Champion

I did it! I'm a Winter Cup Champion! OK, I did it by my standards (i.e., ignoring the unfair playing field). 😛 Frankly, I should be a champion just for making it to 2nd place by replaying L54 only. So, for the complainers /conspiracy theorists, y'all don't have an excuse. Take the L and learn. 😝 I don't mind missing out on…

That's valid then. They were indeed easy levels--but time-consuming IMO. Both require at least 10+ minutes to compete IIRC. In contrast, certain 3-colored levels can be won (by me) in 2-3 minutes and generate far more candy. A good 3-colored level should yield an average of 1500-2000 candies of a needed color upon…

I googled an image, and 8328 does indeed look like one of the coveted 3-colored levels. Not sure why you mention 1000 or the former version of 1476--both of those were always 4-colored levels (addition of purple candies), meaning players will never collect as much of a needed candy playing them as from a 3-colored level…

@Kerrie From previous events, I suspect the magical level that those million points players are replaying is either in the 10,000s or 11,000s--that's the range I refer to. I'm nowhere near that point, so I wouldn't even know what level though. Just my observation. Playing new levels won't do a thing to make a difference in…

@DSEdgar Regarding your 2nd para, it's not even about time & money/effort. The game's always been designed so that 3- & 2-colored levels give the most blue & green candies. King nerfed the easiest 3-colored levels under L2000 (i.e., L450, L611, L1738), and 2-colored levels (which are rare to begin with) only exist at a…

Yeah, I don't stand a chance since King paired me with one of those a-holes. The lower-place rewards are never worthwhile, so I might as well throw in the towel now. @QueenB If King insists on having these types of collect candy events, they need to find a way to group players based on our current level. I in the 2000s…

@SabrinaM I made the Semi Finals (pics below) and Finals. Though after reading about those players collecting over 1 million blue candies, I don't stand a chance at the grand prize assuming I'm paired with them. 😬

Sweaters seem uncomfortable and itchy, but if I were forced to wear one for the holidays...:

Thanks @Kerrie, that's exactly what I meant. Agreed, the old forum design was much more user-friendly. Seems King can't help themselves with fixing things that aren't broken but refusing to fix things that are. 🙄
