Well Sproc had a VERY productive 24hrs yesterday ... a 370k gain vs my 170k gain. Sounds like someone has been sweet talking the RNG, because I don't think Sproc had a single mission below 20k, and with that one 120k mission ... whew. The RNG generator seems to have as many mood swings as my wife.

sprockitz Sensaur 2.727 M xp
Pyro Nosra Pyro Nosra 2.672 M xp (-55 k)
chrisjbrandon ShelbyGT500-cjb 2.411 M xp (-316 k)
Hoistimus Topspin 2.168 M xp (-559k)
Symbiote Spiderman14 Lightingstrike 1.630 M xp (-1.10M)
Dreadwind Black Rodimus 0.351 M xp (-2.38M) xp
Evolution Prime Evolution Prime 0.021M xp (-2.71M)

So it's neck and neck for first. Game on! At this rate, we could have a winner today.

For the top 3 slots

sprockitz Sensaur 272,747 xp TO GO! (Needs 10,637,626 xp)
Pyro Nosra Pyro Nosra 327,689 TO GO! (Needs 9,058,203 xp)
chrisjbrandon ShelbyGT500-cjb 588,918 TO GO! (Needs 10,887,637 xp)

actually I had a bunch below 20k. had one where i was shutout, another where i got 2k.

then the 118k, a 36k and a couple 20k, with a bunch of 10-15k missions balanced things out.

another 34k mission, ho hum...only 12 times what the second highest bot scored

i guess that $1500 check I sent glyph finally went through

You know - this is allot harder with your Lvl 8-10 guys spending the majority of their time hiding in the arena!

well you aren't generally going to see many lvl 9 & 10 guys in missions on either side. simply b/c the xp is ridiculous compared to arena. average 10-15k in missions and then 50 or 100k in arena...plus you are essentially an xp generator.

and i still do play missions, in fact i really haven't changed my strategy at all for this race, except to promote sensaur to #1 priority.

basically i've always done missions only with my 6's & 7's. then arena first with my 8-10's. i first check the arena at 8,9,&10 to see if cons are waiting, then fight all the ones waiting...then I activate my level 6's and 7's to fight in missions with the remaining spots...then if i still have spots left over i either send my 8-10's to missions or to wait in the arena...depending on how long the lead time for the next mission is. short lead time ill join right away, long lead time, ill note the start time, then wait in the arena for awhile...and only then if nobody has fought me in that time ill join the mission before it closes.

and down the stretch they come...

sprockitz Sensaur 2.862 M xp
Pyro Nosra Pyro Nosra 2.776 M xp (-86 k)
chrisjbrandon ShelbyGT500-cjb 2.477 M xp (-385 k)
Hoistimus Topspin 2.232 M xp (-630k)
Symbiote Spiderman14 Lightingstrike 1.690 M xp (-1.17M)
Dreadwind Black Rodimus 0.356 M xp (-2.51M) xp
Evolution Prime Evolution Prime 0.021M xp (-2.84M)

my love of drinking & the ncaa tourney could make this extra interesting

Darn it Burn! You're killin' me here. Ya gotta keep Gore out of the Missions. Just when I have about caught up --- and BAM! Sprockitz is having a field day on you again!

Sprokitz is having a field day on me?

Bull dust he is (all within 24 hours)

I dunno ... people bitch about the higher levels sticking to the arena, so I do a couple of missions and people bitch about me doing that! I can't win!

Besides, if you want to blame someone, blame the rest of the Decepticons for not providing some goddamn **** backup!

can't mean me I'm everywhere and nowhere at the same time

Well I highly doubt you're everywhere as you don't have a level 6 or higher.

Man ... looks like I hit a nerver there.

Was more refereing to Sprockitz Sensaur though ... since that is the reference for this thread for the last several weeks. I had not taken an inventory of the entire team, but for Sensaur, between this and that, and a couple others, Sprockitz was able to overcome the 260k lead I had in this race. It was more of teasing in flavor of the bantoring in this thread.

Believe me, I wish he would send in his Lvl 10's again - how do you think I got such a big lead in the first place?! Not a guarentee everytime - but does give a sweet payout for a mid-leveled 'con.

Dude ... lighted up ... may try a little of this .

any minute now...

Aside from the last paragraph (it seems Gore has no trouble getting decent backup in a 1-10, but a 6-10 it never shows) I was "lighted" up!

well i've only gotten 7k in the last 5 hours thanks to a bunch of crappy missions, but fortunately pyro has been gone so I'm holding onto the lead

Yeah - just have not been able to get close to a computer today until now. Let's see what happens now!

well we r in the same mission...a quasi head to head

and that'll do it...cons get the win, and pyro top score for the cons, but sensaur takes top score for the bots and completes the 3 mil xp dash!!

Hell of a race!

Can't wait until the next one!

i think we are both looking forward to some full nights of sleep now!!

oh yeah, my entire team is also now over 10 Million, the race between cjb and me that inspired this whole competition
