EDIT - Yeah I may have put a bit too much in. :lol:


Yeah I'd of dropped it about 300 short of that then kept on eye on it if I were you (assuming you're free till 4) But we will see could be a stroke of genius. :lol:


Indeed, that was what I was aiming for. I just wasnt paying attention and unlocked a couple of achievements that I hadn't realised were there. Plus my maths skills seem to be a bit rustier than I realised. :lol:

It's still not inconceivable that 50 teams will pass us before cutoff, especially with people popping their bonuses towards the end.

EDIT - 45 now.

Regardless of what happens, this has been the best bonus so far as we're actually discussing it in the thread rather than just knocking out loads of achievements by ourselves.

If it breaks my bonus streak I'm going to have to beg to differ :lol:

But yes it is one of the first ones that actually required a bit of thought. The "Achievement" one wasn't too bad as it required a very small amount of research and the Viral one was ok for the same reason apart from that they have been largely gooseberry fool score x amount which is not much fun.

Down to 36 teams now. I think we might be about right, you know.

There are a lot of teams with lots of won bonus's knocking around the elimination zone so quite possibly.

I think we're going to be just fine. There's an hour and a half yet and we only need 13 more teams to pass us.

This is ridiculous haha

We are approaching the target, 13 teams, only 25 mins left though, and I'm only 488 above safety myself.

Once 3pm ticks over that's it, no one gonna be overtaking 90th place unless they are incredibly stupid or are just waiting to be scanned

The only teams that will over take us will do so via use of bonus to as it's their only option.

It may have been totally accidental but good work you've somehow managed to plant us in pretty much the perfect position for this bonus at 3pm on Wednesday :lol:

Just to make it extra exciting I've just managed to unlock a 100TA achievement which I'm really hoping won't autoscan in before cutoff. :lol: :fp:

Someone has been offering to boost the last achievement on Rugby World Cup for ages and they just asked me if I wanted to do it. It wasn't until afterwards that I was like 'why the strawberry float did I do that?' :lol:

After checking it's actually only 38TA, so it shouldn't be an issue.

That'll be enough to strawberry float us! (at the moment at least)

Chances of an autoscan are somewhat slim though unless it's done as part of the competition?

Hopefully in the next 50 minutes it shouldn't be an issue

EDIT: Ok mini crisis over we are fine again.

:idea: PUT THE CONTROLLER DOWN :idea: :lol: :lol: :lol:
