Is it that dead here? :p

Gamername: -godofcyanide-

Final Rank: 19

Final Score: 205,334,880

Deck Power (Begining/End/Post): Don't remember what I started with, but it was around 80k, I think / Up to 235K, forgot to screenshot / 94489 - MTM and TM R8 Kings, 5x Jetfires and my 2x Scorponoks from my last episode

Money Spent (and currency): LOL not on a dying game!

Coins Spent: 100, when the weapons bridge opened on Monday as I wanted a second Jetfire sig weapon. So of course, I got a Warpath weapon. Then the bridge disappeared, never to return. 1000 coins left in account.

Battle Cubes: +1384 (now 40833) / +643 fulls (now 1114). The full BC would be higher by about 100 or so had I learned how to effectively defeat the "you don't have enough BC" crap earlier.

Energon Cubes:  +4109 (now 6454). Between an EC for every boss's first attack prize, seemingly no fix ever to the first attack awards bug, and running Teletraan a gazillion times... yeah. No change to full EC (still 271).

Ruby Pulls: Lots of whatever Hound pieces I needed to transcan him for fodder later, mostly bots. One weapon at the end to use up max rubies.

Medals: Holy mother of Christ, the medals were exquisite to me. My first medal pull netted me four Hound alts, and my total first day medal pulls included 3 MTM Jetfires. I actually had needed to level up some Warpaths for day 1 as the increased boss HP was a problem for my ancient team of FortMaxes, but, between Teletraan and pulls I maxed out on Hounds quickly. Getting the free Jetfire helped a lot, as days 2 and 3 were Jetfire-dry, but I managed to MTM a fifth on day 4 and I had an extra bot which I sadly never got paired up. Note that all this early leveling took a HUGE toll on my medal reserves; I blew ~2330 silvers, ~4410 golds and ~6300 weapons medals the first two days as I was short on good fodder and credits.

On the subject of medals, man... WTF with the skimpy payouts on medals? At least the increased rate of raiders on the character medals made up for their lack... but weapons medals were reduced to a trickle compared to when I last played. Didn't get a single extra Jetfire weapon, just one Hound weapon - which I didn't need, I must have 50 or more in my base and I sold a few pages' worth and used some for fodder - and a few Warpath weapons.

Liked: Back to TFL to watch it die!!! Insane medal pulls on day 1 were HUGE. Great resource payout. Now have a stash of 26M credits after being at poverty levels for the first four days, as I sold off lots of medals including a ton of Warpaths. Making T1 - and emphatically so - in my first episode back, with much less stress than I'm used to. Much better CS than I'm used to, but for good reason, I really needed them to shine this episode and they did, eventually (and are continuing to do so, props to Eli for being a better CS rep than any I've ever dealt with there). Most of all, reconnecting with all the communities I came to enjoy and all the people I missed, who clearly missed me as much as it turned out I had missed them. Love you guys, really. :D

Disliked: THE GAME IS BEING UPDATED... all day on day 1. Not knowing about how to deal with the "not enough BC" bug cost me a few hours on day 1 and a lot of full BCs the first few days - but now I know how to better deal. Obviously, having to deal with the Blu Douches was very much not pleasant, and marred an otherwise great week of coming back to the game.

Other: Buh-bye to Blu and Bots - and soon their Spark accounts as well, most likely. The funny thing is, people are saying I got them banned. I did no such thing. THEY got THEMSELVES banned with their tough-guy big mouths on the internet, yay, you're internet badasses, OMG you're so cool!!! :/ All I - and a few others, as I wasn't the only one sending in tickets regarding their harassment of me on my wall - did was call attention to them and effectively hastened the process.
