@Dunkatog @ringdingdingo Have been debating this in my local community for the day, so thanks for the answer. Any chance of an update to 406.3b to reflect this? Since this is the result we expected/wanted but .3b trips up by stipulating 'with certain qualities' which suggests it can't apply here.

@Joostisgewoon @AnneArdon Geldt niet als inkomen voor inkomstenbelasting nee. Voor uitkeringen worden mensen helaas wettelijk uitgekleed, en bij veel gemeenten telt letterlijk *alles* als inkomen dat men had moeten melden. Krijg je een potje groenten of knakworst van de buren of familie? Inkomen! Melden!

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@BiIIGay @AnneArdon Dit kost de Gemeenten vele malen meer dan dat ze aan (vaak door onwetendheid/onhandigheid) fraude terugvorderen. Zou ons sieren die luttele euros te laten voor wat het is en ambtenaren op die afdelingen voor het grootste deel in te zetten waar wel geld weggegooid wordt.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@AnneArdon Pijnlijk. We zouden alle bijstands-fraude afdelingen bij gemeentes moeten halveren en alleen de ergste verdenkingen onderzoeken. Pakt er dan een bijstandsgerechtigde hier en daar wat euros die ze wettelijk niet zouden mogen hebben? Zeker. Kost ons dat maatschappelijk iets? Nee.

@tobyelliott @minor_deviation @Dunkatog Just to be clear, I'm not advocating for making them missed triggers, just that players 'feel' like they are that during calls. But maybe a downgrade or some other semi-smooth option in terms of GRVs when sagas are concerned so that less players stack up to game losses on them.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@Dunkatog Not even sure you're the right person to reach for MtG policy. But now that Competitive events are well back in swing, as a head judge for a bunch of them I struggle with a certain recent development: Players forgetting their Saga turn based action. 1/3

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@Dunkatog a day of playing is much more punitive. Is it time to consider some sort of exception or change to the IPG to account for this? Or do we hope that eventually through many 'feels bad' game losses, players will learn to be very mindfull of their sagas? 3/3

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@Dunkatog My problem is this: There are a lot of sagas in competitive metas. The turn based action is fairly easy to miss and to players they feel like missed triggers. Except, they are a turn based action and result in a GRV warning. And the penalty for stacking a few of those over 2/3

Dus @PostNL doet tegenwoordig geen niet thuis briefje meer in je brievenbus, ze schrijven gewoon op je deur waar ze het pakketje dat niet naar de buren mag gedumpt hebben. Waar declareer ik professionele schoonmaak kosten of een verf beurt @PostNL ?

@jack51miles @JaraohTJ @Ali_hassanein @MonteCristo Dude, it's called 'worlds' not 'the best teams from lpl lck only'. Following your logic not a single minor region should be present either. Stat some actual intelligence the next time you roll a character.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@jack51miles @JaraohTJ @Ali_hassanein @MonteCristo That's not how that works though. It's based on previous years results, not what they expect the region strength to be right now. And worlds is a joke based on one slot going to one region over another? A single team changes worlds? Your logic is a joke.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@ForeignGam3r @MonteCristo I never said you were a mad fan, quite the opposite. I said you base your dislike of the format on your favourite team not making it, which would be misfits based on your earlier tweet.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@ForeignGam3r @MonteCristo Just because your favourite didn't make it doesn't make the format bad. Misfits had 2 shots based on 1-2 bo1s which gave them 4th instead of 5/6, so by your logic fnc and excel should complain harder because they had no second chance bo5s ever.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@Kusanag07565223 @MarvinF95 @MonteCristo You can have 400 extra formats ready, doesn't matter, you can't change that format mid split.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@cokguezel01 @fanofEUlcs @MonteCristo You can't change a playoffs format 2/3rds into the split. You just cannot, legally but also for competitive integrity. That would be like changing worlds knock-out stage while groups is half played already.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@jack51miles @JaraohTJ @Ali_hassanein @MonteCristo "was a disaster" eh, how? You know this is performance based right? LEC had 4 seeds because they outperformed LCK the year before that, then LCK performed again and got 4 seeds next year. Disaster where?? Just normal stuff.

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

@JordaneLacombe @SanPop_mtgo @LegacyEUTour Saw this notification late, but yes, we tried to find you during the last round of the event but when that didn't work we gave the deck with possible names (based on tables found) to the Lost and Found. Glad it made its way back to you eventually!

[Arjen de Jong @Arjen_J]

What is the 'are you a robot' captcha equivalant for service desk phone numbers? I think after 53 minutes of 'please hold the line'-tape we are able to conclude the @lufthansa servicedesk is in fact just a tape recording pretending to be a servicedesk right? No human found.

@Greenwheels Hoi Greenwheels, ik probeer een account aan te maken maar jullie website heeft het er maar moeilijk mee en doet continue dit na alle verificaties goedgekeurd te hebben (en refresht daarna heel vaak en snel de pagina uit zichzelf en loopt dan soms vast):
