Ruby medals accumulated: Lord knows! Uh...2000ish/.

Medals (Type, Amount, and Draws): I drew an Arcee R4 alt and I drew Red Alert's weapon -- with 40 minutes left in the event.

Ruby medals (Type, Amount, and Draws): 3 complete RA's, a lot of alts, 1 full Tracks plus an alt, alt Prowl.

Liked: Rubies were a fun change of pace. Everyone seemed really upbeat this event, and it really changed the shape of the early game insofar that the quantity of enemies defeated (and how you defeated) mattered a lot more becausefor rubies.

Disliked: I didn't feel stressed in this event at any point up until the last 80 minutes when things started moving for the last push. I think that the ruby space bridge, which should have democratized the game, actually created a larger gap where players who didn't put a lot of time into the game early (and thus build up their decks) were effectively frozen out of contention. Normally you can start playing the game with 3 days left and still make it to the end; not this time. The weak Raid Cards that won't make my deck after the event don't bother me, but another Prowl? Blecgh. I'd like to see more obscure characters, like Arkeville. You've got all of Transformers to play with, it's the 3rd or 4th largest shared fictional universe ever created (neck and neck with Star Wars, both distant seconds to Marvel and DC) revel in that! GIVE ME PADDLES OR GIVE ME DEATH! (Preferably Paddles.)

Any other notes/comments: As always, kudos to the chat.
