Sorry, Pickles. We did our best.
With no offence meant to Faerieland, though, if you have an urge for serious Yooyuballing, maybe tomorrow would be a good one to save up for? Tomorrow we face the Lost Desert, the team that broke our straight run of wins in the first round. (Tomorrow also sees Darigan face off against Krawk Island, which will be an interesting one to watch.)
LOL. I'm not *too* upset, really. And I know everyone's doing their best! It's OK to have a couple down days, especially with how much winning we've been doing.
Now it's time to step it back up again! Besides, having fun at the wedding made up for it, definitely, and at least we won Weds and Thurs! We beat Darigan the first time around, so I guess that makes us even? But Shenkuu...they're starting to make a comeback from the early losses now. I hope the other teams keep an eye on them since we've already played them both times.
As for Lost Desert...
I plan on doing some serious damage *every* night - I'll have to if I want to get anywhere near a gold trophy. I'm pretty close to rank 10, but it's 100pts or more now for each rank up for me. I don't think I can handle 100 games a day every day - I've done it once, the day we were against Krawk. But yeah, tomorrow night, for sure I'll be doing as much as I can possibly handle. I'm *aiming* to get somewhere between 60 and 75 points a day minimum, but the more the better. {does some rough calculations from what I remember of my scores} Ouch. If I want to get to rank 17 (the minimum gold trophy), I need to get approx. 83 points a day. Hm. At least there's two weekend days (that I have nothing planned for), and the July 4th holiday included in that (which I have off work, whee!).
I can't wait to see who wins in the Darigan/Krawk game tomorrow! (I bet they'll "delay" the results like they did when we went against Krawk to keep up the suspense).
BTW, if anyone needs help calculating their current points for rank, or wants to know how many points they need to earn per day to get to a certain rank by the end of the competition (I'm not counting finals), feel free to PM me.
Edit: BTW, I just noticed the rank page link finally made it into the first post. Thanks! At least now we won't hafta keep reposting it!
