Well, I got my medals without a single vanilla scoop and only four gambled antifreeze last time I was active in domination (I never had enough   for blackjack). In my experience I was always able to compete for Fave Flava and sometimes even Total Scoops except in the top bracket and in the giant bracket in the first week of this season but having only a fistful of cards is a big disadvantage.

I have no problem with raiding klans having an advantage, the problem is that the edge over nonraiders is much to big. You should get scoops for different achievements and klan cooperation is something that should be rewarded but it also should be possible to compensate for that. Last week I got whopping 15 chocolates for my Forumbuildr submissions and considering that both my logo and my style got chosen that isn’t much (and the votes for Forumbuildr are dropping further).

Some thoughts:

– you shouldn’t get more vanillas for 12 visits than you can get lemons (=36, maybe 50), so that a raid is only worth it if you can get some lemons and pistachios on the way. That would make a raid more difficult to organise but also more interesting, I guess.

– Fortunately antifreeze is kinda fixed now but I still don’t get it why it is possible to get scoops for gambling. Gambling isn’t fun (some addicts may disagree), you don’t need skills to do it and you don’t even do it with others. There should be a better way to get antifreeze.
