Best Of

Good morning @teenybee . Thanks for the info. I think the pop-ups we see between each level are relating to the test group we are in but not really relevant. I thought it was unique to each round and the same for all players, but it's become clear now that some players get the leaderboard and others get the episode race pop-up, and this is probably not relevant to my research.

I've been spending more than a year trying to get answers to the question "How do they do it?" = How do King manipulate leaderboard events. Now that I can see the answer I'm hesitant to share it. So my theory will have to wait and I will probably answer it in another thread. I don't want to spoil the illusion during All Stars so won't post it here in this thread.

I have gathered so much data and done some testing in real time too: I started playing with my Cornflower account last night, and on opening the app this morning I see exactly what I had predicted I'd see.

I may never post my theory or proofs here. It doesn't make any difference to our strategy for All Stars and I do not want to spoil the fun of the illusion. At this point in time millions of people are playing and probably feeling good about their progress. Let's keep it that way until the final knockouts.

I've had a rethink of my post and think I made an error with the evidence @Nobody1 but it takes nothing away from my conclusions that all the opponents are not playing in real time like ourselves. I need to update that post. I may have put in the wrong leaderboard. If possible could you delete my post from yours, because it would show in the original form even though I am now revising it.

Naturally @michimune ! My analyses are a work in progress. The workings of the All Stars tournaments are only slowly coming clear. It is completely different from last year, so in each round we learn more. Unfortunately you are unable to participate in order to witness this. The reason I edited my post was because I have mistakenly posted a leaderboard from last night thinking it was from this morning, that is all.

An interesting observation about the levels being easier without starting boosters. That is probably the older ones written by humans. They tend to have lucky board solution which can be accessed if you play the right moves on a no boosters board, and those can also score better for All Stars. I don't know exactly what it is where you are, but good night @Nobody1 !
