I take breaks all the time. Each time I play I only use up half my fuel cells (so I'm only sending out 5 teams or so) then I take a break, go do stuff, come back, repeat process.

Yeah, I'm fortunate to be able to hit the higher zones and earn more points. But it all comes down to pacing. My personal feeling is there's no need to burn through all your fuel cells in one sitting. Just pace things out.

I'm not expecting people to be scoring 3000-5000 points per event. But I do think there are some people who could be doing a bit better considering we're near the end of the event.

I know it's the weekend and people are busy, but I have checked on some of them, they've been active during the event, so they're clearly not participating in the event. Don't want to help the Alliance? Don't want to earn rewards during events? That's fine ... why they'd pass up the double xp though is beyond me.

Very and at least you're reasonable about it.

Like I exhausted my fuel cells down to about 2 or 3 before I took my last break to let my phone charge. I did only a marginal amount yesterday and Friday because I was cleaning and had some social commitments I had to do. Why I was kind of aiming to be considerably more active of sorts today and somewhat up until the event ends.

Just because some of us are capable of hitting 5000+ BP doesn't mean we expect everyone to. It boils down to accumulation. If everyone contributes 30 to 40 bps, and say 18 or 19 people are getting that a couple times that starts to add up. So every little bit, no matter how insignificant it might seem on the surface is a huge help when everyone does it.

Everyone is important, no matter what.

And trust me... i'm noting those who contribute as well as those who don't.

Though I never fault anyone for having life come first... :-)

Tyrannacon, as for suggesting... the best I can think of is send Space ape a message on the game's Facebook. Though in the menu tab there's a community (I think it called) tab that has ways to contact them.

Yeah, we're almost at the end of this event and only 17 of us have passed the 1,000 mark; with only 17 having passed 2,000. We've still got a lot of lower-levelled dudes but we're getting stronger all the time, so I think we can expect better results in every new alliance event

Alright CF. I'll try that and see what I can figure out.

Yeah. I played a little bit a moment ago while still trucking with my research. My hands are kind of tied at the moment because of it. I've got about one team free of sorts to scrap some Bots, while the other two are either down or in the middle of researching. So I have about a two minute cool down to wait. I'll probably try to do what I can before I go to bed. It's 10:20 PM for me. I need to take my meds and all that.

I've burnt out my fuel cells anyway and need to sleep so yeah that's me for the event. Just got enough Energon to get an Alloy Storage upgraded anyway - so in like 48 hours I'll finally be able to get enough resources to upgrade my base... if I want to. Though those extra Energon and Alloy extractors are very, very tempting...

News Credits: 3 · by **ctrlFrequency** » Sun Jul 31, 2016 9:23 pm

Well considering you have just shy of 800 bps, I'd say you did damn good :-D

(we have someone with a level 11 base that has done 560.... )

Don't blame you. I would be tempted too.

Something tells me I'm going to be busy with my Con's research stuff to increase their levels for the next little while. Frankly I'm trying to max out my alloy to finish upgrading my walls the rest of the way as that is the weakest point of my base.

Wow. That's pretty respectable actually. I didn't realize I was that high. I just kind of kept going. Heh.

Umhum, it builds up. That's why everyone can make a difference.

Very true. It does. I just didn't realize I had done that many battles to get that.

I need to restructure my base now that I've removed the second-last row of obstacles. I did a little reorganizing but it's a bit of an undertaking.

Thanks to everybody for contributing in the event. I got my first 3 star crystal from this, haven't redeemed it yet. Sorry I couldn't be a little more active (I know it's still on now and I'm doing my part in these final hours), busy weekend and all that. Prepare for war in the morning.

Oh we'll punish you.... I will put something really mean about you in the MOTD, then.every time you change it, I'll change it back (until Burn says something mean about both of us)

Ugh, I got distracted by something and didn't realize quite how low my phone battery was, it died when I still had about 11 fuel cells left and ~20% battery, now it's slowly recharging from 3%. (I have known battery problems in this device). How much longer is the event?

News Credits: 3 · by **ctrlFrequency** » Mon Aug 01, 2016 12:45 am

4 hours.

And my phone shut down as I w as s reading your post

(is yours a Samsung? All my Samsung devices have battery reading issues)

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Mon Aug 01, 2016 1:10 am

Someone tell Wreckers Command to **** off. It's pointless all of them attacking me, I have no **** resources to steal. >:oP

Nope! Samsung's primary competitor for high-end Android smartphones, HTC. Well they were during the time I got my phone, they're kind of dying now. But that's neither here nor there.

I was able to get back to the event and finish off my fuel cells. 1-star Scrapper is at level 19 with a few fights to go before he's maxed but it's whatever. I'll stick him in my A team during a few regular missions until he's done, then forget about him like the rest of my 1-stars.

I used the 3-star crystal I was able to get from the event shards and got a 3-star Rampage. I was hoping I'd get one of the 4/3-star exclusive characters: Bombshell, Divebomb, Onslaught, Razorclaw, Scavenger, Soundwave, or Shockwave. Alas, it was a character I've already got twice, just stronger. (can you tell I'm not overly fond of him?) I'd say the game is rigged, but that's not news.

HTC are like Wreckers Command. They can both go **** 'emselves. >:oP

I'd take HTC over Apple any day though.

Might I suggest a room with a moose as punishment?

They love you soooooo much, they can't help but raid you.

A room with a moose..... humm... I will put that on the list :-D

News Credits: 90 · by **Tyrannacon** » Mon Aug 01, 2016 8:54 am

And I'm not referencing Jared Padalecki style of moose. I'm referring to the actual mammalian creature moose.

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Mon Aug 01, 2016 11:25 am

What about a new york gangster tractor moose?

News Credits: 90 · by **Tyrannacon** » Mon Aug 01, 2016 1:03 pm

... Maybe. Very much maybe there.

Edit: I went ahead and messaged SpaceApe on Facebook. This is what I said:

Hello.

My alliance mates and I were talking about an idea we had for an added feature of sorts with the game. We thought it would be neat if you could donate how many ever of your resources to the alliance and share in some ways. Basically sharing energon and alloy that you can. Maybe institute a sort of honor system with it too so you have to put back into it what you take or establish limits as well after a certain amount of time. I'm suggesting this to see if it would be possible, but also get maybe some discussion going for it.

Thanks for making a fun and awesome game! I am enjoying it!

I'll let you guys know what I hear or if I hear anything back.

Edit: I just heard back about an hour later or so, this is what was said:

Hey, that is a great suggestion. We have sent that one on to the dev team. I will let them know it has been suggested again

I thanked them for the response of course.

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 2:47 am

Suggested "again" they say. Interesting.
