Game this system and you'll win placement prizes, but lose out on mission prizes. You, sir, have it pegged. You have a choice, sit out to put yourself in contention for 500 hp. Play to rack up some of the easiest ISO you will ever get. Either way, everyone should be happy, they are giving away craploads in this event. The Punisher isn't going to be a difference maker straight away, don't stress about him. If he is, I'll eat my ladder lol

Not sure if the intent of the game is to make deducing the rules part of the challenge but that seems to have been the case with these wacky tournaments lately. Believe this is the "don't play too often" tournament. I'm still torn about if I should enter when the hunt first starts so there is more time for my games to "age" within the bracket or join later and let the game "age" outside of the bracket. It seems that the crazy high numbers don't come until I've joined so trying an immediate join this time. I'm in dead last at 1001st place and 15pts. Will see if it points get high enough to make top 400 by the end or not. For the most part I've been playing one at a time and starting the next one when the current one ends. Just looking for heroic token (you can never sell enough Modern Hawkeye covers...) and trying to stay high in my main bracket.

Misguided wrote: Oh, I'm top 5 in the main bracket, that's the problem. I want the heroic token from the sub-bracket, but this will be the second one I couldn't get because of the whacked out scoring. First place on the main bracket is 29.9k. I'm a few hundred back at the moment. Grinding to catch up would only make the next sub-bracket worse.
