Well, I got 200 wins yesterday, and I even had time to go to the mall.
I've been getting up really early. If I could use the computer whenever I wanted, I could probably get 300+ wins a day easily.

For me, on weekdays, I get up way too early, have a 45 minute (sometimes hour) commute to work where I can't play flash games, then 9 hours later commute home (once again, 45 mins to an hour), cook dinner, eat, and then have household responsibilities - one of the joys of being a married adult with a house of our own. That leaves me with anywhere between 2 and 5 hours of free time, so it's impossible for me to get anymore than 100 or so games in a night...and that's if I'm pushing it. I'm much more content to stick around the 60 games a day goal than lose sleep over it. I'm certain that there are many others in similar situations to mine. Real life, man...it gets in the way of fun sometimes.

Heh, I'm really not complaining(much ), just commenting that you're lucky to have so much free time, and that I'm a bit envious - but aside from my job, the rest of my life is pretty good. Heck, once we get all the chores done, my husband sits down and plays on his Neo account at the same time - and this year, he's determined to keep up with me.Serpens Albus wrote:Ah, well I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not married, but spending time with my girlfriend does take away from the time I get to play. By some freak coincidence, she's in Kansas until Wednesday, which means I have at least that long completely free. Then I'm going to California for a week. I can't complain, because CA is my home, but it couldn't have come at a more inopportune time. I wake up around 8:30 or 9 to start playing. I try to find something to eat, but there's little ready at hand. Luckily I don't need a lot to keep myself going. But hey, I understand your situation. The only reason I really want to do so well in this tournament is because throughout my three Neopets accounts (one frozen, the other one... lost), I've never participated in these things and so I've never really been successful on NP and had cool stuff like rare painted pets and such.

Edit: And now it's all back to normal...

Sometimes I wonder if it's that I'm not starting from the same position, thus angling the shot wrong....other times, I swear, the goalie all the sudden gets SUPERGOOD at blocking that one particular ball.

Serpens Albus wrote:Hey, Pickles, in your post about ranks, you said that you had 2,100 points, which was enough for "the top prize and then some," but I looked on thedailyneopets.com, and there were prizes worth waaaay above 2,000. Did you simply mean that you had enough for the level 20 shield, or am I missing something?
Pickles wrote:Last year, my stats were:
Goals: 17,356
YYB Wins: 2,000
SS: 150
MSN: 750
With that, I got 27,714 points at the prize shop. I'm not sure how they do it, but I think the goals must've counted somehow...
Probably the ratio of goals per game X gravitation difference between Neopia and Kreludor dependent on if the Space station is nearby or not + number of games played...
