As per previous events...

Final Rank: 1230ish?

Final Score: 4.55m ish

Deck Strength (Pre-event, during, and Post-event): Just over 10k during. High 9s before and after.

Money Spent (Amount and Currency): none

Mobacoins Spent: none

Liked: I've never done this well before. Best I ever did was just under 5,000. I think since this was a crap episode, enough other people just sat it out that I was able to do much better.

Disliked: Getting from rank 50,000 whatever to 1,500 was relatively easy. Getting from 1500 to 1230 whatever was brutal. I got there in single-digit jumps. Jesus, it was like wading though molasses. Big bounties of 45,000 or whatever used to vault me up the ranks, but man it's dense in the better ranks. I should have been smarter about the math and just floated once I got under 3,000 and not waste like 50 cubes on a fool's errand. There was never any way I was going to get to 1,000 with the time remaining and with as few big bosses coming my way. I'd have needed another 1.2 million points. Even if every boss paid 50k, I'd still have needed another 24 of them, and they only came along rarely.

I still don't understand what has been happening the last few events. I only get more, stronger, and more active allies, but I see fewer big boss help requests and fewer requests overall. I thought I had learned the trick last time that if you went and scanned five or six bosses of your own and killed them or got help to kill them, that sent more help requests your way. That didn't seem to make much difference this time so I may have just imagined an effect that was just coincidence.
