Hi. I'm looking for a good 3X for C2(north lands)-C3(Serfing city on the island country) QR. It has more than 2/3 of fat of $550-$600 ticket, but I managed only to find a cut of $100 max. this 3x is a journey from Petronas towers to m e s. I would appreciate some hints to cut this fat:). Thanks!

First step would be to read the wiki which is at the top of the page in giant red letters

That also contains a link to the rules of this thread, several of which you have broken.

LINK TO RULES

Hi flylonghaul,

Could you please tell me which rule I broke? I'm asking cause "Code any “tricks” most likely means that I coded it in a wrong way. I don't know what is the correct way but after reading whole 3k pages I saw the same way of coding and nobody was complaining. I can't even guess where can I find more advanced way of coding cause it's hidden from everybody except those who have been here from the very beginning. And, honestly, I don't see "several" other rules I broke.

Best regards

Rule 1: Which is the basis that this thread works on and stated at the top of the page.
This is not the beg-it thread.

Rule 3: Code any tricks

You did not code the trick, you clearly stated the route that you used as a strike. Please remove any such information.

Rule 5: Do not code your questions

"Hi. I'm looking for a good 3X for C2(north lands)-C3(Serfing city on the island country)"


There is absolutely no way that if you have read the whole ~3000 pages that you would not know this basic information.

Cheers

Could you please explain me a difference between my and this message except he didn't ask about the hints. I repeat hints and not a complete solution. I saw a many people asked about hints. Please also pay attention that amiras said it was "well done". Sorry I can't past picture from phone, so I just copied the text:

Ok, so not really sure what the post from 9 years ago has to do with the discussion at hand, it is completely irrelevant, partly as it has nothing to do with what we are talking about and partly because it was before the rules that I have linked were implemented. Again, you would know all of this if you had in fact read the 3,000 pages like you have stated, which you have clearly not done.

Honestly, this isn't that hard to understand. Try and focus on what I said.
You have openly posted the cities that you used for a strike. What is it about this that you are not getting.

Ok, to be completely honest I read 1,5k pages entirely, cause somebody created an ebook and I used that one. Then I ran through the rest not so precisely, cause most of the messages were like "I'm gonna fly AAA-BBB, tell me YYY-XXX" or just talking about nothing... So I thought rules presented in first messages were agreed.

I at least tried to code my message (in way I saw it in this thread) and I didn't want somebody to tell me this XXX-YYY I need. I wanted and still want hints and direction where to search for it. Believe me I'm not the guy who did nothing and want an easy solution. I've been experimenting at different OTAs for a month already and have found some other 3x but all of them are not so successful.

Amazing

Yeah, I know how it feels when you don't follow the rules and people get so angry without a real reason.

I can't understand why people can't be more friendly. It could be much less wasted time and efforts if there wasn't so unrespectful tone in replies... Like a teacher to a student.

I had no bad intentions here. Just hoped that I could find a help. Not for free (that's why I mentioned my 3x, sorry that it was so obvious, I explained a logic in a previous message)... But faced something different.

I understand that there is no help I could expect in this thread for solving my problem. So relax I'm not going to bother you with this any longer,

Have a good day

People are here more than friendly if you prove real effort. This thread is different from the others and the study of previous posts will move you on. Violation of rules and disclosure to you of "coded" places now means frequent ending of opportunities for others. It's more than a real reason

P.S. The best things are free...
