Collusion.
(Outside of getting in touch with the top players and finding out everyone’s payout times so that you can try and ask to be left alone so you don’t move down so much during the day. )
Besides that not much you can do.
I place first at payout, my fleet power is 437 047
And I get bumped by opponents with fleet power that is 355 978.
So it doesn’t matter how strong you are. Fleet is about playing.
Lots of people don’t play fleet much.
Like you said, you go from 5 to 144.
But once you start playing you go back up to 5.
That’s very impressive. But think of the whales that have maxed out fleets and still get knocked down easily.
Will no one think of the whales. :-(
