No, he's defecting

[–]fdcplsf d c 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

Probably the best thing to do if he's willing to move abroad for this. I did my 9 months and well... rip 9 months of my life.

[–]Svolaciusplaying since 2006 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

well if he leaves - he will be fined 250 eurod fine for not coming for medical check and he will get administrational fine (those euros). If he will avoid to come check heealth for a longer period of time - he might get criminal penalty and can face 2-5 years in the prison for defecting military.

Though just 1/3 of people are fit for the military and he might don't be amongst them who will be taken.

And the number is only 3000 that will be taken to conscript this year. He is just being pussy.

Fellow lithuanian here

Where did you live when you were asked to do the service?

[–]hitman8100 42ポイント43ポイント  (11子コメント)

This is just my two cents on the subject. For everyone just saying he should go and YouTube will be here when it gets back; no it won't be. Once you become a famous Youtuber, you can't just drop off the face of the Earth for nine months and expect to have the same following you did when you left. People will forget about him. Just look at Runeshark; even though they have started making videos again after a 1-2 year hiatus, there's no denying that they only have a fraction of the viewers they had before. For A Friend to go into the military would be a serious blow to his YouTube career, which is also his job and his livelihood.

[–]Rachat21IGN: Rachat 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree with you, but to be fair, runeshark was very adamant about quitting forever and never coming back.

[–]Durantye [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I haven't checked their videos for a while but it was always a channel ran by the 3 guys and only one of them has returned unless the others came back since then it wasn't even remotely the same without the other guys, plus he hasn't done things the way they did in the past, and as someone already mentioned they pretty much swore an oath that they would never return to RS so they are kind of a bad example despite the fact I agree with you :p

Chris Archie is an example of someone that managed to make a comeback and become even bigger than he was before (I don't personally watch his videos anymore but still)

[–]GatlinbeachRoger is wrong -2ポイント-1ポイント  (8子コメント)

This service even allows him to be home on the weekends lol.

He could very easily keep up his already very separated rate of videos.

[–]Durantye [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

'Very easily' is quite an incorrect statement, most of his videos are those that require an extremely long amount of time played during the week, so it is possible he could make videos on the weekend but the quality would definitely go down and he probably isn't willing to risk the consequences of such.

[–]GatlinbeachRoger is wrong [スコア非表示]  (6子コメント)

Loot from 10 hours takes 10 hours.

He's stated many times that he plays 10+ hors a day.

His videos have 0 editing.

It's not that hard man.

[–]Durantye [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

His biggest videos are his Iron Man series which he is doing 2 of now, especially since OSRS iron man vids take ages to make, his videos don't have a lot of editing but they do have some how good he is at it I wouldn't know which is the biggest deciding factor in how long editing takes. He would effectively have to cancel his 2 biggest series which are iron man and soloosrs, and he would also not be home for a large portion of the updates and likely lose out to other competition who would make videos before him, especially with content like the 10-man raids and Rune dragons coming out I can imagine he planned a significant portion of his time around those updates. 10 hour loot videos haven't been his only videos for a long time.

[–]GatlinbeachRoger is wrong [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Except that all he does on his rs3 ironman is like 5 Araxxor kills per day, which is one hour.

In any case, all it takes to retain enough views to make 10x more than a doctor is a couple medium quality vids per month. He can manage that. Easily.

Yeah I'm sure he planned a fucking 10 hour loot from rune dragons, he can spare a day for that.

[–]Durantye [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Except that he has been doing his osrs ironman as he has stated several times before which is not an hour per day unlike his daily rs3 iron man stuff. Also your $$$ for YT is pretty skewed a 150k subbed YTer isn't going to make 30-60k a month you're out of your mind if you think they make that much net income at that low of subs. The biggest twitch and YT combo people like Sodapoppin barely make 50k a month and A Friend isn't even close to having the income sources those guys have.

Also there are more than 1 update and it would require him to be quite late on his video which opens up a lot more competition with him who can make the video before him.

    There is a significant difference between a channel with 10k subs and a channel with 150+ and the fact that he barely posted much in the first place.

    A Friend is in like the 1%. He's extremely rich from playing a game.

    He receives pay during his deployment.

    He's not going broke, calm down.

    Channels like Sparc Mac stopped uploading for months after eoc, and they seem to be fine.

    [–]Durantye [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    Calm down? I'm not in anyway acting in a way that dictates the phrase 'calm down'.

    So? Maybe he doesn't want to risk his much better and more valuable income on the pay he will receive from the government.

    Sparc Mac also hopped on the Old School train hard and fast not to mention made infinitely more than A Friend to live on from accepting donations and then selling those donations for real money.

    [–]HolIow 61ポイント62ポイント  (17子コメント)

    Hello guys. I am from Lithuania. I saw nobody actually explained whole situation over here in my country. So I will help it. Yeah now we have mandatory military but that's not so big a deal. You only spend there 9 months and you even can go back to your home at weekends. You get a payment to and some discounts to doing this thing (like cheaper education and etc. ) It's actually not so bad you get a basic things of a soldier and you will learn how to live on your self. For people that are doing nothing in their lives its really good thing to learn something. Yes of course AFriend have a business in Youtube. But other who got letter have important jobs to. And he should not be so worried because in one season NEED ONLY 3K OF PEOPLE. AND PEOPLE WHO GOT LETTERS IS ABOUT 37~K So him getting to army is low chance of course there is a priority number. For example if he is in list like 3979. Yes then he has a bigger chance to get in but seriously its not so bad. He could do something more fun with his life then playing whole time Runescape..

    TL;DR; I am from Lithuania and Mandatory is not so bad over here. Just a wrong timing. (Russian and Ukraine war) that's why all scare.

    [–]iblife20/26 99s 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

    A friend says in his apartment video he makes more than most people in his country, including doctors. The money clearly doesn't matter at this point.

    [–]HolIow -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Yep. That's true he really does make more then Doctors in our country. So if money not such a big deal that 9 month brake maybe would be not so bad

    [–]kamil121050m xp 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I would say money could be the point because if he would stop making videos for 9 month he would also work his high income.

    2 questions:

    What's the difference between the smaller list and the larger? Combat?

    Also, can he be forced to go to genuine combat, then?

    [–]DeathRunerWind Anchor 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    The larger list are the ones that get drafted to do military work (about 40k people this year) but they need to pass a medical checkup to actually get into military.

    The smaller list are the ones that get drafted to do military work and pass medical checkups (3k people). They're the ones that actually go to the military.

    A Friend has eyesight issues so there is a chance that he might not pass the medical checkup.

    Source: I'm also Lithuanian.

    [–]GatlinbeachRoger is wrong -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    The country ain't at war, there's no combat for any of them.

    The big list means that it's unlikely he'll have to do anything at all, the short list meaning he'll get drafted.

    Being drafted would pretty much entail going through basic training then sitting around doing some basic job for a few months, all while paid and allowed to go home weekends, then his obligation ending.

    There's no risk, it's something he's required to do, running away is a poor idea.

    [–]Natureguy909Melee 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Thanks, so it's not as serious as it seems.

    Roger is right.

    [–]Svolaciusplaying since 2006 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Those 3k people (2k are already volunteering to join the conscript) are jsut going to pass basic military trainings and that's just all.

    9 months, weekends at home if u want, u get paid, a lot of free time.

    Just to learn how to hold rifle and work together in case of war. Those people cannot be send anywhere out of Lithuania and even in Lithuania they can't participate in any action. it's just basic training.

    After 9 months if u want u can join the army and just then u might be send somewhere in need, but most of the times u have choice what u want to do.

    Lithuania has less than 20,000 soldiers so they want at least train more people to be ready and attract more people to be soldiers for the country

    A friend is just being paranoid and a big pussy

    He can face administrational and even criminal penalties if he fails to show up for the medical check.

    [–]KarniAsadah 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    He has a good life going for him right now doing what he does and has as far as I know made no complaints about how things are going for him. Why the hell would he want to go enlist in something with the potentially of not coming back from it? Its a terrifying thought. Plus him leaving for 9 months would kill any and all interest in him. Theres no wonder his first response is defecting.

    I'm fairly sure it's illegal to flee your country to avoid being called into service, and he basically just confessed to what he's doing on the internet, so he'd have little to no chance of returning.

    Dude government protects you, give you social guarantees, creates laws etc.

    And when it asks - could you pass the medical check and if u ok, just do trainings for 9 months ? Then u say "fuck you" after your government done so much for you ?

    It's just stupid.

    It's not a big deal to get fit, learn to work in team and educate yourself.

    it is punishable by 250 euros administrational fee if u fail to show up. If u avoid conscript for a long time - u can face 2 up to 5 years in prison for defecting military

    weight loss and gain is simply calories in vs calories out. if she can't lose weight, she is eating more calories than she expends daily. any doctor can tell you this. thyroid diseases have only a moderate effect on weight loss, and that effect is only increasing the number of calories you need to cut in order to lose weight. please don't continue to propagate this bullshit about diseases preventing people from losing weight; we have an obesity crisis and that's not helping.

    Well if you saw how little and how healthy my aunt eats and how much exercise she does you would be in the same boat as i am saying what the fuck how does she way so much.

    It may not be a disease but its something she has been combating for years and years and has been truggling with her diet is not the problem which leads me to think it has something to do with her body itself.

    In a day my aunty will have Carrot sticks for lunch and celery and chicken for dinner from what i have seen she doesn't eat more then she needs to.

    She has lost a shit ton of weight but she struggles with it and fuck its unfair and sad to see because this woman is struggling and fighting and its not doing anything and when people look to people like her and say.

    It less and exercise you fatty it's not helpful because sometimes people are eating less and healthy and exercising but still don't end up losing weight.

    Personally im a bit overweight and i only eat dinner and breckfast i eat potato and meat for dinner small portions and cereal or toast for breckfast and i exercise every day.

    Weight gain can happen from alot of things medication or in my instance depression.

    I just hate the whole "Oh it's your fault you are fat" stigma because it's not true for everyone some of us get of our ass and exercise and eat as healthy as we can and still are overweight.

    If im putting more calories in then out then my body is no taking any calories out at all even though i exercise frequently because my calorie intake is very low.

    [–]canarycream [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

    if you arent losing weight, you arent counting your calories correctly. keep adjusting until you lose weight. it's really rather simple. the only problem is willpower.

    [–]RyulightorbRSN: Gillinor [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

    I have to the point i only eat dinner which is a bit of mash potato and meat.

    I am counting properly it's just my body refuses to lose weight.

    I actually have noticed i lose weight when i eat more calories though which i have started to do and now im losing alot of weight.

    It's more then just calories in and out.

    Medicine and depression etc can change your bodys metabolism.

    That's why you see alot of people when they get depression and still eat the same as before gain so much weight because there metabolism drops alot (least thats how i understand it).

    I wish it was just eat less lose weight but i know first hand it's not there are many variables that can cause you to gain or lose weight that are not related to calorie intake.

      I dare compare this to RuneScape: the whole Godless movement is about this really: why should we fight the wars of the gods? Let us have our freedom. I'm a soon-to-be-doctor (within a few months I get my practice license) and I am against wounding people in any way. No one should be forced in his life to do things such as wielding weapons or abandoning his life and work because 'his country needs him'. This is freaking Europe, we have finally gotten a peace in our lands after ages of warring between nations. it's sad to see the western powers and Russia still are doing these geopolitical shows of power.

      No, because one can objectively say that the Russians triumphed over Nazi Germany in spite of Soviet leadership. Stalin's purges of '30s decimated the command structure of the Red Army.

        It's game theory. Sure, without any conscription bloodshed would be reduced, but there's no motivation to not conscript when it means getting the upper hand in a war. And then in order to defend itself the non-despicable country will have to conscript so they don't lose.

        aka it's not despicable.

        I wish him luck with whatever loophole he tries to use or his escape. I don't blame him to be honest but it sounds like a fairly extreme thing to do.

        I dunnno. If someone came to me and said, "drop what you're doing, you're in the army now," I'd probably do the same thing.

        I suppose it depends on how patriotic you are, plus 9 months into the military when there isn't an active war going on isn't the worst draft to ever happen, if they were actively fighting Russia it would be expected for people to run but he has to abandon everything, his friends, family, a lot of his possessions most likely, to avoid 9 months of probably mostly training and work.

        [–]DivineRS [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

        I think things are different as a youtubers though, if youtubers drop off the face of the earth for 9 months it can really effect his channel in term of viewers and such, which would also effect his income.

        [–]Durantye [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

        Yeah it definitely could, but it is still a bit extreme, no doubt that it is a good idea to preserve his YT following, but still abandoning your home and everything that is with it still comes off as a bit extreme, I guess he is just passionate about his YT or scared either way I don't blame him I just personally wouldn't do it.

        [–]RsRhubarb -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

        Sounds like a publicity stunt to me, what are the chances he'll actually be drafted? and even then, if you planned to flee to another country, would you post your intentions on youtube?

        [–]Durantye [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

        Well I mean when they draft they kind of draft everyone they can that isn't in a situation they can't leave in (kids, school, guardian, taking care of a family member, ect) So yeah especially his age and lack of career (I doubt they consider his YT career as such) he is actually a prime candidate, also not over weight or any health problems that we know of, he is the definition of what you want to draft, but yeah the whole 'posting his plan online' thing is what sticks out the most, even with so many people saying 'ummm, don't post this online' he didn't take it down so either he posted it in passion and hasn't seen it since, he has a loophole that can be used regardless of what the government thinks/plans to run either way, or yeah publicity stunt, can't really see someone with only around 150k YT subs trying a publicity stunt though can't imagine it would help him gain more than a couple thousand subs at most.

        Conscription is such a fucking bullshit system all around. So happy I won't have to serve.

        Conscription is just sugarcoated slavery. Good for him!

        Mandatory military service isn't exactly conscription.

        if he gets caled and he bails the mendatory call, he might get 2 or 3 years of jail. I'am also from lithuania, he should look into that before bailing.

        Honestly I'd take the jail time. At least then you're locked in a cage away from the wars.

        If he lived in Finland, he'd serve military/ non-military service even if it means officials dragging him back to Finland in shackles from anywhere he flees to.

        [–]R8_D8_8_ATE_M8 0ポイント1ポイント  (19子コメント)

        What no! Is he quiting or just taking a break due to military?

        [–]shadowgattlerIGN: 98Fishing 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

        He's fleeing the country to escape military work

        [–]ThatCactus 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

        He wants to move country (to Latvia) so he will not have to do any military service and therefore be able to continue his youtube career.

        [–]hdshatter 5ポイント6ポイント  (16子コメント)

        9 months of no uploads would kill his youtube fame so if he goes hes pretty much screwing himself over.

        [–]XFX_Samsung 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Yup and I bet the government will give no shits that he will lose his income, apartment and probably can't continue it the same after those 9 months. A LOT will change on the internet in 9 months.

          Such a shitty situation to be in. Stop playing RS for 9 months and potentially lose your ability to source income from it in the future...to fight for a country that just ruined your life.

          On top of that, should shit go downhill, Lithuania is going to make absolutely no difference on the world stage. They're looking to acquire 3,000 more soldiers. NATO as a whole has something like eight million soldiers. As an American I guess I should like their effort but damn, Uncle Sam has plenty of volunteers, so does NATO.

          Estonia - twice smaller country and they have 300,000+ people in the reserve if needed

          So Lithuania started now little by little to re-new the conscript to have the same reserve. It's smart move

          If you neighbour has a lot of soldiers, it means you dont need it ? it's just stupid to think like that

          That's crazy. That country is insane for thinking Russia is going to attack them.

          I actually don't blame them to a degree. Putin's a loose cannon at this point and one with a very very good polker face. No one woud have predicted that Russia would perform a hostile takeover of another country's soveriegn territory, and yet it happened. Putin may say "War with the west is ludicrous" yet no one trusts him (because he has blatanley lied through this crisis) and tensions remain high. Former Warsaw pact member states are scared and genuinley fear the rise of another USSR type state. Ask yourself this, if you were a small, poorley defended country and you saw big bad neigboring bear country bullying a similarly small country, how would you feel?

          I imagine it's NATO pressuring it's member states, particularly those in Eastern Europe, to raise troop numbers.
