Here's my recap for day 1.

Managed to finally get the game working after suffering through that bedamned SD card full error. When I got in and signed up for my team, there were about 6 hours left until the end of the event and the score was slightly in favor of my side. I got to work and went on a scanning spree, pulling several of the second boss (never did see the first one) and gathering a pretty good amount of energon. From what I could tell there were about 5 or 6 of us that were dishing out any boss punishment, and once I got into the groove of how the points system was working and how the combos and bonuses worked it made life a lot easier. I did happen to find a raid Skywarp bot card in my inbox as a "loyalty reward" so now I just have to figure out how to get the other half of it without blowing real coin.

In the end, we absolutely trounced the other team and got a very easy win. I didn't blow through too many cubes but I didn't have a gain of any kind either because I couldn't one-cube anything other than the L1 or L2 of the second boss. I managed to score MVP for energon scanning and boss scanning. I came in second for total damage done, first went to someone with a 16k deck that had to be blowing through cubes left and right like cheap beers at a frat house.

So far in day 2, cubes have been flying like crazy because without them I can't even scratch Heavytread (despite having a 22k deck). I'm sitting at 2nd for damage mvp but steadily catching up to 1st (a 14k deck who must have shot through a bunch of cubes overnight). This morning the score margin was abysmal and we were down by about 100k, but that has since closed to 15k with myself and two others going at it. The catching up was aided by the fact that nobody from the other team had made a move since last night, but now I see their score moving so it's going to get real in a big way this afternoon. Not sure if we'll manage a win today or not, but if we lose we're gonna make sure it's a close one. Haven't killed a single Heavytread since he went live, but have gain a lot of points by virtue of doing damage.

In terms of the team, I have no idea who any of the others are and from what I can tell by looking at profiles I think I have the big gun of the group. Should be an interesting afternoon, 7 and a half hours to go. We'll see what happens.
