trainer group, or other features with another pair (or pairs) in the same team. Skill Spheres, which can be obtained in Theme Skill area and Champion Stadium Master Mode, are required to upgrade them.
10. What Lucky Skill should I roll for [X]? How do I get Lucky Cookies and Scrolls to unlock a Sync Pair's Lucky Skill?
Refer to Sync Grid Builds & Lucky Skills (by u/MomoSpark) for more details.
In general, the choices of Lucky Skills follow the roles of Sync Pairs:

• Striker: Critical Strike 2 (3★ Crunchy, RECOMMENDED)
• Support: Vigilance (3★ Creamy), unless the Sync Pair already has Vigilance in his/her kit
• Tech:
  • Refer to Striker if the Sync Pair's kit is Striker-based (e.g. Marnie & Morpeko, May & Swampert, P Serena & Whimsicott, etc.)
  • Refer to Support if the Sync Pair's kit is a tanker and/or a healer (e.g. Prof Oak & Mew, SS Leaf & Venusaur, etc.)

There are exceptions to some Sync Pairs. For example,

• Iris & Haxorous favours Lessen Confusion 9 (2★ Crispy) to increase DPS under confusion with Confusion Boon 5 in grid.
• Serena & Delphox and most other sleep-inducing units favour Troublemaker 1 (3★ Crunchy) to increase the accuracy of sleep-inducing status moves.
• Zinnia & Rayquaza can go for either Dauntless (3★ Creamy) to mitigate SP ATK debuffs after each use of Draco Meteor, or Weather Surge 3 (3★ Deluxe) to stack with her weather-based multipliers.

Lucky Cookies and Lucky Scrolls can all be obtained in Battle Villa (Single Player & Co-op), Blissful Bonanza, and Legendary Gauntlet. Legendary Gauntlet can provide unlimited 3★ Lucky Cookies as well as Deluxe Cookies exclusive to that mode after each successful stage clear, and their drop chance increases with longer win streaks.
11. What are the Sync Move effects of 6★ EX Sync Pairs of different roles? Who should I promote to 6★ EX first?
Each role gives different effects to Sync Moves when upgraded to 6★ EX.

• Striker: Sync Move becomes AoE. (Its power is not reduced against multiple targets.)
• Support: Sync Move raises sync buff by +2 instead of +1 when it is used for the first time. (Each sync buff raises damage output by 50%.)
• Tech: Sync Move power x1.5

Support is usually prioritized for promotion to 6★ EX because its EX effect effectively doubles the damage of all allied sync pairs after first sync and is more widely applicable across most game modes, and the increased stats from raising the support's Potential greatly enhances its bulk to tank stages.
For Strikers, if their kit has a very high DPS (e.g. SS Red & Charizard, Diantha & Gardevoir, etc.), or includes a powerful Sync multiplier (e.g. Steven & Metagross's Haymaker, Barry & Empoleon's Inertia, etc.), you are highly recommended to upgrade them to 6★ EX to apply the damage to all opponents. This applies to Tech, but only if the unit is a Sync nuker (e.g. Marnie & Morpeko, May & Swampert, etc.).
Promoting Support-type units to 6★ EX is not a must, but it's always an added bonus, especially if their Sync Move can provide any additional effects via passive or grid skills.
Always remember to upgrade Rosa to 6★ EX because the materials are obtainable for free.
12. Which Sync Pair should I use my candy on?
Refer to Which Sync Pair Should You Give Your Candy To? (Infographic) (by u/MuddyDummy) for more details.
Always save your candies unless the Sync Pair is exclusive to Seasonals, Poké Fairs or Master Fairs. Most Sync Pairs are usable at 1/5. You can always "accidentally" pull the unit you've been looking for from the normal pool, but you never know when limited Sync Pairs will rerun again. This may not apply to Sync Pairs that are your favorite.

I apologize in advance for grammatical errors and if this post seemed kind of all over the place.
My (18f) mental health has been rapidly declining in just a few months. I have been through a lot I have 4 siblings I am the youngest. We were abandoned by our father while our mother was pregnant with me. Our mother never really was the caring loving type she got us the bare minimum and called it a day she didn’t like when we would talk to her she would get an attitude when I was younger and yell at me If I tried to speak to her while she was doing anything. She would spank us with objects such as wire hangers belts our toys ect (that kinda stopped tho after we all got older although she still will threaten to “be our ass” from time to time. My mom picks favorites (I am not one of them) she projects her issues onto us if she has a bad day at work she will come home and find the smallest thing wrong and flip out on us call us ungrateful spoiled abusive brats and then she will start to slam stuff and stomp around the house. She’s emotionally neglectful, and when you do go to her with private and sensitive information she cannot and will not keep it to herself. Because of my lack of an actual healthy parental figure in my life it has caused me to be susceptible to grooming. I have recently come to be able to admit that I was being groomed by my best friends uncle. He is 40+yo married with multiple kids. He always gave me such sweet vibes and was very comforting (I met him when I was 16) after a few months of knowing him I got his number and he would give me rides home from work, during these rides he would often grope me and say inappropriate things (even when I would push his hands off and ask him to stop) but I would continue to make excuses for him in my head because I just wanted that comforting parental figure. I was able to distance myself from him after I turned 18 and moved away for college, but I never told my friends or family about what he would say and do. I didn’t want to get him in trouble and I didn’t want to get blamed so I figured it would be easier to just keep it to myself. When I was back in my home town for winter break I was sexually assaulted by a friend of mine. TW I got drunk and he was “taking care of me, I let him sleep in the same bed as me but soon woke up to his hands down my pants I didn’t know what to do I continued to pretend to sleep for a few minutes (those minutes felt like years) when I realized he wasn’t going to stop I sat up and just left the room without saying anything. I ended up only telling 2 of my friends about it one I swore to secrecy and the other well she blocked me and hasn’t spoken to me since. After the assault I felt isolated and alone I tried to push what happened out sm so that at some points it feels like it wasn’t real like it was just a dream or like I wasn’t there (idk how to explain it I know logically it happened but another part of me is just detached from the whole situation). Anyways after the SA I couldn’t really sleep much I was exhausted and frustrated and just full of so many emotions. Because of my lack of sleep and intense emotions I ended up having an over the top mental breakdown over some slightly annoying comment my mom made to me before she went to work. I was sobbing in my room and just couldn’t stop I started to punch myself lin the legs and head and face (I used to do that when I was younger but hadn’t in a while) after a few hours of angry cries and hitting myself I fell asleep and just continued on as I was. I was trying my best to pretend like I was ok but with the feeling of so many emotions coursing through my body I started to cut my hands In hopes to cope, and after that first cut I haven’t been really able to stop I started cutting my palms and then moved onto my thighs. In this time I still pretended I was ok and went on as if nothing was wrong. I went back to college where I met my current boyfriend at the beginning of second semester and I like him a lot but he has pointed out to me some of my self destructive habits and behaviors of pushing him away and then pulling him back in when the fear of abandonment gets a little to much. I have noticed that I tend to go from liking him so much that I feel like I would die if he left to where I want to leave him and ruin him for doing something small like not answering my text fast enough. I don’t understand why I think this way, there will be a slight change in his tone and I will go through a wide range of emotions because of it. I go from hating him to loving him and needing him to be with me always. And because of these thoughts it’s made me look back on my previous relationships types (he’s my first real bf) but with my previous bsf’s I noticed I would act similarly towards them. But yeah I feel like this post is all over the place but I feel like my brain is constantly scattered so can someone please tell me what they think is wrong with me and why I’m so crazy. (I’m currently on antidepressants… I feel like they haven’t been helping tho)

Safe Investment Strategies in Australia That Offer High Fixed Returns

Have you built your savings to $100,000 or over beyond your living expenses and thinking of investing and creating a passive income in Australia on a regular basis for long-term financial goals or for your retirement. The motive of this blog is to give you some of the most direct and key options available in Australia that will help you invest and secure your future.

Safest Investment Choices in Australia

There is a couple of safe investment options, such as bonds and passive income sources like ETFs, dividend-paying equities, or a well performing rental property. Government issues bonds, which are regarded as low-risk assets, are the safest investment choice for Australians. These government-issued bonds are supported by the government’s complete trust and credit. Cash and term deposits, which guarantee a return on your investment but may yield lesser returns over time than other investments, are two additional safe investing possibilities.
However, we would like to narrow it down to everything that you need to know about some hidden property development projects and multiple investment choices that are out there around investing in properties that will yield you high returns and still be considered relatively risk-free.

Direct Property Investments

Let’s have a look at why a property can be a good investment option for Australians looking to generate monthly returns and build a steady passive income. Here are the reasons below.

Potential for capital gains

Since property values have a propensity to rise over time, investors may benefit by purchasing real estate at a discount and reselling it at a profit. This can result in sizable capital gains for investors, especially if they own the property for a long time.

Consistent Rental Income

Investing in real estate can also generate a stream of consistent rental income that investors can use to reduce their mortgage debt or generate extra income. Rents often rise in line with inflation, thus the rental income might likewise climb with time.

Tax Advantages

Investing in real estate may offer tax advantages, such as deductions for interest costs, depreciation, and other costs related to holding an investment property. Investors’ taxable income can be decreased, and their after-tax returns can be increased because of these tax advantages.

Leverage

By borrowing money to buy multiple properties, real estate can be leveraged to raise the possible return on investment.

Risks Involved in Buying an Investment Property in Australia

It is so important to do your research on various suburbs and their growth potential before buying an investment property. Some suburbs may have had a history of consistent growth but may have reached its peak. In this case, it is important to check the suburb’s current sale prices and also its current rental returns and see if it makes sense before investing.
Here is a list of the fastest growing suburbs across regional Australia according to open agent.

Research on Regional Suburbs to Maximize Growth

Alternatively, there could be pockets of suburbs all over Australia that are just about to grow because there is so much activity happening around those localities. For example, a suburb through government and private investors is building all the infrastructure required for it to have some serious growth such as schools, universities, sporting facilities, roads, train networks, and other transport options.
Here is an article from ABC which gives a clear indication of how people are flocking to regional suburbs across Australia.
If you dig deep into a particular suburb that might have some growth potential, you will even see new houses being built, blocks of land being sold at record prices, new businesses popping up everywhere including modern shopping centers, cafes, restaurants, etc.
There are greater risks and costs involved with borrowing and investing in a property. With all the negative news about interest rates rising in the last 6 months in the Australian property market, you might think bonds could be a safer and cheaper alternative. However, with proper guidance and research, real estate investment in the long term can increase your profits from capital gains and rental income.

Seasoned investors cashing in on indirect property investment option

While this is indeed true for many, investors require a certain degree of industry knowledge, skill, and luck to realize their real estate goals. The Australian market has many experienced property investors, landlords, and professional developers, and for some, the sector can appear saturated and confusing when considering investing in a property. This is where investing in a development project works way better than buying a property.

Here is how property development investment works

There are property developers across Australia that are developing infrastructure required for a development. In most cases, they are in the infant stage of their development and would need a lot of private investment to develop the project. During this stage, they offer a significant return on investment to potential investors. There are so many such developments across our beautiful country and may land us in real trouble if we invested in the wrong project.

Advantages of Indirect Property Investments

· Indirect property investment has a number of advantages when compared to direct property investment, including:
· Lower up-front capital investment
· No stamp duty costs
· No repayment in interest
· Reduction in maintenance and fees involved such as plumbing, electrical work, gardening that goes into managing a property
· Lesser capital loss if the investment does not work out.

What Can An Investor Do To Get This Right?

Experienced and sophisticated Australian investors know the exact suburbs that are booming since they are extensively researching through their own network. So, when doing your research, look more towards regional Australia because this has been the trend ever since COVID, and this seems to be the way to go. Look for opportunities where a significant portion of the land has already been sold and see the price growth that it has had over a period of time. This is often an indication that the location has been growing steadily.

Fixed Investment Opportunity with Star Investment

Going with the theme from the above data, Star Investment is now offering a 12% return on your investment paid monthly plus a 10% capital growth on your investment on a five-year term. With Star Investment, your investment goes towards a waterfront development project in Moe, Gippsland, Victoria.

What has the waterfront development project @ Lake Narracan achieved so far

The Lake Narracan Resort Development project has seen massive growth in the last couple of years, including sales skyrocketing and reaching $23 million dollars, $125 million in GDV, and with 70% in Stage (1-6) now sold out, there is no looking back.

Why is investing with Star Investment risk-free?

Your capital is 100% safe and secure, with $5.7 million dollars raised in investments. Star Investment is an SMSF approved business and your direct investment partner, which means you receive all the benefits. There is a fixed return of 12% per annum paid monthly and paid on the 1st of every month.

Our Final Thoughts

You may work towards accumulating long-term wealth and reaching your financial objectives with the appropriate direction and a disciplined strategy. Before making any investment decisions, it’s crucial to get crucial financial guidance to learn about generating sustainable passive income in Australia. Whether you are an avid investor or a first-time potential investor looking for the best investment opportunities out there, you know that investing can be a valuable tool, and it is important to take the time to explore and research what’s out there in the Australian investment market today, and we hope that this blog will guide you in the right direction and help you make the right investment decisions.

Investments Come With No Guarantees

It’s essential to acknowledge that no investment comes without risk, and even so-called safe investments carry their own set of risks. For instance, the inflation rate may rise over time, causing the buying power of even the most secure savings to diminish. It’s important to note that the information and advice provided here are general in nature and should not be considered a substitute for independent financial advice. It’s recommended that readers seek expert advice before making their financial decisions and investments.

I’ve been into this for my whole life, always brought it up in my relationships and got a positive reception but then it always ended up with vanilla sex, me having to bring it up again, and still nothing happening.
this has been happening forever, and it’s why I have no real life experience.
now I’m in another LTR and again, had the talk. this time was different.
he started clearly saying that yeah, he wasn’t into this, and that he was unwilling to give it a try. I said ok, there’s no point if he doesn’t want to. And I felt so frustrated and sad about it.
then the next day he wanted to talk with me.
he confessed that this is actually a huge kink of his, that it’s his go-to when he’s by himself, but he’s scared about it because for him it’s actually more of like extreme play, rough sex, physical pain, and that he’s afraid of the “darkness” that comes with it. he doesn’t know how to actually separate the sex dom side of it from everything else.
which is why he doesn’t want to try, he wouldn’t ever want to get to that point with me and doesn’t want to fuck up.
I tried to explain to him what I understand about how it works, about boundaries, about how communication and safe wording… but then he says that he feels that he’s not into “performing” or role playing. I explain to him that’s why we needed all of those things I mentioned before, so that it could be something in between having vanilla sex or just having no boundaries at all.
now I feel so lost. finally someone actually wants to try but it feels he doesn’t get it at all. he also said he’s not into bondage or anything like that at all, which… sucks because that’s a huge turn on for me. so clearly for him it’s all physical, while for me that’s a part of it, the other being the psychological side, which I feel without it I just couldn’t get into subspace. I just feel like he needs to “earn” my submissiveness… not in a brat way, but I just don’t know how to explain it better. I have my needs, and this felt like just replacing mine for his because there’s some overlap?
he also doesn’t ever initiates and needs lots of time of slow foreplay to get into it, which makes the whole thing even more “weird”, and he said that it’s also why he doesn’t even know how it would work.
how do we proceed? is this just another way to give me hope that I could finally have kink in my life but not really? I feel like I would just do whatever he wants and not get anything I want really.
I’m confused and really would like to get some advice or feedback. and yes we’ve been together for years and we love each other, just to be clear.

4 weeks pp & have some pain in right breast for about 2 weeks now. I EBF and also pump since I am an oversupplier. The pain is like a burning sensation on my nipple but also in my breast. I took baby to pediatrician and said it doesn't look like thrush but could be after explaining my symptoms. I also noticed a white head pimple on my nipple so I'm assuming it's a milk bleb? does a milk bleb cause this kind of pain? Could it be possible baby is not latching correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I apologize in advance for grammatical errors and if this post seemed kind of all over the place.
My (18f) mental health has been rapidly declining in just a few months. I have been through a lot I have 4 siblings I am the youngest. We were abandoned by our father while our mother was pregnant with me. Our mother never really was the caring loving type she got us the bare minimum and called it a day she didn’t like when we would talk to her she would get an attitude when I was younger and yell at me If I tried to speak to her while she was doing anything. She would spank us with objects such as wire hangers belts our toys ect (that kinda stopped tho after we all got older although she still will threaten to “be our ass” from time to time. My mom picks favorites (I am not one of them) she projects her issues onto us if she has a bad day at work she will come home and find the smallest thing wrong and flip out on us call us ungrateful spoiled abusive brats and then she will start to slam stuff and stomp around the house. She’s emotionally neglectful, and when you do go to her with private and sensitive information she cannot and will not keep it to herself. Because of my lack of an actual healthy parental figure in my life it has caused me to be susceptible to grooming. I have recently come to be able to admit that I was being groomed by my best friends uncle. He is 40+yo married with multiple kids. He always gave me such sweet vibes and was very comforting (I met him when I was 16) after a few months of knowing him I got his number and he would give me rides home from work, during these rides he would often grope me and say inappropriate things (even when I would push his hands off and ask him to stop) but I would continue to make excuses for him in my head because I just wanted that comforting parental figure. I was able to distance myself from him after I turned 18 and moved away for college, but I never told my friends or family about what he would say and do. I didn’t want to get him in trouble and I didn’t want to get blamed so I figured it would be easier to just keep it to myself. When I was back in my home town for winter break I was sexually assaulted by a friend of mine. TW I got drunk and he was “taking care of me, I let him sleep in the same bed as me but soon woke up to his hands down my pants I didn’t know what to do I continued to pretend to sleep for a few minutes (those minutes felt like years) when I realized he wasn’t going to stop I sat up and just left the room without saying anything. I ended up only telling 2 of my friends about it one I swore to secrecy and the other well she blocked me and hasn’t spoken to me since. After the assault I felt isolated and alone I tried to push what happened out sm so that at some points it feels like it wasn’t real like it was just a dream or like I wasn’t there (idk how to explain it I know logically it happened but another part of me is just detached from the whole situation). Anyways after the SA I couldn’t really sleep much I was exhausted and frustrated and just full of so many emotions. Because of my lack of sleep and intense emotions I ended up having an over the top mental breakdown over some slightly annoying comment my mom made to me before she went to work. I was sobbing in my room and just couldn’t stop I started to punch myself lin the legs and head and face (I used to do that when I was younger but hadn’t in a while) after a few hours of angry cries and hitting myself I fell asleep and just continued on as I was. I was trying my best to pretend like I was ok but with the feeling of so many emotions coursing through my body I started to cut my hands In hopes to cope, and after that first cut I haven’t been really able to stop I started cutting my palms and then moved onto my thighs. In this time I still pretended I was ok and went on as if nothing was wrong. I went back to college where I met my current boyfriend at the beginning of second semester and I like him a lot but he has pointed out to me some of my self destructive habits and behaviors of pushing him away and then pulling him back in when the fear of abandonment gets a little to much. I have noticed that I tend to go from liking him so much that I feel like I would die if he left to where I want to leave him and ruin him for doing something small like not answering my text fast enough. I don’t understand why I think this way, there will be a slight change in his tone and I will go through a wide range of emotions because of it. I go from hating him to loving him and needing him to be with me always. And because of these thoughts it’s made me look back on my previous relationships types (he’s my first real bf) but with my previous bsf’s I noticed I would act similarly towards them. But yeah I feel like this post is all over the place but I feel like my brain is constantly scattered so can someone please tell me what they think is wrong with me and why I’m so crazy. (I’m currently on antidepressants… I feel like they haven’t been helping tho)

July 1519
Awash in the golden grandeur of an early July morning, a procession of four battle-scarred yet triumphant men had announced their arrival, their presence heralded by a procession of wagons that had groaned under the weight of war machinery. These Spanish titans of battle, carrying the scars of recent brutal confrontations against the French in Naples and the Venetians shortly after, had worn their honor and duty as effortlessly as they bore their swords. They had been a formidable ensemble, composed of Pedro Navarro, Hugo de Moncada, Fernando Francesco d'Ávalos, and Fernando de Andrade das Marinas, names that had rung with valor and glory.
Embarking on a journey rich with tales of war and wisdom, these brave men had arrived at the opulent court of Charles V, the King of the Romans. The youthful monarch, a familiar figure from his tender days amidst the vibrant lands of Castile and Aragon, had warmly welcomed these paragons of war, offering them a period of rest to replenish their strength for the formidable task ahead.
As a tranquil week passed, the grand court had begun to fill with dignitaries from across the Reich. Illustrious figures such as Götz von Berlichingen, Reinhard zu Solms, and the English monarch, Henry Tudor, had journeyed across the vast stretches of the Empire, each endeavoring to decipher the complexities of the recent Neapolitan conflict. They had sought to absorb the strategic acumen and tactical mastery that the Spanish had brandished to usurp the French control over the Kingdom.
Pedro Navarro, the audacious Commander who had steered the Spanish forces, and Hugo de Moncada, the judicious Viceroy of Sicily during the war, had taken upon themselves the charge of leading these eminent minds through the labyrinth of war strategies. They had woven together a comprehensive tapestry of military tactics, sharing this hard-earned wisdom with those who might be called upon to lead armies of their own in the future. Navarro had expertly discussed the art of selecting strategic battlefields, erecting fortifications to counteract French knights and infantry, and overarching campaign and battle maneuvers. His teachings had extended to the arena of siege warfare, where he had unveiled the forward-thinking tactics of artillery use. Highlighting the Spanish shift towards prioritizing light, mobile artillery for maximum battlefield efficacy, he had underscored the transformative power of this tactical shift, as demonstrated in the battle of 1515. Furthermore, he had unveiled the secrets of the siege from recent bouts against Venice and France, elucidating the innovative deployment of mines, Musketeers, other gunmen, and concentrated artillery use.
While the court of leaders had plunged themselves into the intricate depths of warfare strategy, the seasoned Spanish captains, D'Ávalos and das Marinas, both hardened by the forge of battle, had set out on a distinctive mission. They had endeavored to demystify Spanish combat techniques, demonstrating how their soldiers battled and how their captains commanded during the horrors conflict. To give their lessons palpable substance, a regiment of Landsknechts was assembled, transforming theory into tangible practice and sowing the seeds of novel strategies in the fertile ground of martial skill.
Simultaneously, they had unveiled the fruits of innovative armament. The most striking among these had been the Musket, a fearsome beast of war, towering over six feet in length, capable of unleashing destructive projectiles weighing more than two ounces. This beast's formidable power could pierce through two complete sets of armor in a single deafening eruption. D'Ávalos had taken the reins of this part of the training, illustrating to the captains the integration of the Musket within the Landsknechts formation and coordinating smaller, self-reliant Musketeer units. These units had operated outside the protective sphere of the pike formation, yet they had relied upon it as a safeguard against enemy combatants and knights.
Fernando de Andrade das Marinas, a virtuoso of warfare, had assumed the task of instructing the Landsknechts. His curriculum had extended beyond mere weapon usage; it had delved into the labyrinth of battle strategies, exhibiting the ruthless efficiency of Spanish swordsmen. Although the Landsknechts had not fully adopted the Spanish buckler or swords, they had substantially borrowed from these teachings, learning how to deal crippling blows to enemy formations, thus adding a potent layer to their martial capabilities.
Das Marinas had initiated them into the Spanish art of close combat, demonstrating the intricate ballet of attack and defense, the deadly interplay between sword and buckler. He had educated them on the Spanish preference for smaller, nimble swords that facilitated rapid strikes and defenses, a marked shift from the cumbersome, slow weapons preferred by many of the Landsknechts.
The core of his teachings had focused on exploiting the vulnerabilities in enemy armor, showing the Landsknechts how precise, well-targeted strikes could bring even the most armored knight to his knees. He had further emphasized the importance of cohesive teamwork on the battlefield, explaining how the terrifying prowess of the swordsmen could complement the deadly accuracy of the Musketeers and the defensive stronghold of the pikemen.
Moreover, das Marinas had stressed the importance of morale and discipline, elements often undervalued in the heat of battle. He had urged the Landsknechts to maintain their formations under the most intense duress, to strike fearlessly yet also to strategically retreat when necessary, and above all, to protect their brethren-in-arms.
The wisdom imparted by das Marinas, along with the military innovations introduced by the other Spanish commanders, had the potential to redefine the Landsknechts' approach to warfare. Inspired by the Spanish victories and their effective strategies and tactics, the Landsknechts had been ready to embrace this new epoch of military thought, to learn from their allies, and to bolster their strength in the face of shared adversaries. The infusion of Spanish martial knowledge had heralded a new dawn in the Landsknechts' military doctrine, one that promised to alter the trajectory of their future battles.

Well I'm Austin and I'm 16 y/o i tried acid for the first time with my brother and it started off with a tab each at 9pm on a Friday night. I had tried shrooms 3-4 times previously and I knew that acid was far more intense because I watch psyched substance lol(and I had plenty of insight from my brother) Anyways, around 20 minutes after we took the first tab , we said f#ck it and took another one. We figured might as well since i didnt want to feel like I missed out on anything. It all hit around 10:30 pm after we went to my sister's to grab some lasagna my dad sent with me when my sister and brother picked me up that night. we were having a blast dying laughing at the smallest things, it was so insane the feelings of being out of my body but still in it at the same time lol. My brother attempted to warm uo the lasagna but they didnt work because we were tripping so hard. My brother was sitting there with a fork in hand poking the lasagna with it in the oven and oven on. Yes I know how this could have went really bad and it almost did. As we sat there in the kitchen dying laughing watching my brother poke lasagna with the oven cranked on high, the though came over me what if we burn the house down, cause by this time we were starting to peak and I felt like I was losing control. I gasped after I thought this but it didn't send me spiraling into a bad trip as my brother heard me gasp and seen that I had this spooked look on my face. It didn't effect my trip what so ever. So I settled with a cup of lucky charms with a plate under neath because I could barely eat right lmao. I regret choosing lucky charms as a food to eat on acid because my mouth and jaw felt so sore. After i ate, we settled down watching funny youtube videos. Later in the night around 2am, my brother was ready to passout as both our trips were coming to and end and we were ready to crash, at least he was. As fascinated as I was and how good the trip went for me, i decided on taking another 2 tabs. My brother said to me "its up to you man, im all good, im going to bed. So i decided to drop the other two of course. After my brother watched me eat the other two, he said "you better buckle up". my brother fell asleep soon after but would turn over in bed to check on me because my body was (for lack of a better term) trembling or twitching mixed with slight giggles from the amount of acid I took and my body felt so stiff. I was completely fine and felt safe cause I knew it was just the acid. My brother finnaly passes out for good around 3am so that left me and his two dogs. I got bored of laying in bed so i went and sat on the couch I the living room as I waited for the tabs to hit me and the dogs basically huddled up in a little ball with me on the coach lol. It's so strange how animals act towards you when your tripping on psychedelics, especially shrooms. So after we huddle up , all I remember was me sitting there facing towards the curtains of the living room window. It was about 4am when I started staring at the window .I remember being so stiff, all I felt like doing was staring at curtains. And that was the last thing I remembered up until around 6 :30am. I'm still very curious till this day as to where my mind went for that long duration of time. I know I didn't sleep because when I clicked back Into or whatever the hell you wanna call it, I hadn't moved not a single muscle. All i remember is it being dark outside rhe window, and then boom, there was daylight. It was going on 7am and I finnaly got up and moved from the coach. I felt so so weird, words could not explain besides it felt like it wasn't my body that I was in. I went back to my brother's room to see him still sound asleep. Then I remembered I have a phone lmao, I hadn't touched it at all that night, as soon as I got on it, I texted my sister instantly because i wanted to share what i had experienced or try to. I thought it was crazy that as soon as I woke up and texted her , this was the exact time she had woke up, she said this herself. for the record my sister lives right next door to my brother as it was a triplex building. I told her I was walking over and it was going on 8am at this time. I was still tripping but no visuals , just feeling like a spaghetti noodle is the only way I can explain it lol. She thought I was insane because I told her about how much I had took. All together , I took 4 tabs of lsd, which I think is quite a bit now looking back for a first lsd/acid trip. We smoked a bowl of weed and chilled for a little while until my brother woke up. At this time it was 10am, and I still felt like I had woke up a hour ago, i was energized so me and my brother ended up deep cleaning his house for two hours. We were "geekin"as my brother called it because I know damn well ihadnt slept and we were cleaning every little spot of dirt or gunk we seen. Around 12 pm , I finnaly started to get a little bit tired, so I took a shower. Water be feeling some type of way on acid I tell you , but don't expect me to explain it cause I can't lol. I took a shower , my brother had warmed up sea food so I ate and crawled into bed at 1pm. Finnsly my I crashed and I slept for a total of 18 hours , tripping for a total of 16 hours straight , and was awake for a total of 31 hours. I woke up the next day at 7am feeling so so amazing , so clear headed, and better than I have ever felt in my life. I hope you enjoyed my little trip report on tripping acid at 16y/o
Let me know your thoughts, if you have any questions, please ask and I will reply to the best of my abilities.

This is quite a long post, but we just started dating a few days ago and we are currently on a long distance relationship. It all started fine as we bonded really well, especially when discussing about our personal interests and views. I enjoyed his company and I really cared for him, so I wanted to be there for him and respond to his needs. Because we are on an LDR, we started sexting when both of us got horny. However, he got horny every single day since we first sexted, and expected me to join in when I clearly and explicitly said I was not in the mood because I was tired.
So this happened a few days ago. I had to do some errands since the morning, and I was exhausted when I finally returned home in the evening. We were still chatting normally. I told him that I had been doing errands and was really tired, so I just wanted to chat and spend some time with him because I really enjoyed his company. He replied back by telling me that "we" can cure my exhaustion by sexting. I politely refused and said that I was too tired to sext that day.
Even though I was too tired to sext, I still reassured him that I'll still be online to talk and accompany him if he wanted to talk/vent anything. Despite this, he kept pressuring me to undress myself and take suggestive pictures for him. I kept refusing and he snapped. He started gaslighting me, saying things like I ruined his life and that I didn't care for him. He also guilt-tripped me, saying things like he was already hard and now he had to jack himself off because I left him. I never left him though. I kept trying to reassure him that I do care for him, but I was just tired to sext on that particular day.
We ended up having a really big argument because of that, and he kept making me second guess myself and my intentions. I never meant to hurt him by refusing to sext. I was just really tired on that day and I just wanted him to understand.
The argument ended up being really heated and he started to blame me for everything. I kept on trying to explain and reassure him that I still cared for him and would respond to his needs, but I was just unavailable to sext that day.
I finally gave up when he said a particularly hateful and insensitive sentiment towards me. I just wanted to end the relationship right there and then.
He didn't allow me to do that. He started being so kind and reassuring that we can get through this rough patch, and our relationship should not end. Of course I refused. Several arguments later, he still prevented me from going out of this toxic relationship.
I'm aware that he has been gaslighting me to get his ways. I tried my best to talk things through with him by carefully choosing my words during our chats. I did everything to leave, but I still can't. What should I do? I'm so lost right now.
Again, sorry for the long post, but thank you in advance for any replies.

I just want to hear your opinions on why do you think out of the 11 B-rank Captains, 8 of them weren't chosen and 3 of the B-rank agents were chosen as a provisionary captains instead of their captains (except for Murakami since he and his captain, Kuruma were both chosen), along with adding 4 A class rank agents which 2 of them became captains.
I could understand why they didn't chose Azuma since there's no need to really "train" him unlike the others. While for captains like Yuba and Arafune, I'm not really seeing any reasons on why they shouldn't have been picked in the first place.
While captains like Kageura, Ikoma, and Katori who weren't chosen and instead their teammates were it's because in Ikoma Squad, Mizukami is the one who actually leads his team in the Rank Wars while Ikoma does whatever he wants, same with Kitazoe who fully supports his team by making smart moves as Kageura and Emma do whatever they want to do in the arena. Same with Katori Squad (although it only happened on the final B-rank War), rough and unpolished Wakamura might have that 2nd-in-command inside him that just needs to be trained and polished, and Katori did show that she can listen to her teammates if need be.
While for Osamu, I'm guessing it's because he's young and inexperienced and wants him to be mentored by someone older and experienced like Suwa, who is one of the oldest agent at Border. While Utagawa and Kodera are showing promises that they can lead a squad if need be.
I know that it isn't simple as this, since the test affects the "Future of the whole Border Organization", that they don't only affect the Away Mission, but also the Management part of it.
