I definitely experienced a first for me Tuesday night... I got bumped out of fireworks, just before the fifth round. My score that made me get bumped? Almost 201,000.
I'm quite proud of myself. I've gotten less real-life work done than I'd have liked, but I made a nice dent in my VMK work. That's what really matters, right?

Last Thursday night just before close I had 4,000 credits. By Friday night, I had a little over 33,000 and right now I have 70,080.

And that was after I only managed one measly game and an NPC/music/music mix run Monday right before the game closed. Wednesday will be a partial Fireworks marathon day, and Friday will be maybe an all-day marathon. Once this is all over, I'm taking a break from fireworks for as long as I can get by with it.
And special thanks to a DL AP holder friend (she's a member here, but I don't think she's posted in a long time) for sending me several Explorer Tent Codes to help me out (since they sell for 2,000 credits each). I've used one so far, and will use the others soon.
ETA: Since I already got my 30,000 goal and I saw what I can do, I'm shooting for 250,000 credits by Sunday night. Probably
way over stretching it because my time is limited, but I shall try, anyhow.
