  1. nothing has loaded even without filters. nothing else to try.
  2. i cannot even see a horse. it's all loading no matter what filters or no filters. phone and computer. geez
  3. so how does a team doctor have this kind of pull? was it just that Bo knew he was a pedo and looked the other way time after time so that Bo was now handcuffed to the pedo doc if he went down? I just can't understand the loyalty to team doc who is a known pedo
  4. i did not get my stable registered in time for the last drop. I listened to a Q&A last night on twitter and is basically boiled down to - have a plan. if you are going for Z6-Z10, don't worry about color or much else. these are going to go fast. with the more expensive horses, you can probably take a little more time to filter around. - they supposedly improved the platform so you won't be wasting time trying to buy an already bought horse. it should refresh when something is bought. - rest of the advice was all over the map. some said their phones worked faster, some said use a comp. It's just 10 minutes from the clock starting to buy 1 horse, then the last 5 mins are YOLO. It's not a 10 minute cool down from your first purchase. each link is supposed to be stable specific, so sharing links probably won't work.
  5. did you get wave 3? I got wave 2 and it said 8:15 EST I think wave 1 was the people who got a faulty link from the TERA drop.
  6. agree. but the thing is, there are very few Z1-Z4s left to sell. Like 35 or so (out of the original 1000) from each category. The latest avg sell price for a Z1 was 13.8ETH ($34.2K) which is pretty close to the drop price of ($36.9K). The floor asking prices are trending up to 15-16ETH which is right at drop. The one that is going to have the most pressure is the Z3 Szabo. Drop price of $13.6K, current floor of $11K.
  7. yeah, i don't know if it's been proven or not if the horse market is pegged to USD or ETH. I am sure it's mix of both for the stuff on openseas. in my head i see all it as ETH and tend to think along those lines, but it's big difference between back when ETH was $4K and now. it's pretty much been at ~$2500 (+/-) since May 21st when it dropped over the course of a few day from it's high.
  8. So, it looks like the drop will be on Thursday, 6/10. not sure on the times yet.
  9. Thanks for posting. In my mind after getting vaxd I like to think i am 100% immune to the c19, but even with the super high eff. rate of the vaxs, it's still possible to get. Glad you had no complications
  10. for Clear, check your most frequented airports to see if they have service. Clear is pretty good at Love but I think it's only at the Delta terminal in DFW. It has been super handy for the wife (no pics) as all the airports she flies for work are covered. I flew mostly to Ohare from DFW (via AA) and last time i checked it was not worth the yearly fee as i would not get much benefit.
  11. my 13yo got his 2nd dose on Friday. had a mild fever and the sweats early Sat morning and a little bit sluggish through Sunday afternoon but nothing really to write home about. This was similar to some of his buddies who got their 2nd around the same time. Glad it's done and now waiting to see results from the next age group down so the 11yo can possibly get it
  12. ZED is saying that breeding will start again back half of June (after the tentatively scheduled drop hopefully next week). To breed a male horse, it costs nothing to put them up in the stud farm. If your or another owner want to breed, a fee is paid by the female horse and the male's owner gets to keep a portion of that. The game gets a cut of every breeding fee. If you breed your own horse, there is 35% discount on the fee paid. I have not found anything that explicitly lays out how the process works. - the male owner commits to put their horse in the stud farm for 1, 3 or 7 days (the longer the stay, the higher your cut). horses cannot race during this time. What i don't know is if the fee can be changed while in the stud farm or if you have to wait out the entire period at the set price. here is a little google sheet that i cobbled together. you can play around with the bloodline, breed, # days etc.. to get an idea of what fees might there for putting a horse out to stud. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AWbCuyVrsEwO1XGdN1ObYEZeLAwARxdw/view?usp=sharing - fields in blue are the inputs. I think it has the latest formulas as everything changed from when they briefly opened up breeding back in early April. The market for Legendary and Exclusive Nakamotos has gone through the roof right now. Everyone is anticipating a scarcity of Nak blood in the breeding pool.
  13. soooo prince for the 1st three picks? i'll allow it.
  14. misleading title is misleading. That's not a pick up game. if it's a true pick up game, I am taking Shaq. aint no charges in pickup games who is going to stop that?
  15. holy S! just saw this beast https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/15745 10 races at class I - 6 wins, 2 place, 1 show and then 1 7th. for sale for 4.5ETH pulled sub 2 odds in G-race and pretty much sub 4 in all other races. curious as to why they stopped racing. maybe it broke the game or something. looks like the drop and breeding are pushed out. new drop date is ~Friday 6/11 and then breeding to follow.
  16. i just assume Texas has a stand your ground law. basically the portable castle doctrine law, where if you get scared you can legally start blasting anywhere you can legally 'constitutional carry'
  17. who is responsible when a human does it? The people starting these missions DGAF and know they are not accountable. they probably keep terrorist bodies in deep freeze and will toss them in the wreckage of the building and then say 'look! a terrorist. we got 'em!'
  18. we had ordered from door dash, which we rarely use, and we could see that our food was ready and picked up, but not moving. text the driver and he said that door dash was making him wait for another order at another nearby restaurant where the food was not even ready yet. Given that our food had already been sitting for 10-15 minutes, we said and cancelled. I don't blame the driver, but DD's algorithm that said 'Yeah, it's cool to leave that order sitting to 20+ minutes while waiting on another order to finish up' is all fucked up. We use the hell out of uber eats and generally no problems. now that i can go and have drink at the bar while waiting on food order, I have outsourced uber eats with myself for the most part.
  19. 2 ways to look at it. is this really that much of a leap between firing a smart missile? you program it to seek the position chosen. It flies to that position and then does its damnedest to deliver its payload to that position. With the drone, you would tell it fly into a location. Then give it parameters on firing/releasing payload. It's not (for now) coming up with its own parameters. If it's told to shoot people with boomer sooner tattooed on their forearm, it will keep going until no more targets meet that criteria. It is not checking back with base after each target acquisition, but just executing to its parameters. it's not suddenly going to think 'you know what, those cocksuckers from aggyland need to die as well' and start firing at them. this is a weak sauce argument for it, but theoretically you could have it only target people that are holding weapons or have it not shoot kids by putting those parameters in its mission programming. The other way to look at it is that this is a horrible advancement in weaponizing drones that is the first step in installing a truer AI version that is given freedom to react on its own. These things will plague any any forward bases in hostile territory in the near future carrying IEDs and trying to get into a base.
  20. Thanks. guy was advertising on twitter about Z2 and Z3 below floor price. this one was listed at ~3.6 or so and i put a bid in at 3 and sorta forgot about it. The Z2 Naka went for just over 6 ETH i think. yeah, i have not seen anything either way. breeding is where ZED will get the most money to put back into game and make their nut after drops are done. Since they have restricted the # of foals and number of covers that can happen every month, I think they will leave it open for a pretty long time; at least 3 months. All it does is increase the level of horse you need to race as better and better runners are discovered and this turns to a vicious cycle that perpetuates more demand for breeding to keep competing in races. - This will output a TON of trash horses that may serve no purpose at all. maybe they come up with a way to players to 'recycle' glue horses for perks/rewards. That's the biggest downside i see to leaving breeding open indefinitely. Then you throw in the other variables like how they run in the rain, top speed etc... and some of those trash horses might have a redeeming trait that is worth breeding (match your decent horse that is low in that trait with a trash horse that is high). Just spitballing - They also may/will expand the racing tiers. maybe make sub tiers based on odds with in the class (just guessing). They have said something about finding places for every horse to race. As they get more $ into the game and if the base keeps expanding, there is no reason to not expand on the number of races as long as they are still filling up in a reasonable amount of time.
  21. yeah, might target a Z6 or Z7 or maybe just a Buterin Z8. Those unraced are still selling above drop prices right now. Everything Z1-Z5 seems to be right at or below drop price. Z4/Z5 are right at last drop price. So the value is getting those Z6-Z10 in the drop. The 3-5x premium for unraced Buterin could be coming down as 1000s more of them should be in the next drop. so that's why i will target Z6-Z8 for something. if those Z1-Z4 go for higher than last drop, then the floor will rise on the market. i scored this bad boy a few days ago https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/1103. unraced Z3 Szabo colt for about 1/2 of what they were going for in the last drop. A bunch of these sold really cheap from uninformed sellers and the brokers snagged the 4-5 that were available for 1.75-2.5 ETH and i bought one off of them for 3 ETH. Market is still pretty high on them around 4 ETH for unraced. There are only around ~70 genesis horses left each of Z1-Z4, so I think those will jump in price at the drop even though market is at or below. See the chart below for how many are left and how many sold in the last drop. This could be the last drop ever for the Z1-Z5. The market is really picking up on Legendary Nakamotos no matter the racing results probably due to breeding. I have been bidding like crazy on dormant accounts trying to wake up someone to sell. There are soooo many Z1/Z2/Z3/Z4 Genesis unraced horses out there in seemingly dormant accounts. If they stay dormant and since there are only 1000 minted each of those, they will be even more scarce in the game. I plan on breeding that Z3 and even with setting the fee low around .2 ETH (min would be .1) that would generate .34 ETH per month. I have not been able to see any ranges for stud fees for unraced. I think i could get at least .35 ETH per as trash Legendary Szabo floor price is .4 right now. That makes the pay back time on that 3ETH price about 5 months if I can fill up 3 spots per month. if this dude is right (https://zombie.racing/the-power-of-the-z1-naka-why-we-should-value-the-boys/), then the demand for the Z1-Z4 genesis should only increase as the demand for Legendary breeding (genesis sire x legendary dame) should increase as more and more legendary fillies are created every month.
  22. here is a pricing chart for all the drops so far on ZED huge jump for that last one.
