...a bunch of people will randomly use offensive cards on you? I was going for my first medal or two, and was doing pretty well until four people who are nowhere near second or even third place in *any* category decided to use a bunch of offensive cards on me. I had three shields but still ended up losing half of my eighty-ish scoops. Is there any real way ensure I get a medal ahead of time through hard work?

Nope.

Welcome to Domination.

(Pro-Tip: Save up visits til you have 12; you’ll get more vanilla that way. Also, don’t use your last 12 visits before Round End on Wednesday until like 30 minutes before it ends.)

It’s called shields.

BTW yeah imo there should be a week where no card is allowed so we can all concentrate on scoops

You probably should have had a lot more than 80 scoops.

In low brackets, you can often overwhelm the opposition by simply having more scoops and more shields. (This is hundreds; probably at least 300 scoops earned. It’s not actually that difficult with proper streaking and solo raiding.) In higher brackets, if you go for medals, you WILL be ****ed up the bum by dozens if not hundreds of cards. The only recourse then is to **** them back harder. Running 11 visits under an hour before the end and finishing a 12th visit (make sure your streak is properly synchronized) in the last few seconds helps.

What, so that it’s 100% owned by the people with the highest streak, instead of just 95% owned?

oh right eliminate pistachio scoops first

eliminate buildr too because its getting boring anyways

also eliminate forums because the 12121212121212121 thing is also boring

Well, what can I say? That’s part of the game. All is fair in love and war. And Domination is more or less a war. You actually won your first medal, didn’t you? That’s a good start. Log in to see images!

Other than that, you will learn, young Nathaniel. You will learn… Log in to see images!

I myself is also in a process of learning. Still haven’t seen much vicious attacks that cost me a medal. But I’ve been bumholed by, well, bumholes who had no part in the medal contest other than screwing other people up. That’s the cross the bracket leader has to bear. Log in to see images!

Besides, you got it easier than me (Level 32 Hacker vs. Level 26 Re-Re.) You only need better strategy and tactic. Log in to see images!

EDIT: At the time of the posting, I currently have 6.66” E-Peen and 6 Medals. Sweet… Log in to see images! Kittysan edited this message on 07/01/2009 9:57PM

Huh. That sounds… really crappy for anybody who tries to go for favorite flava or most scoops. Way too random for me. Maybe I’ll focus on min. scoops; that way I can buy lots of cards with my vanilla scoops and not be the target of the random bumholes playing bumhole cards.

They key is staying just behind the current leader, and having a higher streak so you can run your 12 visits in the last 5 minutes so you pbum him with seconds left…

Like I was going to do this week but forgot about Dom until 7:57 and screwed myself over.
