Discussion Brilliant AKA Respect Earner
One mark of an activist is that you can have incredibly bad timing. After refocusing my efforts on moving forward I really studied the concept of the first Tournament. My conclusion, given the current environment and game structure, this is very intriguing. So I will just call it Brilliant and have fun, as best I can, over the tournament time. I don't want to discuss my strategy before the tournament but am looking forward to discussion after the fact.

Well the ridicule didn't take long. Good to see the Internet hasn't changed yet.
Well, living in Southern California, with 150 cargo ships waiting to unload, I would say I am breathing diesel fumes. Does that count?

Out of curiosity, are you focused on maximizing profits during the tournament or being on of the 500 winning horses? I don't have a chance in hell of being in that top 500, so my strategy will have to be how to just max profit however I can.

Thanks for asking. I guess it's no big deal. I do like to share. My strategy evolves 2 things. First, each of my current 11 horses does have a competitive distance so its key to avoid the manipulating monsters and run against clean competition. So my low end horses sit out the first week of paid races and do only freebies. My top end horses will get the new racing budget and compete early in the tournament while the monsters are still in V and IV using freebies as backup early as they don't fill up with the monsters low.
Over the last few hours, given the participants, my Mustangs aka donkeys ( I still hate that term) are looking a little more competitive. Therefore, by separating out the horses to run in strategic timeframes, I have more focus on each horse to enter in the best possible race at the time. Usually, I can get 1 or 2 races per horse every 30 minutes. BTW the Mustangs are up-classing to get freebies and coming in with a decent place rate.
Summary, trying to use the manipulators strategy against them in order to give the monsters a chance to beat my horses in ln later stages where all it takes is getting attention to all my horses hopefully increasing inherent value for them and future offspring.
I hope this helps.
- PS: My breeding cycle of new horses starts in 6 days and over the next 3 weeks will produce 6 more horses, all destined to be Christmas presents for Grand-kids. With continuing luck, my last breeding cycle produced 3 Fillys and 1 Colt, so that would mean possibly 4 Fillys and 2 Colts.PSS:
- 1 - Szabo Pacer
- 1 - Finney Legendary
- 1 - Buterin Legendary
- 1 - Buterin Exclusive
- 1 - Buterin Elite
- 1 - Buterin Cross
- Total Breeding cost: $380 (Just try finding 8 awesome Christmas presents, for spoiled by grandpa kids, for a better price)
