Infernus Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) It sucks. I keep doing well in the weeklies and yet keep moving down the list. Currently I've got the second highest points in the weeklies, only behind Exxdee, but that -77k in the SOTMs........

Currently I've got the second highest points in the weeklies, only behind Exxdee, but that -77k in the SOTMs........ There's a trick to the SOTM's, you know. Unlike you, I blow donkeys at the the weeklies, yet this trick gives me a decent score overall. Really, its magic trick. Well, not so much a magic TRICK as a magic WORD. That word, of course, is "Abstain". As far as this competition goes, its the best word in the English language. If you can crush it on the weeklies, you just want to not shoot yourself in the foot elsewhere. Pick the SOTMs that you are absolutely sure you can get points on, and abstain on everything else. Its the easy guide to life. The downside, of course, is that you'll never win. On the other hand, I have no illusions of being able to win and I'm quite pleased to be in 6th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first time. And just like every first timer I couldn't hold my excitement . But no worries, I will return in the winter of 2017-18, wiser and more learned, to finally conquer what was rightfully mine Spoiler The second position 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I just keep telling myself that all I have to worry about is beating Tele. That's my only goal after the Summer game performance. Not going to cry... at all... about not being able to catch up with the leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking that into account, you're probably at least 400k points behind the leader. (I might be as well. I'm just hoping I have a big enough buffer to stay ahead of you.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
