Operation whipping boy....

what was the signal we used in COC to let people know we weren't defending? Xmas lights? Maybe if we're not upgrading we should turn on x-mas lights, upgrading lights off?

EDIT: or stadium light on not upgrading off upgrading since I would assume it's at your landing zone with the field?

Thanks to the visible star system, should be obvious to note people who either aren't upgrading... or simply aren't playing.

Sometimes I don't see the stars, not sure why. If I'm not paying attention of not.

does it show the star rating in random?

Word is that for random you see the star rating of their town (!) before you start the match. Silly if true.

I don't play random. I don't need to. I can see why people who do not have other options would want to.

To all my neigbourinos, I'm not upgrading so if you want easy wins just drop on by. :D

What a kind gesture tapper, but I am worried as to who you don't want to upgrade? Is everything OK???

I'd rather save my game $$$'s for event stadium purchases, also if we're all 5-star the game will come down to the toss of a coin every time :shock:

A few notes...

- If everyone was n-star then it would be a coin toss, except for the tonic. n = 1,2,3,4,5

- The way the payout is, if you are less than 3.5 you want to lose to a 5-star difficulty match and get 22/90. If you are 3.5 or more then you get the max by winning a match that is rated .5 less. Example: If you are 3.5 and win a 3.0 difficulty match then the payout is 22/100. But if you are 3.5 and win against a 1-star difficulty match, the payout is only 14/80. If you are 5-star and win a 4.5 difficulty match, the payout is 28/115. The table is in the strategy thread.

Of course you want to get your first-win-of-the-day because that is 75 / 150. And if the daily task is to win some number of games, then you probably want to do that for the 800 finger bonus.

By the way, I think the first-win-of-the-day bonus goes away after you get the Burns' skin.

I have had the burns skin since day one and I have still been able to get the bonus

Hmmm. You are talking about the Brockman first win of the day bonus, right?

Never mind! I forgot about the 1-star difference. Doh!

From the strategy thread...

Winning one Tap Ball game per day (even if it's a lower level opponent) will give you a Daily Win Bonus (although there seems to be a one star difference requirement for this.

'First win of the day bonus' I've missed a team meeting somewhere :roll:

Check out the very first post in this thread. Great stuff there.

I played again, made sure my team was 1 star above the team I played, and got the bonus.
