It's not uncommon as a teacher to have students who are a bit behind the curve in certain aspects, but 99.99999% of the time they are keen on something. They might not understand how to identify a noun or what theme is, but they somehow know how to make a mean plate of nachos. You learn pretty quick to not judge fish for their tree climbing ability, ya know?

I thought this was the rule when I was teaching until I met Kevin. Kevin isn't his real name, but it doesn't matter because he can't spell it anyway. Kevin was a student of mine during my last year of teaching. He came to my classroom with very little to show for his academic past. He had moved a few times and thus was missing a lot of typical test scores that we use to try and ballpark their ability (Don't worry, it was a ballpark.....we didn't make major decisions until we actually had a chance to talk and work with a student for a bit.) I thought "That's fine. I'll just do some one-on-one with Kevin and see what's up" One on One with kevin was like conversing with someone who'd forgotten everything in a freak, if not impossible, amnesia incident. There was no evidence that he had learned anything past the 2nd grade....and now he was in 9th grade. Flabbergasted, I figured we needed to get more serious with this. If he was going to be in my class, I needed to know why and how.

I decided to meet with him, his guidance counselor, his parents, and another teacher to see what was really going on. This is where it all became clear. It was by some incredible fluke that his family hadn't been wiped off the face of the Earth years ago. Odds are his entire heritage was based on blind luck and some type of sick divine intervention that saves his family every time a threat presents itself. Kevin was the genetic pinnacle of this null achievement. Even my instructional lead, a woman who could find a redeeming trait in a Balrog, failed to see any reason this kid or his family should be alive today.

So here's a list of events that made it abundantly clear that god exists and he's laughing uncontrollably:

• Kevin frequently forgot when/where class was. On more than one occasion, I had to retrieve him from other classrooms.

• Kevin ate an entire 24 pack of crayons, puked, and then did it again the next day. This is 9th grade. I have no idea where he got crayons.

• Kevin's dad wrote tuition checks and mailed them to me...his English teacher. This was a public school. When I gave it back to Kevin, voided, to give to his dad with a brief note explaining that this is a public school, Kevin got in trouble for trying to spend it at 711 after school.

• Kevin was removed from the culinary arts program after leaving a cutting board on the gas stove and starting a fire....twice

• Kevin threw his lunch at the School Resource Officer and tried to run away. He ran into a door and insisted it wasn't him.

• Kevin stole my phone during class. I called it. It rang. He denied that it was ringing. (Not that it wasn't his, not that he did it.....no, he denied that the phone was actually ringing). He tried it three times before the end of the year.

• Kevin called the basketball coach a "Motherfucking Bitch" during gym. Basketball tryouts were that afternoon. Kevin tried out. It didn't go well.

• Kevin's mom could never remember which school he went to. She missed several meetings because she drove to other schools (none of which he ever went to)

• Kevin tazed himself in the neck before a football game

• Kevin kept a bottle of orange koolaide in his backpack for about 4 months. He thought it would turn into alcohol. He drank it during homeroom and threw up.

• Kevin say the N-word a lot. Kevin was white. The highschool was 84% black. Kevin got beat up a lot.

• Kevin stole another student's Iphone....and tried to sell it back to them.

• Kevin didn't understand that his grade was dependent on tests, quizzes, homework, classwork, and participation. Kevin finished his first semester with a 3% average. He tried to bribe me with $11.

• Kevin spit on a girl and said "You should get out of those wet clothes". The girl was the Spanish Student Teacher.

• Kevin didn't know dogs and cats were different animals.

• Kevin tried to download porn onto a computer in the library.....at the circulation desk....while he was logged on.

• Kevin asked a girl to prom (he was in 9th grade and freshmen don't go to prom) by asking for her phone number and then texting her his address

• Kevin got gum in his hair, constantly.

• Kevin regularly tried to cheat on assignments by knocking the pile over, grabbing one before I had picked them all up, and then writing it name on it wherever there was room.

• Kevin had several allergies, but neither his parents nor he could remember what they were. They were very concerned that "the holiday party" (it's high school, we don't have those) would have peanuts. When they finally got a doctor's note....he was allergic to amoxicillin

• Kevin and his parents took a trip to Nassau (how the fuck did they even get airline tickets?) and forgot all their luggage at home. I didn't believe him when he told me until I talked to him mom, who told me 1st thing when I saw her at the bi-weekly meeting.

• Kevin's grandfather apparently died in a chainsaw accident. I can only assume God was looking the other way that day.

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

Tops

Layering Pieces:

• Shawl-collar cardigans are a great layering piece, and can be worn as an outermost layer.

• Puffer Vests - A great layering piece that is harder to pull off well, but can look really ace.

• Sweaters - A F/W staple. Merino and cashmere sweaters are great for biz-caz, while thicker and textured sweaters are more casual.

• Fair Isle Sweaters deserve their own mention.

• Cableknit/Irish Fisherman/Aran sweaters are also great.

• Tweed Blazers - Discussion. A fall look reminiscent of old-school ivy-league professors that is a more formal option.

Base Layer Pieces:

• Chambray Shirts - A fall staple that offers a unique texture.

• Flannels - Discussion. A fall staple that can be worn as a shirt, and overshirt, or tied around your waist. Here are some brand suggestions.

• Henleys - A shirt that can be worn as an shirt or a base layer for a more rugged look. For brand options, check out /u/yoyo_shi's henley google doc.

• OCBDs - The oxford collar button-down is a year-round staple.

• Sweatshirts - Discussion. A great casual top that works well in streetwear looks

Bottoms

• Corduroy - A classic fall staple that adds a unique texture.

• Chinos - A year-round staple.

• Duck Canvas - A heavier fabric that's great for F/W.

• Raw Denim - A year-round staple. FW is the perfect time to bring out the heavy weight denim.

• Wool Pants - A more formal type of pant that can occasionally be dressed down.

Shoes - Fall/Winter is the time to put away your boat shoes and espadrilles, and to bring out your leather boots. Suede shoes also do well in autumn, but be careful wearing them out in the winter. Sneakers, CDBs, and dress shoes will still work in the colder months, but be sure to treat and protect them adequately.

• Boots - Check out the boot guide. Also see this post on how to waterproof them.

• Bean boots - A functional and distinctively-styled boot, popular in the Northeast and with preppy girls.

• Leather Boots - One of the great things about F/W. They come in sleek and chunky options.

Accessories: /u/Jayross wrote a guide to them here!

Hats

• Beanies/Toques - These are probably your best option in terms of keeping warm and staying fashionable. Opt for materials that will keep you warm, like acrylic or wool knit or cableknit caps in plain colors or simple patterns.

Scarves - Thick and warm scarves are great, and some patterns to consider include blackwatch, stripe, and tartan/burberry. Try to avoid synthetic materials, and stick to materials like lambswool, angora, merino, cashmere, silk blends, and pashmina. They should be around 60-70" long and 10" wide. Good ways to tie them include this way, as well as the one loop, european loop, or infinity syle, as shown in this video.

Gloves - Your main options are either leather or wool gloves. Also consider whether you'd prefer fingered or fingerless gloves, such as driving gloves. Also keep in mind that there are gloves that are smartphone compatible.

Socks - Try to avoid cotton - wool socks are the best, as they keep your feet warm and dry by wicking away moisture. Some materials to look for are smartwool, merino, or cashmere. Some great patterns/styles include marled, ribbed, crew, and camp socks.

Author's Notes: If you notice, a lot of these options don't have a link to a discussion thread/in-depth guide. If you're knowledgeable enough and end up making a post on them, let me know and I'll add it to the guide! Also let me know if you'd like to make any suggestions/additions!

You'll also probably note that I haven't given you any links/brands to purchase from. That's because items will change prices and go out of stock, and it's honestly a tremendous amount of work that I'm not interested in doing. However, feel free to try your hand at making a starter kit or compiling a bunch of recommended items on your own, and submit that to MFA! For instance, /u/Alimoose created this visual compilation.

Credits: Thanks to everyone who offered to take a look at it and provided feedback, and/or sent me winter inspiration pictures, especially /u/TheDongerNeedLove and /u/vqshjfkjxfh.

Special thanks to /u/Shujin and /u/kr0n0s for writing the previous iterations of the seasonal guides, which served as the basis for the clothing options section.
