Last minute score snipes have almost done me in twice in a row. It's perfectly legit, and my own fault if I choose to sit comfortably on a score while other gamers are grinding at it, though. Several times this year, I've either lost track of time, or had some other catastrophe at home to deal with prevent me from posting on Sundays, so I've tried to be more proactive and get my score in earlier in the week. Eh, it's just the ebb and flow of a friendly competition. The only guarantee is to just do your best and post it.
In all fairness, the last score post (that I'm aware of anyways) from Tier 3 came in from Red at 8:22 so there were still 2.5 hours left. I hear you though, it's a gambit. Do you post the scores early and have others use that as a benchmark or wait until the last moment and lower the boom? Either way, I wish you good fortune!
Well, I meant "last minute" fairly loosely. As in, the last part of the week long event. Rereading my post it looks like I'm implying it like a very last second poach on an Ebay bid, lol. 8:22pm still left a very generous amount of time to post, I'm just tucked in for the evening at that point.
Honestly, I got lazy the past two weeks. Been dealing with a bunch of stuff at home, so I got what I thought were solid scores, put 'em up, and walked away. I'm very confident I could have scored higher, but I figured it was good enough to stay in the runnings, and I've comes THIS(makes tiny gesture with thumb and index finger) close to getting bumped out. I'm going to have to work my ass off this week. I'm a completely green noob to AI, and this is the finals. I think I'll come up with an OK score, but the odds aren't in my favor.
No matter what happens, I want to say that I've had a blast participating in the weekly contests this year, and look greatly forward to next year's games. I have seen some absolutely insane scores from you guys, and I feel like a better gamer just for having participated. Thanks for having me!
Anyone that doesn't have something from him should probably check out his store😜
