The only time I got secure in my position to keep advancing, ninth place both stage one and two, and still doing well during stage three, I DC!
I've tried at least 20 times tonight. If I don't get in top 15 I just start over and not waste my time, because I just get sent back to the lobby before I'm at 100K anyways. And the thing is I can usually get 170,000, just not on quest days!
NOW I've tried four times and get frozen just trying to enter the fireworks lobby. No way i'll have time even if I get a lucky game with my newly inspired knowledge that I can get a lower score. Only 10 minutes to start three games (and finish two) -not gonna happen. Even if I didn't write this...
I had a feeling 170K would cause some uproar. My main character completed the quest but I didn't have enough time for my mule. Oh well. I did pick up 2 of the 50th chairs at the Emporium as well.
aaaaaand, I even played a few games of Mansion with people who were on quests.
I got my pin earlier today around noon-ish. had some DC problems in Fireworks, and people leaving Mansion and not having my score count. (grrr!) but all in all, today went pretty well. ended on a good note.
