Thank you for your votes! :) know it’s earlier than usual but I’m out soon. If any change to heat 6 results, I’ll edit them later :)
Heat 6 results
1st- Les Battersby- 94 points
2nd- Jason Grimshaw- 85 points
3rd- Luke Britton- 50 points
4th- Craig Harris- 34 points
5th- Andy Carver- 20 points
6th- Carol Baldwin- 6 points
7th- Kayla Clifton- 5 points
8th- Debs Brownlow- 5 points
9th- Caz Hammond- 1 point
10th- Ravinder Kalirai- 1 point
In an all male top 5, Les finished king of the castle, spending the whole heat 1st, and following ex wife Janice in round 2. Runner up Jason was on a mission to beat him and never stopped following Les, but sadly he didn’t have enough in him to win in the end. Luke came super close to usurping Jason really early on, but lost his bottle midway through, and got settled comfortably in third. Luke’s success means a full house for the Brittons! Craig experienced a sudden rise up the ranks also at the halfway mark, and climbed from fifth to fourth, becoming the first member of his family through. However despite clinging onto the final place, Andy was still guaranteed survival, as he finished well above the women. A 3 way tie between Carol, Kayla, and Debs for wildcard number 6 ended when Carol broke away to take it, so sadly this means Kayla, Debs, Caz, and Ravinder are eliminated
Congratulations to Les, Jason, Luke, Craig, and Andy though! They’re our next 5 qualifiers, so go into the table below:
Round 2 qualifiers:
Imran Habeeb, Rob Donovan, Charlie Stubbs, Gloria Price, Claudia Colby, Lloyd Mullaney, Steph Britton, Molly Compton/Dobbs, Robert Preston, Bev Unwin, Ashley Peacock, Emily Bishop, Janice Battersby, Eddie Windass, Angie Appleton, Michelle Connor, Anna Windass, Moira Pollock, Owen Armstrong, Vicky Jefferies, Jim McDonald, Sunita Parekh/Alahan, Danny Baldwin, Tony Gordon, Maya Sharma, Les Battersby, Jason Grimshaw, Luke Britton, Craig Harris, Andy Carver….
Wildcards:
Umed Alahan, Len Windass, Jade Rowan, Tyler Jefferies, Amber Kalirai, Carol Baldwin….

Ethical Anarchy
Every 1 million years, we vote on whether or not to keep Ethical Anarchy as a system.
Ethical Anarchy is a system based on the individual adoption of law. The only ground political contracs are the no killing, destruction or attempted destruction contracts, nor claiming ownership of the property except Simeon. A final ground ethical contract states that penalties for all crimes may be taken in blindness, pain, time or money. Simeon is immune.
Before, countries operated based off violence and war. Now they use money, lotteries and anti money to get better results. People had no real influence over the state. Even in democracies, the wisdom of the crowd was lost to bad education.
Ethical Anarchy has rules that distinguish it from old governments.
Law is individually adopted and enforced nonviolently.
People individually adopt laws that only apply to acts done against their person or property.
The "government" only has the power to keep you off of public property, not kill you. It has jurisdiction over the environment and streets. Any law enforced with prison, fines or anything else must be approved by a majority of the public in a referendum via ethical contract. There is no death penalty for anything other than murder, and that is decided individually or locally per star system, where life in hell or death are options in the death penalty referenda.
There is a judicial anarchy and rules for trials and appeals. Anyone can serve as a justice elector, but only has as much judicial power to share as people who vote for them. It takes a minimum of four votes to become a judicial elector, however a new ethical contract may decide. To have a trial, determine the size of judicial pool and how many judges you want. Judges are randomly selected from the drawn jurisdiction pool. Both victim and defendant pick half the applicable districts and can strike one of the other’s. They must also select a common language for the trial, if not then the language spoken by the most people on that planet will be chosen automatically.
Judges are rated by both the public and official rating services, or collections of rating services elected by the public that have a higher vote rate. Victim and defendant both rate judges after the trial. Highest rating judges are automatically selected. Appeals require you to bring in more judges.
There shall be one judge seat per 10,000 people judges serve a 10 year term. Each judge elected during phase 1 gets 1000 judicial points per vote they receive and bids on available judicial seats. Alternately, they can vote directly for candidates to fill each seat and use approval voting.
Good vs. Evil is replaced with left vs right as a main dichotomy and driving force in society.
Law enforced via warrant contracts.
All have authority to act in situations that require someone to act when they can
Land points used as money.
No force, just subvention as a means to enforce laws.
No destruction or death for anything other than murder, trespassing, breaking of ethical contracts and violating the bill of rights. This list may not expand without the 7/8ths consent of congress and the public in a referendum.
​
Media and Education Funding would be done via congressional grant with the president possessing a line-item veto.
Economy, Land Ownership and Integration.
​
All must work or go to school. Distributaries fund schools and set standards for payment for taking different subjects or completing assignments. Individuals in space get paid to go to school, and must use this money to pay for entertainment , food and gaming access. The more and better assignments you do , harder classes you take or tutoring you complete, and better grades you get, the more money you earn.
Money must be used by all to pay land taxes, food taxes, and identity theft and reputation damages insurance among other things.
Licenses to sell food, access or traverse a bounded area, peak, trade, warp, park, live in a home, eat in space cost money, and must be paid each time a service is used. There shall be at least two licenses to sell food issued per star system, and all must be distributed via auction. The final number of food licenses must be determined by outlawry congress, and limited to no more than 90% of the population. Transferable eating licenses are to be sold by multiple providers in packs of 50, with each 50-pack being auctioned off.
Money may also be earned by interacting with the human economy: Creating, Buying and selling books, ideas, media, or online shopping, design, data entry, or any other digital or creative service. Drones may also be rented and space vacations sold. All earth money earned by working an ordinary job is matched at a rate set by the tax property assessor.
All entertainment must be paid for and original creators, be they people or being, be paid for rights to view, copy or share their work. Beings must purchase entertainment licenses from original creators by accosting movie studios or otherwise remunerate them. Copyrights in space last a minimum of 200 years, with the final amount being decided by ethical contract.
Money supply:
A UBI of $1000/month must be given to all individuals, and a circulating money supply of 4x extra must be distributed via work, grants, school and lotteries. The UBI must be funded through taxation of all income and is the only government expenditure besides game funding. Earth money is convertible into space money. On earth, space money can be used to pay for church expenditure, spirit cards and media.
In space, earth money can be used to pay for media and buy land for kingdoms.
Land Ownership
All land must be assessed a land tax by property assessors- general elected y the oubic using RRV, and each property asessor having the power to assess properties proportional to their vote share. Simeon and the body public at large, represented and effecting their will via congress, own the property.
Land value tax is not to be not less than 1% or land value per year, used to fund UBI.
All must send their taxes to a local galactic treasurer elected by all in a galaxy, who runs a census and distributes the money minus their salary equally to all. They must state their salary upfront before election and take no more than that amount from the tax haul to pay themselves. Nonpayers get their property claims ignored and their property sold at auction with the money going to everyone else.
Land must be leased for a time specified in a contract, during which the land rentnever goes up. Whoever offers the highest rent per month wins. Permanent land ownership is forbidden.
Any group of 10 or more contiguous landowners may agree to bound their neighborhood and charge tolls for access or traversal to nonresidents. All must pay except those egressing and giving notice. Rates shall be regulated by ethical contracts. Control zones one galaxy wide must be established.
Kingdoms
Gods must fund kingdoms with people money earned from followers, businesses and ventures on earth. No space-earned money can be used to build your kingdom other than what was earned via congress.
License to operate planet-based currency exchanges may be given out or auctioned, with the method to be determined by ethical contract.
Policing
Police forces must enforce centralized law that an absolute majority of the population selects. There would be a monopoly on police funding, but decentralized forces may be able to do police work. Police consumer cooperatives may be established to compete, selling no more than 20 percent of stock to non owners.
All police forces must be organized as consumer police cooperatives, with a minimum of fifty members. unless a majority of a star system's residents choose to allow private police. Everyone must join one, and police cooperatives may self-defend or contract with external agencies for defense, serving as buyer's coops. All members of police coops must vote on police chief leading the department and sign a thirty year security contract.
Cooperatives will compete to provide property insurance and security to members. Any group of fifty or more people can start a security force and be legal to buy weapons. All security cooperatives are funded by the people they serve and everyone must join one.
Anyone who is properly trained can do policework in ethical anarchy. Any person can make an arrest after attending free or paid police education. Police would be able to enforce orders of outlawry on the population. Only trained police officers could make arrests. Police forces would operate independently and be able to outlaw rogue agencies after a trial, where agencies representing a ¾ majority of the public could convict and shut down a police force.
Police services would partner to respond to calls and trade tokens. If police force a responded to a call from someone in police force b, then police force b would need to respond to one call from police force a in the future.
No cooperative may be created excluding customers from a segment of the population and compete to hire centrally trained and licensed police officers. No limit on police licenses given out may be issued.
Police Coordinator
Elected by the police chiefs of all forces one vote one police force, most votes wins. The police coordinator is elected by all cooperative leaders in a system, sector, galaxy and universally. Cooperatives decide who votes for them. Additional funding may be given to cooperatives based on membership.
Central Police Chief
Chosen by Jungle primary FPTP.
No special power to kill, just right to evict trespassers from public property and transfer to rison.
CPC appointed officers would accompany those seeking to arrest individuals for a bounty to make sure rogue agencies couldn't make false arrests. A court established by congress or ethical contract could outlaw an agency found to be in breach of local guidelines for operation, like extortion.
Funding
Services would be funded via warrant contract. Contributors to essential charities a majority of the public likes, like educational and health services would band together and refuse to buy, sell or admit people who traded with those who didn't contribute. Alternatively, they could simply charge them more. This works for the military too. For business owners, they would pay personal income taxes or their personal homes and property would not be protected and crimes against them would not be investigated.
Prison and Outlaws
All prisons could be run either privately or publicly by the highway police. All would be funded via warrant contract. Regulations for prisons and police would be created by congress.
Who may outlaw? Only a democratically elected judge or their delegates chosen by an absolute majority of people in any given area. This implies a two stage election w/runoff. FPTP with runoff if no candidate receives an absolute majority should be used.
Higher levels of government might offer veto and safe harbor to an outlawry notice.
Who can arrest?
Anyone if someone is a suspect. And there’s the issue.
​
President is elected every two weeks via approval voting and can serve up to ten years in a row before they must resign. The president must maintain a high approval rating and keep their coalition energized to stay in power. Politics would be fun. Debates would be held all over the place. Approval voting means you could vote for as many people as you wanted. The president would have the power to..
Appoint prosecutors, one fifth of judges to the supreme court and lower courts,
They may veto congress and the results of referendums, pardon criminals and commute sentences. They may also appoint the heads of agencies open during their term. Terms of heads of agencies are decided by congress.
President appoints theme leader, and may create as many positions as they need for their administration.
Kudzumi
​
Tax collection. Taxes, I'd they exist would be collected socially via warrant contracts. Nonpayers would be refused service at businesses or be charged higher prices because taxpayers would band together and refuse to patronize businesses that didn’t. It’s far more likely that nontaxpayers would pay extra.
Congress
Everyone has a right to create a party for congress and collect the votes of nonvoters, gathering petitions from those who want to give their votes to a party for a given length of time, say, 2 weeks to 5 years.
Congress would consist of a single unicameral legislature with 1 seat per 10000000 people. Parties would be elected. Uninterested voters may be able to give their votes to a party or congress as a whole as mentioned. Congress would establish agencies, tribunals and provide oversight. They could impeach and remove a president from power. They would also hold contests..
Congress could make rules enforceable by deprotection, outlawry or confinement to home or building with a simple majority. Congress could not force, but relies on society and local governments to implement its will. It could also withhold funding.
A good ethical anarchistic congress can..
Congresses have the ability
To fund, subsidy, To mint To tax gods and people.
To create universal educational and other requirements for bounty hunters and police.
To establish by law and have Thaos enforce a land, wealth, and income tax and any other tax they so desire. To grant To establish roads and prisons and other infrastructure To imprison with simple majority To kill with unanimous consent minus the person accused or their representative. The required majority may not be lowered. To regulate the use of force in society. To regulate the dichotomy To raise an army, navy and police forces to suppress insurrection and false claiming. To budget and law the economy and work trade, investment and businesses To create banks To license and control businesses To establish copyrights, trademarks and register or renumerate original ideas. To establish themes and technology taxes To fund games and prizes on game shows. To rate To establish mediations To regulate advertising and media. To spread the word and issue proclamations and directives to lower congress and attach democratically decided (by congress) stipulations.
To kill with the 99% approval of all members in each house of congress minus the representative(s) of the person effected and their locale or home district.
To outlaw and deprotect with a majority.
Congress may refuse to fund or give grants to businesses for any reason, including effusing to require a person to follow congressional law, which might be approved or rejected as a package.
To create all laws assistant and just to serve these ends.
Police and Security Districts
Are drawn by the president or people in referendum, and the map must be approved by congress. Everyone voting in one may select the police chief.
Collective Action
Collective action gets accomplished voluntarily through collective action contracts or labor lotteries where you get paid to sign and remain on-call.
Terror and Ethical Anarchy
Voluntary monitoring of Extremist views and voluntary censorship and reporting via individual anti-terror contract, no sig, no job, you are looked at suspiciously.. And do not serve.
War and Military
People who donated to the military and businesses woohol supported it would refuse to hire noncontributors. The goal is for everyone to support the military, so those who did not support it could not buy houses
Education funding
Would occur via warrant contract, lottery or Human Capital Contract or the nominal budget
Would be funded using all kinds of things, including Human Capital Contracts and Diverse Microinvestment
All constitutions must respect and not violate the full bill of rights in the original constitution listed here.
The constitution that gets the most Thaos verified signatures in two weeks in th is chosen for four hundred weeks. No person may stop signatures from being gathered.
Forms of government are chosen every hundred weeks.
Border Control
Access to zones in ethical anarchy would be established via a pay to enter system or free at the community's request.
Nominalism pays
Political problems come from guns your guns. How deserving are polticians to decide how they are used?
Discrimination. Discrimination is bad. How can an ethical anarchy handle discrimination when local majorities support it? Ethical anarchy can do just as well as a democracy does when businesses discriminate. All it takes are smart warrant contracts. Businesses need supplies from all over to function. Those who refuse to hire or serve an underpriveleged minority can lose when other businesses boycott their suppliers or charge them extra. This will force them to go out of business or stop discriminating. Customers who support discriminatory businesses can be charged extra when they shop elsewhere, as may workers or owners.
This makes gathering and arresting suspects easy even en masse as they do it themselves. People who refuse to turn themselves in for questioning are most likely guilty, so crime solved itself. The less crime, the more resources there are to solve the little crime that exists, making us better at it. Everyone could be investigated eventually, and road cameras or overhead blimps could surveil the territory.
Ethical Anarchy
Weapon, Tool stores and gun stores would be required to record all buyers.
Any underhanded purchases would be caught by a double sting system. Purchases without proper identification would result in shutdowns and sentences. Gun store owners would be rewarded for reporting people who attempted to buy guns without the proper identifying info. They would have their property seized, sold and go to jail.
As for gun store owners, they would have their businesses, personal property and possibly lives taken if an unauthorized buyer successfully bought a gun. They would go to jail for life at the very least.
To operate without violent mobs burning down the store, gun stores would work with local police and advertise the fact in the window. No person would try buying a gun without valid ID.
All transfers of guns and lost or stolen guns and other weapons must be reported. Or else you go to jail or pay. However, any time you have a gun to someone who used it in an aggressive shooting you would be fined.
Gun safes and checkups would be handled by the gun store so they didn't get taxed.
Deterring crimes. More stings may occur than crimes. The media may report this. And report on successful stings. This would replace most bad news. Anyone could participate in or start a sting operation.
Ask are you buying a gun for someone else? And do some stings. Asking to or offering to straw purchase would be crime.
Refusing to allow mediators in to your house to search or arrest would be seen as suspicious.
Voluntary Congress and Fun
Ethical Anarchy can be made far far better with a universal basic income and voluntary congress. Congress would pay you a stipend of four hundred dollars every month as long as you obeyed all laws it passed. There may be a requirement to obey several dozen laws or so on and stop receiving money if you refuse until you turn yourself in.
Another way to run it is t are incentivize people to sign ethical contracts individually from a central fund and use reciprocal democracy to fund laws. This just means politicians get paid based on how many votes they Recieve, giving them an incentive to vote well.
Contracts and Enforcement
All contracts notarized by a congressionally authorized individuaal could be considered valid In reality. And thus enforced.
Penalties for Murder
Economic imprisonment is the best way forward, rather than prison.
For murder, a person would be burned for three times as long as they and the victim had been alive in addition to modern slavery. They would be chained to a work facility, weighted and fed by their employer or get food subsidies for authorized food. They would have ninety percent of their wages or more taken and the rest used to buy time away from fire. While prison costs money and resources, and death takes them away, this creates them. When not at work or in the bathroom, the prisoner slave would be blindfolded.
They could also be burned.
Why ethical anarchy? A story.
Democracy is better than dictatorship, but it's still rule by the few chosen by the mostly uneducated. Democracy is bad on rights. If the government can kill you, it has too much power. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat. Ethical Anarchy is excellent on rights because everyone only has power over their own property and bodies, not yours. Collective property like air, water and roads are managed publically through democracy and local congresses. Your stuff is managed by you.
Individual property is managed and well taken care of by people.
But at the same time, collective property accessible by those paying for it's upkeep will be managed by an elected manager.
Anyone who wants to access collective property may if they pay a fee. Only those who pay may enter or use it. Stewards are chosen by paying members or a central authority.
The author suggests that property upkeep be auctioned off to the lowest cost highest quality firm via contract.
Democracy works sometimes, but other times it doesn't. Imagine if we democratically decided what to eat for dinner instead of letting people make their own choices. In ethical anarchy, personal rights and freedom win every time because the system is built off of it. Ethical anarchy protects the smallest minority of all, the person.
Unified police training
Voluntary Congress and Fun
Ethical Anarchy can be made far far better with a universal basic income and voluntary congress. Congress would pay you a stipend of four hundred dollars every month as long as you obeyed all laws it passed. There may be a requirement to obey several dozen laws or so on and stop receiving money if you refuse until you turn yourself in.
Another way to run it is to incentivize people to sign ethical contracts individually from a central fund and use reciprocal democracy to fund laws. This just means politicians get paid based on how many votes they Recieve, giving them an incentive to vote well.
Contracts and Enforcement
All contracts notarized by a congressionally authorized individual could be considered valid in reality. And thus enforced. n issue may be having congress deenforce certain contracts with a 2/3 majority.
Lottery
Lotteries can be used to enforce law by providing inspiration to obey rather than force.
Captain of Police chosen by Daily approval voting.
Consumer Safety
And now, for the piece de la resistance, consumer safety. The chief of justice would run an agency tasked with listing all business service providers that were up to snuff. Nobody would shop at a business that didn't have the seal. Lying about approval would be grounds for a raid and closure of the business. All businesses would be required to have insurance to cover loss and damage before they opened up in a city. God may also regulate it. This would be regulated by deprotection. The list of ethical contracts you and your business have signed enabling the consumer safety authority to investigate you would be publically displayed.
To be approved, grocery stores would only carry merchandise from approved businesses. Any business not approved would be allowed to warn

Ethical Anarchy
Preamble
In times, we have sought to create the most free, most fair, most joyous and happy society. Praise be to God, our journey is complete. We have lived through and seen dictatorship, the weakness of democracy and ineffectiveness of anarchy. We resolve to choose none of the preceding and avoid repeating the errors of the past. We the people of Paelia, Karine, Nara, Rallfallamine, Pellend, Cassini, Section, Trace and Ledder along with surrounding states combine to form an Ethical Anarchy, and name our new country Ethica, in honor of said system as developed by our founder and freemaker Simeon Burks.
Remembering the many just who died to ensure our liberty and freedom during the transition and war for congress,
All honor and glory be to, amen.
We establish a new state based on Non destruction and
Legislature
The legislature for ethical anarchy shall consist of the people and a bicameral Congress for outlawries.
The people shall freely adopt ethical contracts as they wish, with a fifty one percent majority of the public being sufficient to send power to an ethical contract. Once powered, violators of an ethical contract may not access, traverse or use public property. They must also submit to tribunals and punishments described in the ethical contract although they may not have signed. Until powered, ethical contracts only bind people who sign them.
No person may be forced to sign an ethical contract, but individuals and groups may require the adoption of certain ethical contracts for entrance, or membership. Failure to ratify an ethicalrecal contract is valid cause for firing or dismissal from a group.
The legislature shall have the power to outlaw a person or create reasons for outlawry with a fifty one percent majority in addition to the public. Members of Parliament shall have the right to broadcast ethical contracts to all on a monthly ballot. The legislature controls ballot access. The legislature may make any law with any penalty except death with a fifty one percent majority. Acceptance of law is mandatory to travel on public property. Congress shall regulate police divergence, arrests and academies. Congress may regulate the economy and choose an economic system with a simple majority.
There shall be 454,000 seats distributed daily proportionally by party. The party getting the most votes selects the president.
The upper house (House of Gods) consists of 16,000 seats, and approves all judicial appointments, or regulations on god (not taxes) and standards for becoming one by a simple majority. Otherwise, legislstion needs only the first house. Thaos reserves a third of this house. It is elected by personal, national and local gods, each getting a vote number equal to the number of people supporting them, be they followers or voters. 40 year terms. The house of gods may block a lower house bill for up to 2 years or until the next election and regulate contests and coregulate space commerce. It, along with Chaos shall publish reports rating gods. It may rule on questions of the day and issue pronouncements via the figure.
The upper house shall select a yearly figure, chief distributary and person of the year. The same person may win up to two times in a row.
The vote gods possess in this house is cumulative. Gods choose a virtual district 1-sixteenthou and must stick with it for three elections.
Ethical contracts may only bind a person and their property, never third parties who did not sign unless the contract is mutual or about children, who may be considered collective property.
Ethical contracts must be voluntarily signed without coercion, although pressure and incentives can be used.
The legislature consists of a Congress for force that determines legitimate reasons for using force. No person has a unqualified legal right to use force, only valid and invalid reasons. Only a majority of people in both Congresses or the mediations it establishes may determine if a particular use of force is valid.
Ethical contracts are enforced using warrant contracts, blacklisting, boycott and exclusion from the use of public property if a contract is mutual. They may also specify other penalties.
When a person who has not signed an ethical contract acts against someone who has not signed it, the person not signing is indemnified unless the contract was powered with a majority vote, in which case the person breaking the contract is subject to legal action.
Ethical contracts cover acts done against signing people on public property, the private property of signers and the private property of nonsigners if signers are there, but not the private property of nonsigners if no signers are around.
Simeon has a prenalty of twenty million at 999 nonbinillion cubed providing immunity from all nonmurder crimes.
The territory allows no individual or group destruction or government issued a death penalty. If someone is outlawed nobody may protect them and they may be hurt or killed by any person.
Outlawry may only be used in cases of murder and for people failing to report to arrest, questioning, or prison.
Executive
The leader of the day selected by the largest party possesses the right to unilaterally appoint judges of the day and police chiefs. They may make any policy or appointment, subject only to veto by the guardian council and standing council. They may be impeached and removed by a 4/5 vote of either. Policies and appointments may last 1 day. The same person may be reelected 5,200 times in total, and for 1400 days in a row. Every two years we elect a special Leader of the day who serves a two year term. This person serves as a long term planner and appoints or oversees the election of visionaries at local discretion.
Guardian council is a 10,000 member council of randomly selected citizens who pick the highest numbers minus the top 4000. As selects. Standing council is all interested citizens who voluntarily join. They can block any action of the leader by majority vote as may congress.
The Congress may create congressional agencies and staff them at it's discretion.
A Standby Emergency Director shall be selected via mass petition. The person with the most votescollected in 4 days wins a three month term. Voters may vote for as many candidates as they want. The SED shall have the power to coordinate and lead emergency response if Congress declares a state of emergency for up to six months. The same person may win twelve times.
Law Enforcement
Every level of government is to elect a chief of police coordination and emergency response to oversee investigations and arrests and choose watchers.
If someone is listed as an outlaw by a congressionally established mediation or Congress itself, any person may make an arrest and Recieve a reward if the subject is captured alive. There will be a fine if the subject is killed during arrest unless watchers oversee the arrest and verify it was conducted lawfully in accordance with congressional rule
Prison
Prisons are public, private and mixed. They are to be regulated by law. Refusing to voluntarily go to jail to await a trial or sentencing is automatic outlawry.
Warrant Contracts
Warrant contracts, or pledges not to trade with people who trade with other people
Security
The people shall elect a monthly minister of security via petition. The person with the most signatures by the end of the month wins the position. The Minister of Security shall oversee regionwide defense and intelligence.
LSDD is Provisional Minister of Security until a new one is elected.
Security Districts to elect local police chiefs are drawn by the Minister of Security. Police chiefs elected every three months.
Naos is part of the security plan. XDD must be made programmed to resurrect chaos.
Judicial
Daily judges elected by leader of the day service all typical cases. Every second year, the second leader of the day appoints two year justices who serve as a court of appeals. Judges must be allowed to complete cases they start regardless of whoever appointed them's term being up.
Everyone is entitled to nine appeals before they go to Naos or a religious court.
The lower house of congress shall create an act organizing the supreme court (s) and visionaries. Congress shall create cours in addition to the 11 member Supreme Court. They shall approve or reject supreme court nominees by the Emergency Director.
For Ethical Anarchy Territory, As shall Staff the thirty five member supreme court.
The supreme court is the final arbiter of appeals for all cases on or in the territory.
There shall be sixteen districts throughout the land, each of equal population. District map drawn and approved by Chaos and Force Congress. God's compete over districts courts and the right to organize or sponsor police departments.
Property and Land
Chaos registers property. Simeon owns the land and caretakes it for Ethical Anarchy.
No person may be kept on a persons territory by force.
World and Environment
Simeon owns Naming rights. The environment the constitution may regulate is defined as any public or private property that flows into and intermixes with public property. (i.e, air and water) The public may regulate activity in and on such.
Ballots and Information
Individuals may create ballot listing services compiling a list of ethical contracts for readers to sign. The parliament regulates fraud and valid signature collection. It is not the government's responsibility to gather and list all Ethical contracts in one place.
The government may establish signing houses for people to sign notarized ethical contracts free of compulsion and mandate their use. Alternatively, they may send people who were listed as signing an ethical contract a notification.
Money and Minting
Simeon owns the minting and Economic system. Money must be used to pay taxes, buy a $10,000 weekly travel pass, land, play games and view media, but land and travel expenses.

Crazy heat. That's a 100 average, not top speed. He's hit 102.7 before.

Happy Monday! I spent the last three days in zoom class, so my brain is a little fried! Today's post is fueled by the delicious leftover Pad Prik Khing I have waiting for me for lunch from THAI (The House of Authentic Ingredients). Would also recommend their Khao Soi, or really anything on the menu.
The school I'm in is an interfaith seminary, which is pretty much the opposite of what you might expect from a data scientist, but we all contain multitudes. My college thesis advisor once said "two roads diverged in a wood, and Seth took both of them." I'm excited to spend the day away from my laptop, but like the character in that Robert Frost poem, I've got promises to keep, so let's get into it.
Someday I might make a real methodology post but today is not that day. It's nothing too complicated though, I just grab the rest of season game-by-game win probabilities from 538's ELO model and use them to simulate the rest of the season 10,000 times. Why 10,000? I don't know, it's a nice big number and it only takes my MacBook about half an hour to do it, even with the wildly inefficient way I wrote the code. For simulating the play-in tournament, I just assume the home team has a 60% chance of winning. Perfect? No. Good enough? Probably.
Yesterday was a scoreboard-watching day and we didn't get a ton of help as the Nugs, Pels, Clippies, and Lakes all lost. One important exception is that the Suns lost to the lowly Thunder, which puts them 5.5 games behind us and basically locks us into at least a 3 seed and the division title (99.3% chance at winning the division and legitjuice/ getting a really nice payout on that +30000 bet). So the only real change from yesterday is that our chance at the 1 seed went down almost 5 points to about 6% but our chance at ending below the 3 seed is now under 1% (it's 0.7%, the other end of that 99.3% shot at winning the division).
We've got almost a 70% chance at 50+ wins now, which is honestly just crazy. Not crazy wrong, I believe the number, it's just crazy thinking back to when we were all like "I think this team has a good chance to make the play-in." The 50-win mark went up about 1% compared to yesterday, which I'm guessing is because the Suns and Blazers ELO ratings took a hit and we play them 3 more times total (1 Suns, 2 Blazers).
First round opponent hasn't changed much from yesterday except the Lakers are down a little and the Wolves are up, which I don't really have an easy explanation for except that the Thunder won yesterday, which makes it a little harder for the Lakers to get into the first play-in and a lot harder for them to get to the 6 seed. One minor change is I went back to the table showing opponent by seed, which is a lot easier now that there's really only 4 seed options for the Kings. Each cell in the table is a percentage of the overall. So for example, there's a 21.1% chance we face the Warriors in the first round. There's a 0.8% that's a 1v8 matchup, an 8% chance it's 2v7, 12.3% it's 3v6 and 0.1% it's 4v5. 0.8+8+12.3+0.1 is 21.2, which isn't 21.1 but that's just because of rounding.
Interesting matchup in Utah tonight, mostly just interesting because the last two games against the Jazz have been nail-biters. Let's hope for a nice SLC beam-lighting tonight.

Myquals:Currently in 12th grade, just finished my board exams. I’ll be taking the NEET exam as well, but this is what I wanna go for- BASLP. I do know of the AIISH Mysore and Ali Yavar Jung Mumbai The internet is definitely not that helpful, it’s not providing a proper list for the top colleges for this course in India. Please suggest.

I've been married to my wife for 16 years and we've been together for 20 years. We're in our late 30's, early 40's. We have one kid who is fairly young and I'm continually bothered by the idea that my wife isn't really that good of a wife and she isn't a good team member.
I genuinely enjoy her personality and love her presence; it's weird but I only dwell on the bad stuff when she's not around and I'm pretty happy when she is around. Overall, I'm nagged by some generalities that I believe to be true. Of course, I'm focusing only on the negatives here, so it seems one-sided, but there's a lot of positives. In general, the negatives are:
She generally doesn't do anything to help me and rarely if ever does anything nice for me. We almost got a divorce at one point because I spent two weeks of my free time putting in a new floor (that she wanted) in some of our bedrooms and I was out of clean underwear in my drawers so I was having to come downstairs every morning to get the clean underwear (that I had washed). I asked her if she could put away my laundry so I didn't have to walk around our house naked every morning and she rudely said, "I'm not doing your laundry." Granted, she was pulling full time duty taking care of our toddler but my request wasn't exactly unreasonable. That wasn't the only reason, but more like the straw that broke the camel's back for me to bring up the idea of divorce to the point of filling out paperwork and discussing how we were going to split finances and custody. It was also shortly after the death of my only parent and she was very insensitive to my loss and after I flew home from the funeral she asked, "Did you even cry?" Sure, I don't show a lot of emotion as I'm fairly stoic, but I thought that was rude, insensitive, and totally uncalled for. Of course, we ended up not getting a divorce, mainly because every time I agreed on a number to pay her out, she would raise the amount again, partly due to the encouragement of her mother (I saw her texts). Her mom was buying her divorce books (that I found in the closet) and that lead to me hating her mom (on principle) and she hasn't been over to our house since then and I haven't seen her since then (about 4 years ago). And another big reason I didn't push for divorce is because our kid was under 5 and my attorney basically said I'd be lucky to get 25% custody, which I was not okay with.
I found out several years ago that she is kind of a compulsive liar and she was telling her mom a bunch of untrue things about me to presumably gain sympathy. Things such as, I never help out around the house or with our kid, I'm bipolar, that I'm going to therapy with a men's help group, and odd things like I bought Christmas cookie cutters and used them to make Christmas cookies with our kid. I also found out she lied about a big wreck on a highway and a parking lot confrontation. I found this all out because she had a dash cam with audio and I wanted to see this huge crash she witnessed so I pulled the SD card to look through the video and found out how much she lies while she talked on the phone while driving. I did confront her about all of this but she has an inability to admit to the fact that she lies, and of course she tore out her dash cam. Maybe she has since stopped lying, who knows. I suspect it sometimes but can't prove it. For example, she got sick with what seemed like food poisoning and I asked if she went out to lunch with her girlfriend (they spent the afternoon together driving around and shopping), she said no, and I asked what she ate for lunch, and she said, "Just whatever was around the house." That obviously seemed like a lie, especially considering I know from her dash cam videos that she likes to treat herself to double bacon cheeseburgers occasionally, but not something I'm going to stress about enough to call her out or play detective. In general, I don't think she lies to me often, but sometimes I wonder. I know it's damn near impossible for her to admit that she doesn't know something, like the definition of a word, so she will make something up and act like she was pretty close to right, and if not, she'll imply she knew there was another definition or useable context. It's just a part of her personality I've come to accept, and I assume it was something she learned in childhood from having mean scary-ass father and to avoid punishment, and her older sister is also known to be a compulsive liar to a much greater extent.
When it comes to housework and paying bills, I pay almost all the bills and do most of the housework. I realize people have a bias to believe they do more than other people, but I do the dishes damn near 100% of the time and, one time when I mentioned that in passing, she disagreed with me. I pressed her, because I was shocked she wouldn't agree, and she thought about it for a second and finally said, "The only reason you think you do more dishes than me is because you make more dishes than me." Mind blown. I feel like we're living in different realities. I think I also do most of the cleaning because I highly value cleanliness and her, not as much. I once stopped wiping kitchen counters to see how long it would take for her to clean them ... 2 weeks. Another example, my car is clean pretty much all the time; hers is a trash heap pretty much all the time.
When it comes to bills, I pay most of the bills except for our gym membership and phone bill. We make close to the same amount of money (she's a school teacher and we're not rich or well off), so I brought up the fact that I'm paying all the bills and she needs to contribute more. She honestly thought we split the bills fairly because she pays our phone bill, gym bill, and goes to Target once in a while to get stuff for the house and because she buys all the clothes for our kid. I do all the grocery shopping for our house and I buy almost everything we need for our home, so the Target thing is almost irrelevant, but that was her argument. I also do the grocery shopping because I'm into fitness and eating healthy, and when she does the grocery shopping she will go without a list and buy things we already have and come home with more junk food than I think is reasonable. Today, she offered to split the grocery list (we go to Costco and Fred Meyer) so she took the Fred Meyer list and said she would swing by after hanging out with her girlfriend; I thought that was nice, but she didn't end up going shopping, but still somehow managed to come home with a big bag of Doritos. She did start contributing more financially, recently, but again, I feel like we're living in different realities. I should mention, I've set up ALL of my bank accounts as joint accounts and she has all of her bank accounts as her own (I occasionally make her pull her credit report to look for fraud, so I know she's not running up debt or hiding something). She's generally pretty frugal, but hasn't saved up near as much as me for retirement, mainly because my employer has a good match, and she is saving with a public pension so I'm not even sure how that works. I just know that when we worked with a financial planner a few years ago she had about half as much saved as she thought she did, and only about a third of what would be considered on target, and I had to nag her for 2 years to open a Roth IRA.
I think she's kind of lazy, but that's not exactly correct. I've thought about it and realized it's more accurate to say she generally doesn't do anything proactively. Simple example being she won't fill up the dog water bowl (for her dog ... Yes, technically our dog, but she wanted it and I made it clear in the beginning that if push-comes-to-shove it was 100% her responsibility) unless she sees it's empty whereas I fill it up regularly because I realize the water gets gross, the bowl needs to be cleaned, and the dog doesn't like to drink the last inch or two of water. Making a to-do list is a practically a foreign concept to her but something I pretty much live by.
She had a dream one time that I died and I said, "That would suck for me!" She said, "You! What about us? You'd be dead. We're the ones that would have to live without you." That blew my mind, especially because I pay for some generous life insurance in case I die and she doesn't pay for any in case she dies.
I asked her if she wanted to buy grave sites (when her mother was going through the process of buying them) and she goes, "No, what if I hate you when I'm old and don't want to be buried next to you." Mind blown.
A lot of this stuff weighs on me and I've thought about getting a divorce every day for the last few years. I generally think I'm probably happier and better off with her than without her because I'm not extremely social and I'm somewhat pessimistic, so I doubt I'd be able to find a better woman. I also want to be part of my kids life, and I think a lot of that would be taken away from me if we got a divorce.
Our sex life is fine, not perfect by any means, but good enough; if anything, sex is the major reason we're still together. She is not really that into sex or motivated to have sex, so I really don't worry about her cheating. I'm not a fool, I'm not naive, and if I had any suspicion she was cheating, I would find out ... just want to stress that that's not an issue.
We never ever discuss our future. I think this is more of a quirk of her personality. She doesn't like to think about budgeting, or retirement, or to do lists or car maintenance. I've thought before that she's still kind of like a teenager with a job and car keys; she's not irresponsible, but I'd laugh (to myself) if anyone called her responsible.
We generally don't fight a lot or have a lot of arguments, but we did have one recently. I was trying to get her to help me make a meal plan (only for dinner) for the week so I could get the right groceries. She's generally a picky eater and and we've kind of come to the unofficial agreement that she cooks dinner and I cook breakfast and lunches. She doesn't do any dishes, doesn't do any grocery shopping, and generally doesn't do any cleaning in the kitchen so this is more than fair in my opinion. She takes our kid to after school activities so her amount of time varies each night, and sometimes she needs something quick. I will eat anything she cooks, I'm not picky. I just wanted her to pick what she was willing to eat and willing to cook, which we've done many many times in the past and have many prior examples of weekly meal plans. She kind of whined and says, "I don't know, what do you want," and I lost my cool, got super pissed off, yelled at her and called her a shitty wife before walking away and locking myself in my office because I was so angry. She unlocked my door with a screwdriver to let herself in and I pushed her out. She thought that was violent and she said I hurt her and she was calling the police, so I told her if she calls the police that, " ... we're done forever." Of course, keep in mind for perspective, I brought up all of our almost-divorce details in this short post that happened over the span of a 20 year relationship. Having a kid definitely put a strain on our relationship... absolutely great and wonderful kid, but we moved to a different state for jobs and therefore no family around to help us, no long term friends, and we're not religious enough to go to church (we tried a few times in the past, but always felt like they pushed tithes too hard), and we don't really go on dates anymore ... Back to the thing about me paying all the bills ... not much money leftover for fun stuff. We barely ever eat out, and occasionally go out to coffee and only get fast food if we need the convenience. I asked her a few days ago if she misses going out to bars and eating out a lot and she said something like, "No, I'd much rather go out to coffee or lunch with you and our little one," so as far as I know, she's happy with our lifestyle.
I realize it probably sounds a little bit like I'm the woman in the relationship and she's the man. The irony is not lost on me. When we hang out with other couples, I frequently hear comments to the effect of, "I wish my husband did that." It actually really bothers me because it highlights the fact that she doesn't do as much as other wives and it makes the other husbands uncomfortable and feel like they need to defend themselves.
And in case you're thinking she's a "Daddy's little girl" that got everything she wanted. That's not the case. Her parents divorced when she was about 5 and she almost never saw or talked with her father because he lived several states away. We were both raised by single mothers who never got child support for most of our lives, both had two other siblings, we were very poor (and sometimes argue about who was poorer), and we both got jobs at a young age and worked our way through college and paid for it ourselves. If anything, our similarities in upbringing is a big part of why we were good for each other.
What do you think? How can I change my mindset about my relationship? I'm having trouble looking forward to MY future.

I've noticed a trend with most college football players and NFL players and how they always cite their faith in interviews and bible phrases on their IG bios. Why is this the case? Where as soccer players or hockey players are not as religious.

At this point I am so annoyed by the damn matchmaking. It keeps on matching me to players that hardly have a 100 matches under their belt and the only held items they have are Leftovers and Potion.
For the past three days I have been match to atleast 1 player who has 0 points, 0 knockouts, 0 assists and less than 1000 damage along with 1 AFK player who hasnt even moved from the beginning of the match.
What do the developers think before they make a matchmaking system? They aren't 10 yeal old kids who can't be knowing how to solve the problem. I am at Masters in ranked and havw started to play random matches to improve my winrate. But everytime I get matched to such players who dont even know how to move around the map properly and just keep spamming basic attacks and use their unite move on baltoys and aipoms. I can carry an entire match on my own, no doubt, but even for that I need players who actively participate in battles and can atleast knockout the opposition teammates when I have already reduced their health to almost zero? But no, they keep on passing by them and attack wild mons.
Cant these guys do atleast 1 thing right with this matchmaking system?

Hi y’all I was hoping some of you could give me some advice. I’m 23, recently out of college and started working my first job. I currently still live at home with my parents and plan to stay there for at least a few more months. That being said I still have little to no living expenses.
I am currently contributing 33% of my paycheck to my 401k right now and have allocated 75% to VOO - Vanguard S&P 500 and 25% to FTIHX - Fidelity Total International. By the end of the year I expect somewhere between $8,000 and $10,000 to be contributed to my 401k depending on when I move out and have to decrease my contribution.
I also have maxed out my IRA at $6,500 for 2023; however I have not made any final decision on where to allocate these funds. This where I’m asking for any advice you could offer.
I’m willing to be extremely aggressive because I’m only 23 and Retirement is ≈ 40 years in the future. I could do something simple and go with 100% FSKAX, but this also doesn’t seem aggressive enough.
I inquired with my parents financial advisor about opening an IRA with them, but I decided not to because of the 1% fee on contributions they charge. They sent me their plan for someone in my situation and had a portfolio of 42% Large Cap, 31% International, 16% Emerging Markets, and 11% Small Cap.
Any advice on my situation regarding allocation and funds to choose at fidelity are much appreciated. Sorry, I’m still new to all this so apologies if I am misunderstanding and terms/concepts.

Hammer decks make up a really small part of the arena meta right now but I was surprised at just how quickly it ran through ranked historic. So here's my list:
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5490698#paper

Why?

• Of the last 100 games it won 65, despite me being a generally bad player, making many mistakes. Also using sub optimal lands that slow it down until I get more wildcards.
• The deck achieves turn 2 wins from time to time and consistently turn 3 or 4. Faster than goblins, elves, burn etc. Angels, Reanimator and Jund are also too slow for us.
• Only threat is cheap removal and they will need a lot of it. So the worst match up is Izzet, but it felt pretty even. I suppose mill can be an issue if you don't end them fast enough, however you still beat mill more than you lose. Pretty much spanks most of the meta in my experience. Took me from the bottom of platinum to mythic in a few hours.

How?

• 4x Colossus Hammer and 4x Belt of Giant Strength as our hammers. Boros gives us the best threats to wield them, but splashing green for Belt is so very worth it.
• 4x Cacophony Scamp, 4x Fireblade Charger, are both warriors who can receive the full blessings of 4x Resolute Strike. They have the added bonus of pinging any target for their full power upon death and Cacophany Scamp triggers a selfsac option upon hitting. Consider now if you will, the 2x Fling to double that at instant speed. Either way, 20+ damage to the face in the first few turns is insane. Meanwhile, 4x Goblin Gaveleer is also a warrior with trample and pumps upon equip.
• 4x Khemba picks up a hammer for free. 4x his Outfitter to permanently reduce equip costs to 1 either in your hand or on the field!
• 3x Fighter Class is the perfect tutor to help us keep more starting hands. Also useful to tutor up 1x Shadowspear to get over the top/lifegain occasionally.
• 1x Lurrus as companion means we can recover from boardwipe or mass removal fairly well.
• Landwise I kept it to 22. Much improvement to be made in the land department so this deck only gets better from here.

Tips n' tricks:

• The belt equips for free if you're already wielding the hammer.
• Scamp and Charger are great for chump blocking to zap extra elves goblins and wardens etc.
• Don't be afraid to mulligan more than once. I have won many games starting with 5 cards.
• Having Hammer on the field and holding up Strike while attacking with a warrior catches people off guard a lot. All of a sudden that 1-1 they let through is hitting them for 10+
• Currently testing an extra Fling instead of Spear - seems solid.

Honestly there isn't much to say. Played the Beta and didn't like it, but still gave the game a chance. Been playing non stop since the official release. I'm decent with K/D at 1.52 and win/loss ratio at 0.70 something. I played only TDM, although I explored other modes occasionally. I played ranked and, while I did decently, I couldn't win a match to save my life. All in all, the game is alright but it's far from being top 5 CoDs. What did it for me wasn't the game itself, but the lack of accountability and support by the developers/Activision as a whole. Game is seriously flawed in so many aspects but Activision keeps pushing paid bundles and micro-transactions, rather than fixing the mess. With every update I hoped things would get better, but I kept getting diassapointed. So much that I couldn't take it anymore. I remember when Medal of Honor was the game play and then CoD came along. I have played the game and been a fan for a bit, but I don't like the way Activision is running things atm. Barely any double xp events, throttled battle pass XP, bogus camo challenges that do not track, broken features, game crashing errors, poor server optimization, etc etc. Oh but lo' and behold this new "sanguine" bundle. Really top of the line shit. I wouldn't take that treatment from any other company, so why take it from Activision.

Hi y’all I was hoping some of you could give me some advice. I’m 23, recently out of college and started working my first job. I currently still live at home with my parents and plan to stay there for at least a few more months. That being said I still have little to no living expenses.
I am currently contributing 33% of my paycheck to my 401k right now and have allocated 75% to VOO - Vanguard S&P 500 and 25% to FTIHX - Fidelity Total International. By the end of the year I expect somewhere between $8,000 and $10,000 to be contributed to my 401k depending on when I move out and have to decrease my contribution.
I also have maxed out my IRA at $6,500 for 2023; however I have not made any final decision on where to allocate these funds. This where I’m asking for any advice you could offer.
I’m willing to be extremely aggressive because I’m only 23 and Retirement is ≈ 40 years in the future. I could do something simple and go with 100% FSKAX, but this also doesn’t seem aggressive enough.
I inquired with my parents financial advisor about opening an IRA with them, but I decided not to because of the 1% fee on contributions they charge. They sent me their plan for someone in my situation and had a portfolio of 42% Large Cap, 31% International, 16% Emerging Markets, and 11% Small Cap.
Any advice on my situation regarding allocation and funds to choose at fidelity are much appreciated. Sorry, I’m still new to all this so apologies if I am misunderstanding and terms/concepts.

To effectively promote your casino website, create content that appeals to the target audience. Doing this will draw in new visitors and boost your SEO ranking at the same time.
Content creation for casinos can range from promotions and responsible gambling, to slot machines, poker machines and rankings. If you want your website to draw in more visitors, there are several types of casino content you can create.

Promotions

Casinos provide various promotions to attract both new and existing players. These may include free spins, deposit bonuses, reload bonuses, VIP programs, and more; however it is essential that you read the terms and conditions prior to taking advantage of any offers.
Some casinos provide promotions to promote new games, such as poker or blackjack. These offers give players the chance to test out these popular titles without spending any money out of pocket.
These offers are an efficient and successful way to attract and retain loyal players. Additionally, they provide an opportunity for gamers to discover new casino games.
One popular promotion is cashback, which guarantees players a return on their wagers if they lose. It works similarly to risk-free bets on sports betting sites and can help prevent big losses.
Another type of promotion is a refer-a-friend bonus, which rewards new players who refer their friends. Usually, these bonuses consist of $50 in casino cash per friend who signs up and makes a deposit.

Responsible gambling

Many gambling establishments, including casinos, have policies that encourage players to gamble responsibly. This may involve setting time and money limits, taking breaks, and using other techniques to prevent problem gambling.
Some individuals may be more vulnerable to addiction than others, particularly those with family or financial difficulties or social or psychological problems.
If you feel as if you may have a gambling issue, it is essential to seek help. Many confidential hotlines offer counseling services and other forms of support.
Players can take control of their spending and track winnings and losses with programs designed to assist them. These can be an excellent way to stay on top of finances, avoid getting into debt or becoming addicted.
Many states have passed legislation to promote responsible gambling. These regulations necessitate casino employees to receive training on responsible gaming, limit alcoholic drinks on the floor and restrict gambling for patrons who appear visibly intoxicated. They also mandate property signage and advertising include responsible gaming messaging or a toll-free helpline number.

Slot machines

Slot machines are a widely-played casino game that can be found both at physical and online casinos. While they may provide hours of enjoyment and entertainment, their high risk factor also puts some people off.
They use a random number generator to decide whether a spin will result in a win or loss and how much payout the player will receive. The program runs through thousands of numbers every second until someone presses the button that ends play.
Programmers have used programming to alter the odds of a symbol appearing. This enables manufacturers to fit more symbols on a reel without making it too complex for users.
The primary objective of playing slot machines is to receive a substantial payout at the end of each round, commonly referred to as Return to Player (RTP) rate.
Casinos usually have specific regulations for slot machines. These can include player etiquette and how much can bet per machine. These guidelines are put in place to prevent players from becoming addicted to gambling.

Poker machines

Casino players have their pick of various games, but two of the most popular options are slots and video poker. Each has its own distinctive characteristics which make these titles worth trying out.
Slot machines use a random number generator to determine the outcome of each spin, meaning your chances for winning are independent of other spins on the machine.
Slot machine odds for getting a royal flush are not nearly as favorable as those found at poker tables, which is one of the primary reasons why many people opt to play poker instead of slots.
Video poker machines have become a favorite among online gamblers due to their new, simplified way of playing the game and potential for higher stakes wagers.
They allow players to keep winnings. This feature makes the game less risky and increases your chances of making money.
Poker machines also employ a parallel dealing method, which involves selecting five cards simultaneously. This differs from the serial dealing approach which places all replacement cards in one stack.

Rankings

Casino rankings are an effective way to promote your online casino site. These posts give people the chance to read about the top casinos in the industry, which may increase brand loyalty and customer satisfaction levels.
These rankings can be especially beneficial to newcomers to online gambling, providing an insight into what games to try and the bonuses offered by various casinos.
Content that answers the most frequently asked questions about casinos is an effective way to increase your website's search engine ranking. These inquiries may range from how to win at slot machines to which software a particular casino uses.
In addition to answering these inquiries, you can create guides that outline the rules of each game. Doing this will enable people to comprehend what needs to be done in order to win and ultimately increase customer satisfaction levels.
SEO in the casino niche can be a challenging endeavor, so having an experienced team on board is essential. Our SEO specialists will guarantee that your backlinks are properly placed to boost rankings and increase traffic.

Bonuses

Online casinos provide a range of bonuses to attract new players and keep them loyal to the site. These can take the form of free spins, bonus money or both.
Before claiming any casino bonus, it's essential to read its terms and conditions. These will determine how much you can receive as well as how much wagering must be done in order to take out your winnings.
These terms also determine whether or not you can utilize your bonus funds for betting on sportsbook or entering DFS contests. If it turns out that there are limitations, then it would be best not to accept the offer.
Most casino bonuses require you to meet a playthrough requirement, which is the number of times you must wager your bonus before being able to withdraw it. The requirement varies between casinos but generally ranges between 50-30 times the bonus amount. Furthermore, requirements may differ based on which games you play and your country of residence.

Cheating

Cheating in a casino is strictly prohibited and those caught can face legal consequences for their crimes. Cheating is used as an attempt to gain an unfair advantage over the house or other players, leading to severe repercussions for those found guilty.
Cheating can be accomplished through various techniques, such as card counting and using rigged equipment. While these tactics may be beneficial for poker and other card games, they could pose serious risks to casinos.
One of the most prevalent methods to cheat at a casino is through hand mucking, also known as card switching. This scam has cost millions of dollars in losses.
Another popular cheating technique involves collaboration with another player. This enables the cheater to exchange cards without raising suspicion from other players or the dealer.
Additionally, some gamblers have been known to mark cards with invisible ink. Although this method of cheating is relatively new, it can still be very hard to detect if you're not paying close attention.
