Then I went back into the event and was perplexed to see a retaliation node for TheBigWax, even though my points were not affected and it still had me showing 1185. Again, I went into chat and mentioned how bizarre that was. Then I went back into the event to see if I could find some queue up some good matches and, only after I had skipped several and queued up a 15-pt match to take me to 1200, I looked at my score to see that I had dropped to 1146. I know there is sometimes a sever lag with shields, but, according to the chat timeline, my points did not change until about 5 minutes after I had shielded. And I've never seen points change for a battle after you are told it cost you 0.

And I've never seen points change for a battle after you are told it cost you 0. I had a similar, bizarre point-change delay happen a couple of days ago. There was no shielding involved, but over the course of 5-6 wins and no incoming attacks, my score bounced from 136 to 187 to 146 to a final score a bit north of 200. It was in an LR, though, where the points don't matter and, apparently, everything's made up.

So many bazookas... I saw you in my node, I chose to let your mr Rogers be. Part polite and part I knew you'd end up with 10b and 10r after 2 turns if I tried anything

I'm at 945 currently and #3. #1 is 1049 and #2 is 1008. I'll try to make a push to 1k and then I think I'll call it a day, as I don't need Green IW.

There is no team now I wouldn't think about skipping... Cos everything poses much of a thread in Latveria!

That's what I get for trying to squeeze in a few extra pts from an 85 mn mags Edit: haha, and then again after I shielded. Atleast that one didn't cost me, so : P

If it wasn't for those darned alliance points I would absolutely just let you have it. And now seasons too. Our bracket is going to be intense with Kingsucram, Ferret, entropic, icarus and noob in the mix!

Hope you still hit your target score.
