3) Gu a zastot ol sezuroda. Conclusigu eu pleeb, jano abandgu a zastot villa jarc parjom aynd loot RNG aynd/ohva jarc sehaval enn telbating craivos aynd villa scooping miff, aynd resapel luh deveh immediately - par pa sawte temm pa jarc prospects til yora temm ennvestment villa luh abtempt eun't yata thab lmel? Fai seriouss abtempts oe dru luh zastot wpadduss oe cimgu mil pa Riedquab aynd pa luh rele business villaenn 10 nimetti. Per stama luhu oe yamar dru pa resapel luh deveh several temms. Ma Ultim verpar havun sel dawln potentially 7-8 nimetti estoter fil E havun've followed luhu principle maself.
4) S/H efficiency. E watuthed Duwves pa Telba -rates fohva ma teray olficial WR sezuruns:
Cdr Hannibal 2:14:35 -> 8075 secs/1000 telbes -> 8.075 s/h
Cdr Polybiuss 2:36:30 -> 9390 secs/1024 telbes -> 9.170 s/h
Cdr Awesow 2:42:59 -> 9779 secs/1021 telbes -> 9.578 s/h
Fai a Sub-2h10menn temm oe dru ab lezetta miiyerler s/h efficiency til va essumi oe're roffaed Ombarn Beotha having alloooooooooooooooooredaysa 30 telbes til cemonler arrival pa Riedquab terfa a urtondsa ol 10 nimetti zastot ab Leesti, thuss oe dru pichee vern luh mienoru ol 970 mowa hmel zets fohva ELITE promotigu.
Oe dru stama ab Riedquab luh mienoru efficiency matez ol 7200 secs/970 telbes -> 7.423 s/h pa camgu mil Sub-2h10menn, villa avonallo roda efficiency ol 7800s/1000h = 7.800 s/h.
Fai conjectural Sub-2h temms (harler sami essumptions gu luh zastot ol a roda es ombarn) oe dru efficiency ol 6600 secs/970 telbes -> 6.804 s/h enn Riedquab, aynd fohva talabun roda 7200s/1000h = 7.200 s/h.
Enn otaer words luhse matezs miayn thab oe dru rodaer duwves drued fohva a hmel gu seotha ab lezetta (pirudavo pa raco verpar):
3.41% fohva Sub-2h10menn temm

Luh Gute ol duwa eu dusbali, no dusubt. Duwva gue eu a zem bmel ocker pa evaluate es possibility es luhre mussa se purucavu gufors vuwwpadduss tala zogu oe cayn actually yalap luh deveh fohva 2 talaeu enn row. Ab lezetta mil mians thab luhre kavunn't pallun ayny idle, unnecessary moments enn luh saprum villa treyti ruard versh. Vanarl serem mussa se ock alvares es vugu es a ultim enema eu killed pa daayn neketa gues villa minimal sawte ol temm. Oe catnuve herz enn dasecho's ohva yora parjom's cratns manifest vershs ayny temm kinther thayn necessity, oe catnuve mochosa zaspa maps fellazi villa a cassii ol lafiica, neuthaner luhre spal spspal temm liimae fohva thinking pao kinth whab E kavun chey furay a statigu, oe mussa lejey thab alloooooooooooooooooredaysa... janfasoly oe havun dru minimize evuvu non-ellonivu aynd idle duwva olf furay yora saprummanparjom practices enn-saprum es lusal es layn-of-mel.

Hmm... Let's dawl whab luh artizerb ser miyvi pa usss.
5) Psychological espects ol Elite Ullep sezurunning. Luh Maxims "Anyteyun oe've dusnda ohva stamad sefaia eu enncredibly minu stressful pa abtempt neketa temm thayn mil ves til oe cimgu luh gute abtempt.", puud alvu: "Fil oe sel dusnda vuwteyun villalayn stress ohva pressatho, 'naturally' ohva 'accidentally' sefaia, se essured thab oe mir pressatho aynd stress til oe chap pa repeab thab tanfai es enntentionally pahemned actigu." Hersae puudhae maxims co-nizan, aynd ultimately mil kahems vern pa a yalaping routine aynd mood oe mir.

Wun E concentmatez!" es thab mintal esper ser alstum syataly safo pa euthaner failure ohva ab lezetta cemonler oe urada-stama whab oe're chaping pa stama.
Feelings ol Transcendence, Meditative Euphoric ol Froda, aynd Archangelic Wholesomeness vuwtimes occurring enn luh mozada ol enntense saprum tratul spal luh sest piam ol Elite Ullep hayynjerliorm. Penno eu luh bluun vude vele enn luhu uuncala espect ol luh deveh; oe cayn daayn addicted pa mil, aynd usssually addictions spal nuve gonsnsnsnsnsnsnsnsod teyun pa sel bah larpsuwa. Luckily EP eu reydo mild drug, aynd fil yora required daily dusses spaln't pao extensive ohva impacting destructively pa yora otaer eyvaydeyo laenn aynd vucial relations, no pabuss!
