    Thanks for answering my question. That was really tough and unfair for you. I am so sorry you got cheated like that by the game.

    I'll confirm that I retroactively got the 30x bonus for offline play, but I only went offline maybe twice all tournament for 5 minutes testing it, no long extended periods (there might be a time limit). But also the common go-to excuse for large point jumps by other players that customer support would give was "They were playing offline" meaning that the 30x bonus for offline play was understood to be retroactive by them. You can't make a large jump without that 30x for new level bonus.

    The rules themselves state you will be given the bonus for new levels and that you will be given your points when coming back online. So by rule you should've received your points. Possible explanation....if you restarted your account there maybe was some weird coding thing offline where your phone memory thought that you already beat the level and shouldn't get the bonus. Different devices store data and communicate differently. Restarting accounts although borderline 4.6.8, seems to have been an acceptable play method since once at the end of the game you can't compete unless if you restart. This is merely a possible explanation for why the error occurred. Even if someone is at a low level, they are not guaranteed wins unless if using an exploit. Not even buying lots of boosters would win them the tourney. There are advantages in restarting....obviously....But it is what it is and your play seems to be the result of skillfull dedicated play.

    Just removing this evidence response, I'm continually trying to not upset the omnipotent King. But that exploit should be fixed, 100k cap per level during a tourney would easily do it. People make fun of me for Crushing it, then they make even more fun when I get upset over someone trying to manipulate a tourney... I just want to play a fun fair competitive game.

    Level 3

    @pmin With the new player card data, it proves I played 380 levels, in the last 7 hours, between 5pm and midnight. Tomorrows player card will / should show only 2 levels in the last 7 days. Perhaps, you'd be able to calculate better now, if you could please. Thanks for the help!

    Player Cards:

    Monday, October 14 / 12:43PM Last 7 Days = 2353 Levels Won

    (10/06 at 5PM to 10/13 at 5pm)

    Monday, October 14 / 6:41PM Last 7 Days = 2298 Levels Won

    (10/07 at 5PM to 10/14 at 5pm)

    Tuesday, October 15 / 5:12PM Last 7 Days = 2298 Levels Won

    (10/08 at 5PM to 10/15 at 5pm)

    Wednesday, October 16 / 8:08PM Last 7 Days = 2297 Levels Won

    (10/09 at 5PM to 10/16 at 5pm)

    Thursday, October 17 / 6:52PM Last 7 Days = 2139 Levels Won

    (10/10 at 5PM to 10/17 at 5pm)

    Friday, October 18 / 5:04PM Last 7 Days = 2139 Levels Won

    (10/11 at 5PM to 10/18 at 5pm)

    31 Hours Left in the Tournament at 5PM:

    Saturday, October 19 / 6:18PM Last 7 Days = 1475 Levels Won

    (10/12 at 5PM to 10/19 at 5pm)

    On Saturday, at 11:49PM, I was at 3,250,066 points

    On, Sunday, October 13 at 12:49am I was on level 1529

    7 Hours Left in the tournament at 5PM:

    • Understanding the Player Card Data: Each player's card reflects the total levels won over a 7-day period. This means that the difference in levels won between two successive player cards will give you the levels won during the overlapping time frame.

    If you read my post, it talks about how levels have different scores. My opponent got over 1 million on 1 level completion, several times..... So showing me levels played only helps support that you weren't asleep and there's a scoring error that needs to be fixed.

    Anywho....since I knew your score the moment you went offline in a screenshot, if I had a screenshot when you came back, I could multiply the differences in the numbers by 30 (well 29 but didn't want to confuse you), then add it to your final score. Otherwise the best thing I could do is give you an average scoring rate estimate for the lost time. Your scoring rate was slowing a bit, but nowhere near 50k, where it would have needed to be below the last 10 hours for you to legitimately lose. I still think low 7 million to 7.5 range, 8 million no way. Only candy crush officials can get you an exact score without that screenshot. But once updated I think there will be at least a 700k point difference between you and 2nd at minimum. It shouldn't be close

    7 Hours Left in the tournament at 5PM:

    Sunday, October 20 / 5:46PM Last 7 Days = 382 Levels Won (10/13 at 5PM to 10/20 at 5pm)

    10/13 at 5pm to 10/13 at 11:59PM = 382 LevelsĀ - About 380 levels done last 7 hours

    31 Hours Left in the Tournament at 5PM:

    Saturday, October 19 / 6:18PM Last 7 Days = 1475 Levels Won

    (10/12 at 5PM to 10/19 at 5pm)

    10/12 at 5pm to 10/13 at 5PM = 1093 Levels

    I believe I figured it out:

    Level 1529 to 1103 = 426 levels in 7 hours 49 mins, and 1,591,200 points in 7hours 24 mins.

    With the 380 levels from the last 7 hours plus some from the other 2.5 hours, I'd expect about 1.5 million more points as well, moving me to around 7.3million ish. Should be over a million over 2nd. Thanks for all the help and analysis @pmin


    On Saturday, at 4:25pm I was at 1,658,866 points.

    Yeah it's hard to say the EXACT points, since scores per level are different. But unless if you paused on one level for hours or were suddenly playing on level 15,000 ; ultimately the 'Normal flow of the game' should continue.ā€¦ you'll play a variety of levels and the scores even out into a pretty predictable hourly scoring rate.

    All I did was calculate your rate before you went offline. And it is vastly above the score you received. So long as you share the general offline time information with support they should be easily able to correct it. I don't think the player card comparisons are even necessary.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
