Welcome Jorge to TEAM ABGOFAST! Raced a few Sub Zero tracks with you already. Both of us winning 1 time each. As you use Android, so do I. If you want competition on the weekly tourneys, accept my friend request here and I’ll share via private message my facebook information for you to friend me. (@wazemank, @phoenix6 and @alcusto are also Android users).
Here is the long story about PUs and when we started to use them as a team. When the team multi-player game first came out, we all were saving PUs for single player challenges due to the price/gem and they were not free. We chose not to use them in multi-player.
Then came the cheaters and hackers into the game so many of us started to use them to compete against these jerks. After version 1.5 came out, the team was really doing well…we got to the #1 overall ranking and enjoying the great friendship that came along with theses results.
We then needed motivation to stay on top! We decided to have friendly competitions amongst us. If you look back in the forum, you’ll see the fun. This is where some of the nick names have come from. This is also when we started to use PUs more frequently….to see who could get the most eggs or most wins in a week. I think our ghost still reflect this fun as many of us stopped using PUs.
Then….the WTFUPDATE happened before Christmas to version 1.6. Disaster for just about everyone. I lost everything that put me in the pit stop for 3 weeks till Rovio restore my account (thank goodness!). Some of the users lost many karts or downgraded karts (@wazemank, @phoenix6, @platium)…others suffering this duplicate identity problem (@alcusto) and iOS users still experience constant game freezes & crashes plus their golden egg counts reset to zero (@dbkraemer, @jamej, @nacho18). So we put the competitions on hold till we could all get our problems fixed.
All of this madness made us “friends” with Rovio support people. They promised to more than one of us that an update to address the cheaters on the leader board. We hope next update official game update makes them disappear and ABGOFAST will show up #1 again.
I think we all agree to reduce the use of PUs as they’re not need against the weak / hacker teams. Since you can use them for “free” after a video, there is no harm to use them from time to time. Special powers are fun to use too. No big deal. I prefer to race without either one and rotate through all the bird drivers race after race. I’ve had success with it and it works for me.
When everyone’s tech problems are behind them, we’ll likely start our competition again. The teammate who picks the competition gets to tell us the rules for his or her challenge (i.e. with or without PUs and special powers). Then we follow the rules set forward. That’s the other way we make sure it’s fair competition amongst us.
