Pongie said: The difference is so small (5-7 points out of 9100) that it could just be the timing of your clears instead of the order of your clears. If you want a proper comparison, you need to simulate it and assume each battle takes x minutes to really see if the order actually makes a difference

This order is similar to another "hybrid" clearing order that I tried in my spreadsheet. Unfortunately, it scored the same as the baseline method. The real discovery here is that it's more important to let all nodes refresh as much as possible instead of giving more refresh time to high point nodes and taking it away from low point nodes. Thanks. Now if only we know why in a 48 hour sub sometimes when the node says Full Points, it's still not giving us Full Points, and the refresh timer is increased by up to 21 minutes..

Maybe, but what I've noticed (unless my memory is faulty) is that the time will say there are a few minutes left until full refresh. I click another tab then click back and it suddenly says "full points" (or whatever), even though the total points is actually one-point shy of a full refresh and there are supposed to be a few minutes left. If I wait until the time when it was supposed to refresh, it ticks up to the correct full point total (i.e. it says there are three minutes left, then clicks over to "full points" with a total 1-point shy of max, but if I wait three minutes, it adds the final point).
