Re: Miriani: Once Again So I have decided to try Miriani once again. My characters name on their is Jimmy Parker. Which isnt my real name but anyways, so far knock on wood, I havent had any trouble. Ive actually managed to make a few in game friends.If anyone on this forum wants to look me up in game they can. I do have a question how do I join an organization? Is it an RP thing? I dont say much over coms, though I do say good morning and stuff over chatter. Question is it wise to just wait for missions or ask people to run some?

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again Even were that to be the case, which I agree sounds a lot more useful, there remains the fact that the bounty hunter AI doesnt seem able to destroy bountied ships with any real frequency. It may discourage pirates from hovering in a sector for a long time, assuming there are bounty hunters about which isnt always the case, but with clever use of flight control scanners they can tell where potential targets are and go after them without the need to wait around in space for bounty hunters to shoot at them.I would also point out that theres a heavy element of luck involved. I would suspect that Nocturnus simply hasnt had the misfortune to be put in that position, perhaps you simply dont play at the same times as these players? Timezones can play an important factor in this as well.

Re: Miriani: Once Again Alright, fair enough. Honestly, none of this was meant to antagonize or admonish anyone, though I seem to be doing a good job of it as of late with stuff I write on this forum. My personal hope has always been to help others within this community on every front, including understanding what theyre up against when they choose to take on a game like Miriani, which is one of the main reasons I started playing this one again,. I didnt intend for this to become a controversial debate.A group of players seems to have emerged who are currently engaged in all out warfare against every aspect of miriani, including the jumpgates and planets themselves, flying from sector to sector and firing on them at will, taking advantage of the fact that cargo haulers are industrial ships rather than gunning them with more powerful crafts, losing one and then spending the credits to buy another because they are so inexpensive. I hope thatll answer the ques tion as to why the automated bounty ships cant really keep up with everyone. It took the efforts of two pilots in BCs plus a bounty collector ship to finally finish off one of these cargo haulers, not because of any lack of their experience, but because the ship kept exiting and reentering the sector, or landing and launching when it was near enough to a pad to do so. When they finally did destroy the craft in question, the offending pilot behind all of this chaos went and bought yet another hauler and commenced fire on the planets and the gates once more. I dont precisely know what happened after that, but my guess is that someone finally reported it to highguard command because that ship was shot down as well and the pilot put in jail. Roughly nine hours later, yet another pilot took upon the same task. Whatever has sparked this kind of behavior is beyond me, but it does seem rather pointless and the pilots in question have proven th ey will stop at nothing, including chasing down and firing upon BCs because they have little to lose by losing a cargo hauler.I think this will be my final post on this subject. Maybe the timing is all wrong for me to attempt something like this, but I wanted to say I tried. My sincerest and most humble apologies for any inconvenience I may have implicitly or explicitly caused.

Re: Miriani: Once Again Nocturnus, honestly, it seems to me that you are very resourceful and clever, and most people, sorry to insult, but...Most people are not. Perhaps this is why you are doing so well in the game.Myself, I havent had time, and indeed will continue to not have time, to play in any meaningful way. To put it into perspective, Ive been a new pilot since late 2012. It is now mid 2014. So...Ive not been connected long enough to experience anything like this, but from the discussion so far, it seems to me that – and someone correct me if Im wrong – automated bounty hunter ships patrol sectors and try to destroy ships with large bounties? My question, if this is correct, is this: why do they not go after the people who own the ships? As has already been stated, going after ships themselves can be pointless, but if, say, a certain ship contained Pirate X, would it not be prudent for a bounty hunter ship to destroy that particular ship? That would severely limit Pirate Xs ability to do anything, and, frankly, makes a lot more sense. I believe that there is some type of upgrade, some sensor enhancement or something, that actually will display the names of the people that occupy a particular ship, so in-character, this might make more sense than going after ships, not people. I hope I make sense!In any event, I would recommend that people look at the Defense Handbook. Again, Im still a new pilot, and likely will be for a long, long time, but the suggestions presented there seem reasonable, so follow them. The command in-game, I believe, is DEFENSE.

Re: Miriani: Once Again Hello all,I created a character on Miriani about a week ago, and at first glance all seemed to go fine, Untill yesterday.I was standing in a shop browsing through some items than I was stunned and stranded. Fortunatly I managed to escape simply by buying a new ship.I was told that I could by my two drones back from my strander for 4000, I refused, I would rather buy new onse for a higher price than fall for that pile of bull...I took my old ship (a freighter) flying home. I landed and was stranded again! Now I am accused of firing on a planet with my freightor. Hoping to be able to prove that it had to be a mistake I scrolled all the way back in my output. allas it whent not that far back. When I asked my captor for prove against me, she just kept silent.This has been my first week on Miriani and defenitly my last one.Greetings, koma7.2 URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=186747#p186747 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Miriani: Once Again @koma7.2Possibilities regarding your first stun and strand senario:1. You stood for far too long without performing any action, which leads to staring. People who stare are considered easy targets to make money off of, which of course, will definitely lead to you getting stunned and stranded. I also have to point out that depending on where you were stranded, buying a ship might not have even been a necessity. ?Chances are that if you were within range of a ship store, you were also in range of a transport station. it all comes back to distance and circumstance, of course.2. You may have unintentionally mentioned something to someone or publically displayed particular items to someone who figured you might make a likely target. Part of the problem is not knowing what kind of people were dealing with on a regular basis, which is why I havent bought anything that has made me a worthy target. perhaps I have a ton of cr edits, and perhaps I dont, but youll never know unless I tell you; itll be a complete hit and miss from that point on. The risk and loss of time will be completely your own, should you choose to take them upon your hands. Until I feel like I can safely defend my property, I wont go out of my way to buy something I know for a fact I cannot defend.3. You had a bad day. It happens. Ive been on the receiving end of one of those now. I can safely state that Ive had an attempted stun and strand situation, and just when I thought I was alright, nearly had one of my crafts shot down for seemingly no reason by a mad pilot and his crew. I kept my cool, landed the craft, waited for a few minutes, then went about my business. Chances are that if the crazies are out to get you for the fast buck, they cant stick around for too long because there are other potential fast bucks to be made they might miss out o n in doing so. On the other hand, tyrants will always be tyrants, but even they lose patience after awhile apparently, else I would have lost a ship already.As to your second issue regarding a freighter that fired on a planet, ther eis something about it that makes absolutely no sense to me. How would you or any other person have proven that you did or didnt fire on a planet by simply submitting text from a log? Common sense dictates that text could have come from anywhere, crafted by a skillful person who in fact might have been out to convince you that you did fire on a planet, or manipulated by you in some way to suggest that you didnt. This sounds more like a matter of perception, a three sided story, as it were, in which two sides are implicitly or explicitly influenced by emotions and personal takes on the issue, and the third side is those two sides put together to present the entirety of the situation. No, Im not saying youre wrong or that youre lying; quite the contrary, from your perspective you are telling the truth. What Im looking for is the other side, because unless someone was just absolutely bored enough to come up with such a bizarre excuse to stun you, there cant really be much of a cause without an effect.Im sorry to hear that youre quitting so soon. The kind of thing that you went through is the kind of thing I was hoping to find when I first joined myself, actually. I wanted to declare once and for all that Miriani was in fact, nothing more than a cesspool of hate mongering megalomaniacs with nothing better to do than to sit around and upset people. I cant find any solid evidence to back that statement up though; indeed for every one tyrant I meet, I generally find at least 5 people I can get along with just fine. Even the people who seem tyrannical on the outside seem to befriend me for some reason.& nbsp; :d@hadi.gsfMaybe youre right, but Im not seeing it yet. If you are right though, Il find it even more of a shame when I do see the game for what it really is, because Im more convinced now than ever that Miriani is good enough as it is now and has even more potential than many other games Ive played. enhanced by the various soundpakcs Ive encountered that have been thrown together by different individuals, I have yet to find something that truly upsets me other than the way combat works right now, which doesnt allow much more than soloing easies if youre a single minded person who doesnt want anything to do with the rest of the community. I dont see the issue with the idea of people having powerful ships that can be used by one person alone; make them less powerful than the gunships and battlecruisers, but resistant enough to the destroyers and sentinals to where a single pilot could ste p into mods if he or she so chose to do just that. Obviously, that does present a slight bit of fear for people who own cargo and asteroid haulers or freighters, but if theres anything Ive learned its that anyone whos out to get you isnt going to be stopped just because they have to multi room a big machine to do it.

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again Insurance is based on the value of the ship including all upgrades, be aware that its all or nothing so if youre just a few credits short of the ships entire worth you wont get a penny.Interdiction fields prevent you from not only jumping but from leaving the sector by any means, thats why I think interdictors are overpowered. The only way to counter this is to destroy the interdictor which the ship in question drops, it only takes a single hit from any ship weapon but getting there might be a challenge not to mention the potential of your weapons getting destroyed before you can do it.Also regarding bounties, there are regularly ships with insane bounties on them. Theyre denied landing clearance by planets with flight control only after the bounty is equal to 50% of the ships total value including upgrades or more, and the automated lasers on capital planets which includes Roluxica and Miriani only fires at them if their bou nty is equal to 100% of the ships worth which will take a lot of industrial ships to get that far. Also what makes bounties especially useless is they can simply swap ships and carry on as if the bounty didnt exist, so they just need to keep a specific piracy ship at a planet without flight control and the bounty system hardly affects them.

Re: Miriani: Once Again @bradpAtmos salvage for 20 minutes and you can easily make 700 credits, or find large roids which, at the time of this writing, arent really all that hard to find; each one will give you 5 mill.@cx2As Ive previously stated, these are just my experiences. Im certain everyone else will have at the very least, slightly different situations arise. My personal desire was to seek out the full scope of the game, given past history with it and all that Ive heard about how vicious pilots seem to roam space and frequently steal ships, stun and strand players, and just in general reek havoc. Even watching the chatter channel hasnt provided me with more than access to one situation that occurred about a week and a half ago involving a pilot who really seemed to be asking for it. What Im witnessing at the moment seems to be at the very least, a good chance for new players to join in and take a shot at it a nd perhaps get well ahead before they start being antagonized. considering Ive already bought 7 ships and upgraded 3 of them, Im still pretty well off, at roughly 3 credits and with something like 700 license points and almost that many combat. Ive bought a lore, clothes, spacesuit, an apartment, and Im not sure what other trivialities. Perhaps time will change my opinion once again, but for now, theres a good chance Ill be around for awhile on miriani.

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again Oh thats all very true, Im not trying to say these things make the game unplayable by any means just that a lot of the measures put in place to curtail them are of limited help at best.Get a flight control scanner and filter it down so it only tells you about combat notifications. Not only does this help you avoid sectors where people are picking fights but it gives you a feel for how often they happen. Back when I restarted Miriani a couple months ago before I switched to SC there would routinely, but I stress not constantly, be someone who parked their BC in some sector or another and took potshots at any ships that came by. This quite often seemed to be sector 9 or 12 for some reason but that obviously can vary on the whims of the people responsible.If you enjoy the environment and the potential risk then great and I wont try to detract from that, but for me personally I find it unrealistic at best and an extremely unwelcome interruption to my pl ay experience at worst.

Re: Miriani: Once Again Ok, I stand corrected... Or something. My assumption was based on the fact that the only time Ive ever seen a service record printed was when one printed it themselves. Every other ship that Ive had shattered in the past did not give me a final service record, but then again, none of them was an industrial ship, which must mean its something exclusive to them only. It kind of makes me wish someone would target my cargo hauler for the sake of messing around with this concept. Id sacrifice my freighter, but its served me wel over the past few days during the most boring moments, as has my roid hauler.

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again I have had my asteroid hauler ddestroyed once. you can printout the record out at the security centre and print it out there, the ship that destroyed my asteroid hauler had a bounty of over 500,000,000 showing that they didnt give a damn about the laws! and this is how the attack happened:I moved out of sector 1 heading west. But while i was moving out, 2 BCS decided to follow me. they soon launched interdictors and... i got right to the western part of that uncharted sector, ready to go west again when... My sensors were interrupted by the interdiction field! a fighter preceeded to launch from that battlecruiser and because i was at 1, 1, 1 at the very top left, i was blocked from below, and from the sides. so I was unable to move... and, after some target practice from that enemy fighter, my ship was destroyed.It was a quick trip back to my security office, a printout of my service record, and then submitting it and increasing the bounty on that vessel. Oh, remember to ensure your account. I have put 10 percent of my cash flow into my ensurance account which when my asteroid hauler was destroyed, i got the full refound of the ships price.okay... now that i think of it, that explanation sounds like its in character, not what i intended, but oh well.This is not to deter anybody from playing miriani or anything, but it just lets you know of some of the dangers, and is there any way to counter the interdiction field? because if there was, i would have escaped...and remember from the start! Set up an ensurance account, and set up auto deposit and set it to your liking. keep asteroid hauling, or whatever your favorite activity is, and watch your ensurance account grow! with only 5 million credits in that thing, your ensured for your asteroid hauler. dont take what the money says in the account, you will be ensured for twice as much damage.hth URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=186298#p186298 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Miriani: Once Again I have yet to even so much as think about the insurance account. Honestly, because credits are so easy to make, losing a roid or cargo hauler is the least of my concerns. No, its the cost of the upgrades you invest in such ships that really might just make the difference. Ive added a slip drive to my roid hauler to make getting to asteroids much quicker, along with a faster relativity drive and the airlock cycle upgrade. Still, if I had it destroyed tonight it wouldnt really bother me as much as say, if I had my fighter destroyed.The crews Ive been missioning with as of late have managed to complete mods within 7 minute timeframes; we actually did one within 6 minutes and 40 seconds if you can believe that. Thats 5 million credits plus any I might earn as extras for landing the final hit on enemy ships for every 8 minutes. Obviously, generocity demands that I contribute to the owner of the ship, which I do, but that still leaves me with tons of credits for my own purposes. Assuming you dont want to get into the missioning bit though, asteroids arent really all that hard to find. Each medium one will give you 4 million credits, while the large ones will give you 5 mill.In regards to having your roid haulers destroyed by BCs, its a possibility, and as I mentioned in one of my posts, there are always people who flex their power just a bit much for the sake of showing off, but thats anywhere you go. I still believe that silence is golden, since, while you may not know exactly what might be going on in their minds, they dont know what your reaction to such actions is going to be. Maybe cx2 is right and there are bored people out to get anyone and everyone, but methinks its still the equivalent of trolling on any website that offers a comment section; some people just thrive on others anger. if th ey can make even one person throw their hands up in frustration or give in and type out a single message that displays weakness or emotion in any way, theyve already one.

Upon finally having my apparent grace period come to an end, I realize that every single ship kind of sort of somewhat sends a message and has a bit of psychology tied to it at least now. Industrial ships such as cargo haulers, freighters and roid haulers are ships that most destroyers, gunships and BCs will not shoot provided that you dont shoot them first, since doing so automatically provides you with protection of sorts as you can place a bounty on their ships for simply shooting at you in one of the three industrial spacecrafts. There is a catch though, in order for this to work, a cargo hauler or freighter must have salvaged debris or made purchases for trading purposes within ten minutes before being attacked. For roid haulers, its actually even more simple; provided that your roid hauler is in uncharted space or within the same sector as a roid hauling station, youre automatically covered.Obviously this isnt fullproof, and someones bound to not care when it comes to the rules set by this bounty method, which is where things get interesting for you. Assuming youve already been fired upon and you didnt fire back, you can print out a service record as you attempt to navigate away from the craft that fired on you. Go to your nearest security office and submit your service record. congratulations, youve just bountied a ship by a slight percentage of its worth and, should that ship continued to get bountied, itll more than likely be destroyed by bounty hunters or at the very least, be fired on by long range lasers in sector 12 at some point.Seeing a bunch of battlecruisers near by while youre in your freighter mindlessly salvaging? Let not your heart beat troubled; if they want to play by the ropes, they can slipdrive to you, subwarp at you, but they cant fire upon you if they dont want to be bountied. Just remember though, if you fire on them first, you cannot bounty them, since it is assumed that you, a less capable combat pilot decided to take on the risks for whatever reason came to your head.So, to quickly recap, stay in a roid hauler that is hauling roids or in a cargo hauler or freighter that is actively salvaging and trading and youll be moderately safe from most combat pilots. Keep service records on hand for the just-in-case exceptions; you just never know. Another good idea is to get your hands on an Expediter as soon as you can, since this ship is probably the fastest and my favorite by far, allowing anyone to travel great distances in seconds. A ship that seems like it might antagonize you would have to be able to predict where youre going to ftl to next, but assuming you actually dont want to leave the sector, you can also subwarp next to a planet and land quickly. Staying safe is merely a matter of flexibility and some creativity on the side, and having friends can help too, which is how I got out of a potential stun and strand situation today, not related to the previously mentioned ship chase above. This is starting to get fun!

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again Its certainly far, far better than it used to be. 99% of the time you can be left alone quite happily, but when things go wrong I find they really turn to crap. Its no longer at the point it was at however where you could hardly launch without being attacked, or where people ran protection rackets demanding the purchase of licenses to haul asteroids. I also dispute the effectiveness of bounty hunters, on the out of character channel 500 the concensus was they were generally crap against an experienced player.Its perfectly possible for pirate players to use a flight control scanner to tell when someone has left one of the sectors, and from the sector they can often tell if that person is asteroid hauling. This makes asteroid hauling have a slight risk of being attacked with every trip. Throw in how overpowered interdictors are and you can have real problems.Im quite proud of the time I was jumped when roid hauling, I hadnt made myself a t arget at all, and while trying to give them the run around in the hopes theyd get bored found myself facing down two battlecruisers, two gunships and a fighter flown by a BC level pilot. It took that much effort to take down a simple unupgraded asteroid hauler with a destroyed laser turret and wormhole drive, plus for half of the time I hadnt any sensors either. That said it doesnt speak well of these players.I honestly think these players are just griefers. In some cases they may profit but in most they simply blow ships out of the sky, I cant help but feel theyre really, really bored on some level. Now some of them in the past have roleplayed bullies as well but the fact they got away without response from the alliances just breaks the immersion for me.

Re: Miriani: Once Again hello, I once had a simmular thing happen to me. I was couriering and seeing one battle croozer waiting for me to launch. I launched, because Id never really been courier hunted before. the moment I was up, the jumpgate had all ready been blockaded and the croozer was after me. Then as I started randomly using the auto pilot to move to completely random coordinates, the fc scanners pulled in 2 more bcs. by the time my auto pilot was down from immobilasation pulses, I switched to manual and there were about 4 battle croozers after me. hell, because they couldnt hit me they somehow managed to be such bad shots that they hit each other! after about half an hour of this, I accedentally moved out of the sector and was in uncharted space. I think there were 6 bcs after me now, and I gave them the runaround for about an hour more and then my computer decided that it chose this very moment to crash on me. heck, if it hadnt crashed, I probably would have gotten them bored sooner or later. so I logged back in and was of course stunned and stranded. when I was back on my capital planet kile roxxan commed me and told me that that was his org chasing me down and that they wanted to test me. I mean how shitty is that for a change?

Re: Miriani: Once Again While I understand the fear of powerful ships seems to be common among pilots it hasnt struck me quite yet. Perhaps its because Ive flown around sectors full of them and have yet to encounter one that seriously wants to chase after me, or because they are only manned by one person at the time, or because the overall playing field has changed and now favors the good guys rather than the bad... I honestly dont know. What I do know is that within the past couple of days Ive had more than 5 battlecruisers within firing range and nothing has happened so far. Obviously Ive kept myself alert in the event that something did come up, but for the most part theyre just flying around doing their own thing, sometimes shooting each other, sometimes shooting other people, sometimes just showing off their navigational capabilities.And I go on my merry way, not bothered by any of it. I think swamp sort of gave me that w ho cares attitude; walking around dozens of zombies bigger than I and more dangerous than I without giving so much as a shrug in their direction has helped me to appreciate the fact that in many cases gaming worlds are not as fearful as we make them out to be, and so what if they are? Isnt that part of what keeps them interesting? Isnt that sort of what keeps us all on edge? We cant always guess whats behind a pilots mind as hes flying an awesome machine like a gunship or BC. Where are they off to? What are they up too? Who are they after? How many aboard? Can I outrun them if I need to? What will I do if I cant? I cant keep soloing combat missions and stay interested for long, but salvaging and roid hauling with the risk of the occasional fuzzy doesnt provide much of a challenge either. this is where the occasional BC entering the sector and the possibility of something arising as the result of that become something I can respect to some extent. No, as is the case with anything, its not for everyone, and Im willing to respect that too.

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again Good post nocturnus. That actually almost makes me want to give the thing a try, particularly sinse the activities you describe, fighting aliens, occasionally salvaging are exactly what Id want from a game, and the potential that yes, if I leave other people alone people will extend me the same curtacy, (although i disagree with you about the gun debate not being soluable, though that is another matter).

Re: Miriani: Once Again definitely a thumb up. very good article or post, or whatever. I dont know it has changed so rapidly. when I played it hmm, one, maybe two years ago, there were stranders all the time. but the silence method sounds good. maybe at one time, when I will be bored with alter, i will give it a try one more time, who knows?

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again well, You are unable to do anything until they stop stunning you. but I think you can say things. I remember getting stunned twice in one day. and I told this person that somebody had stolen my freighter and i had no money to pay. Not to turn anybody off the game or anything. but if you generally watch the channels and stuff, they wont attack you. and i recommend joining an organisation. I remember somebody had destroyed a bunch of our currier ships, so me and the organisation devised a plan to give the battlecruiser that had attacked us a bounty.

Re: Miriani: Once Again
Re: Miriani: Once Again but apart from that, for the most part, I have been left alone. just haul roids, salvage debris or whatever, and people should leave you alone. and when you see a battlecruiser, generally, stay silent and be prepared to either jump out of the sector, or if you cant do that, then land on a planet. and dont give in to what they say.

Re: Miriani: Once Again I dont have much significant to contribute, as, having been a character for almost 2 years, still with newbie status because I literally have such little time to play, I can say that silence is typically a good thing. I remember, a long time ago, someone asking on General Communication for a pilot to gun on a mission. I said yes, asked where to go, explained ICly that I had graduated from pilot school (in-character speak for a newbie) and was off. There are times of immaturity; a lot of the less than savory characters, for instance, had fun laughing their heads off at my surname, for instance, but overall, from my 14 or so hours (in total) connected, I can say that its really not terrible, so long as you basically keep to yourself.There also exists a self-defense handbook, which I read awhile back, which discusses...Self-defense. Obviously! But one of the things they mention is self-destructing, and how, in t he worst case scenario, it is advisable to destroy your own ship. Better to kill it yourself than to let some no-good thief steal (or destroy) your ship.So, Dark, maybe give it a shot. And stick to yourself mostly, that seems to be the best way to keep out of trouble. Thats kind of sad, really, since outspoken chatter and free speech would be fun to participate in, however, it apparently just makes you a target.

Re: Miriani: Once Again As I said, I believe there is a bit of psychology behind players who stun and strand. Perhaps they feel it makes the game a bit more challenging to them, and while they can force you into a situation that you probably dont want, they cant force you into it for longer than 12 hours at a time, at which point you can call for an assist and have one of the admins look into the matter. The main thing to remember is that if youre someone whos worth noticing and you make yourself a noticeable target by any means, youre going to find out about it because youll eventually be stunned or stranded for it. I recently saw a guy get stunned and had a camera conned from him. Do you know why? Because the camera was worth 15 million credits. Thats a sale that benefits the strander. Goodness only knows if he made off with anything else from the victim in question, but the camera was public knowledge. Still, if a camera is worth 15 million credits and the guy had a lot of ships, thats a potential goldmine, and thats how the stunners and stranders are looking at it along with the challenge. This is precisely why silence is golden.Remember though, that joining an organization provides great benefits as well as little in the way of obligation if the organization in question is a nice one, as is the case with the one Im part of. Once your stranders leave your org will come and pick you up if you notify them, and if circumstances allow for it, maybe even rescue you from the clutches of your stranders all together. it doesnt have to come to that though, and while the possibility still exists, Ive yet to encounter it myself by practicing what I preach.
