Player card test

I can confirm that yes, if we travel to an excluded country during a leaderboard contest then the event will just disappear, but this is not new or related to the player cards. Events only show up according to our location, regardless of which country we are from.

Thanks for your support and yes I'll keep going for now, in the hope that King will make the player cards an opt in/opt out matter or abandon them before long. For the time being I guess keeping my location secret will suffice. What I don't like is the thought that anyone can track who we are by knowing where we are, which together with our names (maybe I should have used a false first name or alias) is too much information out there in the public for my liking. I don't do any social media because I don't trust the way we can be identified and tracked by our posts made, this community is the only one I ever post on. And social media is at least using passwords and security systems, this one here is utterly public and what we post can be viewed by anyone. Then anyone who sees our player cards could link that to what we have posted here, so I am getting rather wary about posting any screenshots here which would link me to my player card for anyone who might wish to track me down. I may be paranoid here, but I have come across a couple of trolls in this community who seem to harbour a strange obsessive grudge against me for some reason, so I am getting wary.

I share all my tricks here anyway, so it's more a matter of principle than that I really care about anyone knowing my playing strategy. I do find it kind of scary how "Big Brother" King are though and actually the new player cards serve as a reminder to all of us of what data they collect about us all the time. King know who uses cheats and which ones. Don't any of you for one minute think that anything we do is not being monitored or fed into some algorithm that monitors what we do. As I am still hoping to compete in All Stars 2025 I'll plod on with it all no matter what, but after that I think I'll quit. The game is getting tediously boring and ever more controlled by King's algorithms so that it's getting too predictable now, it's lost all sense of agency or gameplay.

On that note: I had a go at the original PacMan game at the airport in Paris yesterday, where they have old Pac Man machines for free entertainment while waiting. I used to love this game in 1981 and spent lots more money than I should have on it back then, finding it very addictive. I was surprised how much playing it again I was reminded of Candy Crush! I remember in 1981 watching in amazement how some experts rolled through Pac Man knowing just how to do it. I guess PacMan is following a simple to crack algorithm and once you have cracked it you can win and eventually it will just get utterly boring. It's quite sad that Candy Crush in 2024 is reminding me so of Pac Man in 1981, how King have reduced the complexity of the algorithms to such an extent that it is feeling like playing PacMan. Essentially all 17,500 levels follow the same set of simple rules. Ridiculous game really.
