Good morning everyone and I do feel for you @DBrain ! Please don't lose sleep over this competition. You either are lucky or if you are playing against someone who already has almost a million points your're screwed. I am much luckier than you. I got up today to find that my main competitor (in 3rd place now) seems to have stopped playing! I'm still out in front this morning.
And if anyone from King reads this @QueenB I am really disappointed at the lack of any other events to keep us going in this competition, something that gives us timed boosters? My other game gets timed boosters on the Daily Treat Machine, that would see me through a whole episode in this game, but sunflower above gets 4 singular boosters, that will see me through four levels before I have to buy more. I get Candy Royale on my other game, but not on this one. I get nothing I think @DBrain has bemoaned the same. This makes playing these events a chore as opposed to being fun.
Anyhow good luck to all still going for the prize. Are you not playing this one @MonicaYellow ?
Maybe a strategy might be to let the person in front think they've done enough @DBrain and take a break until this evening and play full out then. Surely they'll stop playing if they are this far ahead? They are Asian judging by their name, so they'll be in a different time zone. Assuming they do sleep tonight, you might be able to catch up some this evening, but they do seem awfully far ahead.
I'm not sure I really care enough about the prize to keep going today myself. I've just played an episode in my other game: I won 125 gold on double Candy Royale and am way ahead in Sam's Streak without hardly even playing:
No Sam's Streak for Sunflower and even the chocolate box with it's meagre 5 min UFO reward is taking 24 hours to recharge. These are all the events I get throughout the finals here and it's just not fun to compete, as I am losing gold on it. I just think it's not good enough. Anyhow, I don't like those double colour bombs we'll get as a prize either. They mess up any strategy in my game. I'm not a fan of those.
I'll finish the episode now, play a few this evening while watching TV and then in the morning when I get my big Grand Prize in the weekly contest, and see where that leaves me. Have fun crushing everyone! If it's not fun, don't bother!
I won the semi final, but entering the final is too much. I will not play more than a million points in 2 days. Playing only one episode, I won candy royale, and shared 1000 gold bars with only 2 others. 334 gold bars was fine.
Maybe I get a few boosters for beeing in the final as number 37 or so..
So as I return to my game this evening I think I have not just one but two offliners in my leaderboard. Isabella kept very quiet for the first 24 hours. She was watching us. The Asian guy seemed to have stopped playing for a long time but then made a move and soon after, so did Isabella. I could try to beat them both with the old offline trick. But how to claim my gold from the episode race offline? Nah, I'll just play for fun and see how far I get. Maybe the runner up prizes will be worth something. Speaking of "worth".... I wonder if these guys going for millions of points think the gold is real? Why bother? The scores seem so much higher than in the Candy Cup? Weird.
