Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

[Pickles]

Ack, sorry! Yesterday was crazy long. They would prefer to tackle Brutes first. So...Brutes it is!

[Siniri]

Joined BRUTES and informed my own Brute Squad to rally.

"I'm on the Brute Squad."
"You ARE the Brute Squad."

[Blue]

Since Siniri IS the Brute Squad... I signed up with them as well

Go Bandwagon!

20 battles today.

We have one helper (that I know of) this round. Let's go!

Edit: 15 against the Thieves today.

Edit: another 20 wins against the duchess.

[Pickles]

I put in a fair amount today. I know the littles all have at least 30 battles in each (probably more, that was when I last checked on them earlier in the day). MLP discovered she can actually beat the second tier on easy now, which is a big deal for her. They're planning on getting more in tomorrow afternoon.

[Siniri]

17 wins against Kanrik, bringing me to 40 Sway wins and 32 Thieves wins, or 72 total. Kanrik was much nicer about giving prizes for each battle.

[Pickles]

I got in some more battling today. Put in a decent amount total (but definitely not on the lines of the Order fighting!). Kiddos did some more today, too. Whew! Here's hoping for the site theme/avvie for them tomorrow!

[Siniri]

Thieves won. Freeze Dried Bacon

[Pickles]

Ah, bummer. I put in 600 total...guess I should've tried for more. Or we should've joined Thieves - they needed that one, too. Well, there's always next time...

Thieves are awesome, and they find a way to win Ah well. Next time. Fizzy Apple Juice for me.

Here's the stats on this round, if anyone is interested.

That's... insane. 14,930 battles would take nearly 21 hours assuming you could do a battle every 5 seconds (which I don't think the site actually lets you do, no matter how fast your computer and internet are). 42 hours at a battle every ten seconds.

Not to mention the 75,000-100,000 clicks... Are their carpal tunnels okay?

[Pickles]

What about the 16095 for our team? I mean...ouch.

I can't imagine how my hands would be feeling. I usually do my weekend battling while I'm watching a movie or something, so I'm distracted by other things, but the weekend I did 2,000 I was having to be careful so that I didn't feel it toooo much. I can't imagine doing more...yet every time it seems there's a few people that do soooo many.

[Siniri]

I know a few people who get quadruple AS, which is an insane amount of gameplay per day, but I don't blame TNT for thinking they're using bots. (I know they're not, but no matter how ergonomic your setup, it really can't be healthy.)

I know sites make more money from more clicks, but I'd have a hard cap to encourage moderation.

Edit: new round: Sway, Brutes, Seekers

[Pickles]

Yeah...I don't know how they can do quadruple AS, but...I guess people do? For that matter, I don't know where they get the time for it, but I suppose if they're students and have the summer off...I dunno.

My younger two are probably going to want Brutes again, since we didn't win last time and they still don't have the site theme. I'm not sure if we have a chance or not, but...
