I love the new armour. It's absolutely stunning. But that colour... what happened?! It's like zombie crossed with mosaic snot...

Well, I've had a busy morning. I started at this: And after hitting the six point items hard, have ended up at this: Next job... update my spreadsheet... I fear I've done a number on most of the 6 point items, and left few below 320np. I've left the 1-4 point items mostly alone though!

I think I did exactly the same, so it's not just you at all!

Thankfully my weird YOLO bet didn't impact my winnings on Monday. And I got 20:10 yesterday as I skipped the base bet for a Blackbeard chase - the chance of an extra 14:10 was worth losing the 2:10.

Not bad! Not bad at all! Pity Senor Malo didn't pull his socks up mind you! And no star players at all.

Possibly because Moltara have been boosted into the middle tier!

There seems to be a mishap: Maraqua are in 4th when 7th is the best we should have got. Moltara in 10th, when the lower bracket caps at 13... If it's not one thing, it's another! EDIT: I put Moltara in twice!

Whoops. That wasn't meant to happen: I had intended to follow Garet... but forgot to change Lucky back to the 2:1 when I put the Venable bet in. So now Goob had really better win as I have no safety on him!

Well, I managed Rank 32 in the end! Skin of my teeth, but I well surpassed my Double All-Star goal, which I honestly wasn't sure I was going to reach! Oh wow! Now that is truly some dedication to the cause!! I was nowhere near D-Pad's total, but I admit, almost all of my free (and work!) time did go on the AC this year. I normally read 14 odd books a month... I read two. I probably did three-four days of actual work in a month so I could hit deadlines that would be noted if missed. I spent the morning playing YYB usually, unless the team strategy was to hit side games. Then I played as much MSN as I could get in before I moved away from the computer and tried to max SOSD on my mobile. I am however far too easily distracted, particularly when playing the side games!

I think you were very close to the middle bracket, but are in the lower bracket:

I think you'll struggle to grab 7th from us I'm afraid. It's a pity LD's inflated scores were held. I think Maraqua would be getting an absolute whooping in the top tier, but we probably belong there. We're either very high mid tier or very low top tier and the fact that LD's cheating group ensured them a top tier place means that a solid mid tier team will likely have the 7th place stolen from them.

And Rank 29! Less than 600 points away from Double All Star! And 12 games to Rank 30! I also discovered I miscounted last years points and I actually had 14,140. So I have more than smashed that with 17,200 points! Congrats! You can definitely make All Star! Well done! It's got to be really slow going without YYB! Whoot! Well done! Im impressed that you managed to max SOSD all the days!

You can do it! Keep trying! One game at a time! You are so close you can almost touch it! 10 games of YYB is about 15 minutes worth! Go go go!!! I reached Rank 28 today. On route to double All Star at Rank 30!

Just finished all five seasons of Orphan Black... moved onto Breaking Bad. This says a lot about how much time I've put into this cup... rather too much in fact!

That's a relief! I focussed on side games yesterday and completely avoided YYB, but I was hoping to get at least another 200 games in next week!

I have 62 saves in comparison to last years 981. It's not just Moltara!

I'm a couple of games off Rank 28, but have managed to creep past my last years points with a small margin! You can do it! Five days to go! All you need to do is max YYB on all those days I think! Well done! You can definitely reach AS!

HAH! That is fairly awesome. They should take over the main reporting of the event...!

I mean that would be vastly entertaining at least! I strongly suspect they are playing the same game as us though. I find it highly suspicious that the first big 'fix' (ie the one that broke everything) came after their staff tournament started... I wish they could 'lock' user control to one player though. I'd far prefer to run one single attacker than deal with player switching!

Just about hit Rank 27 yesterday. Still on target to smash last years 15,200 odd points!

That will make my day! I certainly won't be swearing... or at least not in a bad way!

On days when I'm on a roll, I can purchase 500-700 items easily. I've been completely lax since the AC started though!

Yeah, I went with the best team from last time as well. And @Angeló, well there's two plushies that I am almost certainly never ever ever getting for my gallery!

My goal average has also taken a huge hit. From averaging 11-12 to maxing at 8!

Hah! Oops! I'd raise it as an editorial question as @berriganify is right, the item doesn't look like that on the main picture! And they may be more willing to answer as they are pointedly ignoring any and all questions about the Altador Cup!
