    My Exact thoughts. Every time I think it's about as bad as I've ever seen it....silly me.

    Hmmmm, calculations for this 7 days tourney from friday night for me:

    max:
    2 day weekend - max 14 battles per day = 28 battles
    5 days working time - work from 9 to 17 plus transport, cannot battle - 1 battle before work, battles from 18-22 - max 6 battles per day, 30 battles for 5 days
    summary - max 58 battles for 40 rounds - it's tight with many loses from high level champions and other dragons.

    min: because there are other things to do
    2 day weekend - min 8 battles = 16 battles
    5 days working time - work from 9 to 17 plus transport, cannot battle - 1 battle before work, battles from 18-22 - min 3 battles per day, 15 battles for 5 days
    summary - min 31 battles for 40 rounds - not finishing tourney.

    It seems that it will be very hard to finish this tourney for working people / students going to school

    Hey, it's FIFTH birthday, it should be EASY to get some things, not harder than usual!

    Haven't been posting for a while as real life took some extra attention. I also (had to) stop keeping certain lists, including my battle lists. But I've been playing like always, which means trying to get every dragon on my main account and don't bother about events, tournaments and so on on my second account.

    I'm still battling with the same dragons: Fire, Forest, Air, Water, Light and Diamond at level 15 for my main account and Fire, Forest, Air, Water and Mercury at level 10 for my second account. Due to bingo tasks I leveled Music to 11 on my main account so that it's faster to find in the list and got Music to 10 on my second account so it's more likely that he will win in the arena.
    So I also battle with some other dragons for bingo, but taking everything as it comes. Which sometimes gives unexpected wins, especially outside tournaments. But also the other way around: Started 'win a battle with a gemstone type', went to the arena: oops, Guardian Angel Ofcourse gave it a try with Gemstone but without succes. An hour later Air took care of it with on bash

    So for now that would be:
    14 - Guardian Angel(13) - Air(15) - B (Lost: Gemstone(10))
    15 - Overgrowth(14) - Fire(15) - B

    Yes, I sped up a few of the first rounds, just to have a bit more time for the last rounds, but also to finish some bingo tasks. I also noticed that lately the high level champs are really hard to beat, which resulted in an ultimate or 4 during the last tournaments, but that also had to do with me having less time to play. As long as I'm not spending more gold than I get from my gpd's I'm fine with that.

    On my second account I'm not even trying to get it, I will most likely not make it, I'm pretty sure Quicksand can't be traded, I have enough soft clouds for Cloud Rider. Bingo only starts next week again, so I'll probably battle some of the first round next week.

    Twee(200): 788 unique dragons, 529 epic, 7 lvl 15, 20 eggs, 18 in stable. 22 Diamonds, 14 GPD.
    Drie(168) (id:Bastiaan00): 209 unique dragons, 187 epic, no noble crystal. 8 Diamonds, 3 GPD.
    I'm not addicted, I just like to play

    If it helps any, this tourney is really only 6 and a half days, not 7. Remember, they start at 6:30pm my time (think that's 10:30am DS time?) and they finish at 8am my time (god knows what DS time that is, midnight?!) so the first day isn't a whole day, which caught some people by surprise 2 tourneys ago. Good luck all, and remember to wish DS a happy birthday when they put on such delightful games at their party

    Well that breaks my calc... "thank you" S8 and happy birthday DS. Now I'm sure I will not finish this tourney.

    P.S. Yes, it usualy ends 9am CET (my time) , which is 12am (midnight) PDT (DS time).

    As predicted, several losses on Guardian Angel. This isn't even a max level champion and the manipulation has already started. The last tournament, the max level Guardian Angel caused 20+ losses on 25% chance each.

    Either it's WAI (working as intended) for them due to manipulation or as we've been saying for ages, review your code.
