All my Weekly race opposition are new players under level 200!

christinewupp · January 23

And now I'm in a brand new game myself, my weekly race shows up: Opponents levels are all below 5. So none of these can see me, my own weekly race started only when I reached level 66. Half the other players played one level three days ago and then stopped. Not exactly random then…. in fact I would lean towards "not real" again on the basis of that observation.

@christinewupp got it and same goes for me too. Now playing the LUCKY LANTERN Where majority of my competitors are below or around 300 levels, some of 306 and some 204.

I agree with you @christinewupp about the beginning players generally not being difficult competition. My set have done the following so far: 107, 41, 13, 9, 3, 2, 1. So basically there is one worthy opponent there, who is doing pretty well for a beginner! But I got superchargers yesterday and am excited about getting to the end, so I've been going wild while I have them and I've done 168 so far, so I should still easily have this week's contest.

Now back to crushing - I still have almost 4 hours left on my superchargers!

Hi @christinewupp, no I have never had the weekly race. Jelly streak might be recordings as you cannot look up their profiles.

As you can see it is mainly me and Sunshine that are in the race, I will not catch sunshine too far ahead and 1st and 2nd price are pointless. I just play at my own pace and not bother with trying to win. 😀

Nice evidence there. When I play this event I usually score about 4000 or more points, and so does my opposition. As you state coming second or third here is pointless, so there only needs to be one other player to challenge us. It's always the best strategy to ignore these side games which only function to make us play more and start a new episode when we don't have time to finish it. You're definitely doing it right ignoring it. Good luck with your game!

Weekly comp just to get in to the top 5 is a complete waste of time I'm on level 12K+ the rest are newbies, one of them has cleared 450+ levels already. How am I suppose to get remotely close 😡😡😡

It's all fake @tocatchathief. I'm playing against complete newbies, all my competitors are at levels 1 to 5, but not one of them has played a single level since the event started:

King decide who we play against and King decide if we will win easily or if we will have to crush our hearts out to beat whoever they've put us up against.

All the people in my weekly contest look like they just started too. I don't know any of them. I'm in the waiting room every week so I guess I'll never win this one again.
