Final Rank: 37th. I like trying for numbers, and I was tossing around between being either 36 or 42. I settled on 36... then I took an ill-advised walk for cigarettes at T-45min that caused things to go haywire.

Final Score: 35,700,625 - nearly 10mil higher than what I needed to finish 12th last episode...

Deck Strength (Pre-event, during, and Post-event): Pre: ~12k, During: 16k, After (w/Galvy & Cyco): 13353. Six of my team are cards from the last two events.

Money Spent (Amount and Currency): US$113. I tried to get away with only spending $50 but cubes became a necessity later in the event.

Mobacoins Spent: I started out with ~1300 coins. Three tiers (1300) got me 2x Kup alts :/, and I snap bought the UM pack (3000). A fourth trip into the roulette tier bridge (1200), much later in the event and out of frustration, got me a Kup robot (a second MTM that was frustratingly irrelevant to my damage dealt). 5x12 cubes (500), 3x30 cubes (900) and 2x 150-cube packs (6000).

Medals (Type, Amount, and Draws): LOL I busted probably over 1500 silver and 1500 gold and got my 2nd R4 Jazz alt (I now have TWO utterly rare and utterly useless MTM R4 Elite Jazz) and an R4 Elite Bumblebee robot. I stopped busting them out of sheer frustration.

Liked: Teamwork. Without it, none of this was possible or tolerable.

Disliked: How blatantly Mobage views its customers as stupid cash machines was on display throughout the event. See my "Boycott" page post for some more; I'm not repeating it here.

Any other notes/comments: Our team is the best, end of story - 13 top 150 finishers, I believe. Congrats to WarDeal on 100 million points (which I was sort of jokingly suggesting a few days prior), mostly because many of those points were earned helping myself and others reach and maintain their top 150/1500 finishes - and there were many dramatic climbs into the top 150 (mine probably the least so, to be honest). Also congratulations and thanks due to our entire crew for the effort put forth for a second full event in a row. Someone came into the chat and commented that it was like a war room; we replied that it's not LIKE a war room. ;) I can't say enough about all the fine folks in that room!!!!!!!!!! I think I'd have quit this game by now without them because of the money it takes to do it without the team effort. Incredible comrades, all. A huge portion of my success once again due to you all.
