That's true about the rewards. I've been trying to get promoted to megalopolis (and this week I did it!) so next contest I will have been in every league. It's very hard to get so close to a big or medium prize and then get knocked down. Last week I was in position 4 at 6 AM EST on Monday, (one hour before the contest end), then got ninja'd multiple times and finished at 9. Small prize, no promotion.
SO... if it seems obvious that you're in for the small prize, or you're happy with the small prize, trying to stay in the top 50 should require only a smallish effort.
Still, there's always the chance that this will be your lucky week...
Hehehe Arcadia0426, I get what you mean about being ninja'd. I *thought* my last 2880 point assignment would ninja me into just inside promotion territory in the last hour, but someone else obviously thought the same thing, and ninja'd the both of us.... so I ended up one freakin' position shy of promotion. Missed by "that much". lol
I aint gonna play this week. ...well not for prizes or promotion, but just enough to not be demoted back to Town. I want to make a good few more speed-ups before I make my next attempt for the summit. 🙂
